AWS Adding Artificial Intelligence, Compute Services to Cloud Lineup

NEW YORK--Amazon is dealing with striking workers in Europe, site disruptions during its Prime Day sale event and protestors inside and out of the Javits Convention Center, site of this week's AWS NYC Summit 2018. None of which appeared to bother Amazon Web Services executives at the Summit, who announced new capabilities for its artificial intelligence machine learning and compute services on the AWS cloud. With artificial intelligence and machine learning services in demand, AWS rolled out improvements to its SageMaker service, which enables users to build and deploy models in the cloud. Dr. Matt Wood, AWS's General Manager for Machine Learning, announced two updates to the help speed up the service: SageMaker Streaming Algorithms and SageMaker Batch Transform. Streaming Algorithms enables users to stream large amounts of training data from the S3 storage service into SageMaker.
