Ever since the first re:Invent that I attended virtually in 2020 I have looked forward to the annual event where AWS takes the stage to announce their latest cloud technology offerings and the immense capabilities they promise to transform the way we do things.
Last night, for 2 hours 30 minutes I listened with rapt attention to Adam Selipsky, AWS CEO, as he made his keynote address. In that time, several AWS business and technology partners like BMW and NVIDIA took to the stage to share the transformative experience with AWS cloud.
Adam Selipsky shared his perspective on cloud transformation. He highlighted innovations in data, infrastructure, as well as artificial intelligence and machine learning that are helping AWS customers achieve their goals faster, mine untapped potential, and create a better future.
Selipsky’s keynote address as well as Peter DeSantis’ on Monday night reinforced my confidence in AWS cloud. I use these technologies and I appreciate why AWS is the leading cloud provider by market share. AWS re:Invent gives me the opportunity to keep note of the state-of-the-art in cloud and evaluate how I currently use it. In December I will make deep reflections and draw up plans of how I might use cloud technologies in 2024.
In the run up to this year’s re:Invent taking place in Las Vegas from November 27 – December 1 I prioritised it and scheduled other events around it and thus far it has lived up to its billing. Later today, Dr. Swami Sivasubramanian, VP, Data and AI, AWS will give his keynote address and on Thursday Dr. Werner Vogels, VP and CTO, Amazon.com will give his Keynote.
This year, 50,000 people are attending re:Invent in person in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA and 300,000 people are following in virtually. It has been a great show so far and if you are a technology enthusiast I encourage you to follow the remainder of AWS re:Invent 2023.
