In Season 4, Episode 7 Karl & Jon are joined by AWS Community Builder, Ryan Cormack . They discuss AWS Step Functions, reshaping AWS CloudFormation stacks with stack refactoring, AWS Verified Access support for non-HTTP resources, AWS's full-year profit and revenue growth, AWS documentation updates and future plans and the guys think Mark Zuckerberg's AI predictions are about as accurate as his metaverse hype – both seem to exist in a virtual reality! 05:43 - AWS Step Functions expands data source and output options for Distributed Map This update allows Step Functions to process different file formats from S3, including JSONL and delimited files (semicolon and tab). It improves the ability to handle large datasets and reduces the need for data manipulation before processing. The distributed map feature can now handle up to 10,000 concurrent executions, making it powerful for big data processing. 10:45 - Reshape your AWS CloudFormation stacks seamlessly with stack refactoring This new feature allows users to more easily break down large CloudFormation stacks into smaller, more manageable stacks. It addresses the issues of slow updates and potential errors in large stacks. While not entirely seamless, it provides a much-needed solution for those stuck with large CloudFormation stacks and offers a way to improve infrastructure management. 16:19 - AWS Verified Access support for non-HTTP resources is now generally available This feature allows users to connect to private resources like databases without needing bastion hosts or jump boxes. It provides a more secure, token-scoped access method integrated with single sign-on providers. While it requires a client on the user's machine and currently lacks Windows support, it's a step towards simplifying secure access to private resources in AWS. 23:25 - AWS sees full-year profit and revenue growth as AI and public cloud demand soars AWS reported significant growth in revenue (19% to $28.8 billion) and profits (up to $10.6 billion) compared to the previous year. The growth is attributed to increased demand for AI and public cloud services. While the exact contribution of AI services to this growth is unclear, the company plans to invest heavily in infrastructure to support AI and related technologies. 31:59 - AWS Documentation update — progress, challenges, and what’s next for 2025 AWS is improving its documentation with new features like decision guides to help users choose the right services. The company is also exploring AI integration to enhance documentation searchability and summarization. While AWS documentation is generally considered good, there's room for improvement in areas like search functionality and providing more comprehensive examples.…

Other innovations mentioned include zero ETL integrations with Redshift and SageMaker Lakehouse, and improvements to DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX). The speakers debate the practical value of some features like DAX, with Jon suggesting many teams may not need it. 12:19 - re:Invent 2024 Cost Optimization highlights that you were not expecting They discuss the unexpected cost optimization opportunities from re:Invent 2023. Key points include new features for Bedrock, intelligent tiering for FSX for Open ZFS, and improvements to SageMaker scaling. The speakers particularly highlighted the blurring lines between EFS and FSX, and the benefits of new auto-scaling capabilities for cloud applications. 20:03 - Migrating workflows from Amazon Elastic Transcoder to AWS Elemental MediaConvert They discuss the upcoming discontinuation of Amazon Elastic Transcoder and the need to migrate to AWS Elemental Media Convert. Jon explains the differences and advantages of Media Convert, including better codec support and higher resolution capabilities. The speakers emphasize the importance of this migration for users of Elastic Transcoder. 26:02 - Abandoned AWS S3 buckets can be reused in supply-chain attacks that would make SolarWinds look 'insignificant' They talk about the potential security risks associated with abandoned AWS S3 buckets, as these buckets can be reused in supply chain attacks. Dave explains that this is not a new issue and advises against exposing S3 buckets publicly, recommending the use of CloudFront as a protective measure. 31:19 - A Decade Of AWS Lambda — Has Serverless Delivered On Its Hype They discuss the adoption of serverless in enterprises versus smaller businesses, noting that perception might be skewed due to how costs appear on bills.

In Season 4, Episode 5 Karl & Jon are joined by AWS Hero, Peter Sankauskas. They discuss Amazon S3 metadata, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, DeepSeek R1, Amazon Simple Email Service, AWS survey on AWS service usage and trends and Jon finally got to go Apple reaction crazy for our 100th episode! 06:14 - Amazon S3 Metadata is now generally available This feature, announced at re:Invent, is now generally available. It provides automated metadata for S3 objects, potentially reducing the need for manual metadata management. However, it's currently only available in three US regions and has a complex pricing structure that may be challenging to calculate. 10:52 - AWS Elastic Beanstalk adds default support of EC2 Launch Template when creating new environments Elastic Beanstalk, which has seen renewed development recently, now supports EC2 launch templates when creating new environments. This update aligns with the deprecation of launch configurations. The speakers discussed Beanstalk's position as a starter service and its potential limitations for more advanced users. 14:46 - DeepSeek-R1 models now available on AWS AWS quickly made DeepSeek's efficient AI models available on Bedrock following recent media attention. This move is seen as reactionary but necessary to compete with other AI providers. The pricing model differs from other Bedrock offerings, being based on infrastructure costs rather than per-token pricing. 20:17 - Amazon SES celebrates 14 years of email sending and deliverability The Simple Email Service's 14th anniversary was discussed, with mixed opinions on its usefulness. While it has improved over time, some users find third-party email services more convenient, particularly due to SES's initial restrictions and approval processes. 27:03 - Answers for AWS survey Peter Sankowskas discussed his annual survey of AWS service usage and sentiment. The survey provides insights into which services are popular, trending, or declining in the AWS ecosystem. Notable findings include high satisfaction with services like SQS and DynamoDB, and interesting trends in CI/CD tool preferences.

They discuss observability in ECS, Amazon EventBridge, AWS Backup best practices, AWS security best practices to mitigate ransomware attacks, architecting with multiple AWS regions for enhanced resilience and Jon found his missing piece of the puzzle - a Lego Millennium Falcon! 05:37 - AWS Adds Container Insights with Enhanced Observability to Elastic Container Service AWS has added Container Insights with enhanced observability to ECS, providing a more cost-effective alternative to third-party solutions like DataDog. This feature offers out-of-the-box dashboards and metrics, making it easier for users to monitor their container environments without the need for extensive setup or additional tools. 10:03 - Amazon EventBridge announces direct delivery to cross-account targets EventBridge now supports direct delivery to cross-account targets, simplifying event-driven architectures across multiple AWS accounts. This feature reduces latency, eliminates the need for complex routing setups, and allows for more streamlined and efficient event processing in multi-account environments. 14:03 - 4 AWS Backup best practices for reliable data protection They discuss four key AWS backup best practices: balancing retention periods and storage costs, optimizing management with tagging, implementing cross-regional replication, and setting RPO and RTO goals. The discussion also highlighted the importance of testing backups and the challenges in accurately predicting backup costs due to AWS's incremental backup pricing model. 22:57 - AWS Releases Best Security Practices To Mitigate Ransomware Attacks AWS released best practices to mitigate ransomware attacks, particularly focusing on S3 buckets. Recommendations include implementing short-term credentials, using MFA, monitoring for anomalous activity, and restricting SSE-C usage when unnecessary. The discussion emphasized the importance of balancing security measures with cost considerations and practical implementation. 28:53 - Enhance the resilience of critical workloads by architecting with multiple AWS Regions They discuss enhancing workload resilience by using multiple AWS regions. While the concept sounds appealing, the discussion revealed that multi-region architectures are complex, expensive, and often unnecessary for most applications. The speakers suggested that multi-AZ setups are usually sufficient for most use cases, and multi-region architectures are more relevant for large-scale, critical applications.
