1\ Some random thoughts on AWS Reinvent keynote

2\ AWS continues to push the infrastructure primitives hard, but pace and surface area of innovation seems to be slowing. Scope of cloud platform increasingly mature.
3\ Yay, another Kubernetes distribution. Joining 69 others cncf.io/certification/…
4\ AWS definitely not in the relational maximalist/multi-modal database camp. I'm sure that has nothing to do with not owning an RDBMS...
5\ Empire did not manage to strike back against Snowflake. Jassy had a vague and perfunctory aside touting Redshift but that was it. Will talk more about this with @Bob_Muglia about at next week's @cloudcitymeetup

6\ AWS ML strategy seems to be quantity over quality

7\ Did not say “Hello!” to any OSS projects. Nor any reconciliations with various projects/companies busy complaining to antitrust authorities.
8\ Is this the year AWS gets serious about competing for a broader share of wallet by getting serious about SaaS? After teeing up a section on “reinventing horizontal apps”, answer still no.
9\ Connect (the AWS call center app) got lots of time. They are backing into CRM and sales engagement with Connect.
10\ Attempted revisionist history on hybrid was bizarre. Ignores their own history and fact other clouds have led with cloud-out model for hybrid/edge/on-premises. AWS really wants to believe they invented everything they do. And confusing for customers.
11\ Maybe next year is the year AWS will be able to utter the term “multi-cloud”? Probably need to figure out how to redefine it so it was their idea...
12\ Still don’t understand why this “event” isn’t three days or perpetual. Why three weeks? FIN
