Raft’s Post

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?!

🌟 Did You Know? AWS Is Not Just About Storage! 🌟 🚀 Dive into the vast universe of AWS, where innovation meets scalability! Did you know that Amazon Web Services is about much more than just cloud storage? Here are some fun facts that showcase the incredible capabilities of AWS: Astronomical Scale: AWS's global infrastructure is so expansive that it is often described as having enough server capacity to power the Starship Enterprise! 🌌 Speed of Light: AWS provides services in 245 countries and territories, including those in the International Space Station! Yes, AWS is quite literally out of this world! 🌍🛰️ Green Power: Did you know that AWS aims to power its operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025? They’re already halfway there! 🌱💡 Service Galore: From machine learning models that can predict your next shopping list to satellite ground stations (AWS Ground Station), AWS is pioneering services that sound like they're straight out of a sci-fi novel! 📚🤖 Always Learning: AWS is like a brain that never stops growing. It adds hundreds of features and services each year, each designed to offer more flexibility, security, and innovation. 🤩 Why It Matters? Embracing AWS means tapping into a network so powerful and diverse that it can literally help launch satellites into space while ensuring your data is as safe as it would be on another planet. #AWS #CloudComputing #Innovation #Sustainability #TechFun
