As a technologist, it’s virtually second nature to return throughout new issues
and instantly suppose—how do I mix the best set of instruments and
applied sciences to unravel this puzzle? It’s thrilling to think about the way you
may use basic constructing blocks like EC2, S3, and Lambda to unravel
advanced issues. But it surely’s much more superb to think about the vary of
issues you’ll be able to clear up utilizing the identical blocks. For instance, S3 could possibly be
the cornerstone of 1 buyer’s knowledge lake and a low-cost archive for
one other.
The cloud has made it doable for firms of each measurement to have
entry to the identical highly effective instruments, whereas giving them the flexibleness to
implement these instruments nonetheless they see match. A part of my position at AWS has
been to journey around the globe to talk with pioneering firms and
find out how they’ve assembled totally different applied sciences to unravel their distinctive
challenges.
In 2018, we created the Now Go Construct
collection to shine a
highlight on only a fraction of the unbelievable 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 Construct. 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 firms utilizing AWS to deal with some actually laborious human
issues—Nanom, an organization making use of superior nanotechnology to power
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 out there to look at right now:
In episode 2, we communicate with Hawaii-based Terraformation to find out how
they’re serving to to handle local weather change by accelerating and scaling
the restoration of native forests. The thought of huge reforestation could
sound simple, however beneath the floor, it’s a advanced
geoengineering drawback that requires each technological excellence and a
deep understanding of the nuances of the pure world. And naturally,
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 achieved with the
assist of AWS.
This season of Now Go Construct was an amazing enterprise, and as of this
writing, we’ve already began partaking with the subsequent set of firms
for the second half of this season. I’m excited to proceed to share
these tales with the broader neighborhood and sit up for seeing the
advanced and numerous methods firms are combining applied sciences to supply
distinctive and novel options.
You may go right here to see
all of the Now Go Construct episodes we’ve finished up to now, or re-watch a few of
your favorites.
Now Go Construct!
