On April 27 2023, EOS Data Analytics, provider of AI-powered satellite imagery analytics, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) held a free webinar dedicated to cloud-based technologies and satellite data analytics and their role in promoting and adopting sustainable agriculture practices
The webinar was focused on the ways AWS and EOSDA's satellite imagery analytics can be utilised for geospatial and agricultural activities. Agribusinesses, industry experts, and GIS and space enthusiasts attended this online event.
The next part of the webinar was dedicated to demonstrating how EOSDA utilises AWS technologies to enhance its AI-powered satellite imagery, analytics, capabilities, which can deliver significant benefits to agriculture businesses. After joining the AWS Partner Network in November 2022, EOSDA became able to tap into AWS’ expertise in large-scale projects promoting sustainability, leading to more efficient deployment of their platforms and enhancing their ability to scale solutions.
AWS provides a robust and scalable infrastructure, enabling EOS Data Analytics to process, store, and manage vast amounts of satellite data effectively and efficiently. Key AWS services employed by EOSDA include EC2, Lambda, DynamoDB, RDS, AWS Autoscaling, CloudTrail, and Web Application Firewall. Through the utilisation of these AWS services, EOSDA can deliver powerful, secure, and reliable solutions for agriculture businesses, transforming the way they approach sustainable agriculture practices.
Towards the end of the webinar, Phil Cooper, global geospatial sales lead at AWS discussed AWS aerospace and satellite solutions and their impact on the burgeoning space industry.
During his speech, Cooper emphasised that the company’s cutting-edge geospatial solutions are redefining the agricultural landscape and that AWS is proud to contribute to the widespread adoption of sustainable agriculture practices that ensure long-term food security and environmental sustainability.
To illustrate his statement, Cooper elaborated on the AWS geospatial solutions and explained the prevailing trends in working with geospatial data. With it, agriculture becomes a data-rich industry allowing agribusinesses to do things that were earlier impossible like seed genetics optimisation and hyper-localised decision-making. AWS also encourages individuals to train on cloud computing technologies in order to unlock the full potential of these advancements in the agricultural sector.
