Many-to-many vehicle routing architecture

Optimizing fleet utilization with Amazon Location Service and HERE Technologies

The fleet management market is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 15.5 percent—from 25.5 billion US dollars in 2022 to USD 52.4 billion in 2027. Optimizing how your organization uses its vehicle fleet is important for logistics and service providers such as last mile, middle mile, and field services. In […]

Automated benchmarking of genomics workflows

Genomics workflows, Part 5: automated benchmarking

Launching and running genomics workflows can take hours and involves large pools of compute instances that process data at a petabyte scale. Benchmarking helps you evaluate workflow performance and discover faster and cheaper ways of running them. In practice, performance evaluations happen irregularly because of the associated heavy lifting. In this blog post, we discuss […]

IBM Instana architecture on AWS

Realtime monitoring of microservices and cloud-native applications with IBM Instana SaaS on AWS

Customers are adopting microservices architecture to build innovative and scalable applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS). These microservices applications are deployed across multiple AWS services, and customers are looking for comprehensive observability solutions that can help them effectively monitor and manage the performance of their applications in real-time. IBM Instana is a fully automated application […]

Warm standby with managed services

Disaster Recovery Solutions with AWS managed services, Part 3: Multi-Site Active/Passive

Welcome to the third post of a multi-part series that addresses disaster recovery (DR) strategies with the use of AWS-managed services to align with customer requirements of performance, cost, and compliance. In part two of this series, we introduced a DR concept that utilizes managed services through a backup and restore strategy with multiple Regions. […]

Data lake architecture with OpenSearch

Text analytics on AWS: implementing a data lake architecture with OpenSearch

Text data is a common type of unstructured data found in analytics. It is often stored without a predefined format and can be hard to obtain and process. For example, web pages contain text data that data analysts collect through web scraping and pre-process using lowercasing, stemming, and lemmatization. After pre-processing, the cleaned text is […]

Solution architecture for S3 Glacier object restore

Genomics workflows, Part 4: processing archival data

Genomics workflows analyze data at petabyte scale. After processing is complete, data is often archived in cold storage classes. In some cases, like studies on the association of DNA variants against larger datasets, archived data is needed for further processing. This means manually initiating the restoration of each archived object and monitoring the progress. Scientists […]

Workflow manager for genomics workflows

Genomics workflows, Part 3: automated workflow manager

Genomics workflows are high-performance computing workloads. Life-science research teams make use of various genomics workflows. With each invocation, they specify custom sets of data and processing steps, and translate them into commands. Furthermore, team members stay to monitor progress and troubleshoot errors, which can be cumbersome, non-differentiated, administrative work. In Part 3 of this series, […]

Access to AWS resources from on-premises

Architecting your security model in AWS for legacy application migrations

Application migrations, especially from legacy/mainframe to the cloud, are done in phases that sometimes span multiple years. Each phase migrates a set of applications, data, and other resources to the cloud. During the transition phases, applications might require access to both on-premises and cloud-based resources to perform their function. While working with our customers, we […]
