Introduction Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) is an architecture concept in the telecom industry to enforce state-of-the-art technologies onto servers, network devices, and storage, in order to virtualize Network Functions (NFs). These days, multiple service providers are conceiving their virtual NFs (VNFs) in AWS, and this trend is accelerating further with containerized NFs (CNFs) and 5G. […]

In the training of a machine learning (ML) model, the quality of the model is directly proportional to the quality of data. However, in many cases, in consumer packaged goods (CPG) datasets, there are a lot of missing values affecting the quality of training and prediction in the long run. If your models are already […]

The Transparency in Coverage Rule (TCR) in the United States requires health insurers (payors) disclose information on their pricing agreements with healthcare providers. There are two phases to this regulation: The implementation of Phase 1, which must be complete by July 1, 2022, requires that payors publish machine-readable files (JSON, XML, or Parquet) publicly for each […]

Communications service providers (CSPs) often manage millions of customer premises equipment devices (CPEs) to provide services to their customers. These devices come in different types depending on the underlying communications technologies. Cable modems and xDSL modems, set-top boxes, and wireless routers are some examples of equipment types we see in customer environments. To manage those […]

Virtual Network Interfaces (VNI) on Snowball Edge (SBE) are used for connecting your EC2 instances to your local area network (LAN). One can think of a VNI as a 1:1 entry in a NAT table (Network Address Translation). The VNI is associated to an instance (and its corresponding private IP address). Let’s take an example […]

Opportunity at the intersection of demand and supply Complexity and volatility characterized the consumer-packaged goods (CPG) and retail industries even before the pandemic impacted all of us. According to a Boston Consulting Group study, the associated opportunity loss due to complex and volatile business is estimated to be 8–10 percent, and poor anticipation of demand […]
