#aws #reinvent Control Tower will provide prescriptive backup plans. More of this please.
Control Tower needs more opinionated policies. Landing Zone Accelerator kinda provides prescriptive configs, but it's a half backed solution that very few customers use. https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2024/11/aws-control-tower-prescriptive-backup-plans-landing-zone/

The feature updates for #AWS are thinning out now. We'll have to wait till next week for anything really good.

These are the updates from those product teams which didnt get a ticket to #reinvent

#aws #reinvent S3 will now calculate checksums on uploads by default. Sensible change IMO. https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2024/12/amazon-s3-default-data-integrity-protections/

#aws #reinvent Data Transfer Terminals. Will they co-locate with those Amazon delivery lockers? Collect your anime themed tea set and upload a TB of selfies. https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2024/12/aws-data-transfer-terminal-high-speed-data-uploads

#aws #reinvent I won't comment on all the updates overnight. Most of them are pretty boring and niche. Also there's the disposable AI junk that is mandatory these days.

These are probably the most interesting:

#aws #reinvent Security Incident Response. You can never have enough single panes of glass. If you're not looking at security hub, AWS can do it for you. https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2024/12/aws-security-incident-response/

A few more #aws #reinvent feature drops overnight.

Going over my list of notes, at the top I have "more Q junk". I can probably leave that in my notes for every day.

#aws #reinvent conditional writes for S3 is mildly interesting. Not really atomic updates, but it might save money and improve client performance under certain circumstances
Split over multiple updates for *reasons*. but here's the useful link
https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2024/11/amazon-s3-functionality-conditional-writes

#aws #reinvent #SSM EC2 AMI lineage info is mildly interesting. Some ppl will care a lot.

why do we need to wait for reinvent for features that should already exist?

#aws #reinvent EKS Hybrid Nodes. You can manage your on-prem nodes with EKS. If your k8s nodes interact with AWS based resources and services, this might be a better architecture. https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2024/12/amazon-eks-hybrid-nodes
