In recent years, public sector organizations have found success running their scientific data processing workloads on HAQM Web Services. As the number of workloads increase with the massive data volume and complex scientific simulations, organizations are looking for ways to optimize cost while maintaining research momentum. HAQM EC2 Spot Instances presents a compelling option to run unused HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud (HAQM EC2) capacity with an up to 90 percent discount compared to On-Demand prices. However, the intermittent nature of Spot Instances often requires careful consideration, especially when handling time-sensitive mission-critical workloads. In this post, we discuss how organizations can effectively identify opportunities to use Spot Instances and HAQM Q Business to develop an enhanced Spot Instance analysis. 

Academic research IT departments around the world face the same challenge: how to balance their existing on-premises infrastructure with the opportunities of cloud computing. At the Supercomputing 2024 (SC24) conference, HAQM Web Services hosted a panel featuring two research IT leaders: Circe Tsui, associate director of solutions architecture at Emory University in the Office of Information Technology, and Dr. Robert Shen, director of the RMIT AWS Supercomputing Hub (RACE) at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT). During the panel, Tsui and Shen shared how their institutions use AWS to augment and enhance their research operations with more scalability, security, and collaboration alongside their on-premises infrastructure.

By 2026, more than 90 percent of organizations worldwide will face challenges related to an IT skills shortage. Artificial intelligence skills are among the most in-demand, but a variety of cloud skills like architecture, data management and storage, and software development are among the top 10 needed IT skills. To address these needs, HAQM Web Services hosts AWS State, Local, and Education Learning Days, a series of no-cost in-person events nationwide. These one-day events provide IT professionals and business executives in state and local government (SLG) and education with hands-on learning opportunities to grow their cloud skills.
