We’re back and we’ve got the juice!
Let’s celebrate 🎉 It’s been 15 years of existence for AWS, and 10 for re:Invent itself…
Werner Vogels, CTO of Amazon, quoted a few another couple of impressive figures during his keynote, such as:
✔ 60 million EC2 instances launched per day (twice as much as in 2019)
✔ Half a billion API calls per second to the AWS Identification and Authenficaction service (IAM)
✔ More than 200 services (which he calls “primitives”) to build business solutions
✔ 21 regions, 91 availability zones, and 9 new regions announced for an unparalled global footprint
👀 But his actual vision, his target is what he calls the Everywhere Cloud, the ubiquity of the processing power, accessible everywhere, all the time, with a negligible latency. AWS certainly has the means to achieve this vision.
👉 Last but not least, a new pillar has been added to the “Well Architected Framework”: sustainability. AWS customers are encouraged to build frugal solutions, let’s hope the message is heard !
