Reflections from Day 1 of AWS DC Summit with Dane Curran: 1. AWS is putting A LOT of thought and investment into the edge/tactical edge, but a LOT of the other industry players aren’t there yet. Edge does not mean air gapped, but it also does not mean always connected. Individual edges are effectively isolated AZs, but failing over to another AZ is not a great option. Your edge finds resiliency through autonomy and graceful degradation. Those are the critical pieces that are not yet well understood. 2. Security can’t just be on paper. It’s FAR easier to architect secure solutions on paper (Lucid, Vizio, white boards, policies, etc.) than to implement them, and if we define impossible objectives we’ll never reach appropriately secured. Start somewhere that can be achieved and is acceptable, then improve. Some organizations are great at this, some are too liberal, and some are too strict. 3. Am I the only one that didn’t know AWS GovCloud is 100% powered by renewable energy? Speaking for some friends hoping for an inhabitible earth in a few decades, that’s AWESOME. How is that not more widely known?!
