AWS Transit Gateway is a service that enables customers to connect thousands of Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) and their on-premises networks using a single gateway. Customers have been enjoying the reduction in operational costs and the overall simplicity that this service brings. Still, today things got even better, with the release of two new […]

When I publicly speak about Amazon EC2 instance type, one frequently asked question I receive is “How can I be sure I chose the right instance type for my application?” Choosing the correct instance type is between art and science. It usually involves knowing your application performance characteristics under normal circumstances (the baseline) and the […]

As your company grows and gets the benefits of a cloud-based infrastructure, your on-premises sites like offices and stores increasingly need high performance private connectivity to AWS and to other sites at a reasonable cost. Growing your network is hard, because traditional branch networks based on leased lines are costly, and they suffer from the same lack […]

When I was delivering the Architecting on AWS class, customers often asked me how to configure an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud to enforce the same network security policies in the cloud as they have on-premises. For example, to scan all ingress traffic with an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) appliance or to use the same firewall […]

Our customers are taking to Machine Learning in a big way. They are running many different types of workloads, including object detection, speech recognition, natural language processing, personalization, and fraud detection. When running on large-scale production workloads, it is essential that they can perform inferencing as quickly and as cost-effectively as possible. According to what […]

AWS customers are always asking for more features, more bandwidth, more compute power, and more memory, while also asking for lower latency and lower prices. We do our best to meet these competing demands: we launch new EC2 instance types, EBS volume types, and S3 storage classes at a rapid pace, and we also reduce […]

Today, we’re extremely happy to launch Amazon SageMaker Studio, the first fully integrated development environment (IDE) for machine learning (ML). We have come a long way since we launched Amazon SageMaker in 2017, and it is shown in the growing number of customers using the service. However, the ML development workflow is still very iterative, […]

Today, we’re extremely happy to announce Amazon SageMaker Debugger, a new capability of Amazon SageMaker that automatically identifies complex issues developing in machine learning (ML) training jobs. Building and training ML models is a mix of science and craft (some would even say witchcraft). From collecting and preparing data sets to experimenting with different algorithms […]

Today, we’re extremely happy to announce Amazon SageMaker Model Monitor, a new capability of Amazon SageMaker that automatically monitors machine learning (ML) models in production, and alerts you when data quality issues appear. The first thing I learned when I started working with data is that there is no such thing as paying too much […]
