Purpose
The procurement of cloud services is unlike traditional technology purchasing. Traditional procurement and contracting approaches that are designed to purchase products, such as hardware and related software, can be inconsistent with cloud services. A failure to modernize contracting and procurement approaches can reduce the pool of competitors and inhibit customer ability to adopt and leverage cloud technology.
Ten Procurement Considerations
Cloud procurement presents an opportunity to reevaluate existing procurement strategies so you can create a flexible acquisition process that enables your organization to extract the full benefits of the cloud. The following procurement considerations are key components that can form the basis of a broader cloud procurement strategy.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the field of computer science dedicated to solving cognitive problems commonly associated with human intelligence, such as learning, problem solving, and pattern recognition. Artificial Intelligence, often abbreviated as "AI", may connote robotics or futuristic scenes, AI goes well beyond the automatons of science fiction, into the non-fiction of modern day advanced computer science.
Analogue.cloud recently organized an AWS Hands-on Workshop for students Applied Informatics at the PXL-IT school in Hasselt. During this 3 hour session the students were introduced into the wonderful world of AWS. After some introductory slides the participants were invited to work in a real AWS environment. The students learned to setup a website that can easily be copied and deployed in different environment. They also had to establish a serverless rest call service using the AWS Lambda. During the workshop the participants played with EC2, S3, Cloudformation, Cloudfront, API Gateway and Lambda.
Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.
It groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery. Kubernetes builds upon 15 years of experience of running production workloads at Google, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.
Customers of Cloudera and Amazon Web Services (AWS) now have the ability to run the enterprise data hub in the AWS public cloud, leveraging the power of the Cloudera Enterprise platform and the flexibility of the AWS cloud together.
"In my view the winner : still small size, but interesting plays, super focused on AWS, strong management, they are already standard and last but not least part of Cronos, with whom we work already. Also great grow rates on a solid base already, so best return for AWS billings. Worth supporting disproportionaly !"
Many Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers use batch data reports to gain strategic insight into long-term business trends, and a growing number of customers also require streaming data to obtain actionable insights from their data in real time.
Analogue.cloud is looking for motivated interns to help us to prepare and build high quality Big Data Reference Architectures for use as accelerator templates for customer projects. The objective of the internship will be to help us to create reusable Big Data Architecture blueprints that can help us rapidly build successful, high quality and robust customer implementations time and again.
The solution will be used to showcase the capabilities of the
AWS platform for Big Data scenarios. Thus the solution will form the basis for a technical
blog post on our website. As a software consultancy, marketing our knowledge and skills to interested parties is an essential component of our business model; therefore you will be supporting a critical part of our business, and will gain exposure to some state of the art technologies in the process.
