Eviden Enhances Event Experience with AWS DeepRacer Event Manager Solution
Are you looking for ways to elevate your AWS DeepRacer events and provide a more engaging experience for participants and spectators? Look no further than the AWS DeepRacer Event Manager (DREM) solution adopted by Eviden.
Eviden, a next-gen technology leader in data-driven, trusted, and sustainable digital transformation, has deployed the DREM solution within its own AWS environment to streamline the management of their global AWS DeepRacer series. With DREM, Eviden’s experienced event staff can now easily configure and manage AWS DeepRacer events in various locations around the world, from Bydgoszcz to Paris to Pune.
So, what exactly is DREM and why is it such a game-changer for AWS DeepRacer events? Let’s dive into the key features and benefits of this innovative application.
AWS DeepRacer Event Manager simplifies the process of hosting in-person DeepRacer events and delivers a more engaging and immersive experience for both participants and spectators.
For racers, DREM streamlines the registration process and model uploading, ensuring that only verified models are available for the racing competition. Authentication is handled seamlessly by Amazon Cognito, and any suspicious content is quarantined to maintain the integrity of the competition.
For event staff, DREM simplifies user management, model uploading, and the management of DeepRacer car fleets and timing devices. The interface makes it easy to upload multiple models to DeepRacer cars, providing a superior experience compared to the cars’ native graphical UI. DREM also provides pre-built scripts for device registration and timekeeping, improving efficiency and accuracy during events.
Spectators also benefit from the DREM solution, with integrated streaming overlays and leaderboards that keep them engaged and informed throughout the event. The dedicated webpage displaying the leaderboard allows both in-person and remote attendees to follow the competition progress in real-time.
In addition to enhancing the event experience, DREM has been meticulously designed with a well-architected approach, ensuring security, performance efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. The platform is secured using AWS WAF, Amazon CloudFront, and AWS Shield Standard, with user management handled by Amazon Cognito. During event periods, DREM seamlessly scales to meet the demands of event hosting requirements, while maintaining minimal ongoing costs during non-event periods.
Overall, the adoption of the AWS DeepRacer Event Manager solution has transformed Eviden’s AWS DeepRacer events, providing a more engaging, immersive, and streamlined experience for participants, event staff, and spectators alike.
