Welcome!To our guests,

On behalf of the entire Amazon Web Services (AWS) Worldwide Public Sector team, welcome to the 2019 AWS Public Sector Summit in Washington, DC! This year’s conference is going to be our biggest yet with more than 13,000 attendees and 160 knowledge sessions.

To get the most out of the Public Sector Summit, we encourage you to take advantage of the resources outlined in this document. You can start planning your schedule at any time by logging into your account, visiting the session catalog, and marking sessions of interest.

Although the AWS Public Sector Summit DC is a big conference, the strength of the public sector community makes it feel much smaller.

We look forward to seeing you in Washington, DC!

Silent Disco Sessions


Silent Disco Sessions are a new format this year at the DC Summit. In the Ballroom on Level 3, five breakout sessions will be running simultaneously across five different stagesthroughout the main conference days. Unlike regular breakout sessions, the microphones do not project, but rather feed into headphones that line the corresponding seats in front of each session’s stage.

Just like an actual silent disco, you can tune into the speaker by selecting one of the provided headphones. Stages are lit up in different colors, which correspond to the signage, the headphones, and the mobile app. Check out this new format onsite and let us know what you think in the mobile app survey!

However, this data is not always easily accessible and users may not have the compute power necessary to take advantage of these resources through their own on-premises data centers. The recently launched Amazon Sustainability Data Initiative significantly reduces the cost, time, and technical barriers associated with analyzing large datasets to generate sustainability insights.

Challenges to Cloud Adoption Which are not Technical

FEATURED SPEAKER: ElizebethBoudreau – Healthcare Executive Advisor, AWS

Customers often ask us how they can innovate like Amazon. From its humble beginnings as a startup in a garage, Amazon has not only innovated across e-commerce, but also introduced new businesses that, at first glance, don't seem to fit the model. Over the years, Amazon has gotten very good at taking hard problems and finding an easier way. We will describe how we use this mental model and mechanisms to help innovate in the Public Sector with the Cloud Innovation Center (CICs) Program. We discuss how Amazon organizes for innovation with its mechanisms, architecture, culture, and organization.

The Authority to Operate (ATO) on AWS program aims to accelerate clients through compliance. Rather than spending months manually building compliant environments, now cloud automation can build audit-ready environments in hours. When compliance is automated, it becomes easy; however, codifying an environment is a profound change for many organizations. Existing tools, techniques, and technologies do not directly translate to the cloud. In this session, we’ll discuss the vision of the ATO on AWS program and demonstrate how compliance can be automated.

In this session you will learn best practices for customers migrating Microsoft workloads to AWS. We will discuss Active Directory, Sharepoint & application migrations running on the windows server, and the impending End of Support of 2008 r2 and how AWS can help. Additionally, you will learn how AWS can help reduce costs by reusing licensing, incorporating Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS), Amazon FSx, AWS License Manager, and AWS Systems Manager to help you manage those workloads. We will also demo a server migration using AWS Server Migration Service (SMS).

With Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) on VMware, you can use the same, simple interface to manage databases in on-premises VMware environments as you would use in AWS. You can easily replicate Amazon RDS on VMware databases to Amazon RDS instances in AWS, enabling low-cost hybrid deployments for disaster recovery, read replica bursting, and optional long-term backup retention in Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3). Amazon RDS on VMware is in preview and will be generally available soon, supporting Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDBdatabases.
