The July 2021 edition of IndyAWS, Indiana’s fastest growing cloud meetup founded in 2017 by Six Feet Up CTO and Amazon Web Services (AWS) Community Hero Calvin Hendryx-Parker, joined forces with Boston AWS to host an in-depth discussion about an AWS DeepRacer — and how the custom DeepBlaster was created in just four short weeks.

Speaker Chris Miller, CEO of Cloud Brigade and AWS Machine Learning Hero, walked through his process for creating a DeepBlaster, including how he:

• utilized the open sourced DeepRacer code,
• setup the large list of nodes running the vehicle,
• came up with the idea to attach a Jupiter Blaster to a DeepRacer, and
• executed the creation in the nick of time.
