And now I watch @marknca's talk: "Mistakes Were Made." virtual.awsevents.com/media/t/1_q68y…
TrendMicro: "Hey Mark, why did you expense $40K of streaming equipment but then record your talk while having your driver's license photo taken?"
Now taunting the entire concept of Best Practices. Better known as "whatever the opposite of what Corey does."
Mark echoes my criticism of AWS Well Architected only he does it politely.
He highlights the five pillars that you will proceed to ignore.
What the hell is this!? Isn't there some product or service I can buy that does all of this for me?
Mark reimagines the #reinvent interface if it were better featured / less crap.
Refreshing to see EC2 instances in an architectural diagram in 2020.
"The last time I waited more than ten seconds for anything on the web was in 1997" and honestly he's starting to think that maybe his GET request didn't make it through.
In seriousness my favorite part of this talk is that he's illustrating an app that's designed to solve a problem and its evolution through tested and stable technologies, not a thinly veiled excuse to showcase the latest and greatest everything.
Ah dammit now we're into the Serverless Realm. I spoke too soon! UNLEASH THE MANAGED BLOCKCHAIN!
Sadly I have to run to a meeting, but I recommend catching the replay. I'm told that if it gets 2000 views they will release this cloud-hostage unharmed.

It's the AWS infrastructure keynote with Peter DeSantis, and this is my #reQuinnvent livetweet thread. Like an @awscloud groundhog, this is the one day a year he comes out of the data center to tell us what he's seen, look for his shadow, and use the bathroom.

Music in a minor key about adversity is a great choice to kick off a keynote about infrastructure. Hardware is always depressing; it's a real kick in the rack nuts. #reinvent

So here's an @awscloud Lambda@Edge problem that's haunted me for ages. A thread, as I thrash and attempt to learn the things I don't know...
Curling the official @awscloud status page takes .3 seconds to complete. If I curl stop.lying.cloud, that takes 23 seconds to complete. And it absolutely should not.
The domain points to a CloudFront distribution. That distribution invokes a Lambda function that returns HTML with my suitable modifications to the payload.

And now the Data Analytics leadership session at #reinvent--oh what the damn hell. @rahulpathak didn't dress up for our podcast recording nearly so well!
This entire slide also applies to the @awscloud bill.
"Here's how Moderna uses our services to fight the pandemic, so you can feel better about using those same services to show ads to people."

So let's talk about the sad part of #reinvent-done-virtual: the sponsor hall.

"Wait, there's a sponsor hall?"

Sure there is! Let's go visit!
Log into the #reinvent site. In the far upper left is an unassuming three line "hamburger."
If you click it, it expands into a full sidebar menu. Midway down, you'll see a "Sponsors" option.

What the... it's not April 1st. @CentOSProject is ending support for CentOS 8 years early.

Don't worry, I know where to escalate this to. Image
This is how you learn to do Linux admin by the way. You move from channel to channel on IRC as you get redirected. Image

Now Steve Schmidt's Security Leadership session.
Okay, this resonates massively.
Skipping past the recap of existing security services. There are a LOT of them. If you enable all of them it will cost you more than a data breach would. #reinvent
