  • Optimize AWS Glue IP addresses & Expand Network with Private NAT

    –

    Presenter: Sushanth Kothapally and Senthil Kamala Rathinam

    Abstract: As enterprises grow, their demand for IP addresses often exceeds what their corporate network can provide. While networks are designed to tackle future needs, evolving enterprises eventually outgrow them. This often possess constraint of running multiple AWS Glue jobs in parallel that require number of database connections. To enable more connections, organizations can obtain additional IP addresses from their corporate pool, either unique or overlapping with the existing network. Overlapping IP addresses require extra network management like private NAT gateways, AWS PrivateLink, or self-managed NAT appliances to establish connectivity. This presentation discusses two strategies to scale AWS Glue jobs within IP-constrained networks:
    Optimize IP address usage by right-sizing Data Processing Units, using AWS Glue Auto Scaling, and fine-tuning jobs
    Expand network capacity by adding a non-routable CIDR range with a private NAT gateway.

    Implementing these strategies allows companies to maximize their use of IP addresses to support more data processing workloads using AWS Glue

  • Managing EKS Clusters at Scale using Blueprints and Infrastructure as Code

    –

    Presenter: Julia Furst Morgado

    Abstract: We get it – deploying complex and repeatable Kubernetes clusters with all your favorite configurations, add-ons and applications is difficult, time-consuming and error-prone. Luckily, Amazon EKS Blueprints make this process much easier. The blueprints allow DevOps teams to abstract away the challenges of infrastructure deployment through integrated CI/CD pipelines using simple, consistent code. Meanwhile, operations teams benefit from the simplified deployment of secure, optimized “well-architected” clusters. EKS Blueprints consolidate common Kubernetes tools and best practices like scaling, monitoring, security, and Day 2 tools such as backup and DR into a centralized platform. As a result, developers can reliably leverage Kubernetes across diverse teams and environments in their enterprise. For organizations maintaining clusters across multiple cloud accounts and geographies, using Infrastructure as Code with EKS Blueprints is key to automating standardized deployments with just a single line of configuration code.

  • Avoiding Common Pitfalls with Hosting Machine Learning Models

    –

    Presenter: Max De Jong

    Abstract: With the explosion of interest in machine learning, model weights are available for many custom architectures trained on very specific tasks. Often, the repositories storing these models were created to demonstrate performance on a standard task-specific benchmark at the expense of practical considerations required for these models to be useful in real-world applications. Common issues include managing dependencies (particularly CUDA with deep learning models), exposing models as endpoints, orchestrating multiple microservices around different models, scaling up web servers to handle concurrent requests, and scaling down GPU instances for cost optimization. In this talk, I will address solutions to these common problems using technology supported by AWS as well as AWS-native solutions. These challenges and associated solutions will be concretely grounded by a recent project exploring 3D pose estimation in videos. I will share the trajectory of this work, from unconnected code repositories to an on-prem service and finally to a scalable service hosted on AWS. I will document both specific solutions to problems encountered and also focus on broader takeaways to hopefully help interested community members avoid common pitfalls in hosting machine learning solutions.

  • How does RAG REALLY work?

    –

    Presenter: Jeff Maruschek

    Abstract: “How many manuals are you expected to know cover to cover? How many different manuals are needed to be referenced for the same situation? You might be interested in RAG. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is the process of optimizing the output of a large language model, so it references an authoritative knowledge base outside of its training data sources before generating a response. Large Language Models (LLMs) are trained on vast volumes of data and use billions of parameters to generate original output for tasks like answering questions, translating languages, and completing sentences. RAG extends the already powerful capabilities of LLMs to specific domains or an organization’s internal knowledge base, all without the need to retrain the model. It is a cost-effective approach to improving LLM output so it remains relevant, accurate, and useful in various contexts. In this Session, Jeff Maruschek (AWS Sr. Solution Architect) will provide an overview of RAG, Context, Embeddings, and demonstrate both a fully built RAG chatbot application and AWS’s fully managed RAG offering, Knowledge Bases for Amazon Bedrock.”

  • Building a Generative AI Chatbot

    –

    Presenter: Trevor Bennett

    Abstract: “Have you ever interacted with a large language model, only to realize that its answers are generic, and possibly even made up? This is an evergreen issue in cases where answers to the questions exist, but the model lacks the ability to find them, because it was never trained on the data in question in the first place. We have the data (somewhere), and we have the model, how do we make them talk? Retrieval augmented generation is a technique wherein you take a user’s question, enhance it for the purposes of a document query, and then use those same documents to contextualize the user’s question to the model. We’re going to build a workflow that does exactly that. In this talk we will walk through the architectural decisions and design constraints that lead to us using LangChain, Amazon Bedrock, and Open Search to build out a retrieval augmented GenAI pipeline. We will conclude with a comparative demonstration of results and a discussion of lessons learned.”
