I'm going all-in on Serverless at AWS! :-)

Aug 1, 2019

I'm super excited to be joining AWS as a Senior Developer Advocate for the Serverless Product Group. I've been busily working as an IT practitioner on the customer side my entire career. 20ish years (eek!) mixing up IT infrastructure with radio stations, journalism and finance. Now seems the perfect time to abstract that all away and transition to the vendor side starting in September. I'll be...

Serverless: The Minimilism Mindset

Jul 9, 2019

There's always been a lot of talk about defining "Serverless". That's what you get for coming up with a term that describes what something isn't rather than what something is. There isn't actually an authoritative definition of what "serverless" is, as it depends on what message your trying to convey, and that's actually OK, we've somehow managed to eventually understand what "cloud" generally...

Connecting VMware Cloud on AWS to Native AWS Services - a UKVMUG presentation

Dec 13, 2018

I had the huge pleasure today of presenting a community talk at the UK VMUG in the stellar location of the UK National Space Center in Leicester...there was an actual rocket! I've been super interested in the recent love fest of VMware and AWS. The titans of private and public clouds have entered into a marriage of stratospheric nerdy potential.

AWS re:Invent 2018: A Serverless Journey: AWS Lambda Under the Hood - SRV409

Nov 30, 2018

This looked like a super interesting session as AWS doesn't often let you peek under the hood of how it runs its infrastructure. Of all the AWS services, Lambda is arguably the most interesting under the hood as the whole point of Lambda is you don't have to worry about what's underneath that hood and there's a big engine! Running Highly Available Large Scale systems is a lot of work. When you...

AWS re:Invent 2018: The Day 4 Buzz and the re:Play Party

Nov 30, 2018

Before the keynote there was a DeepRacer final race from the people who were learning yesterday in the same workshop I attended: AWS re:Invent 2018: Robocar Rally 2018 – AIM206 It was a little disappointing, the cars didn’t seen to go as fast as the lap times yesterday.

AWS re:Invent 2018: DeepRacer Workshop - AIM206

Nov 29, 2018

Well, we were super lucky. I was excited before as you can't get more hackathon than a Robocar Rally which this was in the session list as. During the ( this morning, DeepRacer was announced which is a machine learning car. I'm the first to admit I haven't done much machine learning so this appealed to me as it was for developers with no prior ML or robotic experience. You can play along: ( We...

Nov 29, 2018

Tim Bray from AWS, very distinguished software engineer, developed XML and JSON! AWS is happy to sell you some of everything. The AWS console is a vast list of choices, but how do you chose when there are multiple technologies to link together to achieve an outcome, never mind multiple options of the dame thing? Multiple databases, multiple streaming options, multiple instance types. Serverless...
