Best practices for optimizing cost and performance of your Microsoft Workloads on AWS
Why is it important to optimize costs? TCO has two main components: infrastructure cost and software licenses cost. The usual optimization scenario is when a customer wants to find compute, storage and licensing configuration that reaches the desired performance level at minimum cost. When you run SQL Server workloads, licensing makes up the majority of the TCO, so this is where you want to optimize. In this session we are going to cover basics of Microsoft licensing on AWS and best practices for compute and licensing optimization of SQL Server workloads on AWS. And finally we will discuss how AWS Optimization and Licensing Assessment (AWS OLA) can help you to see potential cost savings when migrating your Windows Workloads to AWS.

EXPLORING FINOPS KPIS TO MEASURE THE TRUE VALUE OF THE CLOUD
Michel Zitman (Cloud Financial Management Practice Lead at Oblivion) shares his best practices on how to build efficient FinOps KPIs and demonstrates the importance they have on your FinOps Governance. Cloud cost management appears to be a challenging subject in the majority of organizations. From our experience we have concluded that 35% of cloud spend is actually wasted as a result of over-provisioned resources alone. And given the fact that, on a global scale, we are only at the beginning of cloud adoption, it’s time for action.

Networks! project - real-time analytics that controls 50% of mobile network in Poland
The ability to analyze data in real time for mobile network is crucial for diagnostics and ensuring the quality of the service for end customers. To achieve this we have built a real-time ingestion and analytics platform that processes 2.2 billions messages a day from mobile networks hardware. During the talk we will show how we used Flink and Flink SQL to build this platform. The solution includes calculation of more than 5000 KPIs and 1500 aggregation defined in SQL, on 750 Kafka topics. We will describe how we manage Flink jobs at scale using Ververica and Kubernetes, how we monitor the platform using Clickhouse and what problems we need to overcome in the project.

Speed up web and mobile development with AWS Amplify
AWS can be a daunting idea for even the most experienced developers, however, with the whole world moving towards cloud, it has become a necessity for almost every project. The need for an approachable solution to building applications on the cloud is what AWS Amplify has set out to solve. AWS Amplify is a collections of tools and services that are built to simplify and speed up the development process on the cloud.
We discuss the “What”, “Why” and “How” of AWS Amplify, looking from a broad overview into what it is, a story of how AWS Amplify was used to build a production grade application at one of Xebia’s clients and a technical overview from a Senior Developer Advocate at AWS on the true power of AWS Amplify.

Scaling your business into China
Name the first three cloud providers you can think of! Chances are you came up with one or more cloud providers from the US (AWS, Google, Azure to name a few). And can you name four Chinese cloud providers? If you can, you are already well ahead of the competition, as most companies don’t often look to China for anything cloud-related. And even though Chinese cloud providers are still considered niche players in many areas, if you are looking to scale your business in China, working with a local provider can really make a difference. Before you get to releasing software though, there are many other things to consider and tackle. In this session, Léon will introduce you to the Chinese cloud, answer all your questions about the challenges you face when scaling into China and propose a simple battle plan to face these challenges head on.
