Feed: AWS Big Data Blog. Apache Spark is a powerful data processing engine that gives data analyst and engineering teams easy to use APIs and tools to analyze their data, but it can be challenging for teams to manage their Python and R library dependencies. Installing every dependency that a job may need before it runs and dealing with library version conflicts is time-consuming and complicated. Amazon EMR 6.0.0 simplifies this by allowing you to use Docker images from Docker Hub and Amazon ECR to package your dependencies. This allows you to package and manage your dependencies for individual Spark ... Read More

Feed: Big Data Made Simple. Author: Philip Piletic. Perhaps the single biggest problem with data lakes is the fact that it seems like nobody can clearly define what they’re best used for. Computer scientists will say that a data lake is nothing more than a repository of data that’s stored in a natural raw format, but that definition sounds awfully close to a file system. There’s no reason that server managers will want to explore some exotic solution when a Btrfs volume or an Apache Flafka implementation would do the job.That being said, there are a number of reasons you’d ...

By Scott Kellish, Partner Solutions Architects at AWSBy Basil Faruqui, Principal Solutions Marketing Manager at BMC Digital Business AutomationBy Joe Goldberg, Innovation Evangelist at BMCPredictive maintenance, which analyzes sensor data to predict equipment failures, has emerged as one of the most common business use cases of machine learning (ML) and the Internet of Things (IoT). To build and train ML models, you need data science expertise. If you’re going to run those ML models in production at scale, you need data engineering expertise to build a pipeline for data ingestion, storage, ... Read More

With petabytes of data accumulated over 20 years, and more being generated each day, it was imperative for Seagate to have systems in place to ensure the cost of collecting, storing, and processing data did not exceed their return on investment (ROI). Seagate’s on-premises big data ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: William Vorhies. Summary:  An interesting documentary about the earliest days of AI/ML and my alternate take on how we should really be describing the development of our profession to the newly initiated. What could be more natural in these days of the Corona Virus than binge watching great videos.  I was intrigued by a recent offer from Futurology who has sponsored “The History of Artificial Intelligence” on YouTube for free viewing.  The two-and-a-half-hour video is described as "the culmination of documentaries that cover the history and origins of computing-based artificial intelligence." ...

By Rupesh Kothapalli, AWS Architect/DevOps Engineer at BizCloud ExpertsBy Nagesh Kunamneni, Chief Technical Officer at BizCloud ExpertsEnterprises don’t require just any data to help them improve their business decisions—they require the right kind of data. You need to ask the right questions in the right way to get the answers you’re looking for, and in a form you can use. Though it sounds simple, developing those questions for massive amounts of data can be a daunting task. To deal with this challenge, data scientists typically employ MapReduce tools like ...

By Lovan Chetty, VP Product at CazenaBy Jacob Cokely, ISV Workload Migration Program PDM at AWSBy Dan Taoka, ISV Workload Migration Program PSA at AWSAre you thinking of migrating to an Apache Hadoop and Spark cluster or data lake for analytics on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud? You’re not alone. Companies migrate data and analytics workloads to AWS for a variety of reasons, including significant skills shortages for managing complex stacks in on-premises data centers. Running Hadoop, Spark, and related technologies in the cloud provides the flexibility required by these ... Read More

Summary:  Mid-career switching into data science is difficult.  But if you already have substantial data base experience becoming a Data Engineer can be a great career by itself, or even the first stepping stone to becoming a Data Scientist. One of the most common requests we get is for advice on mid-career switching into data science.  About you:  You’ve got 5 or 10 years invested in some other line of work.  That can vary from sales to engineering to computer science.  You have work experience that means you no ...

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Janardhanan PS. If you have learned temporal parallelism used to speed up CPU execution, you came across instruction pipelines aka pipeline processing. In pipeline processing, you will have many instructions in different stages of execution. The term "Data Pipeline" is a misnomer representing a high bandwidth communication channel used for data transportation between a source system and a destination. In certain cases the destination is called a sink. Pipelines by definition allow flow of a fluid automatically from one end to the other end, when one end is connected to a ... Read More

Superadas las mismas, aquí estoy de regreso. No les diré que muuuuuuchos seguidores al estilo de Wos pidieron a gritos mi regreso, pero he de decirles que ante mi sorpresa varias personas del mercado informático me preguntaron por qué no seguía escribiendo. Ya que mencioné a Wos (tremendo cantautor rapero) les cuento que, vueltas de la vida de por medio, lo conocí en la panza de su mamá. Y su aparición me resultó de una ... Read More
