As a technologist, it’s nearly second nature to come back throughout new issues
and instantly suppose—how do I mix the suitable set of instruments and
applied sciences to unravel this puzzle? It’s thrilling to contemplate the way you
might use elementary constructing blocks like EC2, S3, and Lambda to unravel
complicated issues. But it’s much more superb to contemplate the vary of
issues you may remedy utilizing the identical blocks. For instance, S3 might be
the cornerstone of 1 buyer’s knowledge lake and a low-cost archive for
one other.
The cloud has made it attainable for corporations of each dimension to have
entry to the identical highly effective instruments, whereas giving them the flexibleness to
implement these instruments nonetheless they see match. Part of my position at AWS has
been to journey world wide to talk with pioneering corporations and
find out how they’ve assembled totally different applied sciences to unravel their distinctive
challenges.
In 2018, we created the Now Go Build
sequence to shine a
highlight on only a fraction of the incredible tales I hear about each
day. With that in thoughts, I’m excited to share extra tales with the
launch of Season 3 of Now Go Build. I encourage everybody to take a look at
the movies as they’re launched over the subsequent few months, however here’s a
sneak preview of the primary three episodes:
In episode 1 of this new season, we go to Iceland to speak with two
modern corporations utilizing AWS to sort out some really exhausting human
issues—Nanom, an organization making use of superior nanotechnology to vitality
storage, and Kerecis, which makes use of pores and skin from the considerable Atlantic cod
present in Icelandic waters to create fish-skin grafts that assist heal
wounds. This episode is on the market to observe at present:
In episode 2, we communicate with Hawaii-based Terraformation to find out how
they’re serving to to deal with local weather change by accelerating and scaling
the restoration of native forests. The concept of large reforestation might
sound simple, however beneath the floor, it’s a complicated
geoengineering downside that requires each technological excellence and a
deep understanding of the nuances of the pure world. And after all,
some fascinating use of the cloud.
For episode 3, we journey to Vermont to speak with BETA about their
mission to construct an electrical airplane able to each vertical takeoff
and touchdown. From learning wind resistance and electric-powered
propulsion to the mechanics of really constructing the airplane and charging
infrastructure, it’s superb to see what BETA has completed with the
assist of AWS.
This season of Now Go Build was an amazing enterprise, and as of this
writing, we’ve already began participating with the subsequent set of corporations
for the second half of this season. I’m excited to proceed to share
these tales with the broader neighborhood and stay up for seeing the
complicated and various methods corporations are combining applied sciences to supply
distinctive and novel options.
You can go right here to see
all of the Now Go Build episodes we’ve performed up to now, or re-watch a few of
your favorites.
