Now talking about and now the first launch of #reinvent coming from Bill Vass, VP and The Ultimate AWS Bill.
….but he might be referred to as “Dances With Robots” if the #reinvent music kicks in again.
“Build AI enabled robots” but I just wanted to build a website… ☹️
Now using @awscloud services to explore the moon—AWS Moonbase is coming, mark my words.
Introducing @awscloud IoT RoboRunner, a capitalization nightmare and the first release of #reinvent.
It’s in preview now so it’s going to be RoboTumbles for a while.
Can the robots go down stairs? Yes, of course. The real question is can they go down stairs a second time.
On a more serious note this is less about building robots than running them on production at scale. It’s a bit niche, but I bet I can use robots as a database. And they definitely can run containers. #reinvent

Welcome to my first-ever livetweet of an @aselipsky #reinvent keynote as a part of my requinnvent.com coverage. It's 8:30, sarcastically loud, I haven't slept, and it's time to see what our @awscloud friends have worked on all year long.
A reminder: Snarking about companies is usually okay; snarking about people (presenters, etc) is not. Punch up, not down. Be kind.

The failure mode of "clever" is "asshole."
We begin with a jarring transition from "loud rock" to "easy listening combined with a Windows screensaver theme." Clearly the #reinvent graphics refresh was delayed due to... I dunno, not having a bad enough team name or something. Image

Getting into the @awscloud #reinvent partner keynote:

Staff: “Sorry, employees (orange lanyards) aren’t allowed in keynotes.”

Me: “It’s red. The lighting is super odd here.”

Once again I snuck past the “no Corey allowed in keynotes” rule!
And now I will livetweet the @awscloud partner keynote in this thread. #reInvent
@awscloud And now @dougyeum takes the stage and thanks us all for being here in person even though he won't be. "I'm moving to a new role within Amazon. Later, hosers."

I swear, @Quinnypiglet has some quotable moments. Some examples in a holiday thread...
@Quinnypiglet To Ethel, our "dog":

"Sit down, you rude bastard." Harsh, but fair.
@Quinnypiglet "Daddy, close your damn mouth, stop talking, and eat."

Honestly, everyone says this sooner or later.

It'd be rude of me not to test out @_msw_ and company's fine work.

A thread.
Had to add a route table to the subnet that spoke ipv6. Had to also force traffic over @tailscale since @sonic doesn't offer ipv6 natively without tunneling yet, but then it "Just worked" since the emergence node has ipv6 on it. I'm in!
Let's start with security and update the thing. apt says "working" but it's been a suspiciously long time for that to be, y'know. Accurate.

I need a Twitter plane game to play since it's no longer working hours. (Fun fact! On this Seattle --> SFO flight I once read and reviewed @RealGeneKim's entire "Unicorn Project" manuscript before landing.)

Game: name a company and I'll assign them a more appropriate motto.
"We named our company after the most expensive city in the US because we don't do subtle."
When your snack cupboard has its own loading dock.

Hey @jesse_derose we should do a Twitter Spaces about what it means to be a Cloud Economist.

After all...
I am the very model of a modern Cloud Economist
I’ve seen pricing stored in CSV, Parquet and in a JSON list
I’ve walked the booths of re:Invent, and I know services historical
From SQS to EKS, RDS including Oracle
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters more contractual,
Both PPAs and EDPs, multi-cloud and all-in fanatical
About data transfer pricing I'm spitting figures fast and furious,
Hmmm... furious... furious... Aha!
While cross-AZ is bad enough, managed NAT Gateways are usurious
