Mainframe Modernization is in for a change

Reverse engineering or Working Backwards as Bezos calls it, is quite the strategy in product developmemt. Picture the team starting with imagining the product is ready to ship? But I I find a lot of value in it. It is Amazon's approach to innovation and it seems to be working just alright. #WorkingBackwards #Amazon #AmazonInnovation #innovation #ProductManagement #ReverseEngineering https://lnkd.in/gJAeziwX

As Amazon CTO Werner Vogels wisely stated, "Everything fails all the time." In the tech world, failures are inevitable, but what matters most is how we respond to them. Providing users with clear visibility into their environments is key to swiftly addressing issues. TechAhead's 3P #Observability Framework—#Platform, #Product, and #People —offers a comprehensive strategy to enhance observability. Discover how #Stripe has implemented this framework, setting a prime example of achieving robust observability at scale. Embrace observability to ensure seamless operations and quick issue resolution as your company grows. #TechInsights #Microservices #CloudComputing #DevOps Read more: https://lnkd.in/gZrw2k7n

And it’s a wrap at AWS reinvent 2024. What an experience, the energy, the excitement is infectious, people from across the walks of tech field across the boarders hustling to learn what’s new in AWS tech stack, building solution, listening to breakouts and networking. This is the power of community that AWS brings together. On that note, we ended the reinvent with our Amazon Nova Multimodal Understanding workshop-AIM332 which showcases how to use these models with Images and Videos, how to prompt these models, how to build Muiltimodal RAG systems and how to add Bedrock Agents with it to create a fully fledged application. The workshop was packed with 100+ attendees (sorry for the folks who were sent back due to limited capacity, I promise to record the whole workshop and publish it on my you tube) And 90% of the participants were able to create this application powered by Amazon Nova with Multimodal RAG and Agents. I will also be open sourcing the code in few days so other friends can also try in self paced manner. Stay Tuned It was an awesome experience. Here is to my partner in crime and a huge help in pulling this together. Shreyas Subramanian, PhD Onwards and upwards 🚀 #AmazonNova #reInvent2024 #AmazonBedrock #Amazon #GenAI

Amazon re:Invent wrapped up in Vegas last week. I’m biased, but IMO re:Invent is the best tech conference going and its not particularly close. Here are three announcements I'm excited about going in 2025: ✨ Amazon Nova - Nova is Amazon’s newest family of foundation models. While the Titan family of models (released last year) didn’t gain much traction, Nova models appear promising and cheap. Amazon is constantly optimizing price/performance for customers, so I expect Nova to get cheaper and performance to improve rapidly. We will definitely be experimenting with Nova at Ravenna over the next few weeks. 🪣 Amazon S3 Metadata Service - A new service for managing object metadata at scale. This eliminates the need for custom data inventory systems, which will help Ravenna as our S3 usage grows. While AI services get the headlines, AWS continues to work backwards from customers and deliver unsexy services that solve huge customer pain. 👏 🚀 EKS Automode + Hybrid Nodes - EKS was one of the services I worked on at AWS. Automode and Hybrid Nodes have been in the works for quite some time and it is amazing to see them go live. Major congrats to the teams for getting these shipped! Ravenna is moving to Automode in early 2025 😀. What did I miss? What announcements stood out to you? #AWS #reInvent2024 #CloudComputing #ITSM

We're excited to announce that our genAI story just got even better! Our customers can now bring their own models to the party, easily evaluate models and make their genAI safe with Guardrails. Plus, we're thrilled to offer even more industry-leading foundational models like Claude3, Llama3 and Command R+. We'd love to hear what you're building with our genAI services!

AWS re:Invent lived up to the hype! With >65,000 attendees, it's clear that AWS’s scale and reach are nothing short of remarkable. Here are some key takeaways: 🤝 Partnerships are essential: They drive scale, interoperability, and the growth of any infrastructure platform. 📈 Evolution in the market: Similar to Stripe, AWS began by catering to SMBs before expanding into Enterprise. 🤖 AI leadership: With the introduction of groundbreaking models like Nova, new AI chips such as Trainium2, the cutting-edge AI supercomputer project Rainier, and an additional $4B investment in Anthropic, Amazon isn't just participating in the AI race—they're positioning themselves to lead it. 💪 Reliability matters: For those interested in infrastructure stability, check out the re:Invent talk "How Stripe achieves five and a half 9s of availability." 🎥 Media & Entertainment Insights: The industry is projected to reach $3.4T by 2028. (Don't miss the re:Invent talk “Reinventing entertainment”). 47% of Gen Z prefer social videos and live streams, solidifying the generational shift toward a creator economy. We’ve transitioned from an age of personalization to an era of hyper-personalization. Expect more growth in IP expansion across sub-segments, as evidenced by the success of high grossing video game film adaptations.

It's summit season, and the #AWSSummitBerlin is just around the corner! 🌍 Next week, I'm thrilled to be taking the stage alongside Roy Allela to dive deep into the world of #Amazon #Bedrock. 🛠️ Together, we'll explore how #Amazon #Bedrock eases your journey towards selecting the right model(s) for your enterprise-grade use cases. We'll uncover why model choice is a critical decision and what model characteristics to consider when choosing a base model. 🔍 But that's not all! We'll also delve into different customization approaches to align with your organization's unique needs. And to top it off, we'll discuss how to properly set up model evaluation at scale in an automated fashion, leveraging the power of AWS services. 🚀 I can't wait to see you all at the #AWSSummitBerlin! 🤝 📍 #AWSBerlinSummit, STATION Berlin, keynote stage - breakout 2 📆 May 15 & May 16, 2024 - 17:15 - 18:00 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eR8BdGTq
