EVENTS

Graviton Developer Day for Python, Go and Java

Date: Wednesday 25th September

Time: 10:00 - 16:00 GMT+1

Location: 60 Holborn Viaduct, London, EC1A 2FD

About the event

Languages covered: Python, Go and Java

Deployment options covered: EKS with Karpenter or EC2 Autoscaling Groups

Join this workshop to learn all about AWS Graviton and how to develop and deploy applications for AWS Graviton processors to achieve the best EC2 price-performance and sustainability on AWS. During this workshop you will take an example x86 application (choosing from Python, Go or Java) and learn how to migrate and optimize especially for Graviton. Once you have converted the application you will have the opportunity to learn how to deploy the converted application on Graviton infrastructure through Amazon EKS or Autoscaling Groups.

What you will learn:

  • Learn about EC2 and best-practices for AWS Graviton adoption
  • Perform hands-on migration of a x86 modern application to Graviton (choose from Python, Go or Java)
  • Observe savings and application performance differences of x86 vs Graviton and run automated local tests

Deploy the applications onto x86 and Graviton infrastructure (choose from EKS Karpenter or EC2 Autoscaling Groups) and compare Graviton performance improvements

AWS's chip revolution: How Annapurna labs drives the cloud

Date: Wednesday 24th September

Time: 4:30PM - 7:15PM IDT

Location: Azrieli Sarona Tower, 121st Menachem Begin Road, 28 Floor, Tel-Aviv

Four years after its inception, Annapurna Labs was acquired by Amazon Web Services (AWS). Since then, we have accelerated innovation and developed a number of products that benefit cloud customers, including AWS Nitro technology, AWS Graviton processors, AWS ML Inferntia
& Trainium and more. Inventing and delivering the unimaginable on behalf of our customers is a steep and risky challenge - just like climbing the Annapurna mountains - but we embrace it every day.
Join us at the AWS offices in Tel Aviv for an exclusive opportunity to learn, network, and innovate with Annapurna Labs experts and fellow partners. This event will bring together industry leaders to discuss the latest advancements in silicon innovation and explore how these technologies are shaping the future of cloud computing. Whether you're a seasoned professional or new to the field, this event will provide valuable insights and connections.
