Welcome to episode 252 of The Cloud Pod podcast, where the forecast is always cloudy! This week Justin, Jonathan, Ryan, and Matthew are talking about InfluxDB, collabs between AWS and NVIDIA, some personnel changes over at Microsoft, Amazon Timestream, and so much more! Sit back and enjoy - and make sure to hang around for the aftershow, where Linux and DBOS are on the docket. You won’t want to miss it.
Titles we almost went with this week:
• Light a fire under your Big Queries with Spark procedures
• All your NVIDIA GPU belong to AWS
• Thanks, EU for Free Data Transfer for all*
• Microsoft, Inflection, Mufasta, Scar… this is not the Lion King Sequel I expected
• The Cloud Pod sees Inflections in the Timestream
• The Cloud Pod is a palindrome
• The Cloudpod loves SQL so much we made a OS out of it
• Lets run SQL on Kubernetes on Top of DBOS. What could go wrong?
• The Cloud Pod is 5 7 5 long
A big thanks to this week’s sponsor:
We’re sponsorless this week! Interested in sponsoring us and having access to a specialized and targeted market? We’d love to talk to you. Send us an email or hit us up on our Slack Channel. Please. We’re not above begging. Ok. Maybe Ryan is. But the rest of us? Absolutely not.
AI Is Going Great (Or, How ML Makes All Its Money)
1:00 PSYCH! We’re giving this segment a break this week. YOU’RE WELCOME.
AWS
01:08 Anthropic’s Claude 3 Haiku model is now available on Amazon Bedrock (aws.amazon.com...)
• Last week Claude 3 Sonnet was available on Bedrock, this week Claude 3 Haiku is available on Bedrock. (aws.amazon.com...)
• The Haiku model is the fastest and most compact mode of the Claude 3 family (docs.aws.amazo...) , designed for near-instant responsiveness and seamless generative AI experiences that mimic human interaction.
• We assume, thanks to how much Amazon is stretching this out, that next week we’ll get Opus.
• Want to check it out for yourself? Head over to the Bedrock console (console.aws.am...) .
02:02 Jonathan - “I haven’t tried Haiku, but I’ve played with Sonnet a lot for pre over the past week. It’s very good. It’s much better conversationally. I mean, I’m not talking about technical things. It’s like I ask all kinds of random philosophical questions or whatever, just to kind of explore what it can do, what it knows…If I was going to spend money on OpenAI or Anthropic, it would be on Anthropic right now.”
04:03 AWS Pi Day 2024: Use your data to power generative AI (aws.amazon.com...)
• 3.14 just passed us by last week, and Amazon was back with a live steam on Twitch where they explored AWS storage (aws.amazon.com...) from data lakes to High Performance Storage, and how to transform your data strategy to become the starting point for Generative AI.
• As always they announced several new storage features in honor of pi day (pages.awscloud...) , including S3 (aws.amazon.com...) connectors for Pytorch (github.com/aws...) , S3 on Outposts (aws.amazon.com...) , the S3 CSI Driver (docs.aws.amazo...) for Bottlerocket (aws.amazon.com...) and EFS file system (aws.amazon.com...) throughput increases by 2x (docs.aws.amazo...) .
04:49 Ryan - “So what’s awesome about that CSI driver is that we can run a SQL server in Kubernetes with the files being stored in S3 for all that. It’ll be awesome!”
07:41 Run and manage open source InfluxDB databases with Amazon Timestream (aws.amazon.com...)
•
• You can now use InfluxDB (www.influxdata...) as the database engine behind Amazon Timestream (aws.amazon.com...) .
• This support makes it easy for you to run near real-time time-series applications using Influxdb and open source APIs, including open source telegraf agents that collect time-series observations.
• This is the second engine supported in Timestream, with the first now being known as Timestream f...
