AWS re:Invent 2023 – Keynote with Dr. Werner Vogels
Dr. Werner Vogels, Amazon.com’s VP and CTO, joins us for his twelfth re:Invent appearance. In his keynote, he covers best practices for designing resilient and cost-aware architectures. He also discusses why artificial intelligence is something every builder must consider when developing systems and the impact this will have in our world.
Featuring customer speakers: Dr. Rebecca Portnoff, Head of Data Science, Thorn; and Cat Swetel, Senior Director of Engineering, Nubank.
Including the launch of AWS Management Console myApplications, Amazon Cloudwatch Application Signals, Amazon SageMaker Studio Code Editor, AWS Application Composer in VS Code, and Amazon Inspector CI/CD Container Scanning.

ABOUT AWS
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform, offering over 200 fully featured services from data centers globally. Millions of customers — including the fastest-growing startups, largest enterprises, and leading government agencies — are using AWS to lower costs, become more agile, and innovate faster.

as usual, proles loving and cheering dystopian tech!

Werner Praises Cage at https://youtu.be/UTRBVPvzt9w?si=kgofQfp7v_8G_Y9W&t=2647 love it.
The profound knowledge in this content is striking. A book with akin insights nurtured a big change in my mindset. "AWS Unleashed: Mastering Amazon Web Services for Software Engineers" by Harrison Quill
Great presentation and a band intro via the shirt choice (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Sweeper_Social_Club).
Good talk very dynamic! I still like to own my car not lease it.
he lost weight, good for him
I love it when technologists step outside their domain and think like economists. Economics is the study of constrained resources, and we have a lot of constraints in the world of computers.
Dr. Vogels did a great job explaining this, but he is unfortunately late to the table. For too many years, we have been consuming cloud services like they are free and have no sustainability impact. Dr. Vogels should have shown the example of energy consumption and the power of Rust many years ago – this is not something new.
We seriously need to behave like frugal architects. For example, we need to question if microservices are always the right architecture. I am happy to see that AWS is more transparent in this area. Microservices can be great, but it may not be great for everything. The same is also true for SQL vs NoSQL databases – I see that AWS is finally getting on the right track.
0:51 Perl joke
41:18 story about Amsterdam and behaviour
1:05:30 fun jab at Larry Ellison
such a warm, charismatic figure
Hello
min 61:28 , that cost to build vs cost to operate graph is fantastic – I wish I could have it some years back when arguing with one of my bosses
I have a Perl Program and an Erlang Program that I wrote 20 Years ago. I don't need to migrate them to the "PUBLIC CLOUD"
What’s a cheap matrix re-enactment 😅
As always, Dr. Werner's keynotes are the annual re:Invent stand out – love it.
The story of Thorn is great example of practical AI.
We need to use tech advancement to make world as better place to live. Solve the current problems instead of imaginary problems.
I love this. I want to be in the next one.
My dude is melting. Give the poor man an A.C
What NuBank have done in Brazil is awesome. I think part of it can be replicated in Kenya. This was a great presentation overall.
LOL – "Can I get some free credits???!?"
"No"
So they make you completely dependent on them for hardware/computing, then jack up the prices and tell you to be frugal lol. Our computing overlords have arrived. Enjoy the bait and switch. Sustainable for Amazon's coffers.
It stinks CULT! It stinks apprentice-sorcerers some of whom have ALREADY A FOOT IN THE GRAVE e.g. Vogels! It stinks a new FORGED RELIGION! Thank God, that will rush the end of this mankind.
Oh my god. Having two little kids…the story of Thorn touches me deeply.
We try to educate our kids at best to encourage them to raise their voice. But knowing that so many kids get no help breaks my heart.
Hope Thorn is able to scale to help even more kids.
🇧🇷💜
Werner looking healthy, I like it
He looks like he lost some weight. Good for him
As a Brazilian, I feel very proud to see Cat Swetel from NU show case what it took to implement PIX using AWS systems. PIX is definitely a 'systemic level change' implemented by the unpartitioned Brazilian government. It has truly made access to bank accounts and transfers more accessible and instantaneous to everyone.
It's something the US and European countries should pay more attention to.
