Role:

Title:
The importance to seed innovation capabilities and operating models

Abstract:
Amazon has a developed a culture and a unique set of mechanisms that are being recognized for its ability to identify and drive pioneering innovations to scale. Starting from the customer and ‘working backward’ is definitely the most impactful process in that context, forcing teams to get the most difficult discussions out of the way early. It starts with the need to fully understand what the product’s value proposition will be and how it will be pitched to customers. Working backwards is not only a core mechanism but also a facilitator that encourages bottom-up innovation.

Title:
Cloud is not a strategy

Abstract:
Simply moving into the cloud is not a strategy. Instead, look at the cloud as a powerful toolset, that – if applied with consideration – can help with quickly and cheaply experimenting to come up with viable new business models. With smart ideas and a little courage more and more companies across all industries dare the step into the digital world, being on a great way to tap into new business fields. With a proper process model and the approach of ‘let’s just try’, every company can put itself into a position to move towards digital transformation.

Title:
Distributed Application Monitoring for Cloud Native Applications

Abstract:
Tracing techniques for visualizing a single request from traditional, to containerized, to Lambda function microservices to understand performance of modern applications. When new technology platforms appear, new application monitoring solutions also emerge to provide visibility. Containerized microservices and Lambda applications are no different – monitoring their performance first requires visibility. Fortunately, new open source standards like OpenTracing and Jaeger have appeared. Learn about distributed tracing using technologies like OpenTracing, Jaeger, X-Ray, and others. Explore code samples that trace transactions from private data centers, to public clouds, through Lambda serverless functions. Understand the value provided by tracing data and visibility gaps that still need to be filled by other solutions.
