While the Cloud has democratized application development by giving on-demand access to compute, storage, database, analytics, and machine learning, the traditional process of building software applications still requires developers to spend a lot of time writing boilerplate sections of code that are not directly related to the core problem that they are trying to solve. In this episode, Atul Deo, Director of Product Management, AWS AI Services joins Simon to discuss Amazon CodeWhisperer, a new ML-powered service that helps improve developer productivity by providing code recommendations based on the developers’ natural comments and their prior code.

The process of ingesting, storing, and processing video files, and associated metadata, is a top media and entertainment use case. It’s also a consideration for any organization that wants to introduce video into its products or workflows.

To meet these requirements, customers like UKTV are leveraging AWS Solution, Media2Cloud. After a 3-week migration of 3-4 petabytes of data, UKTV found the benefits were immediate. In this episode, hear how UKTV deployed Media2Cloud and gained business agility, improved developer productivity, while also saving 40% on costs.   Learn more https://www.linkedin.com/smart-links/AQHuJPzN4XGbFg
