Supporting standardized specifications from SAE, ISO, IEEE, and ETSI, IAV lumits ensures interoperability and safety in connected vehicles, The blog post describes how you can accelerate C-ITS deployment faster and make it more secure.

As organizations embark on their cloud journey, they seek to leverage the over 200 cloud-native services offered by AWS to drive innovation, increase agility, and optimize costs. However, migrating and refactoring existing workloads to take advantage of these services can be complex and time-consuming. Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) on AWS bridges this gap, enabling organizations to seamlessly extend and migrate their on-premises workloads to AWS Cloud without the need for refactoring applications.

Coverage and utilization metrics can be misleading and do not always tell the full story when it comes to managing commitments and measuring their impact. Effective Savings Rate (ESR) is an objective FinOps metric that measures your true ROI. In this blog post, we will discuss challenges with coverage and utilization, why ESR is important, benchmarking insights, and automation with ProsperOps.

Cryptocurrency high-frequency trading firms use AWS to reduce latency to major exchanges. By using the Chronicle Tune product to optimize Amazon EC2 instances, customers have seen improvements in tail latency, ranging from 66% to 95%. Using EC2 Cluster Placement Groups has resulted in a 30%-67% reduction in network round-trip tail latency.

It also analyzes Amazon EC2 Spot pricing data and termination risk to intelligently select the most cost-effective and stable Spot Instances for workloads. nOps automatically manages your Karpenter configurations, updating NodePools based on its cost optimization analysis and recommendations.

Amazon EC2 Mac instances provide Apple hardware to develop for iOS and macOS at scale. Dependencies for building apps require privileged access, normally needing manual user approval. By enrolling EC2 Macs into Mobile Device Management (MDM) with Jamf Pro, administrators can automate remote configuration and software deployment without per-instance interaction. After launching an instance and installing required profiles with Jamf, users should create an AMI to retain the instance state.

Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) allow quick deployment of EC2 instances, but managing multiple customized AMIs is complex. Stratus10’s Image Management Solution automates and streamlines AMI building, testing, and deployment using EC2 Image Builder. It provides consistency, integrates with current processes, reduces costs, and improves security. By eliminating manual processes, engineering teams can focus on innovation while hardened images ensure best practices.
