Building a Modern Data Platform on Amazon EKS - AWS Online Tech Talk

Kubernetes has dramatically risen in popularity around the world since its inception as an open-source CNCF project in 2015. While it was originally designed for stateless applications, more users than ever before are building their next-generation data platforms using services like Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). Kubernetes is powering a variety of use cases including batch processing and normalizing data sets, data ingestion with streaming capabilities, and producing data insights with Machine Learning to create targeted and personalized promotional campaigns. This tech talk will explore several advantages and challenges of building data platforms on Kubernetes, and introduce Data on EKS - a global initiative offering IaC patterns in Terraform and CDK, benchmark reports, best practices, and sample code to simplify and accelerate the journey for users who want to run applications like Spark, Kafka, Kubeflow, Ray, Airflow, Presto, and Cassandra on EKS. Learning Objectives: * Objective 1: Gain access to useful tools that will help accelerate your data journey on Amazon EKS. * Objective 2: Learn about key tradeoffs and considerations when modernizing data workloads on Kubernetes. * Objective 3: Understand best practices, techniques, and integrations to help modernize Data Platform for optimal cost, reliability, and performance. ***To learn more about the services featured in this talk, please visit: https://awslabs.github.io/data-on-eks/ ****To download a copy of the slide deck from this webinar visit: https://pages.awscloud.com/Building-a-Modern-Data-Platform-on-Amazon-EKS_2023_0204-OTT-OD-MDA_OD Subscribe to AWS Online Tech Talks On AWS: https://www.youtube.com/@AWSOnlineTechTalks?sub_confirmation=1 Follow Amazon Web Services: Official Website: https://aws.amazon.com/what-is-aws Twitch: https://twitch.tv/aws Twitter: https://twitter.com/awsdevelopers Facebook: https://facebook.com/amazonwebservices Instagram: https://instagram.com/amazonwebservices
