Media content, whether it be the latest blockbuster movie or a company's confidential webcasts, can be some of the most important assets for a media business. Storing, preparing, and delivering this content securely involves leveraging systems that can scale and ensure top-of-the-line security. Come find out how AWS can help you implement these workflows in the cloud using highly available, scalable, and secure cloud services such as Amazon S3 (storage), Amazon Elastic Transcoder (transcoding) and Amazon CloudFront (delivery).We also discuss the underlying concepts of secure media delivery (e.g., policy-based DRM and signed URLs), the challenges faced by customers who need to design and implement these critical modules, and how to leverage the power of AWS to accomplish those while saving on costs. In addition, we take a deep dive into a media processing stack implemented on AWS using open source components to deliver encrypted HTTP Live Streams (HLS) to various devices.

milliseconds matter

You can't (yet) bend the law of Physics, but you can use the power of the cloud to design applications that run as fast as the speed of light! This session will focus on the best practices for optimizing performance to the very last millisecond. We'll dive into topics such as caching at every layer of your application, TCP optimizations, SSL optimizations, latency based routing, and much more. These best practices can help you to streamline your infrastructure utilization, improve performance and allow you to scale economically.

Speakers:
Prasad Kalyanaraman - VP, Edge Services (AWS)
John Mancuso -  Solutions Architect (AWS)

 

handling 20x traffic spike

Promotions and product updates can bring a heavy load of traffic to your website all at once. In this session, we cover best practices for being able to handle those traffic spikes easily using Amazon Route 53, Elastic Load Balancing, and Amazon CloudFront. You learn how to configure your site to scale as needed, and how to configure your DNS and CDN settings so that a massive influx in traffic won't keep your site's visitors from having a great experience.

Speakers:
Alex Dunlap – GM, Amazon CloudFront (AWS)
Krzysztof Wiercioch – Infrastructure Engineer Scribblelive

 

building ddos resilient architecture

In this session, we'll give an overview of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) and discuss techniques using AWS and security solutions from AWS Marketplace to help build services that are resilient in the face of DDoS attacks. We'll discuss anti-DDoS features available in AWS, such as Route 53's Anycast Routing, Auto Scaling for EC2, and CloudWatch's alarms, and how these features can be used jointly to help protect your services. Also, you'll hear from CrownPeak, an AWS Technology Partner, on how it used techniques discussed in the presentation to help mitigate an actual DDoS attack.

Speakers:
Andrew Kiggins –Software Dev Manager (AWS)
Adrian Newby – CTO with CrownPeak Technology

 

dynamic-content-acceleration-cloudfront-and-route53

In this session, we introduce you to CloudFront's dynamic delivery features that help improve the performance, scalability, and availability of your website while helping you lower your costs. We talk about architectural patterns such as SSL termination, close proximity connection termination, origin offload with keep-alive connections, and last-mile latency improvement. Also learn how to take advantage of Amazon Route 53's health check, automatic failover, and latency-based routing to build highly available web apps on AWS.
