Werner Vogels @Werner AWS re:Invent Keynote is coming up now.

Will be tweeting cool updates from his talk, so follow along!

#AWS #startups #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #cloud #CloudComputing #technology

By now, I mean in 40 minutes 😂...jumped the gun a bit.

But feed is up now and there will be a performance w/ DJ Shiftee and then AWS DeepRacer Championship Cup Finale starting shortly.

Werner's talk is 11 AM EST / 8 AM PST.

This DeepRacer final is pretty tight...

Opening music is legit awesome...some smooth beats for the morning.

Ok, this could be a very cool location for a talk...

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020

Indeed, developers can work anywhere in the world, agree with @werner here.

But many businesses were not prepared for such a world where everything is remote.

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020

Customer sharing now from Lea Von Bidder, CEO of @AvaWomen.

Very cool story of delivering insights on daily fertility and other health needs for women.

All built on AWS helping them to innovate and scale!

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #Cloud #MachineLearning

Another customer story about @brainly on how they scaled to meet the needs of 250 million students, parents, and learning experts.'

Here is their case study:

aws.amazon.com/solutions/case…

With developers remote, AWS Cloud9 usage has taken off in usage. It's an IDE in the cloud, perfect for remote devs.

#AWS #startups #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #cloud #CloudComputing #technology

Announcing AWS CloudShell, having a command line in the browser to power your development and AWS resources!

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #developers #cloud

Learn more about AWS CloudShell here, it is available now for devs to check out!

aws.amazon.com/cloudshell/

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #developers #cloud

Werner is speaking about sustainability and how application builders can meet sustainability goals of business.

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #sustainability #cloud

Doubling down on ARM-based processors at AWS.

Performance & price advantages have been available for cloud workloads through Graviton for quite some time now, delivering results for customers!

aws.amazon.com/ec2/graviton/

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #CloudComputing #cloud

This was the recent announcement at re:Invent on advances on Graviton2.

aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/comi…

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #CloudComputing #cloud

Awesome call out for AWS re/Start., a program to prepare unemployed and underemployed individuals for cloud careers through classroom-based training.

aws.amazon.com/training/resta…

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #cloud

Resiliency, evolvability, and diversity are challenging problems in the cloud...how do we control for fault tolerance?

Also, this tour of a sugar factory is pretty cool...

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #cloud

Always love a story about @LEGO_Group, now featuring Nicole Yip, an Engineering Manager talking about how LEGO scaled their website.

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #cloud #CloudComputing

Great usage of #serverless at LEGO, doubling the number of services while greatly improving performance and resiliency.

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #cloud #CloudComputing

Moving from monolithic architecture to serverless gave LEGO developers more time to innovate, greater self-service, and create more accountability & ownership of code by developers, true vision of #DevOps!

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #cloud #CloudComputing

Dependability is not just about the infrastructure, it also depends on the application logic.

@Werner asks whether we are really doing all we can to help with the code itself?

Should be interesting to see where he is going...

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020

Discussing flowcharts to track how devs can track complex programs.

Automated reasoning or computer aided development is one way to do this. But formal verification is SUPER hard to do!

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #developers

True, everything fails, all the time! @Werner

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020

Fascinating about how S3 evolved and what AWS did to handle strong read-after-write consistency. Read more here:

aws.amazon.com/s3/consistency/

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #cloud #CloudComputing

The same challenge with application code also happens with network architecture. We use automated reasoning for a new release called VPC Reachability Analyzer, more here:

aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-…

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #cloud #CloudComputing

Now diving into how we do things and build things at AWS...

As @Werner says, operations are forever.

That is why we used Rust for many of our systems.

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #cloud #CloudComputing

Now into the chaos engineering section of Werner's talk, exciting stuff!

Chaos engineering is for everyone! Announcing AWS Fault Injection Simulator. So cool!!!

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #cloud #CloudComputing

MTTR is about the operational muscle memory and having chaos engineering develops that muscle.

Huge release for operations teams!

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #cloud #CloudComputing

I kind of want that control panel as my wallpaper😂

Definitely the coolest venue for a talk!

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #cloud #CloudComputing

Monitoring is about what you already know.

But what about you do not know or could expect?

We often operate by intuition to feel when something is not right in your infrastructure....

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #cloud #CloudComputing

Yep, observability...gathering the tools, systems, and data to infer what is going on inside your infrastructure, before they impact your customers!

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #cloud #CloudComputing

Love hearing the story of how AWS started logging and capturing metrics.

That led to Amazon CloudWatch Logs. But that was just the first step!

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #cloud #CloudComputing

Cardinality can be a challenge though letting all developers to capture all their metrics, does not scale. Makes metrics a mess and cannot tell where the faults are happening!

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #cloud #CloudComputing

Shout out to Amazon DevOps Guru, using machine learning to improve operational performance and availability.

Here was the announcement:

aws.amazon.com/devops-guru/

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #cloud #CloudComputing #DevOps

Tracing is a critical component of observability. Canaries help operators learn if something is wrong.

We released CloudWatch Synthetics to help customers to use canaries to improve observability.

aws.amazon.com/about-aws/what…

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #cloud #CloudComputing

Now diving into how AWS looks at operations and the situations we face, with Becky Weiss, one of our senior principal engineers.

A cool inside view of how we think about engineering.

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #cloud #CloudComputing

Now Werner is discussing Grafana and Prometheus, great open source tools for monitoring.

We have two new releases providing managed services to make setting up these services much easier and faster!

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #cloud #CloudComputing

And we are also announcing AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry so you can manage how you collect and export your telemetry data.

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #cloud #CloudComputing

More info on AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry here:

aws.amazon.com/otel/

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #cloud #CloudComputing

We have been doing a lot at AWS to help developers. That is how Amazon CodeGuru & CodeGuru Profiler came about, helping to automate code reviews using machine learning!

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #cloud #developers

Werner sees quantum computing as the next groundbreaking area of innovation, particularly with the impact to science and research.

So true, and we are helping scientists and developers to access this power!

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #cloud #science #QuantumComputing

"Meeting developers where they are." @Werner

That is what we are doing at AWS, and what we are doing for our customers to help them to meet the needs of their customers.

We are all part of the digital future.

#AWS #AWSreInvent #reInvent2020 #Cloud

"Now go build!"

Thanks @Werner for the super informative and inspiring talk!

And that is a wrap, thanks for joining me as I live tweeted 😎
