Many organizations are moving their data from silos and aggregating it in one location. Collecting this data in a data lake enables you to perform analytics and machine learning on that data. You can store your data in purpose-built data stores, like a data warehouse, to get quick results for complex queries on structured data. […]

Customers operating in hybrid environments today face tremendous challenges with regard to operational management, security/compliance, and monitoring. Systems administrators have to connect, monitor, patch, and automate across multiple Operating Systems (OS), applications, cloud, and on-premises infrastructure. Each of these scenarios has its own unique vendor and console purpose-built for a specific use case. Using Hybrid […]

Many enterprise applications run Microsoft SQL Server as their backend relational database.  There are various options for customers to benefit from deploying their SQL Server on AWS. This blog will help you choose the right architecture for your SQL Server Deployment with high availability options, using Amazon EC2 for mission-critical applications. SQL Server on Amazon […]

Hospitals and clinical trial sites manage sensitive patient data. They are often required to grant remote access to custom Windows-based applications for patient record review and medical image analysis. This typically requires providing physicians and staff with remote access to on-premises workstations over VPN, with some flavor of remote desktop software. This can be both […]

This post was co-written with Marcus Rosen, a Principal  – Machine Learning Operations with Rio Tinto, a global mining company.  Data pre-processing is an important step in setting up Machine Learning (ML) projects for success. Many AWS customers use Apache Spark on AWS Glue or Amazon EMR to run data pre-processing scripts while using Amazon SageMaker […]

For decades, enterprises used online analytical processing (OLAP) workloads to answer complex questions about their business by filtering and aggregating their data. These complex queries were compute and memory-intensive. This required teams to build and maintain complex extract, transform, and load (ETL) pipelines to model and organize data, oftentimes with commercial-grade analytics tools. In this […]

Pilot phases, or pilots, as we will call them from now on, should be conducted to test and find the positive and negative aspects of a particular use case, design pattern, or application migration approach. They allow you to validate the foundation of your architecture (for example, with a landing zone governed by AWS Control […]
