As a technologist, it’s nearly second nature to return throughout new issues
and instantly suppose—how do I mix the correct set of instruments and
applied sciences to resolve this puzzle? It’s thrilling to think about the way you
might use basic constructing blocks like EC2, S3, and Lambda to resolve
advanced issues. However it’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 measurement 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 position at AWS has
been to journey world wide to talk with pioneering corporations and
find out how they’ve assembled totally different applied sciences to resolve their distinctive
challenges.
In 2018, we created the Now Go Construct
sequence to shine a
highlight on only a fraction of the improbable 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 corporations utilizing AWS to sort out some actually laborious 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 offered to observe at present:
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 concept of large reforestation could
sound easy, however beneath the floor, it’s a advanced
geoengineering downside 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 wonderful to see what BETA has achieved with the
assist of AWS.
This season of Now Go Construct was an incredible endeavor, and as of this
writing, we’ve already began partaking with the subsequent set of corporations
for the second half of this season. I’m excited to proceed to share
these tales with the broader group and stay up for seeing the
advanced and various methods corporations are combining applied sciences to provide
distinctive and novel options.
You may go right here to see
all of the Now Go Construct episodes we’ve achieved thus far, or re-watch a few of
your favorites.
Now Go Construct!
