Thursday starts with one of the most awaited keynote of the conference. The keynote Werner Vogels, CTO of Amazon.com. He started with a video inspired by the famous scene from Matrix when Neo has to choose between the blue pill and red pill. Neo takes the red pill and exit the simulation. Werner also took the pill. But he entered…
Traditionally, the 3rd day is almost always the busiest and the most crowded in the sessions. I followed 4 breakout sessions, one 2 hours workshop and found some time to visit the Expo to see some sponsors and look for goodies 🙂 Confidential compute I have not really paid attention beforehand but I attended sessions mainly on security topics. I…
The second day usually starts with the keynote from Adam Selipsky, CEO of AWS. The keynote is not a technical session but it’s a good place to learn about new products or services launches. In such big event, it’s show as well. When you enter the room, there is a band playing music and I liked the setlist full of…
On Thursday morning, I attended the keynote Dr Werner Vogels, CTO of Amazon. I have the feeling it’s one of the most awaited keynote, Werner Vogels is not just launching new services but also provide a better view on the architecture of the Cloud. The keynote started with a movie about Werner Vogels doing a road trip to Las Vegas.…
Time flies, it’s already the 3rd day at AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas. As I like to have dedicated time for hands-on I started again the day with another workshop. It’s a lot of knowledge to process daily, when taking the workshop here, AWS provides a temporary account and prepared environments but hopefully most of the workshops can be done…
The 2nd day in Las Vegas at the AWS re:Invent started by one of the most important keynote. It was the keynote from Adam Selipsky, the new CEO of AWS replacing Andy Jassy who moved to Amazon after leading AWS since 2006. As usual, the keynote is a good opportunity to speak about the past successes and announce new services…
This week, I consider myself lucky I’m working with AWS at customer and at dbi since few years now and I consider myself lucky to attend the conference in person. At re:Invent, there are different types of content so you can adapt your schedule. I personally tried this year to get some diversity, I started the week with a workshop…
By Franck Pachot . This year is not very nice for conferences as everything is virtual and we miss the most important: meeting and sharing with people. But the AWS re:Invent is actually a great experience. As an AWS Data Heros, I received an Oculus Quest 2 to teleport to the virtual Neon City where we can meet and have…
On Friday, it’s the last day for AWS re:Invent convention in Las Vegas. I didn’t know in advance what to expect because I have to admit that even if I started to use AWS, there is still a lot to learn. And that’s why I personally think working with technology is interesting, it’s always moving and there is always something new to…
Thursday morning it’s time for the keynote from Dr Werner Vogels. A big part of the keynote was about databases again. Maybe AWS people knows that there are still lots of DBAs out there! It’s also again a focus on Amazon Aurora (relational), Dynamo DB (NoSQL) and AWS Redshift that are replacing Oracle databases Amazon was using. There was also a…
On Wednesday morning, this is the big day for AWS re:Invent conference. The day started with a 3 hours keynote from Andy Jassy, CEO of AWS.The keynote covered a lot of different topics: databases, blockchain, machine learning… As most keynotes, it started with some numbers and AWS is still a strong leader on the public Cloud if you look at…
Second day in Las Vegas for the AWS re:Invent conference. It was time to travel a little bit around the campus to attend some sessions at the Aria. The planning was still around databases and a bit AWS knowledge. The shuttle service worked perfectly in both directions with a reasonable time travel between the 2 hotels. But with such time…
