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

  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
