AWS re:Invent, which is one of the biggest technology conferences of the year, was recently held in Las Vegas.
AI was the focus of many of the sessions, demonstrations, and conversations at the conference, including Cloudera's acceleration of the development and deployment of AI models.
In an effort to reduce consumption and costs while improving performance for AI workloads, Cloudera is partnering with AWS to help mutual customers deploy sustainable AI solutions.
Most customers we spoke with at re:Invent are dealing with data stores across multiple clouds and on-premises environments, making distributed data a key consideration.
Apache Iceberg was everywhere at re:Invent, with big announcements from AWS, Cloudera, and others. Cloudera’s investment in and support for open metadata standards, our true hybrid architecture, and our native Spark offering for Iceberg combine to make them the ideal Iceberg data lakehouse.
Another important aspect when approaching AI is providing secure and governed access to trusted data, something that Cloudera's Shared Data Experience (SDX) helps to achieve.
Cloudera partnered with Mission Cloud to co-host IGNITE24, an event featuring Flo Rida, to celebrate the importance of working together to achieve something greater than the sum of its parts.
Events like these can be a reminder that, while the work of transforming businesses with data is challenging, it’s also an opportunity to connect, collaborate, and celebrate our shared journey.
In conclusion, the re:Invent conference provided valuable insights into the importance of AI, sustainability, distributed data, trusted data and open table format.
