Part 1 – Scaling for Complexity – Architecting for Performant Embedded Devices at the Edge – Part 1 Provisioning LayerThe provisioning layer of your IoT workloads consists of the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) used to create unique device identities and the application workflow that provides configuration data to the device. The provisioning layer is also involved with ongoing maintenance and eventual decommissioning of devices ... Read More

Feed: The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog. Author: Channa Samynathan. The following is a survey paper, published and presented to the Academic Congress of Embedded World 2022 at Nuremberg, Germany on June 21st 2022. Abstract Embedded edge devices with multi-sensor data sources are proliferating at an accelerating rate. Devices must be designed, manufactured, installed, connected, and controlled through seven distinct logical layers to securely connect and interact with complementary cloud-based and edge-based components to deliver business value. These Internet of Things (IoT) applications must gather, process, analyze, and act on data generated by the connected devices. In ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling now supports a higher default limit for Auto Scaling groups per account. Customers can now create up to 500 Auto Scaling Groups per account, an increase from 200. The limit increase enables customers to provision, manage, and scale EC2 instances for more applications per account ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. Amazon Elastic Container Services (Amazon ECS) provides a Cluster Auto Scaling (CAS) capability to dynamically manage the scaling of your Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Auto Scaling groups (ASG) on your behalf, so that you can focus on running your containers. Capacity Providers is the compute interface that links your Amazon ECS cluster with your ASG. With Capacity Providers, you can define flexible rules for how containerized workloads run on different types of compute capacity, and manage the scaling of the capacity. Capacity Providers improve the availability, scalability, and cost of running tasks and services on ECS ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. Starting today, when you create a new predictive scaling policy, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling goes back 14 days to generate capacity forecasts for the past dates, enabling you to see how predictive scaling would have scaled your Auto Scaling group. This allows you to quickly decide if the predictive scaling policy is accurate for your applications by comparing the demand and capacity forecasts against the actuals immediately after you create a predictive scaling policy. Previously, you would have had to wait at least a few days after creating the policy to build up sufficient forecast history for the ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling now supports Predictive Scaling in the AWS GovCloud (US-West) Region. Predictive scaling can proactively scale out your Auto Scaling group to be ready for upcoming demand. This allows you to avoid the need to over-provision capacity, resulting in lower EC2 cost, while ensuring your application’s responsiveness. (Previously, Predictive Scaling was only available via AWS Auto Scaling Plans and only in public regions.) Support in the AWS GovCloud (US-West) Region allows U.S. government agencies and contractors to run sensitive workloads by addressing their specific regulatory and compliance requirements. Predictive Scaling is appropriate for applications ... Read More

Feed: AWS Big Data Blog. Data created in the cloud is growing fast in recent days, so scalability is a key factor in distributed data processing. Many customers benefit from the scalability of the AWS Glue serverless Spark runtime. Today, we’re pleased to announce the release of AWS Glue Auto Scaling, which helps you scale your AWS Glue Spark jobs automatically based on the requirements calculated dynamically during the job run, and accelerate job runs at lower cost without detailed capacity planning. Before AWS Glue Auto Scaling, you had to predict workload patterns in advance. For example, in cases when ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. You can now set a default instance warm-up time for all scaling activities, health check replacements, and other replacement events in the Auto Scaling instance lifecycle. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling is a service that allows you to automatically scale and manage logical groups of instances, known as Auto Scaling groups, that serve your application. EC2 Auto Scaling does this by monitoring various metrics, such as CPU utilization and application demand, to determine if an instance needs to be replaced, removed from, or added to your Auto Scaling group. Setting the default instance warm-up time parameter can simplify ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. When using the Amazon ECS service scheduler for running web and other long-running applications, you will be able to launch up to 500 tasks in under a minute per service, 16X faster than last year. Previously you would have waited for nearly 15 minutes to scale an application to 500 tasks at steady state. When running one-time or periodic batch jobs using ECS RunTask API, Fargate now allows customer accounts to burst up to 100 On-Demand or Spot tasks, with a sustained task launch rate of 20 tasks per second, 20X faster than last year. For example, ... Read More
