Learn how Seltz uses Amazon S3 Tables as managed Apache Iceberg storage between the stages of its billion-document Knowledge Pipeline. The team gets automatic compaction, lifecycle management, and incremental table semantics without operating that infrastructure, cutting infrastructure cost 40 percent compared to a self-managed pipeline.

Observability can claim a growing share of IT budgets. Learn how Proscia, a pathology AI company, built a self-hosted observability platform on Amazon S3, Amazon EKS, and ClickHouse managed by the Altinity Kubernetes Operator, achieving unlimited telemetry retention at object-storage cost under HIPAA, GDPR, and data-residency requirements.

Large organizations accumulate billions of Amazon S3 objects under different encryption configurations. Learn how to use S3 Batch Operations with the new UpdateObjectEncryption API to standardize encryption across an entire bucket at scale. The approach moves objects from SSE-S3 to SSE-KMS in place, with no data movement and without breaking S3 Lifecycle policies.

What happens when you need to migrate between separate ONTAP file systems but have multiple long-lived clones? Whether you are moving from on-premises NetApp to Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, between FSx file systems, or across AWS accounts, preserving these clone relationships becomes critical. Standard file-based migration tools like rsync, robocopy, or AWS DataSync have […]

Data is the foundation of AWS Cloud migration, and choosing the right storage services is one of the earliest, most critical decisions enterprises face. Migrating to AWS storage is a chance to get right-size: you drop the wasted capacity you’ve been paying for and avoid the hardware refresh cycle that makes on-premises scaling so painful. […]

A completed storage assessment looks simple: an AWS Storage service recommended per workload, capacity and performance recommendations, and cost. This post walks through the analysis of how we go from analyzed data to right-sizing on AWS. In Part 1 of this series, we covered what an AWS Storage Assessment delivers: service recommendations, right-sized configurations, and […]
