As we closely monitor the impact of COVID-19 across the world, we have been evaluating how best to support and enable APN Partners in this unprecedented situation. We have made the decision to allow APN Partners to maintain their 2019 APN Tier status throughout 2020. Enhanced tier requirements came into effect in 2020. By extending APN Tier status through 2020, we are enabling APN Partners to focus on supporting their customers rather than meeting program requirements during this difficult time.

The average cost of fixing bugs in an embedded device’s first year of service alone can run in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Percepio DevAlert works with AWS IoT Core to alert developers when an error is first detected, and provides visual trace diagnostics to identify the root cause. Percepio is an APN Advanced Technology Partner specializing in visual trace diagnostics for embedded and IoT device software developers. 

Amazon re:MARS 2020 is our second annual artificial intelligence event, covering a diverse array of topics and themes related to machine learning, automation, robotics, and space (MARS). The event brings together innovative minds to share new ideas across these rapidly advancing domains. APN Partner are invited to join us as a sponsor at Amazon re:MARS and gain access to decision makers who are starting or accelerating MARS tech initiatives.

Kubernetes provides development teams with the tools and capabilities they need to deliver real customer value in far shorter time than more traditional architectures. Operating Kubernetes environments at scale, however, becomes more complex and requires special focus on monitoring for performance and health. Explore the challenges of monitoring Kubernetes environments at scale, and learn how to implement monitoring with the New Relic Cluster Explorer that’s included with the Kubernetes integration.

The adoption of service mesh has been accelerated by the emergence of microservices. Companies leverage orchestration tools for deploying services, and then use a service mesh to manage the connections between them. These solutions provide important capabilities, such as traffic management and load balancing. Learn how HashiCorp Consul and AWS Certificate Manager Private CA automate certificate management, perform signing operations, and rotate private certificates.

Building scalable, resilient, and secure metrics and logging pipelines with the ELK Stack and Grafana requires engineering time and expertise. The Logz.io Cloud Observability Platform delivers both as a fully-managed service so engineers can use the open source monitoring tools they know on a single solution, without the hassle of maintaining them at scale. Logz.io provides advanced analytics to make the ELK Stack and Grafana faster, more integrated, and easier to use.

Analyzing large datasets can be challenging, especially if you aren’t thinking about certain characteristics of the data and what you’re ultimately looking to achieve. There are a number of factors organizations need to consider in order to build systems that are flexible, affordable, and fast. Here, experts from CloudZero walk through how to use AWS services to analyze customer billing data and provide value to end users.

Deep learning is inspired by the human brain and once a brain learns to identify an object, its identification becomes second nature. Similarly, as Deep Instinct’s artificial neural network learns to detect more and more types of cyber threats, its prediction capabilities become instinctive. As a result, malware both known and new can be predicted and prevented in zero-time. Deep Instinct’s predictive threat prevention platform can be applied against known or unknown threats, whether it be a file or fileless attack.

AWS will once again be an exhibitor at retail’s largest global trade show—NRF 2020: Retail’s Big Show from Jan. 12-14 at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City. The NRF Big Show attracts nearly 40,000 attendees from all over the world, as well as major technology vendors and partners. AWS is one of NRF’s Chairman’s Circle Sponsors, and we are excited to help other retailers transform their businesses by sharing experiences from Amazon’s own tested, proven innovations.
