11:59 re:Invent keynote Recap
15:00 A Quick Recap
Look. We know you care about non-AI things (and so do we), so we’re going to do 25 exciting new announcements in 10 minutes. x8, elon instance, c8a, c8ine instances, m8azn, m3 and m4 max macs, lambda durable functions, 50tb s3 object, s3 batch ops 10x faster, intelligent tiering for s3 tables, automatic replication for s3 tables, s3 access points for FSX netapp, S3 Vectors, GPU Index for Amazon Opensearch, Amazon EMR Serverless with no storage provisioning, Guardduty to ECS & Ec2, Security Hub is GA, Unified data store in cloudwatch, Increases STorage for SQL and Oracle RDS, Optimize CPus for RDS for SQL server, SQL Server Development support, Database Savings Plans. 2 hours on AI…when we would have been really happy with all of THIS as the keynote.
26:08 AI/ML & Amazon Bedrock
29:09 Ryan – “I do agree with you that no one should be building their own foundational models unless it’s really, truly built on a data set that’s unique, but I do think that everyone should go through the exercise of building a model to understand how AI works.”
30:58 Compute (EC2 & Lambda)
33:46 Matt – “I feel like we should have seen this coming, given that they just released the ECS management system a couple of months ago, and it feels like the next step.”
42:24 Containers (EKS & ECS)
43:36 Ryan – “I think this is what I’ve always wanted Beanstalk and Lightsail to be, is this service. This, for me, feels like the best of both worlds.”
45:34 Networking & Content Delivery
50:29 Ryan – “If you’ve ever had to do any kind of compliance evidence, that’s the reason why this exists and that’s why I love it so much. The song and dance that you have to do to illustrate your use of encryption across your environment is painful.”
53:14 Storage (S3 & FSx)
54:38 Matt – “This is just a nice quality of life improvement.”
58:24 Databases
1:01:01 Justin – “This is quite nice, and quite broad, so they definitely heard all of the community saying please bring us database savings plans.”
1:03:33 Security & Identity
1:08:18 Matt – “…it’s definitely competing with Azure releasing the same thing during their conference. The piece I like about this is the pen test piece because it now lives in your source code, which you probably already have in SCA or a static code analysis tool.”
1:11:46 Cost Management & FinOps
1:14:09 Developer Tools & Modernization
1:18:09 Matt – “I mean, I hope all customers have some sort of plan, knowing that I’ve seen many companies say ‘we got this notice six months ago, we’ll deal with it in six months’ and now it’s three weeks and six days, and it expires tomorrow…there’s probably a lot of customers still there.”
1:20:58 Observability & Monitoring
1:21:39 Governance & Management
1:23:05 Matt – “I’ve built three different ways to do this in my career. You always want to know where it came from, so if there’s a vulnerability, you know where to start patching and go up from there…but if you have multiple teams, it’s hard to track. So knowing I can track it is a godsend.”
1:25:35 DevOps & Operations
1:26:41 Ryan – “I hope this ends up being decent service, but in my head I’m thinking they’re lowering the cost because they’re getting rid of all their support staff.”
1:29:29 Marketplace & Partner
1:30:15 Connectivity & Contact Center
