Hello from the Los Angeles #awssummit of Anaheim; it's livetweeting time.

In the summit app, the @awscloud billing services once again get snubbed. Sad!

And we're starting with an Intel processor video. Surely there will be nothing @awscloud says later in this presentation that could possibly imply that Intel processors were anything other than the absolute best option for all of your workloads.

And @mndoci takes the stage. He's the @awscloud VP of Containers and Serverless. So "basically every AWS service if you squint hard enough."

Talking about the Amazonian Leadership Principle of "Invent & Simplify (and then make it run containers)" and how it drives innovation company-wide.

Talking now about how the Space Shuttle's boosters are determined by the size of horse butts in ancient Rome; we've heard this before in previous keynotes that I've livetwote.

More interesting fact: the @casciencecenter is 26 miles away and has "Endeavor" there for viewing.

Getting the space shuttle maneuvered through the streets was an absolutely massive undertaking. They didn't let the horse asses contribute to the project: theatlantic.com/photo/2012/10/…

"With over 500 EC2 instance types, you almost certainly want to run containers to normalize them, right?"

Sorry, I kinda view the "Apple Silicon" processor option as something of a technicality here.

I confess I'm starting to build something new (more to come!) that unfortunately will live in Kubernetes. Early testing has been positive, and the entire thing is Arm architecture start to finish so far.
