This year the annual re:invent conference organized by AWS was virtual, free and three weeks long. During multiple keynotes and sessions, AWS announced new features, improvements and cloud services. Below is a review of the main announcements impacting compute, database, storage, networking, machine learning and development. On the very first day of the conference, Amazon announced EC2 Mac instances for macOS, adding after many years a new operating system to EC2. This is mainly targeted to processes that only run on Mac OS, like building and testing applications for iOS, MacOS, tvOS and Safari.

Like every other event this year, one of the most awaited cloud computing events, AWS re:Invent 2020 is also being held virtually. The three-week virtual event took place from November 30th with live keynotes from Andy Jassy, CEO of AWS and Werner Vogels, VP and CTO of Amazon.com. From the very first day, the event has started to announce the major launch and preview announcements including machine learning tools, containers and more. Below here, we have listed the latest announcements on AI and machine learning, in no particular order, made at AWS re:Invent 2020. After Inferentia, AWS launched its second custom machine learning (ML) chip known as Trainium.

With less than a week to re:Invent 2020, we are feeling the excitement and thrill, and looking forward to seeing you all at the world's premier cloud learning event. As always, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) continue to be on the list of top topics with our customers and partners. We're making it bigger and better this year with the first ever machine learning keynote, over 50 technical breakout sessions, live racing with the AWS DeepRacer League, and more. You'll hear from AWS experts as well as many of our customers including NASCAR, Intuit, McDonalds, Mobileye, NFL, Siemens Energy, and many others, across industries such as sports, finance, retail, autonomous vehicles, manufacturing, and more. To help you plan your agenda for the extravaganza, here are a few highlights from the artificial intelligence and machine learning track at re:Invent 2020.
