Amazon OpenSearch Service is a fully managed service to support search, log analytics, and generative AI Retrieval Augment Generation (RAG) workloads in the AWS Cloud. It simplifies the deployment, security, and scaling of OpenSearch clusters. As organizations scale their log analytics workloads by continuously collecting and analyzing vast amounts of data, they often struggle to […]

In this post, we will walk through how you can use the improved Amazon Q Developer chat and the new built-in Amazon Q Developer CLI in SageMaker Unified Studio for coding ETL tasks, to fix code errors, and generate ML development workflows. Both interfaces use MCP to read files, run commands, and interact with AWS services directly from the IDE. You can also configure additional MCP servers to extend Amazon Q Developer’s capabilities with custom tools and integrations specific to your workflow.

Security and compliance concerns are key considerations when customers across industries rely on Amazon SageMaker Catalog. Customers use SageMaker Catalog to organize, discover, and govern data and machine learning (ML) assets. A common request from domain administrators is the ability to enforce governance controls on certain metadata terms that carry compliance or policy significance. Examples […]

In this post, we’re excited to announce the release of four Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio publicly available workshops that are specific to each FSI segment: insurance, banking, capital markets, and payments. These workshops can help you learn how to deploy Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio effectively for business use cases.

AWS Glue Zero ETL (extract, transform, and load) now supports Salesforce Bulk API, delivering substantial performance gains compared to Salesforce REST API for large-scale data integration for targets such as Amazon SageMaker lakehouse and Amazon Redshift. In this blog post, we show you how to use Zero-ETL powered by AWS Glue with Salesforce Bulk API to accelerate your data integration processes.

Encryption of both data at rest and in transit is a non-negotiable feature for most organizations. Furthermore, organizations operating in highly regulated and security-sensitive environments—such as those in the financial sector—often require full control over the cryptographic keys used for their workloads. Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink makes it straightforward to process real-time data […]

In Part 1 of this series, we discussed fundamental operations to control the lifecycle of your Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink application. In this post, we explore failure scenarios that can happen during normal operations or when you deploy a change or scale the application, and how to monitor operations to detect and recover when something goes wrong.

In this two-part series, we explore what happens during an application’s lifecycle. This post covers core concepts and the application workflow during normal operations. In Part 2, we look at potential failures, how to detect them through monitoring, and ways to quickly resolve issues when they occur.

Amazon SageMaker now supports account-agnostic project profiles, so you can create reusable project templates across multiple AWS accounts and organizational units. In this post, we demonstrate how account-agnostic project profiles can help you simplify and streamline the management of SageMaker project creation while maintaining security and governance features. We walk through the technical steps to configure account-agnostic, reusable project profiles, helping you maximize the flexibility of your SageMaker deployments.

This post explores Kubernetes scheduling fundamentals, examines the limitations of the default kube-scheduler for batch workloads, and demonstrates how YuniKorn addresses these challenges. We discuss how to deploy YuniKorn as a custom scheduler for Amazon EMR on EKS, its integration with job submissions, how to configure queues and placement rules, and how to establish resource quotas. We also show these features in action through practical Spark job examples.
