Show Notes
Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Tell us about your background and how you decided to get into the “saving money” or “economics of technology” business?
Topic 2 - AWS is sort of a strange technology company to explain to someone that comes from traditional IT, in that they just release new features randomly. So it’s sort of like a SaaS, but it’s also like a big toolbox. Your newsletter helps, but how do you find that people are to keep up with the randomness of all the features?
Topic 3 - Do you think that AWS eventually gets too complicated for the broader market?
Topic 4 - Beyond the issues around costs/pricing, what are the big AWS trends that you’re tracking, or that your clients are using to improve their businesses?
Topic 5 - What are some of the big mistakes that companies make in using various AWS services, whether they are cost-related or security-related or availability/performance-related?
Topic 6 - Let’s play a quick speed round before we end the show. Give us a sense of pace of growth for each of these AWS services:
- Lambda
- Big Data (Dynamo, Redshift, Kinesis)
- IoT
- Snowball or Snowmobile (raw data movement)
- ECS (containers)
