AWS re:Invent 2023 - How to scale at speed on AWS while addressing security and compliance (GBL205)

Summary

The session focused on scaling businesses on AWS while maintaining security and compliance.
Speakers included Yang Seungdo from AWS Korea, Jang Rip CTO of KakaoPay Securities, and Kim Youngsang CTO of G-Bike.
The importance of innovation and transformation in accelerating business performance was emphasized.
A survey showed that while 84% of executives believe innovation is crucial for business strategy, only 6% are satisfied with their innovation outcomes.
KakaoPay Securities shared their journey of scaling services on AWS, improving customer experience, and achieving cost efficiency by migrating to Graviton processors.
G-Bike discussed their challenges with security systems and battery replacement optimization, and how they collaborated with AWS Professional Services and ProServe SA teams to address these issues.
The session concluded with a promise from AWS to support customers in their missions and an invitation to attend more AWS re:Invent sessions.

The discrepancy between the perceived importance of innovation and the satisfaction with innovation outcomes suggests a gap in effective execution.
KakaoPay Securities' successful use of AWS services like auto-scaling, code deploy, and elastic cache demonstrates the potential for AWS to support rapid scaling and operational efficiency.
The migration to Graviton processors not only reduced costs by 20% but also improved performance by 30% and halved carbon emissions, highlighting the environmental benefits of cloud optimization.
G-Bike's proactive approach to security and optimization, despite limited resources, showcases the value of AWS Professional Services in helping startups tackle complex challenges.
The session highlighted the ongoing need for businesses to balance rapid growth with security, compliance, and cost efficiency, and how AWS can be a strategic partner in this endeavor.
The commitment from AWS to provide support and resources, as evidenced by the allocation of breakout sessions and lightning talks for Korean customers, reflects the company's focus on customer-centricity and global outreach.
