This week on The Cloud Pod, the team admits defeat and acknowledges they are not experts in machine learning. Joining them in that club is the rest of us.  

A big thanks to this week’s sponsors:

  • Foghorn Consulting, which provides full-stack cloud solutions with a focus on strategy, planning and execution for enterprises seeking to take advantage of the transformative capabilities of AWS, Google Cloud and Azure.
  • Open Raven, the cloud native data protection platform that automates policy monitoring and enforcement. Auto discover, classify, monitor and protect your sensitive data.

        • Fully serverless batch computing with AWS Batch Support for AWS Fargate. Batch is a weird service to begin with. 
        • Amazon debuts Trainium, a custom chip for machine learning training in the cloud. We’re confused by this one.
