Title

AWS re:Invent 2023 - AI-driven adaptive engineering for all your cloud workloads (COP105)

Summary

Prem, CDO of Hitachi Digital Services, discusses AI application in cloud workload management on AWS.
Mihail from Refisen Bank shares their cloud journey, emphasizing the shift from assessment to migration and the importance of planning, preparation, and training.
The transformation aimed for 50% of applications in the cloud within two years, focusing on modernization rather than cost reduction.
Benefits included shorter time to market, agility, innovation, resilience, transparency, and talent attraction.
AI and generative AI (GenAI) were used for code complexity analysis, early access to co-pilot for code generation, security scanning, and FinOps tool selection.
Future AI applications include internal efficiency, customer-facing applications, and operational effectiveness.
Andrea from AWS highlights the support AWS provides through the well-architected framework, AI tools, and infrastructure for operational excellence, cost optimization, and security.
AWS infrastructure offers access to GPUs and AI services like Inspector, Security Hub, and Trusted Advisor.
AWS application layer provides tools like Amazon Q and SageMaker for rapid adoption of generative AI applications.
The session concludes with an invitation to visit Hitachi's booth for further discussion.

The cloud transformation journey is not just about migrating workloads but also about modernizing operations and leveraging AI for better management and innovation.
Emphasizing modernization over cost reduction can lead to broader benefits, including improved agility, innovation, and talent acquisition.
AI and GenAI are becoming integral to cloud workload management, offering capabilities for code analysis, security, and financial optimization.
AWS's well-architected framework and AI services provide a structured approach and tools for customers to achieve operational excellence and innovate with AI.
The availability of AWS's infrastructure and application layers enables customers to quickly access and utilize advanced technologies like generative AI, which can significantly accelerate development and deployment processes.
The session underscores the importance of partnerships, such as the one between Refisen Bank and Hitachi Digital Services, in successfully navigating complex cloud transformations.
