The Lake House architecture is an innovative approach to getting the best of the cloud while saving money. Take advantage of your "hot" data and cycle out the data that doesn't get used as much, back into S3 for static storage. This allows you to use the high-speed performance of Redshift for only the most important data and then save money by storing less-important data in less expensive, static storage. 

Join data experts from 2nd Watch and AWS for an in-depth look at this pattern and how it can save you money while making you even more productive and decisive with your data. We will review industry-specific use cases, and share how Lake House is essential for cost-effectively solution for analyzing high volume use cases like streaming data.

Agenda
* Presentation including industry use cases - 25 minutes
* Demo: Build lake house, Crawl data, Load data into Redshift, Redshift spectrum: 10 - 15 minutes
* Q&A : 5 minutes

Lunch & Learn Huddle: Your Game Plan for Application Modernization in the Cloud

IT leaders today are faced with significant challenges - supporting remote workers, increased cyber security threats, implementing new technology to improve IT efficiency, and the growth and dependence on cloud computing.

Many times, migrations to public cloud are based on the infrastructure currently running in an organization's data center and do not take advantage of the enhanced features in the cloud. The sooner you start thinking about Optimization and Application Modernization, ideally prior to a migration, the more efficiently your environment will run and the more cloud waste can be eliminated, resulting in lower costs and improved performance.

How is this accomplished? Unfortunately, there is no “easy button” to evolving your cloud environment. It begins with a shift in thinking. Traditional cloud savings methods are still very important, and if you take those same concepts and apply them up the stack, you can achieve more efficiencies and position yourself well for the future.

Join 2nd Watch and New Relic for a fun, interactive, in-depth discussion around the methodologies used to obtain true Application Modernization and Optimization across all aspects of your Cloud Environment.

A successful digital transformation means alignment between business and IT. We see a lack of support between business units when there is a perceived opposition of the other’s goals. 
 
Greater alignment means achieving speed, security, operational efficiency, cost controls and governance while providing greater value to the business and end customers.
 
Common goals among business and IT units is a critical component for success during a digital transformation. Come explore with us the most effective way to get there.

How Business & IT Should Think About Cloud Migration

Unlock your path to AWS with a risk-free migration cost analysis.

Whether you need a business case, a TCO, or to understand your risk of migrating to the cloud, data is key to ensuring a successful, cost-efficient cloud migration. The first step in your migration process is learning how to collect and use the right data.

Join 2nd Watch, an original AWS Premier Consulting Partner, and CloudChomp, an AWS Advanced Technology Partner, to learn how a financial analysis tool can automate the capture, consolidation and analysis of infrastructure utilization to accelerate your path in migrating to AWS and help you plan for  re-hosting, re-platforming and re-architecting on premises assets to run on AWS.

Migration Without Hesitation: Your Cost-Effective Cloud Migration Tool

The first step in choosing a security assessor for your cloud environment is deciding what standard you need to evaluate against.

Many clients tell us their last assessor certified their environment as “officially HIPAA compliant” or something similar. But this represents a fundamental misunderstanding of what basic security and privacy laws even mean – no private organization can certify any environment as “HIPAA compliant!” 

This webinar will help guide security, privacy, and compliance stakeholders to some fundamentals about the different cloud compliance standards, laws, and regulations. Additionally, we’ll cover some of the most common compliance myths we see when working with clients. Lastly, we’ll map compliance standards to different industry verticals. Discover how ”compliance” (or at least an OK from the regulators) is achieved and the red flags to look out for when selecting your next security assessor.

Planning for the Future of Your Business with VMware Cloud on AWS

DevSecOps is a misnomer. Smashing Security in between Dev and Ops is the wrong way to think about optimizing your DevOps + Security pipeline. Many believe security is the blocker before getting their applications out to production. Owned by some distant, unapproachable team, security can seem like the new deep divide with a 'throw it over the wall' mentality. Instead, Security must be sprinkled throughout the DevOps cycle, taught from the beginning when developing best practices and automating compliant infrastructure, and owned by both DevOps and Security, working as a team. 

In this webinar, we will dive deep into a sample DevSecOps culture and pipeline and show precisely how Security is not the blocker some make them out to be but an enabler to a positive customer and internal experience. Using the GitLab Secure and Defend solution, we’ll highlight where and how the protections of SAST, DAST, vulnerability scanning, license management, compliance management, and more can be a part of your development process and not a blocker.

Additionally, we’ll identify where both DevOps and Security teams can knowledge share in order to best aid each other toward a more efficient, and more secure, pipeline and product. 
 
We will focus on a fictional company, specific challenges they faced, and the things they did to address those challenges from Threat Modeling and Risk Classification, Security and DevOps Education, Automated Policy Enforcement, Secrets Management, Vulnerability Scanning, SAST and DAST, monitoring, and more. 
 
We'll step through the DevOps cycle and expose exactly where Security comes into play and how many of the steps/process/requirements can be automated to eliminate toil.

Deep Dive into DevSecOps

If you’re in a development or operations role, you probably gawked at this title. The truth is, having some other company manage your “DevOps” is an insult to the term. However, bear with us while we put out this scenario: 

What if you don’t have a team that can manage all your tools that enable you to adopt DevOps methods? 

Why should you have to spend time managing the tools you use, instead of developing and operating your application? 

These are key reasons to consider using a DevOps platform managed by experts. In this talk, we’ll cover “What is Managed DevOps”, the tooling, the implementation, and what you should consider before choosing your pipeline. We’ll have experts from GitLab and 2nd Watch share how an end-to-end solution can meet the needs of large enterprises. 

You won’t want to miss the opportunity to laugh along with us as we share how we “Do all the DevOps”.

Managed DevOps (Yes, this is a thing)

Disasters come in all shapes and sizes. Whether caused by a data center failure, server corruption, human error, or cyber-attack, there will be incidents that disrupt business as usual. 

Join 2nd Watch and CloudEndure, an AWS company, to learn how to overcome the challenges of developing a robust business continuity strategy. We’ll share our proven methodology for ensuring your organization is getting optimal value from your business continuity solution while allowing fast, easy and cost-effective recovery in the AWS cloud. 

We’ll show you how CloudEndure Disaster Recovery minimizes downtime and data loss by providing fast, reliable recovery of physical, virtual, and cloud-based servers into AWS. We’ll also share how Malibu Boats used CloudEndure DR to spin up their backend applications in minutes, avoiding production delays and financial losses, when their primary data center suffered a server outage.
