Alluxio is a proud sponsor and exhibitor at the AWS Summit in New York. If you weren't able to attend, here are the highlights!
What's AWS Summit? It's a one day conference bringing together the cloud computing community to engage on topics ranging from Machine Learning, Hybrid Cloud, Big Data & Analytics, and more.
What we learned
- Enterprises are advancing along the cloud journey, and data access has become a prevalent challenge, because enterprises adopting hybrid cloud are not able to efficiently access data on-premise and in their public cloud.
- Amazon's CTO Werner Vogels talks about AWS Outposts in his keynote. Amazon's investment in Outposts is another indication of the rise of hybrid cloud.
- Cloud applications are heavily weighed towards data driven applications such as analytics and machine learning applications.
