Good Morning!! Its time for Dr. Werner Vogels keynote here on Thursday at #reinvent2019. I will be live tweeting here!
lol “can i call you Verns” in this intro skit leading up to Werner starting.
Missed opportunity to not have Werner pick @QuinnyPig Ah-mee shirt in the selections. :-)
Werner has said he is going to go a “different” way with this keynote this year. I hope that means its ending sooner than last years.
Virtualization has been the bread and butter of cloud computing... its also one of the most expensive.
Many of the challenges Werner just described with virtualization live in your private data center right now. High Jitter, Fighting for network resources, etc. This is why Nitro is a game changer for them and is virtualization done right.
The evolution of Nitro explained through the C3 -> C4 -> C5 and their solving separating the virtualization overhead from the compute.
Its also one of the better names for an Amazon thing, Nitro makes sense and fits with what it does for virtualization.
Trust no one: Kill Dom0. This is every thing that Oracle only they do with Gen 2 cloud. Don’t believe Oracles FUD.
#encrypteverything is a mantra you should be following in everything
New Nitro Enclaves. Ensures your code is exactly what it should be and hasn’t been compromised. This brings the security to the next level and ensure security across your app.
270 new instance types since Nitro was launched.
The amazing Claire Liguria takes the stage to talk about Firecracker
Explaining the magic that makes Fargate work with high levels of customer isolation. we
EKS on EC2 for her app she has shows the spike from keynote mention that results as k8 needs to provision more pods resulting in latency. With fargate this spin up is almost instantaneous.
Wow this use case should make you really think about the power fargate brings to you with K8/Firecracker
new firecracker-containerd runtime available now on github. Claire thanks us and exits. Werner is back.
Vanguard is now on stage talking about their cloud journey
Vanguard talking about their hybrid architecture to connect to Mainframe on premise and their new services on AWS.
Werner is back on the stage and is covering failure scenarios and HA/FT design
Explaining the technical aspects of how EBS breaks up data to ensure the highest levels of fault isolation and support for the whole.
This part of the Werner Keynote is what you should be asking Azure and GCP about how they build services. FT/HA from day 0 is critical to cloud at scale and this is what can burn you on Azure or GCP if you don’t understand their design/build principles.
Amazon Builders LIbrary is the equivalent of Tesla releasing their EV Patterns. Learn from AWS how to build distributed systems at the large scale. Distributed systems are hard, learn from the best.
This overview on ocean currents, photos, inventory from drones is neat. I apologize that i missed your name and you have the decency to focus on content over marketing. ;-)
Ahh Sail Drone.. This is a really cool concept.
Talking about Warehouse as a Service right now.
Things i did not expect today a Nicolas Cage magic reversible sequin pillow cover....
oooh Digging into the Amazon Go technology and some cool simulations of the customers in the store
Using robots and IOT to run a Natural Gas plant is a really cool use case I hadn’t really thought about.
I own a VW, I understand their a brand. But I really don’t want to know how they use AWS to fake their emissions tests...
Aquabyte which i think is in Episode 3 or 4 of the now go build. Pretty interesting in general how they monitor fish farms, etc. We were talking about each episode but dropped it on the @thecloudpod1 if you miss it let us know we’ll bring it back.
And with that the keynote is over. See you at Re:Play tonight.
Apologize for the rapid typing through the keynote to Misspell @clare_liguori name. Loved this whole section highlight of the keynote IMO. I hope you and your husband @anliguori enjoy your new outpost rack and the many Firecracker Fargate containers. :-)
