Cloud Native Architectures at AWS

Technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data, IoT etc. have given rise to innovative ways of doing business thus leaving the old business practices ineffective. Enterprises who have been functioning in their respective domains for years are now facing an urgent need to pivot their traditional business process to suit the needs of the modern consumer. Digital transformation is the way these organizations make this change and the cloud is the foundational enabler of digital transformation projects and offers the scale and speed that is needed for businesses to focus on transformation. We are reaching the tipping point, where every company starts migrating its workloads into the cloud. With this migration comes the realization that systems must be re-architected to fully unlock the potential of the cloud. In this talk, we will journey into the world of cloud-native to discover the patterns and best practices that embody this new architecture and how Amazon value added services empower everyday teams to build massive scale systems.

2. • Why do we care? • Try to find a definition • Benefits • Trade-offs • AWS Tools Agenda
3. Software is eating the world (Marc Andreessen, 2011)
4. Apps demand speed, innovation, quality & amazing experience
5. Moving to Cloud • Reduce Operation Costs. • Move Faster • Handle scale, resiliency and security better than doing it yourself (quality)
6. Reactive Manifesto https://www.reactivemanifesto.org/
7. What is Cloud Native ? • Containerized • Dynamically orchestrated • Microservices oriented https://www.cncf.io/about/faq/
8. What is Cloud Native ? https://pivotal.io/cloud-native
9. Continuous Delivery Benefits • Deliver software with fewer bugs and lower risk • Release new features to market more frequently • Respond to marketing conditions more quickly • Life is saner for everyone
10. DevOps Benefits • Faster resolution of problems • More stable operating environments • Higher customer satisfaction • Improved communication and collaboration • Improved code quality
11. Microservices Benefits • Resilient / Flexible • Independently scalable • Freedom to choose technology • Fast time to market - opens innovation opportunities • Enables continuous delivery
12. Container Benefits • Isolation • Portability • Rapid Deployment • Lightweight footprint and minimal overhead
13. What else? • Embraces disposable infrastructure/architecture • Leverages value-added cloud services • Scales globally
14. How should a cloud native application look like?
15. Distributed computing is hard • Latency • Timeouts • Retries • Backward / Forward compatibility • Orchestration • Understand CAP Theorem • Transaction management The network is reliable Latency is zero Bandwidth is infinite The network is secure Topology doesn’t change There is one administrator Transport cost is zero The network is homogenous 8 Fallacies of Distributed Computing
16. Bulkheads
17. Circuit Breakers
22. Event Driven Architectures / Eventual Consistency
23. Event Sourcing & CQRS • Distribution • Availability • Integration • Analytics
24. Microservice Premium
