Santa arrived early and he brought all the goods with him to The Cloud Pod this week. The team dives into all the big announcements from AWS re:invent 2020. 

A big thanks to this week’s sponsor:

  •  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.
    • This week’s highlights
    • Amazon flips the bird at Microsoft with its Babelfish announcement. 
    • AWS is angling for a free Jeep Wrangler with its new service.
    • AWS is helping customers get out of the sticky situation they’re in and don’t know it. 
      • Amazon Web Services: Thankfully They Didn’t Ruin Our Predictions
      • Amazon launches managed workflows for Apache Airflow to simplify data processing pipelines. Interesting to see it giving some alternative options.  
      • AWS Lambda now has Code Signing, a trust and integrity control to confirm code is unaltered and from a trusted publisher. Not a nice way to start Thanksgiving if you are Palo Alto. 
      • Amazon announces centralized account access management of AWS Single Sign-On and Attribute-based access control. Has a few rough edges.  
      • Multi-Region Replication is now enabled for AWS Managed Microsoft Active Directory. We’re so glad this is finally here.
      • Amazon announces reusable building blocks called modules to define infrastructure and applications in AWS CloudFormation. Amazon is jumping on the reusable elements bandwagon with this one.
      • AWS Security Hub integrates with AWS Organizations for simplified security posture management. Basically a centralized security hub.
        • AWS Elasticsearch Announcements: 
        • Amazon Elasticsearch Service announces support for Elasticsearch version 7.9
        • Amazon Elasticsearch Service now supports anomaly detection for high cardinality datasets
