As a technologist, it’s nearly second nature to come back throughout new issues
and instantly suppose—how do I mix the precise set of instruments and
applied sciences to unravel this puzzle? It’s thrilling to think about the way you
might use basic constructing blocks like EC2, S3, and Lambda to unravel
advanced issues. But it surely’s much more wonderful to think about the vary of
issues you’ll be able to clear up utilizing the identical blocks. For instance, S3 may very well be
the cornerstone of 1 buyer’s knowledge lake and a low-cost archive for
one other.
The cloud has made it doable for corporations of each dimension to have
entry to the identical highly effective instruments, whereas giving them the pliability to
implement these instruments nonetheless they see match. A part of my function at AWS has
been to journey world wide to talk with pioneering corporations and
learn the way they’ve assembled completely 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 following 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 deal with some really arduous 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 on the market to observe right now:
In episode 2, we converse with Hawaii-based Terraformation to learn the way
they’re serving to to deal with local weather change by accelerating and scaling
the restoration of native forests. The thought of large reforestation could
sound easy, 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 finding out wind resistance and electric-powered
propulsion to the mechanics of really constructing the aircraft and charging
infrastructure, it’s wonderful 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 following set of corporations
for the second half of this season. I’m excited to proceed to share
these tales with the broader neighborhood and look ahead to seeing the
advanced and various methods corporations are combining applied sciences to provide
distinctive and novel options.
You possibly can go right here to see
all of the Now Go Construct episodes we’ve completed thus far, or re-watch a few of
your favorites.
Now Go Construct!
