    Seminar Details

    Since 2006, Amazon Web Services have been providing on demand, pay-as-you-go infrastructure services to businesses of all sizes.

    In this hands-on workshop, we will introduce the Cloud platform offered by Amazon, and with live examples, show how organisations can make use of Amazon's massive scale and operational experience to build highly scalable businesses and move to market more quickly.

    In this live session, we'll aim to demonstrate:

    + Getting started with Amazon Web Services
    + Scalable storage
    + Rapid content distribution
    + On-demand elastic compute capacity
    + Monitoring, auto-scaling and load balancing
    + Cloud security
    + Best practices and cloud architecture

    Audience members are encouraged to follow along: although no previous knowledge of the cloud is necessary, by using real world examples, and illustrating best practices, we hope everyone (from novice to experience architect) will find something useful in this session.
