While Amazon Web Services (AWS), the market-leading public cloud from Amazon.com was the headline act at last week’s AWS Summit, the expo floor was crammed with a surprising number of AWS partners for a one-day conference.
The common theme: cloud has matured. It’s on every enterprise IT roadmap. The challenges now are more tactical: how cloud can support devops and big data initiatives. How to manage and secure cloud environments, especially hybrid ones. How to migrate enterprise workloads to the cloud.
Here are the highlights from the floor.
DevOps
Chef Software is now offering its software via the AWS Marketplace. AWS for their part mentioned Chef frequently throughout the summit, no doubt for their ability to migrate workloads into AWS without losing the code for automating lower level services.
Software AG is “all in” with AWS, putting together cloud versions of many of its core products, including ARIS business process tools and Alfabet enterprise architecture management, as well as the webMethods Integration Cloud – Software AG’s integration Platform-as-a-Service (iPaaS). One highlight is webMethods AgileApps Cloud (formerly AgileApps Live), a PaaS offering for building and deploying process-driven application solutions.
Management and Monitoring
AppDynamics now offers the same performance monitoring, management, automated processes, and analytics for applications running on AWS that are available for applications running on-premises. Out of the gate, AppDynamics supports Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS), Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon DynamoDB.
