Let’s Architect! Cost-Optimizing AWS Workloads
In this blog post, we discuss architectural patterns, services, and best practices to design cost-optimized cloud workloads. We also identify solutions, such as the use of Graviton processors, for increased performance at lower price. Cost optimization is a continuous process that requires the identification of the right tools for each job, as well as the adoption of efficient designs for your system.
Let’s Architect! Security in Software Architectures
In this blog post, we share some practices for protecting your workloads from the most common attacks, introduce the Zero Trust principle (you can learn how AWS itself is implementing it!), plus how to move to containers and/or alternative approaches for managing your secrets.
Designing a Hybrid AI/ML Data Access Strategy with Amazon SageMaker
Over time, many enterprises have built an on-premises cluster of servers, accumulating data, and then procuring more servers and storage. They often begin their ML journey by experimenting locally on their laptops. Investment in artificial intelligence (AI) is at a different stage in every business organization. Some remain completely on-premises, others are hybrid (both on-premises and cloud), and the remaining have moved completely into the cloud for their AI and machine learning (ML) workloads.
