Continental and AWS have been collaborating to create the Continental Automotive Edge (CAEdge) framework – a modular hardware and software environment that connects the vehicle to the cloud and features virtual workbenches. The platform includes a virtual workbench offering numerous options to develop, supply, and maintain software-intensive system functions. It supports a wide range of automotive […]

Just after joining Amazon Web Services in 2009, I met with Andrew Certain, at that time a senior engineer on the Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) team, to get into the details on how EBS was implemented and what plans were looking forward. Andrew took me through the details of this remote block storage […]

In the digital era, ensuring business continuity through effective disaster recovery measures is crucial for organizations of all sizes. Setting up disaster recovery solutions manually, such as installing recovery agents on multiple servers, can be a significant and time-consuming task. Therefore, many customers are increasingly seeking automation not only to streamline common administrative tasks but […]

As distributed systems get more complex, anticipating disruptions becomes even more challenging. Conventional techniques of verifying known situations through unit or integration testing leave gaps that don’t cover component failures, which can result in expensive outages. Chaos engineering is a disciplined approach to unhide failures before they become outages. By proactively identifying how a system […]

It’s no secret that the increased adoption of cloud computing has transformed the way enterprises are managing and protecting their mission critical applications and data. Security and compliance becomes a shared responsibility between cloud providers and their customers. The shared model helps clarify which aspects the cloud provider is responsible for, and which aspects fall […]

To leverage the benefits of modern software development and automation, the telecommunications industry (telco) commonly employs containerized network functions (NF). The containerized environment demands certain requirements from the underlying infrastructure as opposed to a legacy monolithic IT workload. For example, a single network interface is reused for multiple workflows: network operations and maintenance (O&M) traffic, […]

When I talk with customers about their file storage, I frequently get asked “How can I determine the right throughput capacity for my file storage?” The simple answer is through monitoring the performance of your workload to determine the right performance configuration for your file storage. Throughput modes for Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) determine […]

When managing a fleet of Windows instances, you often need a central repository for files that can be accessed from multiple locations. Having an automatically mapped Server Message Block (SMB) file share when your end-users connect to the domain-joined instances automates the repetitive and time-consuming task of mapping file shares manually to hundreds of new […]

Organizations perform refreshes of database environments to ensure they can perform development, testing, and QA on copies of the most up-to-date, production-like datasets. In addition, IT teams are tasked with managing increasing data footprints, while maintaining the highest levels of availability, resiliency, and performance. Many customer development cycles maintain DTAP (Development, Test, Acceptance, and Production) […]

GPT, or Generative Pre-trained Transformer, is a language model that has shown remarkable progress in various vertical industries. This technology has been used to generate human-like text in fields such as finance, healthcare, legal, marketing, and many others. In finance, GPT is being used to analyze financial data, generate reports, and assist with decision-making. In […]
