As part of our one-year anniversary, we’re pleased to bring a number of new features to QuickSight . Starting today, you can visualize geospatial data using maps, create tabular reports using flat tables in your dashboards, and perform run-time calculations for SPICE data sets in analysis. For high cardinality data, we’ve added an “Others” bucket feature so you can combine the long tails of values into a single category. You can also now create data sets in QuickSight with up to 1000 columns to support wide-table use cases.

You can now call a lambda function in the SQL statement of your rule by calling it in the SELECT statement to enrich IoT message data with external services like weather, geo-location, and maps. You can also call a lambda function from the WHERE clause to evaluate a condition with context from external services. For example, you can evaluate if the reported device position lies inside or outside a geographic area by calling an external geo-fencing endpoint like HERE maps (sample ) and then triggering an SNS Action if it lies outside the area.

AWS Cost Explorer helps you visualize, understand, and manage your AWS costs and usage over time. This is done via an intuitive interface that enables you to quickly create custom reports (including charts and tabular data) and analyses of your cost and usage data, both at a high level and for highly-specific requests. Starting today, you can directly access the Cost Explorer API, the low-latency ad-hoc query service that powers the Cost Explorer web application. 

You can now use deep learning framework Apache MXNet (0.12.0), GPU instance types P3 and P2 , and the AWS Glue Data Catalog with Presto on Amazon EMR release 5.10.0. Apache MXNet is a scalable deep learning framework that allows you to define, train, and deploy deep neural networks. Furthermore, you can preinstall custom machine learning and deep learning libraries on an Amazon Linux Amazon Machine Image (AMI), and create your Amazon EMR clusters with that AMI. Additionally, Amazon EMR now supports Amazon EC2 P3 and P2 instances, EC2 compute-optimized GPU instances, for deep learning and machine learning workloads. Also, you can now use the AWS Glue Data Catalog to store external table metadata for Presto instead of utilizing an on-cluster or self-managed Hive metastore.

It’s Budget Week and a load of under-funded, mis-guided, over-optimistic initiatives are to be touted to give the impression that HMG understands tech, Ed confides to his diary. While the Treasury provides largesse, it’s up to Departmental Ministries to administer it, and my job is to get my Department’s hands on the money, pitiful though …
