AWS re:Invent 2018: The Day 0 Buzz and Midnight Madness

Nov 26, 2018

I arrived in Las Vegas from London via LAX yesterday, so a long time sitting in a plane. Thanksgiving weekend is actually a good weekend to travel as its quieter than normal. I caught up with none other than This Week in AWS host, Corey Quinn. I then stretched the legs and saw a show to stay up and adjust the body clock. I slept reasonably well for being 8 hours out of sync, did a run to resync...

Dec 1, 2017

Tim Wagner the AWS Serverless GM and Jeet Kaul from FICO This session was about new things in serverless. Tim reiterated how mazing Lambda is coming, its even inside a camera which was announced in the keynote as well as the top memory size being doubled to 3Gb which also doubled the CPU power.

There were SO many announcements at some stages I actually felt a li...

AWS re:Invent 2017: How AWS Runs Our Weekly Operations Meetings - ENT346

Nov 29, 2017

I was really looking forward to this session, as this is the very first time AWS has opened the kimono on how it actually runs its own operations.

AWS re:Invent 2017: The Day 1 Buzz

Nov 28, 2017

AWS Re:Invent kicked off in ernest today, 43,000 cloud makers and learners spread across 5 hotels, basically taking over Las Vegas. Its difficult to appreciate the size of the conference as you could be involved in part of the conference and be very separate from another area. See my preview posts yesterday, AWS re:Invent 2017: The Show Preview as well as ( for what I’m concentrating on. This m...
