A few weeks ago, we hosted the first EMEA AWS Heroes Summit in Milan, Italy. This past week, I had the privilege to join the Americas AWS Heroes Summit in Seattle, Washington, USA. Meeting with our community experts is always inspiring and a great opportunity to learn from each other. During the Summit, AWS Heroes from North America and Latin America shared their thoughts with AWS developer advocates and product teams on topics such as serverless, containers, machine learning, data, and DevTools. You can learn more about the AWS Heroes program here. Last Week’s Launches Here are some launches that got my attention during the previous week: Cloudscape Design System – Cloudscape is an open source design system for creating…

Today, I am happy to announce that you can now use Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth to generate labeled synthetic image data. Building machine learning (ML) models is an iterative process that, at a high level, starts with data collection and preparation, followed by model training and model deployment. And especially the first step, collecting large, diverse, and accurately labeled datasets for your model training, is often challenging and time-consuming. Let’s take computer vision (CV) applications as an example. CV applications have come to play a key role in the industrial landscape. They help improve manufacturing quality or automate warehouses. Yet, collecting the data to train these CV models often takes a long time or can be impossible. As a data…

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…
