Autodesk on Envisioning the Future with Generative Design and the Power of AWS
Using AWS, Autodesk can scale the use of generative design to run hundreds of simulations in one hour instead of several hours or days. Autodesk develops software for the engineering, design, and entertainment industries. Using services including Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Autodesk can focus on developing its machine-learning tools instead of managing infrastructure. Brian Mathews, VP of platform engineering at Autodesk, spoke onstage at AWS re:Invent 2017.
AWS Services Used
Amazon Relational Database Service
Set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud with just a few clicks
Global software company Autodesk used Amazon SageMaker to improve the efficiency insights that it can provide to users of its computer-aided design program AutoCAD, focusing on development rather than operations.
Innovyze, an Autodesk company, reduced development time from years to months and deployment time from months to days by building Info360, which uses AWS IoT Greengrass and runs entirely on the cloud.
A leader in 3D design, engineering, and entertainment software, Autodesk has been producing such software for the architecture, construction, engineering, manufacturing, and media and entertainment industries since 1982. The company has continued to innovate in the decades since, now offering subscription software services to more than 100 million customers worldwide.
Autodesk migrated its big data workloads to Amazon EMR with the AWS Migration Acceleration Program, improving performance, reliability, and cost efficiency.
