Precise Software Solutions, Inc. (Precise), an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partner, participated in the AWS Think Big for Small Business Program (TBSB) to expand their AWS capabilities and to grow their business in the public sector. After completion of the program, Precise achieved Advanced tier partner status and was selected by a federal government agency to create a machine learning as a service (MLaaS) platform on AWS. The platform helped the agency gain a four-fold productivity improvement by streamlining and automating labor-intensive manual processes. Read this post to learn more.

This post discusses how FIA Tech, a leading technology provider for the exchange traded derivatives (ETD) industry, built the Trade Data Network (TDN) on Amazon Web Services (AWS). TDN is an industry initiative that provides a shared ledger of trading information to address the fragmentation and lack of transparency in ETD post-trade processing. The TDN initiative currently includes 17 banks/brokers and 40 investment managers and hedge funds with combined assets under management of more than $34 trillion.

In this post, we show how Amazon Lightsail for Research can help you successfully deploy an artificial intelligence (AI) image generation model using open source software. We walk through deploying a Lightsail for Research GPU instance using a simplified console experience. We cover how to set up cost control rules in order to prevent or manage unnecessary costs. And we show how you can open network ports on your Lightsail for Research instance to allow others to access the software you are running.

Seeking to make access to economic policy documents easier, the Mercatus Center — a university-based research center affiliated with George Mason University — created a generative artificial intelligence (AI) solution. Mercatus developed a platform, QuantGov, with assistance from Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources, including Amazon Bedrock, AWS Lambda, AWS API Gateway, and AWS RDS. Accessible through an interactive AI assistant, the platform provides scalable, accurate, and no-cost access to a treasure trove of data, helping policymakers craft informed public policy that will positively impact people’s lives.

Precision medicine is a data-driven approach that considers individual variations in genetics to allow healthcare professionals to more accurately predict, prevent, diagnose, or treat different groups of people. As part of ongoing research to advance genomic research in Singapore, companies like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Illumina play a pivotal role in genome sequencing and analysis, and providing the tools and technology needed to analyse large-scale genomic datasets to help decode the risk factors for certain Asian-specific chronic diseases.

In this post, we provide technical guidance to help satellite operators build, deploy, and analyze satcom waveforms on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Details are provided about the orchestration of multiple waveforms, including an example of one Amazon Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) Image being swapped in for another. We analyze the FPGA utilization and metrics in Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon QuickSight, and validate network performance against system latency requirements. Finally, we recommend actions you can take to build an agile satcom strategy.

In this post, we showcase a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) application that can search and query across multiple Indian languages using the Cohere Embed – Multilingual model and Anthropic Claude 3 on Amazon Bedrock. This post focuses on Indian languages, but you can use the approach with other languages that are supported by the large language model.

Satellite Resiliency for AWS Outposts offers a comprehensive, Partner-managed solution for resilient cloud-connected edge computing that extends the reach of Amazon Web Services (AWS) to the most remote and geographically dispersed environments on earth. AWS Outposts typically run connected to a parent AWS Region for resource management, access control, and software updates. When terrestrial network connectivity between an Outpost and its parent AWS Region is unavailable, this solution routes traffic back to the parent Region over a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite connection, supporting business continuity and data residency requirements.

In countries where demand for healthcare outweighs available resources, and populations are spread out in remote locations, open source technologies using Amazon Web Services (AWS) can transform providers’ and patients’ experience. Bahmni, an open source electronic medical records (EMR) system is one that we have pioneered. It gives doctors rapid access to up-to-date health records and test results so that they have better information and more time for patient care. A system that started in a single hospital in a remote part of central India is now used by more than 500 hospitals in 50 countries.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a variety of options for building chat-based assistants with generative artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. The goal of this post is to present in simple words some of these options and what to keep in mind to decide which to use and how to get started.
