AWS Summit and re:Inforce Predictions: We Don’t Do These Well

Prediction rule: If it’s already been officially announced by Amazon, then it doesn’t count. It needs to be in the rumor mill, and somewhat specific.

  2. AWS will highlight a case study on benefits/cost of Graviton.
  3. AWS will give us something better than SCPs. 
  1. Multi-Region Cognito pools.
  2. Organization-level networks.
  3. Significant feature update for deploying Lambda@Edge.
  1. How AWS can protect you from ransom attacks.
  2. Improvements or new features around CloudFormation validation.
  3. User behavior analytics tool for WorkSpaces.
  1. Bandwidth ingress/egress cost reductions.
  2. Aurora Serverless/Aurora MySQL 8.0 support and V2 in general availability.
  3. Tools to make SCPs easier to author, test and validate.
  1. SIEM
  2. Redshift ML
  3. Egress whitelisting
  4. DLP
  5. New Amazon CEO Andy Jassy will make an appearance
  6. First OpenSearch release
  7. EKS Anywhere general availability
  8. New-ish AWS CEO Adam Selipsky won’t trash Oracle
