In Aotearoa New Zealand, we have been listening and learning to better understand Māori aspirations when using cloud technology. We have been learning from Māori customers, partners, and advisors who have helped us on this journey. A common theme was how to safeguard Māori data in a digital world. Together with a group of Māori […]

The design of cloud workloads can be a complex task, where a perfect and universal solution doesn’t exist. We should balance all the different trade-offs and find an optimal solution based on our context. But how does it work in practice? Which guiding principles should we follow? Which are the most important areas we should […]

Genomics workflows process petabyte-scale datasets on large pools of compute resources. In this blog post, we discuss how life science organizations can use Amazon Web Services (AWS) to run transcriptomic sequencing data analysis using public datasets. This allows users to quickly test research hypotheses against larger datasets in support of clinical diagnostics. We use AWS […]

A data-driven approach empowers businesses to make informed decisions based on accurate predictions and forecasts, leading to improved operational efficiency and resource optimization. Machine learning (ML) systems have the remarkable ability to continuously learn and adapt, improving their performance over time as they are exposed to more data. This self-learning capability ensures that organizations can […]

AWS Regions provide fault isolation boundaries that prevent correlated failure and contain the impact from AWS service impairments to a single Region when they occur. You can use these fault boundaries to build multi-Region applications that consist of independent, fault-isolated replicas in each Region that limit shared fate scenarios. This allows you to build multi-Region […]

Generative artificial intelligence (generative AI) is a type of AI used to generate content, including conversations, images, videos, and music. Generative AI can be used directly to build customer-facing features (a chatbot or an image generator), or it can serve as an underlying component in a more complex system. For example, it can generate embeddings […]
