Cloud Computing and AI/ML for Enhancements in Education

AWS machine learning and other AI services enable a variety of features in the modern edtech ecosystem. Educators can customize each user’s path through coursework, predict when knowledge gaps may occur, seamlessly scale content to millions of users; and beyond. By focusing on improving the learning experience and driving data-backed decisions with AWS, Edtech is better prepared to improve learning for all.    
 

The cloud has been embraced for its reliability and scalability, as well as a breadth of security benefits. However, just because the cloud can be more secure, organizations aren't guaranteed protection from data breaches and security threats. This article dives into how companies can protect themselves and mitigate damage from a variety of security threats.      
 

AWS offers the broadest and deepest set of machine learning services and supporting cloud infrastructure, putting machine learning in the hands of every developer, data scientist and expert practitioner.  To remove the complexity of getting started with machine learning, AWS developed the Sagemaker platform to help customers get started using AI to their advantage, with no experience.

DevOps teams share one common goal: to increase the frequency and quality of application deployments. AWS CodeStar is described as the AWS service to "quickly develop, build, and deploy applications on AWS.”  DevOps teams can use AWS CodeStar to quickly set up their entire continuous delivery toolchain in minutes for more reliable deployments in consistent environments, as well as less risk of error.  

2019 witnessed the release of several state of IT security case studies for 2018 and in terms of IT security and downtime, these reports weren’t flattering. According to a CTI report, 94% of small businesses do not recover from major data losses. Also, IT-related downtime has been responsible for $50,000 to $5 million loses to affected businesses.
