re:Invent 2017 – New AWS Tools Draw Intelligence From Real-World Media. In an effort to help developers build more intelligent apps, Amazon Web Services (AWS), this week revealed four new solutions that can transform large volumes of unstructured media into data mines. The four services were introduced by Andy Jassy, AWS CEO, during Wednesday’s re:Invent keynote. They are Amazon Rekognition Video (Amazon Transcribe), Amazon Translate, and Amazon Comprehend. Rekognition Video, Comprehend and Translate are now available. Transcribe and Translate remain in preview. Amazon Rekognition Video Rekognition Video can identify faces, scenes, and activities in real time video. This includes video stored in the cloud, as well as live-streamed video. The service’s release comes one-year after AWS first introduced the Rekognition service. This service identifies objects in static images. According to AWS, the service uses deep learning to “accurately identify, track, recognize and extract, and moderate thousands more objects, faces and content from a YouTube video.” Rekognition Video can also understand context, which allows Jassy to call “person tracking,” which allows the service to track a person’s location even if they are hidden in a shot. Amazon Transcribe – As the name suggests, Transcribe converts audio files stored on Amazon S3 (it supports common formats such as.WAV or.MP3) into precise, time-stamped transcripts. It basically performs the reverse function for Amazon Polly, which AWS also announced a year ago. Jassy says Transcribe does more than just rote word-by–word transcription. It recognizes correct grammar and distinguishes between speakers. Amazon Translate is another service that’s appropriately named. This service can translate words in text-based formats to any language. The preview currently supports English, Spanish and French as well as German, Arabic, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, French and German. AWS blog post states that the Translate service allows businesses and organizations to expand their services and products in other countries. It allows consumers to access websites, information and resources in their preferred language through automated language translations. Customers can also engage in multiplayer chats, access information from consumer forums, look into educational documents, and get reviews about hotels, even if the resources are not in their native language. Amazon Comprehend Comprehend uses natural language processing to extract information such as subjects, key phrases and language. It can be used to analyze articles, reviews, and social media posts. Comprehend can also adapt to colloquialisms as well as language changes when exposed to more text. AWS stated in its announcement that Comprehend is capable of providing accurate coverage for a wide variety of scenarios, including intelligent document search, customer feedback analysis, and automatically organizing content.

re:Invent 2017 – AWS Partners Now Open for Networking Competency. AWS launched a new networking competency this week for AWS Partner Network (APN), members of which were invited to the re:Invent 2017 Global Partner Summit. AWS announced Tuesday that the new AWS Networking Competency was for APN partners who “provide network solutions that [help] customers develop, adopt, and deploy AWS applications.” “Networking Competency Partners offer a range of specialized solutions that are auto-scaled, aligned to cloud design principles, make it easier for customers to use networking features in [virtual private clouds]. The competency currently has 18 partners. It includes five categories: Technology for network connectivity, Direct Connect Integrated Partners and Direct Connect Infrastructure Partners, Technology for load balancers, Technology for network management, and Technology for Load Balancers. According to the competency datasheet, partners are allowed to apply for more than one category but must submit new applications each time. A partner must be registered as an advanced-tier Technology Partner under the APN to qualify for the AWS Networking Competency. Other requirements include:
A Business level+ Support Plan Refer to customers for projects that were completed in the last year. Depending on the category of partner applying, the number and type of references required will vary. AWS is a networking solution that’s available in at most two regions. According to the datasheet, “Deep working knowledge architecting network solutions…
re:Invent 2017 – Kubernetes Service, No-Fuss Container Delivery Come to AWS Amazon Web Services (AWS), made several container technology advancements this week at its reInvent conference. It announced its Elastic Container Service (EKS) for Kubernetes and unveiled a new container management system called Fargate. Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes AWS CEO Andy Jassy presented a preview of the Amazon EKS offering during Wednesday’s re:Invent keynote. He also stated that general availability is expected sometime in 2018. EKS is a managed service that helps developers run Kubernetes in AWS. It requires very little configuration. Jassy stated that EKS will automatically deploy Kubernetes masters to multiple availability zones to ensure high availability. It applies patches and updates automatically as a managed service. However, users can request more control over scheduling updates. Deepak Singh, general manager at AWS Container Services, wrote that it integrates with many AWS services including “Elastic load Balancing for load distribution and IAM for authentication,” Amazon VPC for isolation, AWS PrivateLink to private network access, AWS CloudTrail to log, and AWS PrivateLink for remote network access. Singh said that compatibility is a key feature of EKS. He added that Amazon EKS runs the upstream Kubernetes version, so you can use all existing plugins and tools from the Kubernetes Community. Applications running on Amazon EKS can be used in any Kubernetes environment. This allows you to easily migrate your Kubernetes app to Amazon EKS without any code changes. You can find more information about EKS, including how you can access the preview, here. AWS Fargate Jassy stated in the keynote that managed container services are great, but it would be great to be able to run containers without needing servers or clusters of them. AWS Fargate is a new container management tool that will free customers from the burden of managing container infrastructure. Fargate is now available in AWS’ Northern Virginia region. It “radically changes the way you can run containers,” Jassy stated. Randall Hunt, AWS Senior Technical Evangelist, shared more information about Fargate in a Wednesday blog post. Hunt explained that Fargate is a technology that allows containers to be used as a fundamental computing primitive without the need to manage the instances. You only need to create your container image, specify your CPU and memory requirements, and define your networking or IAM policies. Then, launch it. Fargate is already working with Amazon Elastic Container Service for Docker. Support for EKS will be added in 2018. Pricing is determined on an as-needed basis. More information can be found here.

re:Invent 2017 – EC2 Gets New EC2 Instances That Cover General and Big Data Workloads Amazon Web Services introduced two new EC2 instance family families at reInvent 2017. The new M5 instances were created for general-purpose workloads with higher performance requirements than the “M” instances. According to Jeff Barr, AWS evangelist, the M5 instances are powered by custom Intel Xeon Platinum 8175M Series processors. They have a 14 percent higher price-to-performance ratio than the M4. There are six sizes available in the M5 range. The smallest model has 8GiB RAM and supports two virtual CPUs (vCPUs), while the largest model has 384GiB RAM and support for 96 of them. The complete lineup can be found in the table below: The new lineup of M5 instances. Source: AWS/Jeff Barr. The M5 instances are currently available in AWS’ Northern Virginia and Oregon regions. More regions will be added as they become available. AWS also released the H1 instance family, which is optimized for Big Data storage and dense storage. The H1 family is available in four sizes as shown in the table. It is optimized for Big Data workloads like “MapReduce clusters [and] host-distributed file systems,” Barr stated in a separate post. The H1 instance family. Source: AWS/Jeff Barr. The H1 instances are powered by Intel Xeon E5-2686 v4 processors. They “provide more vCPUs, more memory per terabyte local magnetic storage, alongwith increased network bandwidth” than the D2 dense-storage instances. The H1 instances can be supported in AWS’ Northern Virginia and Oregon, Ohio, and Ireland regions. The M5 and H1 instances were released on the heels the I3 instance’s debut, the first instance to use AWS’ new bare metal hypervisor. This instance was also made available as a preview at reInvent this week. More information from AWS reInvent 2017:
