That's right! Once he was Systems Manager Marketing Manager... #AWSPSSUMMIT
He has excellent taste. #AWSPSSUMMIT
I've always seen it as a double-edged sword. At some point you have to start tying disparate services together into a cohesive story, or you'll drive people away by overwhelming them.

I'd have preferred something in the AWS space; he's told similar stories in years past about SimpleDB but--oh my god there are big SimpleDB customers here so he can't!

Y'know how I can tell that @ajassy doesn't have to make Reserved Instance purchases himself?

I respectfully challenge that assertion.

The higher you go, the more impact your words have, and the less you can say.
That kind of message discipline is incredibly hard.
#AWSPSSSummit
My words coming out of his mouth. Granted he's got an incredible bias here, but what he's saying is what I'm seeing in the world.
#AWSPSSSummit
ABSOLUTELY.
"Discounts are volume based, so you're spending more by splitting too."
Yes, but I have some hacks for that, in fairness. :-)
