Data foundation for analytics and AI

Organizations are seeing their analytics and AI workloads increasingly converge around the same datasets, and they aren't using analytics and AI tools in isolation. This evolution has led to increased collaboration between data analysts, scientists, engineers, and app developers, all working in an environment where traditional boundaries between data, analytics, and AI are becoming less distinct. As many organizations grapple with data scattered across various systems, like data lakes, data warehouses, and applications, AWS continues to innovate to help customers unify their data. With Amazon S3 and the next generation of Amazon SageMaker, AWS offers comprehensive capabitlies across storage, analytics, and AI to streamline workflows and manage data effectively – all while delivering unmatched price-performance, scalability, security, and governance.

Building a data foundation with Amazon S3

9:30 AM - 10:45 AM PT | 12:30 PM - 1:45 PM ET

Building a data foundation is the cornerstone of accelerating analytics and AI workloads, enabling organizations to seamlessly manage, discover, and utilize their data assets at any scale. Amazon S3 is the world's best place to build a data lake, with virtually unlimited scale, and provides the essential foundation for this transformation. With AWS's latest innovations, including S3 Tables with native Apache Iceberg support for 3x faster queries and S3 Metadata for near real-time data discovery, teams can build and deploy solutions faster. AWS helps customers leverage their S3 data lake as a unified storage foundation that seamlessly supports both traditional analytics workloads and emerging AI/ML use cases, significantly reducing operational complexity.

Accelerate analytics and AI with the next generation of Amazon SageMaker

10:45 PM - 12:50 PM PT | 1:45 PM - 3:50 PM ET

For accelerating analytics and AI, the next generation of Amazon SageMaker delivers an integrated experience with unified access to all your data. Collaborate and build faster from a unified studio using familiar AWS tools for model development, generative AI, data processing, and SQL analytics, accelerated by Amazon Q Developer, the most capable generative AI assistant for software development. Amazon SageMaker Lakehouse empowers organizations to accelerate innovation by unifying access across data lakes and data warehouses, breaking down the traditional silos between data sources. Through integration between Amazon S3 Tables and SageMaker Lakehouse, customers gain automated table maintenance, simplified operations, and unified access to the broadest set of analytics and AI services.
