After migrating a thousand enterprises to AWS, we’ve learned a one-size-fits-all migration approach does not meet all workload needs. Specialized workloads that are mission critical to your business, such as SAP and databases, require migration expertise and a customized plan. But how to do that at-scale, without undue complexity for customers?

AWS helps leading industrial customers transform their business with the broadest set of cloud services and solutions, and an extensive partner network, while taking advantage of the highest standards for privacy and data security. Today Simon is joined by Kartik Dalal and Brant Swidler to learn more about how Amazon Monitron and Amazon Lookout for Equipment can help you solve challenging industrial problems using Machine Learning.

Today Simon is joined by Laura Thomson, Senior Product Manager at AWS, to talk about the newly announced Fault Injection Simulator (FIS) which offers a fully managed chaos engineering solution. They'll dive into what chaos engineering really means, how it can help make your applications more resilient, and how FIS can assist your team in taking advantage of the process. https://aws.amazon.com/fis/

AWS CloudShell is a browser-based shell that makes it easy to securely interact with your AWS resources. CloudShell is pre-authenticated with your console credentials and common development and operations tools are pre-installed, so no local installation or configuration is required. Today Simon is joined by Jonathan Weiss, a Senior Manager of Software Development at AWS, to learn all about this recently launched service. Simon and Jonathan will explore the benefits of CloudShell, why AWS built the the service, who it’s for, and the top use cases that CloudShell helps to facilitate. https://aws.amazon.com/cloudshell/

Software as a Service (SaaS) is more than movement, its a lifestyle. Simon is joined by Adrian De Luca, Head of Partner Solutions Architecture at AWS to discuss the organizational cultural shift, dives into building with SaaS architectural principles and walks through new announcements at re:Invent including AWS SaaS Boost and Well Architected SaaS Lens. Erik Peterson, Founder & CTO at Cloud Zero also joins the conversation providing insight into how in the cloud, engineering decisions are also buying decisions, exploring the importance of cost per tenant visibility. * AWS SaaS Boost Preview - https://aws.amazon.com/partners/saas-boost/ * AWS SaaS Boost Blog - https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/apn/transforming-your-monolith-to-saas-with-aws-saas-boost/ * AWS SaaS Factory Insights Hub - https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/apn/aws-saas-factory-insights-hub-provides-saas-thought-leadership-and-guidance/ * AWS Well Architected SaaS Lens - https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/apn/aws-well-architected-saas-lens-helps-customers-transform-to-software-as-a-service-model/
