The gaming industry is undergoing significant growth, with AI-driven interactive experiences setting new standards. Anuttacon, an independent research lab, is committed to developing humanistic general intelligence that enables seamless, real-time interactions across text, voice, visuals, and more. Their mission is to create multimodal AI capable of genuine emotional understanding and expressive communication—technology that both thinks […]

Amazon S3 is the best place to build data lakes because of its durability, availability, scalability, and security. In 2023, we introduced Mountpoint for Amazon S3, an open source file client that allows Linux-based applications to access S3 objects through a file API. Shortly after, we took this one step further with the Mountpoint for […]

Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. For users running applications and workloads on Kubernetes, protecting resources and data from accidental deletion or hardware failures is crucial for maintaining business continuity and meeting compliance requirements. While Kubernetes provides high availability through its control plane […]

Domino Data Lab is an AWS Partner Network (APN) partner that provides a central system of record for data science activity across an organization. The Domino solution delivers orchestration for all data science artifacts, including AWS infrastructure, data and services. As part of the solution, Domino’s platform leverages the scale, security, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of […]

For many stateful containerized applications, such as those using Kubernetes orchestration, each stateful pod (the smallest deployable container object) may require dedicated persistent storage. A block storage solution is a good fit due to its high performance, low latency, and persistence attributes. If a compute instance has more compute resources to spare, you can only […]

This blog covers performance metrics, optimizations, and configuration tuning specific to OSS Spark running on Amazon EKS. For customers using or considering Amazon EMR on EKS, refer to the service documentation to get started and this blog post for the latest performance benchmark. Performance is top of mind for customers running streaming, extract transform load […]

Building and testing software is a resource-intensive operation that usually involves a fleet of very powerful servers waiting in the wings for build jobs. With the rise of cloud native continuous integration/continuous development (CI/CD) systems on Kubernetes (i.e., Tekton, Jenkins X), we’re seeing a shift from the large (and often over-provisioned) static fleet of build […]

UPDATE 05/23/25: There is a new way to modify volumes, refer to this blog post that covers the details. Enterprises running critical applications in containers may require access to a persistent storage layer that extends beyond the lifetime of a container instance. A block storage solution such as Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) is a […]

Kubernetes is a scalable system that offers rapid and easy containerized application deployments for both stateless and long-running, stateful applications. Many Kubernetes applications require a storage system that integrates with the Kubernetes Container Storage Interface (CSI) to create file and block volumes, scale storage, take snapshots, and create clones. Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP supports […]
