AWS Cloud Center Excellence Quick Start Prescriptive GuidanceTom Laszewski
This presentation is a practical playbook for defining, establishing, and implementing a Cloud Enablement Engine (CEE). It collates and summarizes the lessons learned and anti-patterns gathered from the CEE journeys successfully navigated at Amazon and other large enterprise companies. A lot has been written about the need to establish a CEE, the benefits of moving to a productization mindset, and the business value of tribes, guilds, and two-pizza teams. However, larger organizations are still struggling with a CEE 30-60-90 day plan, and the essential components of the CEE during its first six months in existence.
The prescriptive guidance in this presentation provides pragmatic and tactical advice for establishing a Cloud Enablement Engine (CEE) – also referred to as a Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) or Cloud Enablement Team. This presentation serves as a step-by-step guide for the initial setup activities, and the top ten best practices that have been extrapolated from working across a large number of customers. What not to do is as important as what to do. Therefore, the top ten anti-patterns are discussed.
A key focus of the CEE is transforming the IT organization from an on-premise operating model to a Cloud Operating Model (COM). The transformation to COM and the charter of a CEE are highly correlated and interconnected. During the nascent stage of the CEE, the focus of the CEE will be on the infrastructure components of a COM. This includes the operations, security & control, platform architecture & governance, and infrastructure provisioning & configuration management functions. AWS understands that enterprise (on-premises) operating models are based on ITIL. Therefore, the cloud transformation from an on-premises operating model to a COM will include mapping ITIL to a cloud, agile, and DevOps based capabilities and processes. Fortunately, ITIL 4.0 embraces DevOps, cloud, and agile.
The document discusses building a Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE). It defines a CCoE as where thought leaders work to build solutions and services to help customers succeed with cloud implementations. It provides guidance on how to build a powerful CCoE, including forming a skilled team, delivering quick wins, acquiring leadership support, building reusable architectures, engaging stakeholders, and scaling the team. It also discusses how research and development can stay up-to-date on technologies and work closely with the CCoE to deliver products and services.
Establishing a Cloud Centre of Excellence is a cornerstone of any modern Enterprise Cloud Strategy. Learn how to accelerate cloud adoption by creating a team of people dedicated to define, evangelise, and institutionalise Cloud best practices, frameworks, and governance across your business.

Adopting Multi-Cloud Services with ConfidenceKevin Hakanson
In transitioning to multi-cloud, IT organizations have the same responsibility to provide quality service and operational security yet have a much greater need to understand how to efficiently govern and manage these disparate cloud services.
In this session, we will examine some key patterns and models taken from a Cloud Adoption Framework through a multi-cloud lens. The presentation will include a mixture of high-level guidance, examples where vocabulary and terminology differ, and opinions on when to utilize cloud-agnostic vs cloud-native technologies for strategic decisions.
Attendees will leave with a better understanding of how to implement a Cloud Adoption Framework across multiple clouds and a higher level of confidence in their multi-cloud adoption plans.
The document discusses a 4 phase approach to IT transformation with AWS: 1) Business alignment to define goals and roadmap, 2) Migration of existing applications, 3) Transforming operations to a new agile cloud model, and 4) Operating in the new state. Key activities include identifying measures of success, selecting a cloud adoption framework, developing a multi-year roadmap, establishing a cloud competency center, taking a phased migration approach, transforming the IT model, and providing constant education to the business. The outcomes discussed are examples of companies like Shell and Qantas successfully transforming parts of their operations on AWS.

Migrating Thousands of Workloads to AWS at Enterprise Scale – Chris Wegmann, ...Amazon Web Services
At the end of this session participants will learn how to assess their enterprise application portfolio and move thousands of instances to AWS in a quick and repeatable fashion. Migrating workloads to AWS in an enterprise environment is not easy, but with the right approach, an enterprise sized organization can migrate thousands of instances to AWS quickly and cost effectively to ensure a strong ROI.
Many large enterprises have begun using AWS to host development and test environments while also building greenfield applications in AWS. After realizing the benefits that AWS has to offer, many Enterprise look for ways to accelerate their migration to the cloud. In beginning this journey they are often faced with a number of challenges such as determining which applications should move, how they should move, and how can they be effectively managed in the cloud. Accenture, working with AWS Solution Architects, and AWS Professional Services have developed a framework, based on our experiences, to quickly, efficiently, and successfully move enterprise applications to AWS at scale. This session will review our approach, tools, and methods that can help Enterprises evolve their cloud transformation programs.

This document discusses the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) and provides guidance for developing a cloud adoption roadmap. It begins by outlining common mistakes made during cloud migrations and what to expect from the presentation. The CAF is then introduced, including its 7 perspectives and how it can be used as a guide. Key elements of a successful cloud journey are identified, such as executive sponsorship, cloud-first strategy, and experimentation. The presentation emphasizes that cloud adoption is as much an organizational change as a technological one. It concludes by stating that the objective of IT has changed to help, manage, and optimize business processes through innovation and communication aligned with business objectives.
The document outlines an agenda for a workshop on cloud adoption using the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework. The morning session will cover an overview of the framework, defining a cloud strategy, and putting together a cloud adoption plan. The afternoon session includes hands-on exercises on implementing an Azure landing zone, enhancing the landing zone, and next steps.

As organizations begin their journey to the cloud, they often ask us what changes they need to make in their organizations in order to sustainably adopt cloud services. This webinar will educate attendees on charting their own cloud adoption journey by leveraging the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) to sequence the transformational activities. We will go through the 7 key perspectives of the CAF that will shape your people, process, and technology strategy, and how they guide you through the 8-step journey into the cloud through the process of IT Transformation.
The document provides an overview of Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) and discusses how it can help organizations plan and execute their cloud journey. The CAF is an iterative process that includes defining a cloud strategy, planning cloud adoption, preparing the environment, migrating workloads, governing resources, and managing operations. It discusses key aspects of each stage, such as assessing motivations, creating a business case, rationalizing existing systems, developing a skills plan, setting up initial governance, and establishing operations management processes. The document aims to guide organizations through all facets of cloud adoption using established best practices and native Azure tools.

Here are some key considerations for your cloud patching cadence:
- Align your patching cadence with your Oracle cadence month. This ensures you receive patches on the same schedule as other Oracle customers.
- Schedule non-production patching for the first Friday of the cadence month and production patching for the third Friday. This allows time between the environments.
- Check Oracle's public blackout calendar to avoid any dates where patching may be disrupted.
- Consider concurrent patching to update multiple components like database and middleware together for reduced downtime.
- Opt-in to monthly patching to continually incorporate critical updates for best security posture.
Does this help summarize some of the main factors to establish a cloud patching cadence

Elasticity vs. State? Exploring Kafka Streams Cassandra State StoreScyllaDB
kafka-streams-cassandra-state-store' is a drop-in Kafka Streams State Store implementation that persists data to Apache Cassandra.
By moving the state to an external datastore the stateful streams app (from a deployment point of view) effectively becomes stateless. This greatly improves elasticity and allows for fluent CI/CD (rolling upgrades, security patching, pod eviction, ...).
It also can also help to reduce failure recovery and rebalancing downtimes, with demos showing sporty 100ms rebalancing downtimes for your stateful Kafka Streams application, no matter the size of the application’s state.
As a bonus accessing Cassandra State Stores via 'Interactive Queries' (e.g. exposing via REST API) is simple and efficient since there's no need for an RPC layer proxying and fanning out requests to all instances of your streams application.
Move Auth, Policy, and Resilience to the PlatformChristian Posta
Developer's time is the most crucial resource in an enterprise IT organization. Too much time is spent on undifferentiated heavy lifting and in the world of APIs and microservices much of that is spent on non-functional, cross-cutting networking requirements like security, observability, and resilience.
As organizations reconcile their DevOps practices into Platform Engineering, tools like Istio help alleviate developer pain. In this talk we dig into what that pain looks like, how much it costs, and how Istio has solved these concerns by examining three real-life use cases. As this space continues to emerge, and innovation has not slowed, we will also discuss the recently announced Istio sidecar-less mode which significantly reduces the hurdles to adopt Istio within Kubernetes or outside Kubernetes.

The Strategy Behind ReversingLabs’ Massive Key-Value MigrationScyllaDB
ReversingLabs recently completed the largest migration in their history: migrating more than 300 TB of data, more than 400 services, and data models from their internally-developed key-value database to ScyllaDB seamlessly, and with ZERO downtime. Services using multiple tables — reading, writing, and deleting data, and even using transactions — needed to go through a fast and seamless switch. So how did they pull it off? Martina shares their strategy, including service migration, data modeling changes, the actual data migration, and how they addressed distributed locking.
The document discusses fundamentals of software testing including definitions of testing, why testing is necessary, seven testing principles, and the test process. It describes the test process as consisting of test planning, monitoring and control, analysis, design, implementation, execution, and completion. It also outlines the typical work products created during each phase of the test process.
