#601: AWS Verified Access
Responsible for secure access to your corporate applications? Hear from Product Management Lead Shovan Das as he discusses a new simplified and secure remote connectivity option on AWS. Built on Zero Trust guiding principles, AWS Verified Access is a service that can be used to validate every application request before granting access. Verified Access removes the need for a VPN, which simplifies the remote connectivity experience for end users and reduces the management complexity for IT administrators.

#600: Amazon SageMaker Multi Model Endpoints
Amazon SageMaker Multi-Model Endpoint (MME) is fully managed capability of SageMaker Inference that allows customers to deploy thousands of models on a single endpoint and save costs by sharing instances on which the endpoints run across all the models. Until recently, MME was only supported for machine learning (ML) models which run on CPU instances. Now, customers can use MME to deploy thousands of ML models on GPU based instances as well, and potentially save costs by 90%. MME dynamically loads and unloads models from GPU memory based on incoming traffic to the endpoint. Customers save cost with MME as the GPU instances are shared by thousands of models. Customers can run ML models from multiple ML frameworks including PyTorch, TensorFlow, XGBoost, and ONNX. Customers can get started by using the NVIDIA Triton™ Inference Server and deploy models on SageMaker’s GPU instances in “multi-model“ mode. Once the MME is created, customers specify the ML model from which they want to obtain inference while invoking the endpoint. Multi Model Endpoints for GPU is available in all AWS regions where Amazon SageMaker is available.

#599: Amazon EC2 Hpc7g Instances
How can you build designs faster and predict the weather more efficiently? How can you can carry out complex calculations across HPC clusters using up to tens of thousands of cores with high performance and lower costs? In this podcast, Heidi Poxon, Principal HPC Technologist, talks about using high performance computing (HPC) for a range of use cases from building designs for aircraft and race cars to climate modeling. You’ll learn about newly launched Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Hpc7g instances, powered by AWS Graviton processors, which are custom Arm-based processors designed by Amazon Web Services (AWS). With these instances you can scale your HPC clusters to run compute-intensive workloads such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), weather forecasting, and molecular dynamics.

#593: AWS Glue Data Quality
Hundreds of thousands of customers build data lakes everyday and these data lakes can quickly become data swamps if they dont pay attention to the data quality. Setting up data quality can be a time-consuming, tedious process. Shiv Narayanan, Product Manager for AWS Glue chats with (Name) about the launch of AWS Glue Data Quality. AWS Glue Data Quality Quality builds confidence in your data by ensuring high data quality. It automatically measures, monitors, and manages data quality in your data lakes and data pipelines, so it’s easy to identify missing, stale, or bad data. Take the steps to make your data lake crystal clear.
