Physical AI projects — robotics, autonomous systems, digital twins — require complex multi-stage pipelines spanning simulation, training, evaluation, and edge deployment. Each stage demands different compute and orchestration.

Amazon EC2 offers a variety of capacity usage and reservation models, so you can choose the right combination for your workload and budget. These include capacity reservations, On-Demand Instances, Amazon EC2 Capacity Blocks for ML, and more.

Containers offer scalability and flexibility, enabling seamless deployment, management, and scaling of applications in any environment. Using containers on AWS can help you improve your efficiency and achieve your price performance goals.

In this session, Standard Chartered Bank shares how FinOps has been embedded in the way they build systems. Critical large systems at Standard Chartered Bank—such as scaling applications, container platforms, and their grid for calculating risk and analytics—use techniques to reduce waste and optimize cost and performance at scale.

In this session, experience your favorite arcade game with an AWS twist. Spot Invaders is a retro game where your goal is to earn points by defeating wave after wave of invaders to destroy pods and nodes on an Amazon EKS cluster and so make the underlying microservices exposed by the cluster unavailable.

In this workshop, learn how you can use Karpenter, a high-performance, low-latency, node lifecycle management solution for Kubernetes. In addition, learn how Karpenter supports Amazon EC2 Spot Instance best practices natively to help you optimize for costs while scaling rapidly to meet customer demand.

Containers are usually stateless and fault-tolerant, and Amazon EC2 Spot Instances are a great match for powering container workloads. Attend this workshop to learn how to provision, manage, and maintain your Amazon Kubernetes clusters with Amazon EKS at any scale on Spot Instances while architecting to optimize cost and scale.
