Podcasts about amazon ec2 instances

In this episode, we discuss running container based workloads anywhere with industry experts: Nathan Walker, Senior Solutions Architect at AWS and Mohan Potheri, Cloud Solutions Architect at Intel Whether your use case(s) require you to have a footprint in:-AWS Cloud-On-Premises-Hybrid Cloud Summary:This talk will kickoff with a brief discussion of Modern Application Architecture to set the stage and then quickly dive into why containers have become an integral part in the Cloud Native Journey. The talk will then focus specifically on Kubernetes based workloads which leverage Amazon EKS within AWS Cloud AND the Amazon EKS Distro for Amazon EKS Anywhere, outside of AWS Cloud. We'll also be joined by a special guest with deep subject matter expertise on Intel backed Amazon EC2 Instances as well as Intel backed On-Prem servers to optimize your Hybrid Cloud Kubernetes Clusters with Amazon EKS and Amazon EKS Anywhere.

Amazon EC2 provides a broad selection of instance types to accommodate a diverse mix of workloads. In this session, we provide an overview of the Amazon EC2 instance platform, key platform features, and the concept of instance generations. We dive into the current generation design choices of the different instance families, including the General Purpose, Compute Optimized, Storage Optimized, Memory Optimized, and GPU instance families. We also detail best practices and share performance tips for getting the most out of your Amazon EC2 instances. Complete Title: AWS re:Invent 2018: [REPEAT 1] Deep Dive on Amazon EC2 Instances & Performance Optimization Best Practices (CMP307-R1)

Many customers are using Amazon EC2 instances to run applications with high performance networking requirements. In this session, we provide an overview of Amazon EC2 network performance features- including enhanced networking, ENA, and placement groups-and discuss how we are innovating on behalf of our customers to improve networking performance in a scalable and cost-efficient manner. We share best practices and performance tips for getting the best networking performance out of your Amazon EC2 instances.

Cloud services built on compute-optimized EC2 instances can serve as your next-generation HPC platform. Learn how to utilize the Rescale platform on AWS to meet the ever-increasing demands on compute resources while avoiding costly capex investments. Custom Intel Xeon processors enable you to meet your HPC needs by taking advantage of the newest technologies in the cloud. This session is brought to you by AWS partner, Intel.

Do you need to run compute remotely? Perhaps you need to provide IT shipboard? Or in the battlefield? Simon speaks with Ian Perez-Ponce all about this new capability.
