Shadowing Practice: SAP Concur migrates over 85,000 SQL Server databases to Amazon Web Services | Amazon Web Services - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creando lección...
1
My name is André Lamego and I'm the CTO of SAP Concur.
2
SAP Concur is an integrated travel and expense solution.
3
So we have four main objectives for our business.
4
We wanted to not have to worry about those physical infrastructure.
5
We wanted to optimize our resources to focus on innovation.
6
The third is we wanted to expand.
7
The fourth one is of course our cost concern.
8
With all of those requirements combined, we got the goal of migrating to AWS.
9
We use a variety of AWS services.
10
For example, we use EKS for a container management,
11
we use autoscaling, and we also use Amazon Bedrock for our generative AI workloads.
12
With migration of 85,000 SQL Server databases, licensing was obviously a concern.
13
We opted to use Bring Your Own License.
14
There is also an AWS program called Optimization License Assessment
15
that helps realizing what is the best opportunity for cost reduction while executing our database workloads.
16
The fact that we transitioned out of our co-locations into AWS allowed us to focus more on features.
17
Our customers benefit from our transition to AWS because all our efforts are now towards serving the customer.
18
We have a projection of cost reduction of about 70% from the point that we started our migration efforts.
19
The fact that our integration environment and our production environment look the same
20
and operate the same allows us to more efficiently test and deliver services and features with confidence.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
