Enhancing Availability and Amazon EC2 Spot Utilization of Databricks Workloads on AWS

Databricks fleet instances were developed for large Databricks workloads on AWS to improve cluster provisioning process, increase Amazon EC2 Spot utilization, and drive overall cost optimization. Learn how customers can launch clusters using Spot instances using diversified node types. This increases a cluster’s chances of getting EC2 Spot instances which in turn further reduces costs. Maximizing availability and EC2 Spot utilization is key to running cost-optimized Databricks workloads on AWS.

Filter and Stream Logs from Amazon S3 Logging Buckets into Splunk Using AWS Lambda

This post showcases a way to filter and stream logs from centralized Amazon S3 logging buckets to Splunk using a push mechanism leveraging AWS Lambda. The push mechanism offers benefits such as lower operational overhead, lower costs, and automated scaling. We’ll provide instructions and a sample Lambda code that filters virtual private cloud (VPC) flow logs with “action” flag set to “REJECT” and pushes it to Splunk via a Splunk HTTP Event Collector (HEC) endpoint.
