This post is part of our Week in Review series. Check back each week for a quick roundup of interesting news and announcements from AWS! I’ve just come back from a long (extended) holiday weekend here in the US and I’m still catching up on all the AWS launches that happened this past week. I’m particularly excited about some of the data, machine learning, and quantum computing news. Let’s have a look! Last Week’s Launches The launches that caught my attention last week are the following: Amazon EMR Serverless is now generally available – Amazon EMR Serverless allows you to run big data applications using open-source frameworks such as Apache Spark and Apache Hive without configuring, managing, and scaling clusters.…

In December 2021, we introduced Amazon SageMaker Serverless Inference (in preview) as a new option in Amazon SageMaker to deploy machine learning (ML) models for inference without having to configure or manage the underlying infrastructure. Today, I’m happy to announce that Amazon SageMaker Serverless Inference is now generally available (GA). Different ML inference use cases pose different requirements on your model hosting infrastructure. If you work on use cases such as ad serving, fraud detection, or personalized product recommendations, you are most likely looking for API-based, online inference with response times as low as a few milliseconds. If you work with large ML models, such as in computer vision (CV) applications, you might require infrastructure that is optimized to run…

This post is part of our Week in Review series. Check back each week for a quick roundup of interesting news and announcements from AWS! Here we are with another roundup of the most significant AWS launches from the previous week. Among the news, we have a new deployment option for Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, performance and scaling improvements done in AWS Fargate, and an update on the AWS AI & ML Scholarship program. Last Week’s Launches Here are some launches that caught my attention last week: Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP introduces a single Availability Zone (AZ) deployment option – Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP allows you to launch and run fully managed ONTAP file systems in the…

As a woman working in information technology (IT) for many years, it has always been close to my heart to challenge long-standing gender stereotypes and inspire more young learners to consider a career in tech. With artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) defining the future of technology, this future also depends on diverse representation. The World Economic Forum estimates that technological advances and automation will create 97 million new technology jobs by 2025, including in the field of AI and ML. Yet, according to their research, women make up just 32% of AI jobs globally. The Pew Research Center found that Black and Hispanic workers in the U.S. comprise just 9% and 8% of workers in the science, technology,…
