10X Your Storage Performance with Amazon S3 Express One Zone and Infrastructure as Code

At AWS re:Invent 2023, AWS announced the new Amazon S3 Express One Zone storage class. This new service provides incredible performance by collocating your S3 buckets closer to the workloads that use the data. Compared to the S3 Standard storage class, the Express One Zone storage class is up to 10X faster, handles 100,000s of requests per second, offers single-digit millisecond latency, and can reduce request costs by 50%. This can be extremely beneficial for data-intensive workloads such as AI/ML, media, finance, realtime, and high-performance computing scenarios. This blog post shows how to get started with Amazon S3 Express One Zone using Pulumi infrastructure as code.

AI in DevOps | AI Talks for DevOps Overview

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with DevOps signals a new era in software development. DevOps possesses unique characteristics and needs that make it exceptionally compatible with AI augmentation. Given that code fundamentally relies on language, and large language models (LLMs) serve as the core of GPT functionality, these models are particularly well-suited for tasks such as code generation. This article unwraps the topics addressed during our “AI: Friends or Foe | AI Talks for DevOps” event in San Francisco.
