In November, Amazon Web Services announced that it would launch a new AWS infrastructure region in South Korea. For example, Samsung Electronic Printing used AWS to deploy its Printing Apps Center in a way that didn’t require them to invest up-front capital and kept total costs quite low.

Today, I am excited to announce plans for Amazon Web Services (AWS) to bring an infrastructure Region to the Middle East! Based in Bahrain, this will be the first Region for AWS in the Middle East. This Region will consist of three Availability Zones at launch, and it will provide even lower latency to users across the Middle East.

My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory.

This is sometimes referred to as using an “over-cloud” model that involves a centrally managed resource pool that spans all parts of a connected global network with internal connections between regional borders, such as two instances in IAD-ORD for NYC-JS webpage DNS routing. This also aids scalability down the line.

Clouds using Ethernet that are multipath optimized using libfabric and features like EFA on AWS are going to be increasingly competitive, and Ethernet will replace other interconnects between racks. AWS has invested in optimizing Ethernet for HPC via the Elastic Fabric Adaptor (EFA) option, and the l ibfabric library.

After all, we’ve been doing that forever with the 2nd-level cache of ORMs , and it is highly encouraged in e.g. the AWS Lambda programming model — which was born on the cloud— to help mitigate function start-up times.

For example, the most fundamental abstraction trade-off has always been latency versus throughput. General Purpose GPU programming. From CPU to GPU.

When using relational databases, traversing relationships requires expensive table JOIN operations, causing significantly increased latency as table size and query complexity grow. Like many AWS innovations, the desire to build a solution for a scalable graph database came from Amazon’s retail business. Enter graph databases.

Though the AWS Cloud gives you access to the storage and processing power required for ML, the process for building, training, and deploying ML models has unique challenges that often block successful use of this powerful new technology. At AWS, we believe in giving choices, so Amazon SageMaker removes that problem.

I should have remembered that describing a PC as a “heterogeneous cluster in a box” is a big red button for people, in particular because “cluster” implies “parts can fail and program should continue.” As I answered there, I half agree – it’s true but it’s only half the story, and it doesn’t affect the programming model (see more below).
