Cisco Meraki customers commonly question how they can extend their SD-WAN environment into an existing Amazon Web Services (AWS) footprint. They desire high availability and a way to automate reachability from their cloud resources down to their local branches. This post explores how Cisco Meraki customers can use an AWS Quick Start to help automate the highly available deployment of Meraki vMXs in multiple AWS Regions along with route propagation.

Deploying machine learning (ML) models as a packaged container with hardware-optimized acceleration, without compromising accuracy and while being financially feasible, can be challenging. As machine learning models become the brains of modern applications, developers need a simpler way to deploy trained ML models to live endpoints for inference. This post explores how a ML engineer can take a trained model, optimize and containerize the model using OctoML CLI, and deploy it to Amazon EKS.

Data quality is traditionally inconsistent and slow across teams and functions. Custom solutions are purpose-built, of varying quality, and rarely maintained.
