You can't really predict the weather can you? Well I have been thinking quite a bit about Lambda and Amazon Machine Learning lately and just yesterday I posted about AWS bloggers. Well todays post combines two of those topics.

Arne Sund at http://arnesund.com just did a post on "Using Amazon Machine Learning to Predict the Weather". Its a good read about how you can get started with AML. I have no idea if this is a good model for weather prediction but could it be any worse? Will let our data scientist friends way in on that one. Certainly for the simple machine learning I have been doing its been working great.

You may want to follow Arne's AWS feed. This is his first post on AWS, nice work and would be great to see some more.

I love reading blogs as I believe that a great way to learn is to listen to people who have spent lots of time investigating something or experiencing it. For good bloggers this is what they do, take their hours of learning and share it with you in a digestible format.

Back in 2008 and onwards I was really into learning about the new world of server virtualization and a great way to do so was through bloggers (see http://vlp.vsphere-land.com for how the space has grown). Since I have been in the AWS world for the last few years I have not seen a lot of individual bloggers out there diving into AWS. Maybe I am just looking in the wrong places.

One day I would love to collate a feed of the AWS specific bloggers that people can follow. However, here are two blogs I do know of that cover interesting stuff that is usually related to AWS. You may want to subscribe to their feeds.

• http://techblog.realestate.com.au
• http://www.mitchyb.com

Of course there are the large scale blogs that you are probably already following.

• https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/
• http://www.allthingsdistributed.com
• http://perspectives.mvdirona.com
• http://techblog.netflix.com

If you know of others, please post in the comments. Even better, if you are using AWS, why not start your own blog and share you experiences.

Cheers
