1. AWS Summit - New York Recap Presented by Patrick Hannah VP of Engineering, CloudHesive

2. Introduction
Who am I?
What’s my background?

3. What are the AWS summits?
Commonality with Re:Invent - think mini Re:Invents
Held across the US and the World
General Admission is Free!
Partner & Solutions Expo (Swag!)
Hands-on Labs
Breakout Sessions/Live Demos/Lightning Talks
Certification/Networking Reception
After Party
Three formats
Summits
Generally two days
First day is (paid for) training + Gameday
New York was the only Keynote given by Dr. Vogels (CTO), likely the most new feature announcements ahead of Re:Invent
Executive Summits
Generally one day
Geared towards technology executives
Washington, DC Summit
Public Sector Focus

13. No matter the solution…
HERD NOT CATTLE!

14. New Services and Features
Amazon Kinesis Analytics Now Generally Available
New Application Load Balancer
Bring Your Own Keys to AWS Key Management Service
Snowball – Job Management API and S3 Adapter
Amazon API Gateway Now Supports API Usage Plans
47% Price Drop on EBS Snapshots and Up to 66% More IOPS Per Volume
IPv6 Support for Amazon S3
ECS Supports Dynamic Ports
All features currently available in commercial regions. Some also in GovCloud and China
Kinesis Analytics – Ingest Kinesis, Query, Filter, Transform, Summarize using SQL syntax and Output to S3, Redshift, ElasticSearch or Kinesis with Tumbling, Sliding and Custom Windows (with built in schema detection
Application Load Balancing – Adds support for WebSockets, HTTP/2, and URI based routing, support for ECS (multiple containers, different ports, etc.), per-port health checks and additional CloudWatch metrics. Provisioned separately from ELB (but a migration tool is available), cheaper per ELB cost, but adds a per target cost, theory is that overall load balancing costs will decrease. Integrates with AutoScaling, ECS, CloudFormation, CodeDeploy and ACM
KMS – Import Keys generated outside of KMS to satisfy requirements around randomness, key lifecycle management, backup of keys outside of AWS and expiration of keys
Snowball – Job Management API and S3 Adapter (local S3 emulation on Snowball, an example may be an application designed for use on S3 that requires local seeding or backup solution like CommVault
API Gateway – Throttling, Quota (with extensions) granular access controls and exporting of usage data
EBS Volumes – Snapshot price reduction and higher ratio of PIOPS to GB. Also looks like magnetic is considered previous generation. Reduction will be retroactive to August 1st, 2016
S3 – IPv6 support by including dualstack in the URL or enabledualstack in the CLI, SDK being updated for the same. No support for Website hosting, S3 transfer accelerator and BitTorrent. Keep in mind if you use IP restrictive policies or custom log analysis these need to be updated and that end to end IPv6 connectivity may not be available.
ECS – integration with ALB, Tasks now get IAM roles (rather than ECS instances) and individual tasks can be autoscaled

22. Florida Meetups http://www.meetup.com/aws-user-group-miami/
CloudHesive sponsors 6 Meetups in Florida; 5 in the South Florida-Tri-County Area and one in North Florida
We are always looking for ideas on topics, as well as attendees and speakers
