Adding Amazon Bedrock Llama2 as an assistant in Ragna
Nov 16, 2023 | 4 minute read
Adding a new assistant in Ragna Following up from my previous post on Ragna, I wanted to share following the announcement of Meta’s Llama2 13b model availability within Amazon Bedrock, how you can incorporate that. I have also put together a GitHub repo that shares the code, something that I got quite a few questions from the original post. Adding Meta’s Llama2 As with adding Amazon Bedrock’s Anthropic’s Claude support, it was pretty straight forward to modify the original code to add support for Llama2.

It is a new project with a committed and active community, so I wanted to find out more about this project. What piqued my interest was reading this blog post, Unveiling Ragna: An Open Source RAG-based AI Orchestration Framework Designed to Scale From Research to Production which takes a look at the background, or as I like to think of it, the “scratch that needed to be itched”.

Self managed Apache Airflow with Data on EKS
Mar 22, 2023 | 11 minute read
I have written in the past about how you can get started with Apache Airflow using the AWS managed service, Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow. But what if you want to self managed Apache Airflow? When I speak with developers, there are sometimes reasons why a managed service might not fit their needs. Some of the common things that come up include: whether you need the increase level of access, a greater level of control of the configuration of Apache Airflow have the need to have the very latest versions or features of Apache Airflow if you have the need to run workflows that use more resources that managed services provide (for example, need significant compute) Total Cost Ownership One thing to consider when assessing managed vs self managed is the cost of the managed service against the total costs of you having to do the same thing.
