FACT SHEET: Biden-Harris Administration Launches the Apprenticeship Ambassador Initiative to Create Equitable, Debt-Free Pathways to High-Paying Jobs…
Today, the Biden-Harris Administration is announcing the launch of the Apprenticeship Ambassador Initiative, a national network of more than 200 employers and industry organizations, labor organizations, educators, workforce intermediaries, and community-based organizations who are committed to strengthening and diversifying Registered Apprenticeship. Registered Apprenticeship is a high-quality, debt-free, equitable earn and learn model with a nationally recognized credential system that helps employers hire a more demographically diverse workforce and provides workers with on-the-job learning experience, job-related instruction with a mentor, and a clear pathway to a good-paying job. First Lady Jill Biden, Secretary Marty Walsh, and Secretary Gina Raimondo are hosting a discussion at the White House today with leaders of the Initiative.
The Apprenticeship Ambassadors have existing Registered Apprenticeship programs in over 40 in-demand industries and have committed to expand and diversify these programs over the next year by collectively: developing 460 new Registered Apprenticeship programs across their 40 industries, hiring over 10,000 new apprentices, and holding 5,000 outreach, promotional, and training events to help other business, labor, and education leaders launch similar programs. Ambassadors will also use their expertise to scale innovative practices and increase access to Registered Apprenticeship for underserved populations, including women, youth, people of color, rural communities, people with arrest or conviction records, and people with disabilities.
This new Initiative builds on President Bidens efforts to expand Registered Apprenticeships, which include investing hundreds of millions of dollars in Registered Apprenticeships and pre-apprenticeships and launching an Apprenticeship Accelerator that speeds up the time it takes to get approval to start a new program from months to days. The Administrations efforts have already helped develop over 4,000 new Registered Apprenticeship programs, add 6,700 new employer partners participating in Registered Apprenticeship programs, and led to the hiring of more than one million apprentices.
The Apprenticeship Ambassador Initiative will have long-lasting and mutually beneficial economic benefits for both workers and employers. About 93 percent of workers who complete Registered Apprenticeships gain employment and earn an annual average starting wage of $77,000. Registered Apprenticeships also help employers attract, train, and retain a skilled and diverse workforce and reap a $1.47 return for every dollar spent on Registered Apprenticeships. The Initiative will help to ensure there is a skilled, diverse workforce to implement the Presidents economic agenda including tackling the supply chain challenge and filling new clean energy jobs created by the Inflation Reduction Act, manufacturing and technology jobs created by the CHIPS and Science Act, infrastructure jobs created by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and roles in other high-demand sectors like health care and cybersecurity.
For example, through the Initiative:
These efforts complement the Administrations efforts to expand Registered Apprenticeships to build a skilled, diverse workforce in high demand areasincluding those that are bolstered by Presidents economic agenda. For example,the Administration launched the Talent Pipeline Challenge, a nationwide call to action for employers, education and training providers, states, local, Tribal, and territorial governments, and philanthropic organizations to make tangible commitments that support equitable workforce development including launching or scaling Registered Apprenticeships in critical infrastructure sectors: broadband, construction, electric vehicle charging, and battery manufacturing. Clean energy tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act include a significant bonus for businesses that hire using Registered Apprenticeship programs and pay prevailing wage rates ensuring our clean energy investments create high-quality training pathways that lead to good-paying jobs. State and local governments are using American Rescue Plan Fiscal Recovery Funds to expand pre-apprenticeships and Registered Apprenticeships in response to the negative economic impacts of the pandemic.
The Department of Labor is also taking additional steps to expand Registered Apprenticeship to serve at least 1 million apprentices annually within the next 5 years. These steps include:
The Department of Commerce is expanding Registered Apprenticeships, including by:
The Department of Education is expanding Registered Apprenticeship, including by:

Amazon opens new office in Johannesburg – MyBroadband
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has opened a new office in Johannesburg, announcing that it is to support growing customer demand.
The new office will support South Africas burgeoning cloud market, and provide a range of services to organisations of all sizes, including startups, enterprises, and public sector agencies, Amazon said in a statement on Thursday.
The new office continues Amazons growing investment in South Africa.
AWS was initially developed in Cape Town by South African Internet pioneer Chris Pinkham after proposing the elastic compute cloud in an internal Amazon paper in late2003.
EC2 would become AWS first product
Pinkham is well-known in South African tech circles for founding the countrys first commercial ISP in 1993 The Internetworking Company of Southern Africa (Ticsa).
UUNET bought Ticsa in 1996, and Pinkham took a break from the tech scene, including sailing around the world.
In 2000, he joined Amazon to run their network engineering department.
However, in 2003 he wanted to move back to Cape Town from Seattle.
Not wanting to lose Pinkham, former Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos asked if he would look into developing EC2.
Pinkham said by late 2004 or early 2005 they had their first engineers on board in the Constantia area in Cape Town.
Thus began Amazons presence in South Africa. Amazon EC2 was officially launched in August 2006.
This is AWSs second office in Johannesburg. The company launched a local office on 13 August 2015.
Johannesburg offers an incredible talent pool of highly skilled and creative people, said AWS country manager Chris Erasmus.
It is home to many notable South African enterprises leading the way in digital innovation as well as fast-growing startups.
Erasmus said they had seen increased adoption of AWS technology in the country, fuelling the need to service Amazons customers from their centre of operations.
We look forward to fostering the countrys pioneering spirit alongside our customers by helping them accelerate their digital transformation and deliver innovative new products and services to the South African economic landscape.

Ethereum Nodes Largely Run on Cloud ServicesThis Host Says Theyre Banned – Decrypt
Popular cloud service provider Hetzner has said that its product is not for crypto usersdespite the fact it hosts roughly 10% of all Ethereum nodes.
In a Reddit post earlier this week, the company said that running just one node is a violation. A node is a computer that, together with other nodes, powers a decentralized network, like Bitcoin or Ethereum.
Nodes are needed to run software that can verify blocks and transaction data and keep a network chugging along.
Ethereum is the second largest cryptocurrency by market cap and, as it runs on a decentralized blockchain, anyone can set up a node in order to contribute and take part in running the network.
Many such participants on the Ethereum network make use of cloud computing providers to host their nodes. According to data from Ethernodes.org, almost 62% of all nodes on the Ethereum network operate via a hosting service, such as Amazon. Of those hosted nodes, 14% currently use Hetzner, which means the German company currently hosts 10% of Ethereum nodes.
The issue resurfaced this morning when W3bcloud co-founder Maggie Love lamented this fact in a tweet. Love suggested that Ethereum lacked proper decentralization because it relies so heavily on cloud services like Amazon, which itself accounts for 50% of all hosted Ethereum nodes. The tweet also name-checked Hetzner, and the company replied with a link to a Reddit post which it said customers who are using Ethereum should please read.
In the post, the company said its service should definitely not be used for things related to crypto, including Ethereum. Using our products for any application related to mining, even remotely related, is not permitted, it said.
This includes Ethereum. It includes proof of stake and proof of work and related applications. It includes trading. It is true for all of our products, except colocation.
Hetzner added: We are aware that there are many Ethereum users currently at Hetzner, and we have been internally discussing how we can best address this issue.
Hetzner did not immediately respond to Decrypts request for a comment.

How Snap rebuilt the infrastructure that now supports 347 million daily users – Protocol
In 2017, 95% of Snaps infrastructure was running on Google App Engine. Then came the Annihilate FSN project.
Snap, which launched in 2011, was built on GAE FSN (Feelin-So-Nice) was the name for the original back-end system and the majority of Snapchats core functionality was running within a monolithic application on it. While the architecture initially was effective, Snap started encountering issues when it became too big for GAE to handle, according to Jerry Hunter, senior vice president of engineering at Snap, where he runs Snapchat, Spectacles and Bitmoji as well as all back-end or cloud-based infrastructure services.
Google App Engine wasn't really designed to support really big implementations, Hunter, who joined the company in late 2016 from AWS, told Protocol. We would find bugs or scaling challenges when we were in our high-scale periods like New Year's Eve. We would really work hard with Google to make sure that we were scaling it up appropriately, and sometimes it just would hit issues that they had not seen before, because we were scaling beyond what they had seen other customers use.
Today, less than 1.5% of Snaps infrastructure sits on GAE, a serverless platform for developing and hosting web applications, after the company broke apart its back end into microservices backed by other services inside of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and added AWS as its second cloud computing provider. Snap now picks and chooses which workloads to place on AWS or GCP under its multicloud model, playing the competitive edge between them.
The Annihilate FSN project came with the recognition that microservices would provide a lot more reliability and control, especially from a cost and performance perspective.
[We] basically tried to make the services be as narrow as possible and then backed by a cloud service or multiple cloud services, depending on what the service we were providing was, Hunter said.
Snapchat now has 347 million daily active users who send billions of short videos, send photos called Snaps or use its augmented-reality Lenses.
Its new architecture has resulted in a 65% reduction in compute costs, and Hunter said he has come to deeply understand the importance of having competitors in Snaps supply chain.
I just believe that providers work better when they've got real competition, said Hunter, who left AWS as a vice president of infrastructure. You just get better pricing, better features, better service. We're cloud-native, and we intend on staying that way, and it's a big expense for us. We save a lot of money by having two clouds.
The Annihilate FSN process wasnt without at least one failed hypothesis. Hunter mistakenly thought that Snap could write its applications on one layer and that layer would use the cloud provider that best fit a workload. That proved to be way too hard, he said.
The clouds are different enough in most of their services and changing rapidly enough that it would have taken a giant team to build something like that, he said. And neither of the cloud providers were interested at all in us doing that, which makes sense.
Instead, Hunter said, there are three types of services that he looks at from the cloud.
There's one which is cloud-agnostic, he said. It's pretty much the same, regardless of where you go, like blob storage or [content-delivery networks] or raw compute on EC2 or GCP. There's a little bit of tuning if you're doing raw compute but, by and large, those services are all pretty much equal. Then there's sort of mixed things where it's mostly the same, but it really takes some engineering work to modify a service to run on one provider versus the other. And then there's things that are very cloud-specific, where only one cloud offers it and the other doesn't. We have to do this process of understanding where we're going to spend our engineering resources to make our services work on whichever cloud that it is.
Snaps current architecture also has resulted in reduced latency for Snapchatters.
In its early days, Snap had its back-end monolith hosted in a single region in the middle of the United States Oklahoma which impacted performance and the ability for users to communicate instantly. If two people living a mile apart in Sydney, Australia, were sending Snaps to each other, for example, the video would have to traverse Australia's terrestrial network and an undersea cable to the United States, be deposited in a server in Oklahoma and then backtrack to Australia.
If you and I are in a conversation with each other, and it's taking seconds or half a minute for that to happen, you're out of the conversation, Hunter said. You might come back to it later, but you've missed that opportunity to communicate with a friend. Alternatively, if I have just the messaging stack sitting inside of the data center in Sydney now you're traversing two miles of terrestrial cable to a data center that's practically right next to you, and the entire transaction is so much faster.
If I want to experiment and move something to Sydney or Singapore or Tokyo, I can just do it.
Snap wanted to regionalize its services where it made sense. The only way to do that was by using microservices and understanding which services were useful to have close to the customer and which ones weren't, Hunter said.
Customers benefit by having data centers be physically closer to them because performance is better, he said. CDNs can cover a lot of the broadcast content, but when doing one-on-one communications with people people send Snaps and Snap videos those are big chunks of data to move through the network.
That ability to switch regions is one of the benefits of using cloud providers, Hunter said.
If I want to experiment and move something to Sydney or Singapore or Tokyo, I can just do it, he said. I'm just going to call them up and say, OK, we're going to put our messaging stack in Tokyo, and the systems are all there, and we try it. If it turns out it doesn't actually make a difference, we turn that service off and move it to a cheaper location.
Snap has built more than 100 services for very specific functions, including Delta Force.
In 2016, any time a user opened the Snapchat app, it would download or redownload everything, including stories that a user had already looked at but hadnt yet timed out in the app.
It was a naive deployment of just download everything so that you don't miss anything, Hunter said. Delta Force goes and looks at the client finds out all the things that you've already downloaded and are still on your phone, and then only downloads the things that are net-new.
This approach had other benefits.
Of course, that turns out to make the app faster, Hunter said. It also costs us way less, so we reduced our costs enormously by implementing that single service.
Snap uses open-source software to create its infrastructure, including Kubernetes for service development, Spinnaker for its application team to deploy software, Spark for data processing and memcached/KeyDB for caching. We have a process for looking at open source and making sure we're comfortable that it's safe and that it's not something that we wouldn't want to deploy in our infrastructure, Hunter said.
Snap also uses Envoy, an edge and service proxy and universal data plane designed for large, microservice service-mesh architectures.
I actually feel like the way of the future is using a service mesh on top of your cloud to basically deploy all your security protocols and make sure that you've got the right logins and that people aren't getting access to it that shouldn't, Hunter said. I'm happy with the Envoy implementations giving us a great way of managing load when we're moving between clouds.
Hunter prefers using primitives or simple services from AWS and Google Cloud rather than managed services. A Snap philosophy that serves it well is the ability to move very fast, Hunter said.
I don't expect my engineers to come back with perfectly efficient systems when we're launching a new feature that has a service as a back end, he said, noting many of his team members previously worked for Google or Amazon. Do what you have to do to get it out there, let's move fast. Be smart, but don't spend a lot of time tuning and optimizing. If that service doesn't take off, and it doesn't get a lot of use, then leave it the way it is. If that service takes off, and we start to get a lot of use on it, then let's go back and start to tune it.
Our total compute cost is so large that little bits of tuning can have really large amounts of cost savings for us.
Its through that tuning process of understanding how a service operates where cycles of cloud usage can be reduced and result in instant cost savings, according to Hunter.
Our total compute cost is so large that little bits of tuning can have really large amounts of cost savings for us, he said. If you're not making the sort of constant changes that we are, I think it's fine to use the managed services that Google or Amazon provide. But if you're in a world where we're constantly making changes like daily changes, multiple-times-a-day changes I think you want to have that technical expertise in house so that you can just really be on top of things.
Three factors figure into Snaps ability to reap cost savings: the competition between AWS and Google Cloud, Snaps ability to tweeze out costs as a result of its own work and going back to the cloud providers and looking at their new products and services.
We're in a state of doing those three things all the time, and between those three, [we save] many tens of millions of dollars, Hunter said.
Snap holds a cost camp every year where it asks its engineers to find all the places where costs possibly could be reduced.
We take that list and prioritize that list, and then I cut people loose to go and work on those things, he said. On an annual basis depending on the year, it's many tens of millions dollars of cost savings.
Snap has considered adding a third cloud provider, and it could still happen some day, although the process is pretty challenging, according to Hunter.
It's a big lift to move into another cloud, because you've got those three layers, he said. The agnostic stuff is pretty straightforward, but then once you get to mixed and cloud-specific, you've got to go hire engineers that are good at that cloud, or you've got to go train your team up on the nuances of that cloud.
Enterprises considering adding another cloud provider need to make sure they have the engineering staff to pull it off: 20 to 30 dedicated cloud people as a starting point, Hunter said.
It's not cheap, and second, that team has to be pretty sophisticated and technical, he said. If you don't have a big deployment, it's probably not worth it. I think about a lot of the customers I used to serve when I was in AWS, and the vast majority of them, their implementations were serving their company's internal stuff, and it wasn't gigantic. If you're in that boat, it's probably not worth the extra work that it takes to do multicloud.
