How Nearmap built continental-scale aerial search using Amazon S3 Vectors
Nearmap captures high-resolution aerial imagery across populated areas of the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand several times a year, at resolutions as fine as 1.5 inches. More than 10,000 customers globally use these images to assess insurance portfolios, size solar arrays, and track construction sites. Since 2007, Nearmap has completed more than 35,000 […]
Transfer Amazon S3 data from commercial AWS Regions to AWS European Sovereign Cloud using AWS DataSync Enhanced mode
With the introduction of AWS European Sovereign Cloud, organizations across Europe are adopting this dedicated partition to meet stringent data sovereignty requirements. However, organizations face significant operational challenges because they must maintain their existing AWS commercial partition deployments for global customers while simultaneously establishing AWS European Sovereign Cloud infrastructure. This dual-partition reality can cause data […]
Orchestrating multi-agent AI architectures with Amazon S3 Files
Organizations are moving beyond single-model AI toward multi-agent architectures. In these systems, agents offload intermediate results to files rather than carrying everything in the prompt, because a large prompt inflates cost and degrades quality. A model’s context window is finite, so files become working memory that persists after a session ends. In multi-agent systems, a […]
How WeatherBug reduced storage costs by 80% using Amazon S3 Storage Lens and Kiro CLI
WeatherBug is the third largest weather intelligence company in the US, delivering real-time forecasts, radar, lightning alerts, and interactive maps to over 10 million users. As their data footprint has grown across hundreds of Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) buckets in a multi-account AWS environment, their storage costs rose steadily with no clear visibility […]
Securing backup data against modern threats with AWS Backup
Enterprises face an evolving spectrum of threats to their backup data. From ransomware attacks that encrypt production systems and target recovery points, to accidental deletions by well-meaning administrators, to full account compromises that put every resource at risk, organizations can no longer assume that traditional backup approaches will keep their data recoverable. When backup infrastructure […]
Hybrid ML inferencing on Amazon EKS with Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP and on-premises NetApp
Machine learning (ML) models used for inference on Kubernetes are often several gigabytes in size. When these models are embedded in container images, images become oversized and pod scheduling slows. More critically, inference pods are inherently stateful. Model weights, tokenizer files, compiled GPU kernels, and runtime caches must persist across pod restarts, node failures, and […]
Optimize your self-managed PostgreSQL data warehouse with Amazon FSx for OpenZFS
A data warehouse is the analytical backbone of a modern enterprise, consolidating data from disparate sources into a single, authoritative view that enables complex queries, trend analysis, and confident decision-making. In financial services, this means sharper regulatory reporting, faster fraud detection, and deeper customer understanding. The operational reality is demanding. Enterprises juggle multiple source databases […]
Access Amazon S3 backup data directly using S3 Access Points in AWS Backup
AWS Backup for Amazon S3 now lets you access your backup data through Amazon S3 Access Points. You create an access point for a recovery point, and AWS Backup provisions an S3 endpoint with an alias that works anywhere you would use a bucket name. You can then read backup data using standard S3 APIs, […]
Track healthcare data lineage in real time with Amazon S3 annotations
Organizations that store sensitive data need to answer a simple question: where did this data come from, and what happened to it? In healthcare, this isn’t optional. Regulations like HIPAA, GDPR, and SOX require organizations to produce this information on demand. When an auditor asks, for example, “Show me every transformation that touched patient record […]
Accelerate Amazon S3 Replication with automated S3 Batch Operations parallelization
As data volumes grow, organizations must move large datasets between storage locations to meet compliance requirements, optimize performance, and help meet data sovereignty requirements. However, migrating petabytes of data presents significant challenges: lengthy transfer times, complex coordination of parallel operations, data integrity verification, and substantial engineering overhead. Automation reduces resource consumption and operational complexity during […]
