Hey CDK, how do cross-account deployments work?

Hey CDK, how do cross-account deployments work?

The AWS CDK makes it easy to deploy your application, regardless if it consists of multiple stacks that are deployed in multiple accounts and regions. Even assets are not a problem. But in your pipeline, you might need some more control over what happens when. And you should understand what happens under the hood. Why?

How to build an automatic grading solution for handwriting assessments with Amazon Textract and AWS CDK?

By default amazontextract handles 1 PDF as a whole but in the real world, we scan a set of hashtag#forms, survey or assignments, and wants to extract the individual document values into a row in Excel. Also, we want to have the high level output for multiple choice and true or false question but hashtag#textract just tell the checkbox is checked or not the output the answer of those question. Here is our solution to convert low level output into meaningful report plus images enhancement and hashtag#ocr.

Globalize Your Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels with AWS CDK

At this moment, Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels is a regional service. We are building real-time AWS DeepRacer analytics with Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels and Amazon Kinesis Video. We hope the solution can be used around the world. To reduce the network latency and make it high availability, we want to deploy the model to all regions with Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels support. At this moment, you cannot copy model to another region directly and you need to rebuild the model in each region. It is time-consuming and error-prone if you do it manually. On the other hand, for the place like Hong Kong, our application needs to call the model in another region, and we don’t know which region is the best.
