Feed: What's New. Author: Erin Gengo, Robert Bloom. As we reimagined data management across all of Tableau, we identified five pillars for the  migration process framework that dovetailed well with our Snowflake selection criteria, and would thereby increase trust and confidence in the data that everyone uses. These pillars are: staffing, governance, authentication, communication, and documentation.  We’ll first discuss staffing, governance, and authentication in this post, highlighting some key lessons learned, unexpected issues with responses, and recommendations to consider when migrating and tackling data sets—large or small, simple or complex. Staffing We don’t want to sugar-coat the complex undertaking of ... Read More

Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: Vitess; IntroductionIn this blog, I would like to explore Vitess Operator for Kubernetes. This post demonstrates the sample implementation of Vitess in Kubernetes topology. I also explore common DBA tasks by demonstrating how they are handled in the Vitess ecosystem. Vitess, out of the box, comes with a lot of tools and utilities that one has to either incorporate or develop to manage MySQL topology. Let’s take a look at the capabilities of Vitess in these areas and demonstrate how they are performed under the operator realm.PrerequisitesGKE AccountKubectlMySQL ClientInstall vtctlclient locallygo get vitess.io/vitess/go/cmd/vtctlclientDownload the Operator example ...

Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: Vitess; Previously posted on link at Nov 3, 2020.Traditionally, MySQL has been used to power most of the backend services at Bolt. We’ve designed our schemas in a way that they’re sharded into different MySQL clusters. Each MySQL cluster contains a subset of data and consists of one primary and multiple replication nodes.Once data is persisted to the database, we use the Debezium MySQL Connector to capture data change events and send them to Kafka. This gives us an easy and reliable way to communicate changes between back-end microservices.Vitess at BoltBolt has grown considerably over the ... Read More

Feed: Microsoft Azure Blog. Author: Noelle Walsh. Earlier this year, we made a commitment to shift to 100 percent renewable energy supply in our buildings and datacenters by 2025. On this journey, we recognize that how we track our progress is just as important as how we get there. Today, we are announcing that Microsoft will be the first hyperscale cloud provider to track hourly energy consumption and renewable energy matching in a commercial product using the Vattenfall 24/7 Matching solution for our new datacenter regions in Sweden, which will be available in 2021. Vattenfall and Microsoft are also announcing ... Read More

Feed: AWS Big Data Blog. The machine learning (ML) lifecycle consists of several key phases: data collection, data preparation, feature engineering, model training, model evaluation, and model deployment. The data preparation and feature engineering phases ensure an ML model is given high-quality data that is relevant to the model’s purpose. Because most raw datasets require multiple cleaning steps (such as addressing missing values and imbalanced data) and numerous data transformations to produce useful features ready for model training, these phases are often considered the most time-consuming in the ML lifecycle. Additionally, producing well-prepared training datasets has typically required extensive knowledge ... Read More
