Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence(AI) are two hot catchphrases in the technology arena. ML is the subset of AI, based on the idea of providing data to machines and let them learn for themselves.

With the AWS powered ML and AI, the NextGen MSP can provide scalable infrastructure,  and deploy solutions through machine learning platforms for seamless deployment and consolidated billing.  The ML and AI positioned Enterprise Architecture for the businesses, provides faster analytics, decision making, more interaction between technology and business, reliability, and leverage for creative inexistence services.

We have frameworks for launching Infrastructure, Software, Network, and Applications. The Open Group Architecture Framework is all about the delivery part. Let’s look at the importance of Enterprise Architecture and the comparison between Traditional and NextGen Open Group Architecture.

Enterprise Architecture methodology is critical to align the concerns between IT and Business. Enterprise Architecture is the core behind any organizations productivity, agility, service, growth in revenue and cost efficiency.

The Traditional Enterprise Architecture rely upon one operating model and emphasis interdependency. For an enterprise, there will be a mix of multiple frameworks which is a long term commitment with continuous improvement.

The NextGen Enterprise Architecture methodology is a pluggable architecture comprising of dynamic compute resources, common storage platform, flexible programming, real-time support, and managing deployment. The NextGen Architecture model is a business focused model that combines both enterprise architecture and business architecture, business process management, and decision management.

The core features of NextGen Architecture is Instant customization of Network parser, application of complex rules to live network traffic, unlimited scalability and captures everything in the infrastructure, threat feeds and API

The NextGen Architecture is to communicate in real time, for that 90% of the running applications, software and servers have to be automated completely. It empowers the businesses to have a high level of flexibility, activity monitoring and actionable insights on the cost utilization. It integrates and automates solutions that enable users to plug and play experience.

The AWS powered billing and cost management ensures you pay for what you use. The AWS provides features to monitor the usage, along with the pricing calculator which could be utilized to create price estimates. The AWS has a very transparent pricing model which helps the businesses to allocate the respective budget for cloud computing.

Amazon SageMaker now supports version 1.10 in its pre-built TensorFlow containers. This makes it easier to run TensorFlow scripts, while taking advantage of the capabilities Amazon SageMaker offers, including a library of high-performance algorithms, managed and distributed training with automatic model tuning, one-click deployment, and managed hosting.

AWS CloudFormation Macros perform custom processing on CloudFormation templates from simple actions such as find-and-replace to transformation of entire templates. CloudFormation Macros use the same technology that powers AWS::Include and AWS::Serverless transforms. CloudFormation transforms help simplify template authoring by condensing the expression of AWS infrastructure as code and enabling reuse of template components.

Previously, you could use AWS::Include and AWS::Serverless transforms to process your templates that were hosted by CloudFormation. Now, you can use CloudFormation Macros to create your own custom transforms. For example, you can create common string functions for templates or define short-hand syntaxes for common CloudFormation resources. Click here to learn more about sample macros for your reference.

To learn more about CloudFormation Macros, please visit AWS CloudFormation documentation.

CloudFormation Macros are available in all AWS regions that have AWS Lambda. For a full list of AWS regions where AWS Lambda is available, please visit our Region table.

Starting today, you can enable persistent application and Windows settings for your users on AppStream 2.0. With this launch, your users’ plugins, toolbar settings, browser favorites, application connection profiles, and other settings will be saved and applied each time they start a streaming session. For example, your users can configure their plugins and toolbars for their CAD/CAM applications, and retain those settings every time they stream their application. Your users’ settings are stored in an S3 bucket you control in your AWS account.

To get started, select Stacks from the AppStream 2.0 console. Below the stacks list, choose User Settings, Application Settings Persistence, Edit. In the Application Settings Persistence dialog box, choose Enable Application Settings Persistence. To learn more about persistent application settings, see Enable Application Settings Persistence for Your AppStream 2.0 Users.

You can enable persistent application settings for your users at no additional charge in all AWS Regions where AppStream 2.0 is offered. However, you will be billed for the S3 storage used to store your user’s settings data. To use this feature, the AppStream 2.0 agent software on your image must be dated August 29, 2018 or newer. AppStream 2.0 offers pay-as-you-go pricing. Please see Amazon AppStream 2.0 Pricing for more information, and try our sample applications.

AWS Config, a service that enables you to assess, audit, and evaluate the configurations of your AWS resources, announces seven new managed rules to help you evaluate whether your AWS resource configurations comply with common best practices. This allows you to simplify compliance auditing, security analysis, change management, and operational troubleshooting.

Amazon S3 announces feature enhancements to S3 Select. S3 Select is an Amazon S3 capability designed to pull out only the data you need from an object, which can dramatically improve the performance and reduce the cost of applications that need to access data in S3.

Today, Amazon S3 Select works on objects stored in CSV and JSON format. Based on customer feedback, we’re happy to announce S3 Select support for Apache Parquet format, JSON Arrays, and BZIP2 compression for CSV and JSON objects. We are also adding support for CloudWatch Metrics for S3 Select, which lets you monitor S3 Select usage for your applications. 

Starting today, C5d instances are available in the AWS Asia Pacific (Sydney) and Asia Pacific (Tokyo) Regions. C5d instances were first introduced in May 2018 and delivers C5 instances equipped with local NVMe-based SSD block level storage physically connected to the host server. C5d instances provide high-performance block storage for applications that need access to high-speed, low latency local storage like video encoding, image manipulation and other forms of media processing. It will also benefit applications that need temporary storage of data, such as batch and log processing and applications that need caches and scratch files.
