Tightly coupled microservice architectures present an ever increasing number of dependencies and complexity. In this talk, learn how to break the problem into manageable chunks and test the performance of your Kubernetes app, early and often.
Over his extraordinary career, Walt Carter learned and developed a remarkable ability to lead people, teams, and organizations through massive, transformational changes. Many of these were turnaround efforts, where the teams had gotten off course and needed help to re-orient and re-align to the original mission charter. Some of these were “blue ocean” journeys, where there were many unknowns and uncharted waters. A few were do-overs with a new crew to take on someone else’s mission. In all of them, Walt logged the lessons learned and kept track of what worked and what didn’t. Those lessons are available to you, the new change leader, and can get you set up for success on your changes.
In today’s hyper-connected world, digital ecosystems are the lifeblood of businesses and organizations. From cloud-based applications to complex networks, ensuring that these digital landscapes operate at peak performance while efficiently managing capacity is crucial for success. This topic delves into the art and science of optimizing digital ecosystems. Explore cutting-edge strategies, best practices, and innovative techniques that empower businesses to deliver seamless user experiences, handle ever-increasing workloads, and stay agile in an evolving tech landscape. Discover how effective performance and capacity management can be a game-changer in achieving digital excellence and maintaining a competitive edge.
In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, the threat landscape is constantly evolving, leaving organizations vulnerable to sophisticated cyber attacks. As traditional security measures struggle to keep up, a new ally (or is it a foe?) has emerged – Artificial Intelligence (AI). This session delves into the next battlefront in cybersecurity, highlighting how AI is both revolutionizing the way we defend against cyber threats, but also becoming another weapon in the arsenal of the bad actors leading to more sophisticated threats.
Building a cloud agnostic Multi-tenant SaaS Applications: Challenges and Lessons Learned – This session is about best practices and lessons learned after building a cloud-agnostic multi-tenant SaaS application. It will cover topics related to tenant provisioning, passing context in microservices, tenant onboarding with AuthN and AuthZ, data partitioning, DevOps strategies, and cross-cutting concerns.
We have tremendous IT turnover today and a lack of skilled resources for some job roles such as threat hunters in a Security Operations Center (SOC). This session will explore how Escape Rooms can teach IT leadership about building a Cybersecurity team. An escape room is an ideal teaching tool that an organization can leverage to address the challenge of assembling a security team and navigating problems together. Success starts with the team and having the right mix of talent and skills should reveal the clues to the game. We will explore the job roles in a SOC and skills required while correlating those to the skills required to successfully navigate an escape room challenge.
I will use this talk to present a holistic Chaos Engineering framework that:
* Highlights the context of chaos engineering and performance testing, esp. as they both relate to
Service/Site reliability engineering (SRE).
* Describes how SLO, SLI (Service Level Objectives and Indicators) and Observability relate to
and impact SRE, chaos engineering and performance engineering?
* Depicts the key relationships between chaos engineering and performance testing including test
case generation and management, test data management, overlap in testing, among others.
* Provides views on ways of working & collaboration between the performance engineering
team and chaos engineering teams using value streams & collaboration tools.
* Present organization models with roles and responsibilities for performance engineering and
chaos engineering teams focused on business outcomes.
More:
* What is SRE or Site Reliability Engineering?
* What is SLO and SLI (Service Level Objectives and Indicators)?
* What are the key pillars of an SRE practice?
* What are Application, Platform and Service Performance and Resiliency Metrics?
* How does performance testing and chaos testing overlap and relate to each other?
* Why and how should performance & chaos engineering teams collaborate?
* How should I organize SRE, Chaos and Performance engineering teams in today’s agile, Dev-
Ops enabled and Cloud-Native world?
This is a hands-on workshop that demonstrates using AI to develop more sustainable and improved food supply chains. #softwareForHumanity
In the Sustainable Development Goals report for 2022, the United Nations found that nearly 1 in 3 people lacked regular access to adequate food in 2020. At the same time, nearly 13% of food is lost in the food supply chain from harvesting to transport to storage to processing. When food is wasted, so are the energy, land, and resources that were used to create it. We can use emerging technology to develop more sustainable food chains.
Autonomous robots, artificial intelligence and remote sensing technology can optimize farm operations using precision farming, automate harvesting and grading, and monitor food quality during transportation. Reducing waste at each of these stages increases throughput.

About 80% of data within organizations is considered being unstructured data that is locked up inside text, emails, PDFs and scanned documents. In this session, you will learn how organizations can take advantage of AWS Intelligent document processing in combination with Generative AI to enhance document processing capabilities, improve ROI and delight customers.
Learning Objectives:
Learn how to power up your Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) pipeline with Generative AI capabilities, using services such as Amazon Textract, Amazon Comprehend, and Amazon Kendra.
Find out about real-world challenges in automating document-intensive business processes such as those in insurance claims processing, loan and mortgage application processing, and others by utilizing Generative AI.
Learn how IDP can help drive up business process efficiency, improve accuracy, and reduce costs.
