Did you know that the effective use of data and machine learning (ML) could help win gold medals? Explore how Swimming Australia—the governing body for swimming in Australia and an AWS customer—stood up a data lake to provide its coaches with a detailed analysis of each swimmer’s performance. Ultimately, this is a story about using data and ML to gain a meaningful advantage in one of the most competitive endeavors on the planet. If that’s what AWS did for this team, imagine what it can do for yours. Watch the original AWS video. https://lnkd.in/dFc7aitw

Doesn't matter the scale, mistakes do happen. As solutions architects, we need to always design for failure and never trust a single entity blindly, even if it's Google. Takeaway from this incident: It is better to have another backup with an alternative service provider along with the primary backup & save yourself from an outage. #cloudcomputing #googlecloud #aws #gcp #cloud #technology

This week when sun is playing hide and seek, what would you do get if you write to ChatGPT, "What's the weather in Sydney?". A disappointing answer of "I can't provide real-time information.." and you probably know why? Because their information is not up to date unless they are connected with the external sources (also known as Plugins). Next week, I'll show you how to bridge these gaps with Semantic Kernel, enhancing LLMs with the capability to connect with the ever-changing stream of information and stay as updated as Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini and the likes. Come and say hello! 👋

Next time you think backups are not important, just remember the time when Google Cloud accidentally deleted an entire cloud environment for an investment company managing over $80 billion. Luckily, they had extra backups with another cloud provider. https://lnkd.in/ej_H5rr2 #gitops #devops #devsecops #devopsengineer

I just noticed the exciting news from our Instaclustr by NetApp Apache Kafka team (posted today, July 4th in Australia!) about our new Kafka tiered storage feature (public preview) here https://lnkd.in/g79MK_PJ This basically answers the age-old question of "Is Kafka a streaming platform or a database?" with "both" (at least for time series data) and will open up potentially a whole bunch of different use cases for streaming historic data (e.g. ML training and replaying data into new sink systems via Kafka connect) but I'm sure there are more! I was interested in the potential for improvements in Kafka client and cluster performance due to the optimisation of real-time and historic workloads and improvement to cluster operations (e.g. broker recovery operations)! Great work team! I'm sure there will be plenty of opportunities to try this out and do some performance/scalability experiments and even performance modelling/predictions in the future.

iMonitor MES helps plug the gaps for manufacturers, powering up smart manufacturing processes which enables them to remove their reliance on manual intervention. These gaps typically exist between ‘Information Technology(IT) and Operational Technology(OT)’ as the data is almost always collected manually and then entered retrospectively in ERP platforms.
