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. I recently attended AWS re:Invent ( What interest...

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. Later on in the day I actually picked up my very own DeepRacer, this is going to be fun to play with! Werner Vogels Keynote So...

AWS re:Invent 2018: Build a Photo-Sharing App with AI-Powered Face and Object Detection - MOB306

Nov 29, 2018

Dustin Noyes and Gabriel Hollombe from AWS Another workshop, so my fingers have been getting a workout today, and no easy passive listening to speaker sessions for me! This workshop was another one I didn't have any previous knowledge of and seemed interesting to learn something new like my previous session: ( You can play along at home with good instructions ( We had to build a data-driven web a...

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...

AWS re:Invent 2018: Inside AWS: Technology Choices for Modern Applications - SRV305

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...

AWS re:Invent 2018: Modern Application Development: A Leadership Discussion - SRV325

Nov 29, 2018

This was in the beautiful Venetian Theatre. This was a leadership discussion which had interested me as I wanted to hear a different perspective. I've done a fair few deep dive technical sessions so wanted an executive higher level view particularly looking at how to "do" faster innovation. AWS has so many choices across serverless, containers, and developer tools, how and what do you pick? Dav...

AWS re:Invent 2018: The Day 3 Buzz

Nov 29, 2018

Into Day 3 of the conference which is when more of the announcements start rolling in! As I've settled into Vegas time zone, this felt like an early wake up to make it in time to the keynote as there was going to be a queue. It would be far more sensible to stay in a hotel or other venue and watch remotely but feeling the reactions in the room for the announcements seems more interesting. The k...

AWS re:Invent 2018: Werner Vogels Keynote Thoughts

Nov 29, 2018

_Thanks to ( for the great pic!_ Some people say Werner is still delivering the long keynote from last year and we’re just coming in to see another instalment! Andy Jassy yesterday may be talking to the executives, today’s the turn of Werner to talk more technical and give us some of his considerable wisdom (you do know Werner isn’t just some “standard” tech CTO but one of the world’s recognise...

AWS re:Invent 2018: Andy Jassy Keynote Thoughts

Nov 28, 2018

I had no intention of live blogging the keynote, far too much information and others who are quicker typists! There were SO many announcements he went through, some from the previous week or so and many new...at some stages I actually felt a little overwhelmed, not only from the number of announcements but more for the implications of what we’re seeing. A quick way to see the list of announceme...
