Amazon Web Services – New services for 2023 – What it announced at the conference in Las Vegas

A series of new services was announced by Amazon Web Services (AWS) during the eleventh edition of AWS re:Invent 2022, one of the largest and most important global technology conferences, held in Las Vegas. More than 50,000 delegates attended the conference in person and more than 300,000 developers, managers and technology experts participated online, remotely.

The company released an overview of the most important news it announced for the coming year, in the following areas:

Faster detection and investigation of security incidents and immediate response to them

Security is a top priority for any business, whether it’s protecting data, detecting policy violations, or preventing suspicious activity. Most companies rely on logging events from different sources to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities, evaluate security alerts and respond accordingly. However, these elements and data must first be collected and captured in a single format in order to be able to analyze them. This process is however quite time-consuming and therefore limits the ability to immediately respond to issues that may arise. With AWS’s new Amazon Security Lake service, as announced, customers can automatically create a security database with just a few clicks. This practically means that organizations can now automate the process of collecting data coming from different sources, collect the data they need, store and manage it more easily. In this way, faster detection and investigation of threats is achieved and at the same time faster response to them.

Tinder is currently the most popular dating app in the world. The app is available in 190 countries and in more than 40 languages. To date, the application has been downloaded by more than 530 million users, and more than 75 billion matches have been achieved through its use. “Because users trust us with their information, the security of our app and the privacy of our customers’ data is our top priority. Maintaining a strong and responsible security system is a cornerstone of our commitment to our customers,” said Jonathan Walker, DevSecOps manager II at Tinder. “Amazon Security Lake has dramatically reduced the time and money we invest in investigating security incidents across regions. This allowed our team to shift their attention away from data engineering and focus on cloud-based security incident analysis.”

Spatial Simulation capabilities available for everyone

A few years ago Spatial Simulation was a field of interest for a few specialized people, however today it is a branch open and available to everyone. It is now possible to experiment and better design everything from traffic management systems to bottlenecks in the supply chain. Simulation plays a critical role in innovation because users can experiment with what-if scenarios that they cannot simulate in real life, according to Dr. Werner Vogels, CTO of Amazon.

AWS, it says, brings the capabilities of Spatial Simulation to every industry, allowing its customers to more easily simulate everything from traffic management systems to public transportation networks and supply chain infrastructure. Now available on the market, AWS SimSpace Weaver is a new service that helps users run large-scale Spatial Simulation applications in the cloud without having to manage complex infrastructure. According to Dr. Vogels what makes AWS SimSpace Weaver unique is the way the simulation is done. Through the service, the simulation is distributed over smaller, discrete spatial regions, while the simulation code runs in parallel on multiple Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances presenting relevant results. “With AWS SimSpace Weaver, using Spatial Simulation technology becomes easier and now accessible to practically everyone,” says Dr. Vogels.

Finding the right data to make the right decisions

In most large organizations, there are scientists and engineers who generate data. Also, other professionals such as analysts use this data in the context of the business decision-making process. However, decision makers do not always have the data they need at their disposal. But even if they have access to the right data, they may not be able to use it. Therefore, many companies have a set of strong access controls and data governance policies to manage in many cases petabytes of information (in other words large volume) especially in cases of organizations active in the insurance, automotive and energy industries). And that information can be about hundreds of different people from many different groups.

Amazon DataZone is a new AWS data management service designed to help large groups of users easily find, organize and share data across their organizations, analyze it using AWS analytics tools, ensuring along with all the prescribed data governance procedures. As a result, businesses can innovate by enabling their people to make the right decisions in a short period of time, based on accurate and up-to-date information.

Fox Corporation is a leading content producer and distributor through its sports, news and entertainment channels. “At FOX, having a unified database for all of our companies and being able to securely find, publish, access and share data at scale is critical. We want our teams to be able to find and share data securely and without having to spend a lot of time on technical processes,” said Alex Tverdohleb, Vice President of Data Infrastructure at Fox Corporation. “Amazon DataZone will help streamline and automate how we find and share our data – with the right governance processes in place – so we can ensure it’s accessed at the right time and with the right tools.”

Reduce risk and lower costs with supply chain applications based on machine learning

“Some of the most innovative solutions developed and commercialized by our customers were based on challenges and solutions implemented and tested on the Amazon.com platform. AWS Supply Chain leverages pre-trained machine learning models, based on Amazon.com’s nearly 30 years of supply chain experience, to understand, extract, and aggregate data from ERP and supply chain management systems. The service presents this information on a visual map in real-time, showing the quantities of current inventory at each location. With AWS Supply Chain, businesses can more accurately predict supply chain risks, quickly take inventory rebalancing actions to save costs and meet their customers’ expectations,” said Tomasz Stachlewski, Head of Technology for EMEA CEE at AWS.

AWS Supply Chain is a cloud-based application that helps mitigate supply chain risks, reduce management costs, and increase supply chain resilience. AWS Supply Chain unifies supply chain data, provides actionable insights through machine learning, and offers built-in contextual collaboration capabilities that improve customer service through continuous inventory monitoring while reducing costs resulting from oversupply.

AWS Supply Chain visualizes data in the form of a map that shows real-time inventory status at each location, providing insights based on machine learning, while configuring targeted event watch lists that notify the user in cases of potential risks. When a risk is detected, AWS Supply Chain provides recommendations for rebalancing inventory and suggestions for using contextual collaboration tools that facilitate coordination between teams to implement solutions. AWS Supply Chain connects to a company’s existing ERP systems and supply chain management systems without requiring the use of another platform, upfront license fees, or long-term contracts.
