16% of respondents working with AI are using open source models. Many of the new open source models are much smaller and not as resource intensive but still deliver good results (especially when trained for a specific application). But 18% already have applications in production. Or is there still room for growth?

Now that Database-as-a-service (DBaaS) is in high demand, there are multiple questions regarding AWS services that cannot always be answered easily: When should I use Aurora and when should I use RDS MySQL ? Amazon Aurora is a proprietary, cloud-native, fully managed relational database service developed by Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Figure 1: PMM Home Dashboard From the Amazon Web Services (AWS) documentation , an instance is considered over-provisioned when at least one specification of your instance, such as CPU, memory, or network, can be sized down while still meeting the performance requirements of your workload and no specification is under-provisioned.

Percona Backup for MongoDB is a custom-built backup utility designed to cater to the needs of users who don’t want to pay for proprietary software but require a fully supported community backup tool capable of performing cluster-wide consistent backups in MongoDB. This is because the setting has no use in modern PCIe/NVMe devices.

Each cloud-native evolution is about using the hardware more efficiently. Maybe start investing into open source alternatives rather than complaining they don't already exist? For example, AWS created Nitro. Would Nitro have been invented if AWS was restricted to being a platform provider?

At AWS, we continue to strive to enable builders to build cutting-edge technologies faster in a secure, reliable, and scalable fashion. Now, thousands of customers are trying Amazon SageMaker and building ML models on top of their data lakes in AWS. In machine learning, more is usually more. This sounds like a pipe dream.

This key/value store acts as the single source of truth for all information on the cluster (state, and all changes to state transitions) are entered and stored here. To be robust and scalable, this key/value store needs to be distributed for durability and availability, to protect against network partitions or hardware failures.

We don’t talk about energy as often as we probably should on this blog, but it’s certainly true that our data centres and various IT systems consume an awful lot of it.
