Strong adherence to architecture best practices and proactive controls are the foundations of data security. Amazon S3 provides security settings and granular access controls to suit any workload.

At AWS, we’ve learned that building resilient services requires more than just designing for high availability. In this session AWS operational leaders are back for more insights on how to mitigate impact when, not if, the unexpected happens.

Seventeen years of operating on AWS has taught us a thing or two (or five) on how to build in mitigations for the kinds of things that can go wrong with services, particularly at scale.

Strong adherence to architecture best practices and proactive controls are the foundations of data security. Amazon S3 provides security settings and granular access controls to suit virtually any workload.

As you build a data lake or shared datasets on Amazon S3, managing access is essential. You need strong guardrails that protect your data from outside access at scale.

In this session, learn how to use your network perimeter as a straightforward defensive perimeter around your data in the cloud. VPC endpoints were first introduced for Amazon S3 in 2015 and have since incorporated many improvements, enhancements, and expansions.

As you build a data lake on Amazon S3, managing security and access is essential. You require granular access control for your data with strong controls around authentication, authorization, encryption, and auditing.

The number, range, and breadth of AWS services are large, but the set of techniques that you need to secure them is not. Your journey as a builder in the cloud starts with this session, in which practical examples help you quickly get up to speed on the fundamentals of becoming authenticated and authorized in the cloud, as well as on securing your resources and data correctly.

Security in the cloud is your highest priority, but sometimes it can be difficult to boil the vast ocean of security capabilities in the cloud down to actionable steps. This session is all tactics.

The number, range, and breadth of AWS services are large, but the set of techniques that you, as a builder in the cloud, will use to secure them is not. Your cloud journey starts with this breakout session, in which we get you up to speed quickly on the practical fundamentals to do identity and authorization right in AWS.

AWS global infrastructure provides the tools customers need to design resilient and reliable services. In this session, we explore how to get the most out of these tools.

The services that make up AWS are many and varied, but the set of concepts you need to secure your data and infrastructure is simple and straightforward. By the end of this session, you know the fundamental patterns that you can apply to secure any workload you run in AWS with confidence.

The Amazon Builders’ Library is a collection of living articles that are written by Amazon senior technical leaders and engineers and that describe how Amazon develops, architects, releases, and operates technology. In this session, five principal engineers share hard-learned lessons from their experiences building reliable services at Amazon.
