In 2017, @werner gave a keynote that foretold the future—#theWernerProphecies. What will he reveal at #reinvent today?

Welcome to my #requinnvent livetweet thread.

This #reinvent DJ set was filmed before COVID, he's just wearing a mask because he's super anal about not getting dust on any of his records.

The hidden benefit of wearing a mask to DJ is that you can beatbox along with the music without spitting all over your equipment.

Me, configuring services manually in the @awscloud console.

#reinvent

When @werner takes you on a biking tour of Amsterdam, his hometown. #reinvent

The AWS CTO gets stuck behind the IBM and HPE CTOs. Traffic sucks. #reinvent

Now @werner shows off either the Snowcone, or the crappiest / heaviest Kindle Oasis in years. #reinvent

"Developers can work anywhere" says @werner.

But they'll still require coaxing.

Talking about the Ava bracelet now.

The Ava bracelet is powered by Elastic Beanstalk because That Shit Works(tm).

Now @werner is talking about Cloud9. You may have forgotten @awscloud's Cloud IDE. I mean, AWS certainly did for the past two years... #reinvent

But @werner likes the terminal instead.

Launching AWS CloudShell! #reinvent

This is huge if for no other reason than "you can now teach an @awscloud training class to newcomers without having to spend the first few hours getting everyone over the IAM user provisioning and credential exchange hump."

Up to 1 gig of persistent storage in your home directory. I wonder if I can mount EFS and suddenly this replaces my dev box? #reinvent

Now @werner talks about counting Arm processors in his office and coming up with 17.

18 if he ever finds the Annoyatron I slipped into his @awscloud Seattle office. thegreenhead.com/2008/12/annoy-… #reinvent

Is someone at @awscloud launch ops sleeping?

Now @werner is learning a new language: Rust.

He's nailing the first tenet; instead of "Hello World" the first lesson of Rust is how to evangelize Rust. #reinvent

(Unless @werner's demands are met he will fire the laser to melt the earth's core. He found himself in a sugar factory, was digging the supervillain vibe, and just kinda ran with it.) #reinvent

It is a travesty that they have a #reinvent story about @LEGO_Group and didn't let @jeffbarr intro the segment.

Oh no. @awscloud, WHAT HAVE YOU JUST DONE

#reinvent

Session Manager, Change Manager, and Fleet Manager all roll up to Systems Manager, but it hasn't been promoted to Systems Director because it's apparently a woman in tech. #reinvent

The @jeffbarr Cloud Shell post is up. He says inbound connections aren't allowed.

I say my ssh reverse tunnel says otherwise and now I'm using it as a database. #reinvent

Meanwhile @awscloud has landed @TwitterSRE as a customer. That's huge. #reinvent techcrunch.com/2020/12/15/twi…

Now @werner is talking about formal verification with the database S3. #reinvent

Now talking about the VPC Reachability Analyzer.

"Isn't that just Ping / Traceroute." Sure, once those tools can tell you which security group rule is blocking your connection. #reinvent

Waiting for it to be enabled on my account, but I hope this works better via federated login than Cloud9 did. It forgot who I was between sessions. #reinvent

ANNOUNCEMENT: Chaos Engineering as a service; AWS FIS (Fault Injection Simulator, yes it has three syllables). #reinvent

I'm curious how FIS compares with running in an Azure region. #reinvent

Meanwhile in your corporate IT department AWS SSO supporting Microsoft AD sync just caused someone to spew their Jolt Cola all over the screen. #reinvent aws.amazon.com/about-aws/what…

"Log. EVERYTHING." Unfortunately for @werner, unlike experience there are very much compression algorithms for log files. #reinvent

Now @werner is talking about their work with observability and cardinality, and how they've been leading the way in this space. Strangely he keeps mispronouncing @honeycombio as @awscloud. #reinvent

Now Becky Weiss! She is AWESOME; many of the best parts of @awscloud made manifest into one remarkably versatile senior engineer. #reinvent

Talking about how automation only goes so far, you need humans in the loop for some things. #reinvent

"The operationally trained brain" is a great phrase by Becky Weiss that I hear as "those who have been abused by PagerDuty." #reinvent

ANNOUNCEMENT: @awscloud Managed Service for Grafana and Prometheus #reinvent

We go now to @TwitchiH as a representative of... well, both, to talk about what this might mean. I'm not wading into that mess! #reinvent

AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry, since "Open Distro for Elasticsearch" was such a strong win for the @awscloud Service Namers. #reinvent

And now let’s make fun of it! Join @divlams and me on Twitch right now. Twitch.tv/lastweekinaws #reinvent #requinnvent
