In this episode of AWS TechChat, we continue with part 2 of AWS re:Invent 2020 series with this episode covering Application Development, Containers, and Database announcements.
In this episode of AWS TechChat, we start the 4 parts of AWS re:Invent 2020 recap series with this episode focusing on security, networking, compute, and storage announcements.
In this themed episode of AWS TechChat, we are joined by Darko Meshzaros as he helps to navigate all things Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Configuration Management. IaC is such an important concept for advancing your IT maturity. In this episode we take a journey around IaC and Configuration Management and talk about some of the core concepts and hopefully demystify many of these topics for you. We answer the questions on why we use IaC, discuss about elasticity with IaC and share with you the differences between IaC vs. Configuration Management. Before closing out, we talk through some relevant AWS services such as AWS CloudFormation, AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK), AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM), Cloud Development Kit for Terraform (cdktf), Cloud Development Kit for Kubernetes (cdk8s) and the AWS OpsWorks family.
In this episode of AWS TechChat, we welcome Shai Perednik to the TechChat team as we perform a tech round-up from September to October of 2020. We cover a plethora of topics today, we start the show talking about price reductions with AWS IoT Events dropping a mammoth 86%. Amazon Connect - our ever-popular phone system in the cloud decreases telephony costs for outbound calls across six countries in Europe. We then move to compute, more AWS Graviton2 instances are available in more regions. Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) now has AWS Graviton2-based instances with MySQL and Amazon Aurora. AWS Backup supports application-consistent backups for Windows instances and we also talk about AWS File Gateway performance upgrades. In terms of Virtual Private Server (VPS) workloads, Amazon Lightsail offers an Amazon Machine Images (AMI) like experience with OS blueprints. On the container front, Amazon CloudWatch adds Prometheus support and there are EC2 security groups and customizable service IP ranges for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). We then pivot to serverless and database updates, AWS Lambda adds support in the console for AWS Step Functions, making the process of authoring state machines and Lambda functions even easier and with AWS Launch Wizard, you can now easily deploy SQL Server Always On availability groups on Ubuntu Server. Before we close out, we cover a few networking updates. Amazon CloudFront launch Origin Shield which is another caching layer that collapses requests from Edge Locations and Regional Edge Caches to the closest Regional Edge Cache to the origin, providing an increased cache hit ratio and a reduction of load on the origin. A great feature release if your application has a global audience.
Shane Baldacchino - Edge Specialist Solutions Architect, ANZ, AWS | Gabe Hollombe - Principal Developer Advocate, AWS
In this themed episode of AWS TechChat, I am joined by Gabe Hollombe and we look at two relatively new AWS Services - Amazon EventBridge and Amazon AppFlow. We start the show revisiting a messaging foundation and what are the gaps Amazon EventBridge fills in our product portfolio. We discuss that Amazon EventBridge is a serverless event bus that makes it easy to connect applications using data from your applications, SaaS applications, and AWS services before contrasting Amazon EventBridge to Amazon CloudWatch Events. Then we pivot to Amazon EventBridge Schema Registry which allows you to discover, create, and manage OpenAPI schemas for events on Amazon EventBridge. You can find schemas for existing AWS services, create and upload custom schemas, or generate a schema based on events on an event bus. Lastly, we talk about Amazon AppFlow, an even newer AWS service. Amazon AppFlow allows you to securely transfer data between SaaS applications like Salesforce, Marketo, and Slack with AWS services like Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Redshift in just a few clicks.

In this episode of AWS TechChat, join us as we perform a tech round-up from July to August of 2020. We start the show with containers, and we talk about AWS Controller for Kubernetes (ACK) which means you can leverage AWS services directly in your Kubernetes applications. Compute wise, Amazon EC2 Inf1 instances featuring AWS Inferentia chips are now available in additional AWS regions and EC2Launch is now at v2 with a range of new features, including renaming of the administrator account. We then introduce a new Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volume type - Provisioned IOPS SSD (io2) which fits in between io1 and General Purpose SSD (gp2) based volumes. It has 99.999% of durability and up to 64,000 IOPS per EBS volume. On the development front, AWS Step Functions adds support for string manipulation, new comparison operators, and improved output processing. Amazon API Gateway HTTP APIs adds integration with five AWS services, meaning you no longer need to proxy through code as well as Amazon API Gateway now supports enhanced observability via access logs. Amazon Lightsail now offers content delivery network (CDN) distributions to accelerate content delivery. Lightsail CDN, which is backed by Amazon CloudFront offers three fixed-price data plans, including an introductory plan that's free for 12 months. Before closing out, we talk about AWS Glue version 2.0 which has some sizeable changes around functionality, cost, and speed.
