As a technologist, it’s virtually second nature to come back throughout new issues
and instantly suppose—how do I mix the appropriate set of instruments and
applied sciences to resolve this puzzle? It’s thrilling to think about the way you
may use basic constructing blocks like EC2, S3, and Lambda to resolve
complicated issues. Nevertheless it’s much more superb to think about the vary of
issues you may remedy utilizing the identical blocks. For instance, S3 might be
the cornerstone of 1 buyer’s information lake and a low-cost archive for
one other.
The cloud has made it potential for firms of each dimension to have
entry to the identical highly effective instruments, whereas giving them the flexibleness to
implement these instruments nevertheless 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 resolve their distinctive
challenges.
In 2018, we created the Now Go Construct
collection to shine a
highlight on only a fraction of the implausible 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
progressive firms utilizing AWS to sort out some actually arduous human
issues—Nanom, an organization making use of superior nanotechnology to vitality
storage, and Kerecis, which makes use of pores and skin from the ample Atlantic cod
present in Icelandic waters to create fish-skin grafts that assist heal
wounds. This episode is obtainable to observe at this time:
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 thought of huge reforestation could
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 naturally,
some attention-grabbing 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 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 participating with the following set of firms
for the second half of this season. I’m excited to proceed to share
these tales with the broader group and sit up for seeing the
complicated and numerous methods firms 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 executed thus far, or re-watch a few of
your favorites.
Now Go Construct!
