Amazon launches its AWS data programme in India

Amazon Web Services (AWS) on Monday said it was making its AWS Data Lab programme available in India.

The complimentary programme is targeted at facilitating joint engineering efforts between customers and AWS technical experts to solve complex data, and architecture challenges using AWS products and services, the company said.

AWS Data Lab, which primarily has three offerings in the form of the build lab, the design lab, and the resident architect, can be used for activities or initiatives such as database migration, setting up cloud operations along with analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning projects, and application modernization.

According to Puneet Chandok, AWS India & South Asia’s President of Commercial Business, the Data lab programme will enable enterprises to build internal data analytics skills, which may involve upskilling current staff through on-the-job training and partnering with organizations.

The launch of the Data Lab programme in India joins AWS’ global network of Data Labs across the US, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Korea and the ASEAN region.
