AWS Local Zones offer low-latency access to AWS services for customers in metropolitan areas. As Local Zones adoption increases, customers can design highly available architectures by using Local Zones. By leveraging Megaport’s Cloud Router and Virtual Cross Connects, customers can optimize east-west traffic between Local Zones, reducing latency. This enables them to build resilient, high-performance architectures with improved network connectivity between Local Zones for their applications without having to route through parent regions.

With more than 100,000 AWS Partners across the globe, how do you find the right partner for the right job? AWS Specializations help customers find a short list of trusted cloud partners with diverse expertise. Learn about the four programs that provide technical validation based on AWS services, workloads, use cases, industries, and managed services: Service Delivery, Service Ready, Competency, and Managed Service Provider (MSP).

A small number of companies manage to leverage the true value of their machine learning proofs of concept, and the majority of those are still struggling to overcome the experiment-production gap for their AI applications fueled by machine learning and data. Learn about MLOps, why organizations should care about it on their AI journey, and how DXC Technology and AWS can help to quickly integrate MLOps best practices into your daily business using the MLOps Quick Start for MLOps on AWS.

A unified, autonomous, and fully digital airline operations solution can help mitigate challenges related to cost inefficiency, latency, or suboptimal decisions and their consequences, including cost, disruption, and customer dissatisfaction.

As the adoption of Amazon EKS for running Kubernetes clusters grows, customers are seeking ways to better understand and control their costs. To address these customer needs and shed more light on EKS costs, AWS has collaborated with Anodot, an AWS Partner that uses machine learning to autonomously monitor and alert on costs in near real time, and provides recommendations to help customers quickly resolve cost anomalies.

The security team at Wix, a global leader in providing a comprehensive, cloud-based platform for web development, needed to reduce and prioritize the number of alerts and get a deeper dive into their cloud infrastructure stack. They sought to understand issues and vulnerabilities that could possibly be exploited and gain more context pertaining to incidents. Learn how Orca Security and Amazon GuardDuty helped prioritize detected alerts based on the severity of a security issue, its accessibility, and business impact.

Federated learning (FL) addresses the need of preserving privacy while having access to large datasets for machine learning model training. The NVIDIA FLARE (which stands for Federated Learning Application Runtime Environment) platform provides an open-source Python SDK for collaborative computation and offers privacy-preserving FL workflows at scale. NVIDIA is an AWS Competency Partner that has pioneered accelerated computing to tackle challenges in AI and computer graphics.

Take an in-depth view of the cloud migration and data platform modernization process for Flipboard, which engaged Mactores Cognition for a thorough assessment of the self-managed platform and help migrating existing data workloads to a fully managed Amazon EMR serverless big data platform. The process streamlined Flipboard’s distributed database capabilities, allowing the social media platform to support user spikes at scale, maximize throughput performance, and prepare to expand the user base exponentially.
