Ok, @topper.me.uk here for the final AWS re:Invent keynote of the year. This one is Werner Vogels, CTO of Amazon.com, and unusually it's just an hour long - which is probably for the best, because it's pretty late here in the UK.

DeSantis tells the story of how original EC2 performance was subject to jitter, as a result of the virtualisation mechanism. To solve this, they built AWS Nitro, the hardware virtualisation platform that underpins the whole AWS cloud.

Sorry, @topper.me.uk again. It's time for the Infrastructure Innovations keynote from AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas. In this keynote we usually expect to hear Peter DeSantis and Dave Brown talk about some of the impressive feats of engineering that keep this hyperscaler up and running.

Hello again! @topper.me.uk here reporting from the second AWS re:Invent keynote, this time given by Dr Swami Sivasubramanian. The keynote is titled "The Future of Agentic AI is Here" which might well mean we get less Sagemaker and other data content today, but let's see.

Right, @topper.me.uk here - it's AWS re:Invent keynote time! Today, CEO Matt Garman opens proceedings. I'll be covering it as best I can from here in the UK, where I'm grateful not to have been awake from 4am, and then crammed into a keynote theatre (or "theater" as they call it there).

Hello! @topper.me.uk here. It has been quiet of late hasn't it? Well, luckily for me, there's no algorithm to penalise that, and luckily for you it's AWS re:Invent time again, so you get to see a barrage of updates from me on the topic.

Rise and shine nerds: It’s AWS Summit London day - all the fun of re:Invent without the abject horror and physical toll of being in Vegas. I’ll be on @scalefactory.com this morning from 10, doing what I can to cover the live keynote, subject to the usual caveats about the connectivity at ExCeL.

Hello again from Las Vegas on Day 3 of AWS re:Invent 2024. @topper.me.uk here, up bright and early for the final keynote, hosted by CTO Werner Vogels. Werner's keynotes are typically a good balance of technical an commercial content, so let's see if that's true today too!

Hi, @topper.me.uk here on Day One of AWS re:Invent 2024 in Las Vegas. Rumours that today started at a time best described as “late morning” because of jet lag[ers] and some fairly solid networking (not that kind) in the Wynn can neither be confirmed nor denied.
