In November 2023, the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) released a set of draft regulations on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and automated decision-making technology (ADMT).  The proposed rules are still in development, but organizations may want to pay close attention to their evolution. Because the state is home to many of the world’s […]

In the ever-evolving landscape of cloud infrastructure, creating a customizable and secure virtual private cloud (VPC) environment within a single region has become a necessity for many organizations. The VPC landing zone deployable architectures offers a solution to this need through a set of starting templates that can be quickly adapted to fit your specific […]

A Kubernetes Operator is a method of packaging, deploying, and managing a Kubernetes application. Conceptually, an Operator takes human operational knowledge and encodes it into software that is packaged with the application. This could include how to deploy a complex application, how to handle failing nodes or persistent storage, and how to upgrade an application […]

Foundational models (FMs) are trained on large volumes of data and use billions of parameters. However, in order to answer customers’ questions related to domain-specific private data, they need to reference an authoritative knowledge base outside of the model’s training data sources. This is commonly achieved using a technique known as Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). […]
