Announcing the General Availability of Bottlerocket, an open source Linux distribution built to run containers
As our customers increasingly adopt containers to run their workloads, we saw a need for a Linux distribution designed from the ground up to run containers with a focus on security, operations, and manageability at scale. Customers needed an operating system that would give them the ability to manage thousands of hosts running containers with […]
How TalkingData uses AWS open source Deep Java Library with Apache Spark for machine learning inference at scale
This post is contributed by Xiaoyan Zhang, a Data Scientist from TalkingData. TalkingData is a data intelligence service provider that offers data products and services to provide businesses insights on consumer behavior, preferences, and trends. One of TalkingData’s core services is leveraging machine learning and deep learning models to predict consumer behaviors (e.g., likelihood of […]
Managing AWS ParallelCluster SSH users with OpenLDAP
A common request from AWS ParallelCluster users is to have the ability to deploy multiple POSIX user accounts. The wiki on the project GitHub page documents a simple mechanism for achieving this, and a previous blog post, “AWS ParallelCluster with AWS Directory Services Authentication,” documents how to integrate AWS ParallelCluster with AWS Directory Service. However, […]
Building resilient services at Prime Video with chaos engineering
Large-scale distributed software systems are composed of several individual sub-systems—such as CDNs, load balancers, and databases—and their interactions. These interactions sometimes have unpredictable outcomes caused by unforeseen turbulent events (for example, a network failure). These events can lead to system-wide failures. Chaos engineering is the discipline of experimenting on a distributed system to build confidence […]
Improving the serverless developer experience with sls-dev-tools
This post was contributed by AWS Serverless Hero Ben Ellerby. One of the most exciting things about serverless is the acceleration it can provide to teams. No longer do you have to invest time in the undifferentiated, heavy lifting of managing the infrastructure of our applications. Instead you can spend time writing code that creates […]

Enterprise-ready Kubeflow: Securing and scaling AI and machine learning pipelines with AWS
NOTE: Since this blog post was written, much about Kubeflow has changed. While we are leaving it up for historical reference, more accurate information about Kubeflow on AWS can be found here. Many AWS customers are building AI and machine learning pipelines on top of Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) using Kubeflow across many […]
Deploy AWS CloudFormation stacks with GitHub Actions
At GitHub Universe 2019, we announced that we open sourced four new GitHub Actions for Amazon ECS and ECR. Fast forward to 2020 we are expanding the number of available actions by releasing AWS CloudFormation Action for GitHub Actions. This GitHub Action enables developers and cloud engineers to maintain their infrastructure as code in a […]
