The Cloud Pod

Episode 95 – THE BEST IS YET TO COME!!!

Listen Later

This week on The Cloud Pod, the team used their slightly cloudy crystal balls to share their predictions for Re:Invent 2020. They hope Amazon doesn’t ruin them before the event.

A big thanks to this week’s sponsors:

  • Foghorn Consulting, which provides full-stack cloud solutions with a focus on strategy, planning and execution for enterprises seeking to take advantage of the transformative capabilities of AWS, Google Cloud and Azure.
    • Cloud Academy, which provides an intuitive and scalable training platform to meet teams wherever they are along the cloud maturity curve. Use the code THECLOUDPOD for 50% off its training platform.
      • This week’s highlights
      • Amazon spoils the prediction party by revealing a new product just before Re:Invent.
      • Google is making sandcastles by itself in the sandbox. 
      • Azure is smart enough not to announce anything exciting right before Amazon’s big day.
        • Amazon Web Services: Crushing Hopes and Dreams
        • Amazon Lightsail lets developers easily deploy containers in the cloud. This is like the cloud version of candy-flavored tobacco — somebody out there will be excited.
        • Amazon announces visual data preparation tool AWS Glue DataBrew. Really cool — we wish they’d created this sooner! 
        • AWS Key Management Service now supports three new hybrid post-quantum key exchange algorithms. We’re just happy that the defense is ahead of the offense this time.
        • Amazon launches AWS Network Firewall, a highly available, managed network firewall service for VPC. Peter is angry that Amazon killed one of his Re:Invent predictions.
        • Introducing Amazon S3 Storage Lens for organization-wide visibility into object storage. We think the dashboard is built on years of customer complaints, not experience.
          • Re:Invent Predictions

          Prediction rule: If it’s already been officially announced by Amazon, then it doesn’t count. It needs to be in the rumor mill and somewhat specific.

          • Peter
            • Integration between Sumerian and Chime/Slack (messaging service) for virtual in-person meetings
            • Major upgrade to CloudWatch/Logs/GuardDuty/CloudWatch Events (SIEM) but an actual SIEM product. Will have its own name or does something to GuardDuty
            • Robot SDK for tight integrations into AWS Cloud
            • Jonathan
              • Serverless graph database
                • ...more
