Organizations use their data to make better decisions and build innovative experiences for their customers. With the exponential growth in data, and the rapid pace of innovation in machine learning (ML), there is a growing need to build modern data applications that are agile and scalable. In this episode, Jillian is joined by Vara Bonthu, Principal Solutions Architect, and Alex Lines, Sr. Containers Specialist, to talk through why Kubernetes is becoming a popular choice for modernizing data applications, like batch processing and ML. They also discuss how AWS's open-source project, Data on EKS, helps customers build and test common use cases, like batch processing with Apache Spark or training an ML language model, to decrease the time it takes to get to production.
