1 Cloud 101: AWS Overview for Education
Mike Kuentz – AWS Senior Solutions Architect First, thank you for having us in today. Second, How many people are using AWS? Third, I want to ask what questions do people have that you want to make sure are addressed today?

2 What is the Cloud? The on-demand delivery of IT resources over public or private networks with zero up-front costs, no long-term contracts, and pay-as-you-go pricing

3 3,400+ educational institutions
7,000+ Education Customers

4 Including the Cyber Range!

5 Typical Cloud Deployment Methods for Education
SaaS Applications Cloud Infrastructure

6 Common Use Cases for Education
Disaster Recovery Dev & Test Storage Big Data Enterprise Apps

7 How AWS Helps Transform Education
Time to Results Access infrastructure in minutes Low Cost Pay-as-you-go pricing Elastic Easily add or remove capacity Globally Accessible Easily Collaborate with Users around the world Secure Meet student information security requirements Scalable Access to effectively limitless capacity

8 Focus on Your Core Mission
Lower the time spent on infrastructure Concentrate on new learning initiatives Dedicate more resources to innovation

9 Myth #1: The cloud isn’t secure.

10 Strengthen your security posture
“Based on our experience, I believe that we can be even more secure in the AWS cloud than in our own datacenters.” Tom Soderstrom, CTO, NASA JPL Leverage security enhancements from 1M+ customer experiences Benefit from AWS industry leading security teams 24/7, 365 days a year Security infrastructure built to satisfy military, global banks, and other high-sensitivity organizations Over 50 global compliance certifications and accreditations Infrastructure security can be one of the most complex elements of your operation, because the high degree of interconnected systems across a wide range of hardware vendors makes it difficult to have good visibility into what’s going on and what new threats may have been recently identified in the wild. But, with AWS, we operate together under a Shared Responsibility Model that makes us responsible from the hypervisor down, and you for the operating system up, which puts our respective attention on what we know best. The AWS infrastructure is custom-built for the cloud, with all element designed to intercommunicate well and present the smallest attack surface possible. In addition, the physical security controls present in our data centers has been designed to be the most stringent in the world. This pursuit has led to AWS being trusted by governments, military organizations, global banks, healthcare institutions, and other high-sensitivity organizations. Finally, our security team is monitoring the infrastructure all-day, every-day, and is well-connected with all major security watchdog groups and vendors to ensure that potential threats are identified immediately. And, they are doing this at massive scale, which is something that sets the AWS security organization apart. By looking across more than 1 million active accounts each month running virtually every conceivable type of workload, we can see issues that may only occur once in a billion operations multiple times a day. When we remediate the issue, we do so for the entire platform. That kind of visibility and response simply isn’t achievable for the vast majority of organizations. ----- CAPITAL ONE: Capital One is using AWS to reduce its data centers from eight to three by Capital One is one of the nation’s largest banks and offers credit cards, checking and savings accounts, auto loans, rewards, and online banking services for consumers and businesses. The bank is using or experimenting with nearly every AWS service to develop, test, build, and run its most critical workloads, including its new flagship mobile-banking application. Rob Alexander, Capital One's chief information officer, says, "The financial service industry attracts some of the worst cyber criminals. We work closely with AWS to develop a security model, which we believe enables us to operate more securely in the public cloud than we can in our own data centers." Capital One selected AWS for its security model and for the ability to provision infrastructure on the fly, the elasticity to handle purchasing demands at peak times, its high availability, and its pace of innovation. [

11 Architected for Security Requirements
Specifically call out NIST webinar that was done previously and work that we are doing. Previous workshop run by Purdue and Notre Dame to achieve this. To ensure we’re as secure as possible and to meet the needs of the most security-sensitive organizations, not only do we rely on our own internal audits, but we rely on proven industry standard audits as well. AWS computing environments are continuously audited, with certifications from accreditation bodies across geographies and verticals, including ISO 27001, FedRAMP, DoD CSM, and PCI DSS. In addition, the flexibility and control that the AWS platform provides allows customers to deploy solutions that meet several industry-specific standards, including: Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) Cloud security at AWS is the highest priority. As an AWS customer, you will benefit from a data center and network architecture built to meet the requirements of the most security-sensitive organizations. Additional Notes: ISO issues SOC 1,2,3 FedRAMP issues Provisional ATO at Moderate Impact Level. GovCloud has a pATO at High Level and is an ITAR compliant region. Destroying disks: We comply with DoD standards for destroying media. And many more…

14 The cloud is more expensive.
Myth #2: The cloud is more expensive.

15 On-premises Cost Drivers are Hidden
Labor – How much do you spend on maintaining your environment? Network – How much bandwidth do you need? Network gear? Capacity – What is the cost of over-provisioning for peak capacity? Availability / Power – Do you have a DR facility? Cost of power? Server – What is the cost of over-provisioning? Average utilization? Space – Will you run out of data center space? When is your lease up?

16 University of Notre Dame Saves +$1M on AWS
Cloud first strategy & implementation 40% cost savings in annual IT operations $1M+ savings in data backups Easily scale IT infrastructure to needs App Scaling = Villanova DR = ND, and emergency notification (live safe?) Reduce time to Res = clusters for faculty Mission critical = PPSFT, Banner, Bb, Instructure, D2L, Echo360, Hobsons Managed Desktops Big Data

17 I lose control of my applications with the cloud.
Myth #3: I lose control of my applications with the cloud.

18 Villanova University “Performance and uptime have improved and we haven’t had any noticeable downtime since 2012.” -Gabe Monteleone AVP They moved their website to AWS using a partner and still have full access and control over the site, plus the added benefits of scalability when needed. When the team won the NCAA National Championship for basketball last year, website activity spiked +20,000% from 1K to 225K site requests during NCAA Final Four in Their site was ready and had no problem meeting the demands placed on it. When you move the cloud: Nothing changes, your applications and how you access them remain the same whether the app was on prem or in cloud. No longer worry about infrastructure but access data exact same as you do today Data doesn’t move anyway, stays in region. This means your information stays where you specify unless you ask for it to be moved elsewhere. For example, if you have a global presence and you’d like information closer to the user. But that’s based on your choice – your school maintains control.

19 The cloud doesn’t impact the learning experience.
Myth #4: The cloud doesn’t impact the learning experience.

20 Implemented cloud-based desktop in distance “classroom”
Access applications anywhere Works with Mac, PC, and other devices System is one-click away integrated into the classroom. System is reliable Access carries across a student’s entire program

21 Carlsbad Unified School District
“We’ve made rapid progress towards this goal in recent years, migrating old on-premises services to the cloud, strengthening our internal network infrastructure, and working with outside entities to ensure students have internet access at home” -Joseph Hartman Director of Assessment and Technology, Carlsbad Unified School District. Describe AppStream and impact

22 Cornell University “We can rethink how we teach with Amazon WorkSpaces. We can offer more to students – more interesting class content and more interactivity – without adding complexity for instructors. The sky is the limit.” - Jeff Christen Instructor That leads me to the teaching experience. How does the cloud change it when you use it in the classroom. At Cornell University, one professor in a Business Intelligence class designed and built a course completely using WorkSpaces in LESS THAN THREE WEEKS. He brought in key applications like Oracle SQL developer, Tableau and more. Jeff told us this allows him to “rethink” how he can teach because he is no longer limited to lecture or scheduling time in the computer lab across campus with a student to walk through a problem. His students were tasked with solving real like data challenges on campus, like creating KPIs for data coming from the dining halls which is a $50M business at Cornell. His students gained real world experience they use when they leave Cornell. That’s the power of the cloud in the classroom. Courtesy of Cornell University.

23 analysis kit we run every
Ivy Tech Community College We have an analysis kit we run every day, looking at data, comparing patterns with years of data, and in a matter of seconds we can tell if a student is likely to succeed or fail. The results have been phenomenal. - Lige Hensley CTO ITCC 1 million pieces of data analyzed every day Focus is on using data for interventions Most “traditional factors” (i.e. previous grades) have no predicative effect on future performance (i.e., future grades). Rather they are looking at other data points. AWS has 3 staff and their AWS bill is around $10k/month. Make sure you data and services do not store data inside a walled garden. ITCC model around

24 ITCC: How They Achieved Success
LMS Student Success Rates SIS Faculty Assessment HR Fraud Detection Amazon Redshift > 1M rows data/day The use of curated data sets allows organizations to finally move away from “Predefined Reporting” and empower their users with Free-Form Visual Exploration Predicting Student Success Identify behaviors of successful and unsuccessful students. Quickly determine which path a student is on. We can now predict, with over 80% accuracy, which students are likely to fail a course within the first two weeks of class. They implemented call down efforts for 16K students We don’t build models, we built a system that builds models.

25 Using Data for Retention Efforts
Initiated in the fall of 2016, Ivy Tech made 23,016 calls to over 16,417 students predicted to fail in their courses in order to check-in and offer targeted advice and assistance to students. At mid-term: A 3.3 percentage point drop in the number of D & F grades recorded for students statewide But what did they do with the information? They know who is at risk, and they have the model. Implemented a phone call system to over 16K students who were at risk to offer targeted assistance. This is what you can do with the AWS Cloud and data. Ivy Tech is no longer focusing on gathering or processing data. They are able to apply resources to what matters – helping students get through college. By doing so, they have seen a 3.3% drop in D & F grades – the biggest they’ve ever recorded

Virginia (6), Ohio (3) Frankfurt (3), Ireland (3), London (3), Paris (3) US West Oregon (3) Northern California (3) Asia Pacific Mumbai (2), Seoul (2), AWS GovCloud Singapore (3), (US-West) (2) Sydney (3), Tokyo (4) Osaka-Local (1) Canada China Central (2) Beijing (2), Ningxia (3) South America São Paulo (3) Announced Regions Bahrain, Hong Kong, Sweden, and a second AWS GovCloud Region in the US. Deploy faster wherever you like 18 Regions – 55 Availability Zones – 100+ Edge Locations

28 Sample Availability Zone
Zoom In: AWS Region Zoom In: AWS AZ Sample Availability Zone Sample US Region Datacenter Datacenter Availability Zone A Availability Zone B Datacenter Availability Zone C This gives you more detail about our region structure…. Independent/Separate Geographic Areas Isolated from other Regions (security boundary) 50 mile radius “clustered” data center architecture Comprised of multiple Availability Zones Customer chooses Region. Data stays within Region. Enables High-Availability Architecture Again, what is really unique about the cloud, is the ease with which you can spread workloads across AZs and create highly available workloads. AZ: Multiple Isolated locations within a Region Availability Zone = 1 or more “data center” Independent Failure Zone Physically separated On separate Low Risk Flood Plains Discrete UPS Onsite backup generation facilities Fed from different segments of utility provider Redundantly connected to multiple tier-1 ISP’s Built for Continuous Availability Customer decides Availability Zone for Compute Azs are independent from one another – conceptually these are like data centers that are physically separated. (highlight certain bullets from list) Azs are connected by multiple high speed, low latency links which allow your instances to operate as though they were in the same location. For example, when something happens to one AZ – another AZ can pick that up and maintain redundancy/availability that would have been very costly in a traditional model.

29 Idaho State University
“We took a big leap forward for us in redundancy and disaster recovery. A water leak in the data center could have brought us to our knees. We were taking a gamble. We have made a quantum leap forward.” - Blake Beck Director Idaho State University (ISU) reached a decision point where they needed to refresh their hardware locally or look to the cloud as an alternative solution to host their LMS. They had been hosting Moodle, an open-source learning platform, on premises for ten years. After exploring the available options, they made the decision to migrate Moodle to the AWS Cloud.  The system supports 13,000 unique student users at ISU. Ninety-six percent of the University’s courses utilize Moodle for assignments, testing, and course materials – making the system mission critical and vulnerable if not properly backed up. By bringing their campus onto the cloud, ISU was able to reduce IT support costs and free staff from technical work, while still providing the services their students need to be successful.

30 VMware Cloud™ on AWS AWS is a renowned datacenter operator. It knows how to operate at scale and has a global reach. Couple that with VMware and you can start to build scalable cloud solutions anywhere in the world with your current skillset and your current tool-set.

31 The cloud and cloud skills are not relevant for everybody.
Myth #6: The cloud and cloud skills are not relevant for everybody.

32 How many people in here use hour of code!
Regardless of age or future career path, there are jobs in technology and cloud in all careers and industries. This is a photo taken by some of my co-workers at last year’s Hour of Code in December. Code.org uses AWS to power the one of the largest learning events in history. More than 100 MILLION students participate across 180 countries. Nearly 50% of those students are under represented minorities and 45% are female. If that’s not amazing enough, by using the AWS cloud, Code.org saves over $2.2M annually in capital expenditure so students and teachers globally have the chance to try out coding. Fast forward a few years to college. It’s been reported recently that an AWS Certified Solutions Architect Entry level salary starts at $125K, according to Forbes. There aren’t nearly enough comp sci students going into these majors. That’s why we developed a program called AWS Educate.

33 new Teaching Tomorrow's Cloud Workforce Today At AWS we are also working to get students connected – and for us, that means teaching tomorrow’s cloud workforce today through our AWS Educate Program. EXPLAIN EDUCATE BRIEFLY (second slide has new features) AWS Educate offers several new features: Cloud career pathways AWS Educate Job Board with entry-level cloud jobs from global employers New digital credentials for students Available in the UK, Canada, the U.S., Singapore, Japan, South Korea, China, and India, MORE SOON!

34 Carnegie Mellon University
“My students report a “double effect…” their experience enabled by AWS Educate helps them be competitive and career-ready…” Dr. Majd Sakr Teaching Professor He goes on to say this is “...enhancing their chance of success. When they interview for jobs, their experience with real-world datasets and projects makes them very competitive. And because they have used the cloud in class, their skills are transferable to the workplace, making them productive on day one.” © Carnegie Mellon University.

35 AWS Cloud Credits for Research
The AWS Cloud Credits for Research program supports researchers who seek to: Build cloud-hosted publicly available science-as-a-service applications, software, or tools to facilitate their future research and the research of their community. Perform proof of concept or benchmark tests evaluating the efficacy of moving research workloads or open data sets to the cloud. Train a broader community on the usage of cloud for research workloads via workshops or tutorials.
