In March 2023, AWS and NVIDIA announced a multipart collaboration focused on building the most scalable, on-demand artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure optimized for training increasingly complex large language models (LLMs) and developing generative AI applications. We preannounced Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) P5 instances powered by NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs and AWS’s latest […]

As organizations grow, the records that contain information about customers, businesses, or products tend to be increasingly fragmented and siloed across applications, channels, and data stores. Because information can be gathered in different ways, there is also the issue of different but equivalent data, such as for street addresses (“5th Avenue” and “5th Ave”). As […]

This April, Swami Sivasubramanian, Vice President of Data and Machine Learning at AWS, announced Amazon Bedrock and Amazon Titan models as part of new tools for building with generative AI on AWS. Amazon Bedrock, currently available in preview, is a fully managed service that makes foundation models (FMs) from Amazon and leading AI startups—such as […]

Zero-Based Budgeting (ZBB) is like solving a financial puzzle. Instead of relying on the previous year’s budget, ZBB requires you to evaluate and justify every expense from the ground up, justifying its necessity and alignment with strategic goals. It’s like starting with a blank canvas and carefully selecting each budget item based on its value […]

CISOs face a tough balancing act. They must protect new digital transformation strategies that deliver revenue, and keep fragmented legacy systems secure. At the same time they have to battle the siege on identities, and get more work done with a smaller cybersecurity staff. Consolidating tech stacks, together with gaining access to new technologies, is the […]

It’ll be a full house as the AWS Summit gets underway in New York City on Wednesday, July 26, 2023. The cloud event has something for everyone including a keynote, breakout sessions, opportunities to network, and of course, to learn about the latest exciting AWS product announcements. Today, we’re sharing a selection of announcements to […]

New technologies are shaping the way we produce, distribute and consume energy. Smart grid technology—an integral part of energy’s digital transformation—promises to modernize the traditional electrical system with an infusion of digital intelligence that helps energy providers transition to clean energy and reduce carbon emissions. The U.S. alone has installed nearly 10,000 electricity generation units, […]

Are you ready to take a step into the future? As the world rapidly evolves, the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is at the forefront of this transformative journey. The demand for AI expertise is skyrocketing in every field, and to thrive in this dynamic, tech-savvy landscape, you need to stay ahead of the curve. […]

Summer is in full swing here in Seattle and we are spending more time outside and less at the keyboard. Nevertheless, the launch machine is running at full speed and I have plenty to share with you today. Let’s dive in and take a look! Last Week’s LaunchesHere are some launches that caught my eye: […]

If you read some of my earlier blog posts, you know that I automated the setup (onboarding) for workshops and hackathons. Thus far, running my Terraform scripts to deploy resources and privileges meant allowing access to them. Thanks to a (relatively) new IBM Cloud security feature called time-based restrictions, I can decouple the deployment process […]
