Data pipeline for the healthcare industry using IBM CP4D on AWS

Building a healthcare data pipeline on AWS with IBM Cloud Pak for Data

Healthcare data is being generated at an increased rate with the proliferation of connected medical devices and clinical systems. Some examples of these data are time-sensitive patient information, including results of laboratory tests, pathology reports, X-rays, digital imaging, and medical devices to monitor a patient’s vital signs, such as blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature.

Solution architecture for Snakemake with Tibanna on AWS

Genomics workflows, Part 2: simplify Snakemake launches

Genomics workflows are high-performance computing workloads. In Part 1 of this series, we demonstrated how life-science research teams can focus on scientific discovery without the associated heavy lifting. We used regenie for large genome-wide association studies. Our design pattern built on AWS Step Functions with AWS Batch and HAQM FSx for Lustre. In Part 2, […]

Let's Architect

Let’s Architect! Optimizing the cost of your architecture

Written in collaboration with Ben Moses, AWS Senior Solutions Architect, and Michael Holtby, AWS Senior Manager Solutions Architecture Designing an architecture is not a simple task. There are many dimensions and characteristics of a solution to consider, such as the availability, performance, or resilience. In this Let’s Architect!, we explore cost optimization and ideas on […]

Email delta cost usage report in a multi-account organization using AWS Lambda

AWS Organizations gives customers the ability to consolidate their billing across accounts. This reduces billing complexity and centralizes cost reporting to a single account. These reports and cost information are available only to users with billing access to the primary AWS account. In many cases, there are members of senior leadership or finance decision makers […]

Architecture diagram for Helm chart installation of ADOT and fluentbit to an existing HAQM EKS cluster

HAQM CloudWatch Insights for HAQM EKS on EC2 using AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry Helm charts

This blog provides a simplified three-step solution to collect metrics and logs from an HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS) cluster on HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud (HAQM EC2) using the AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) Helm charts repository and send them to HAQM CloudWatch Logs and HAQM CloudWatch Container Insights. The ADOT Helm charts repository […]

Building event-driven architectures with IoT sensor data

The Internet of Things (IoT) brings sensors, cloud computing, analytics, and people together to improve productivity and efficiency. It empowers customers with the intelligence they need to build new services and business models, improve products and services over time, understand their customers’ needs to provide better services, and improve customer experiences. Business operations become more […]

Solution overview for automating regenie workflows on AWS

Genomics workflows, Part 1: automated launches

Genomics workflows are high-performance computing workloads. Traditionally, they run on-premises with a collection of scripts. Scientists run and manage these workflows manually, which slows down the product development lifecycle. Scientists spend time to administer workflows and handle errors on a day-to-day basis. They also lack sufficient compute capacity on-premises. In Part 1 of this series, […]

Wego's new architecture using Session Manager

How Wego secured developer connectivity to HAQM Relational Database Service instances

How do you securely access HAQM Relational Database Service (HAQM RDS) instances from a developer’s laptop? Online travel marketplace, Wego, shares their journey from bastion hosts in the public subnet to lightweight VPN tunnels on top of Session Manager, a capability of AWS Systems Manager, using temporary access keys. In this post, we explore how […]

How GraphQL works

What to consider when modernizing APIs with GraphQL on AWS

In the next few years, companies will build over 500 million new applications, more than has been developed in the previous 40 years combined (see IDC article). API operations enable innovation. They are the “front door” to applications and microservices, and an integral layer in the application stack. In recent years, GraphQL has emerged as […]
