TranscriptCorey: This episode is sponsored in part by Catchpoint. Look, 80 percent of performance and availability issues don’t occur within your application code in your data center itself. It occurs well outside those boundaries, so it’s difficult to understand what’s actually happening. What Catchpoint does is makes it easier for enterprises to detect, identify, and of course, validate how reachable their application is, and of course, how happy their users are. It helps you get visibility into reachability, availability, performance, reliability, and of course, absorbency, because we’ll throw that one in, too. And it’s used by a bunch of interesting companies you may have heard of, like, you know, Google, Verizon, Oracle—but don’t hold that against them—and many more. To learn more, visit www.catchpoint.com, and tell them Corey sent you; wait for the wince.Pete: Hello, and welcome to AWS Morning Brief. I am Pete Cheslock. Corey, while being back from his paternity leave, is still not here. We are having too much fun. And by we, I mean I'm joined again with Jesse DeRose. Hey, Jesse. Jesse: Thanks as always for having me, Pete. Pete: It's so much fun to again chat with people outside of my little family unit, that we've just decided not to give this back to Corey. And luckily, Corey has many other podcasts that he does, he was pretty happy to give it away.Jesse: I feel like you should never talk about your children that way, but he's got a plethora at this point. So, he's willing to kind of share the wealth.Pete: Exactly. And if you notice, we have a new theme song that came out, I think it was last week was the first week that we brought in the new theme song, which is I think much in line with a previous episode where we talked about ’80s breakdancing movies that the new theme song kind of has that vibe to it.Jesse: I hope you're wearing the Members Only jean jacket that I sent you, along with the shades to match the uniform.Pete: Yeah. I mean, I was born in ’80, so the ’80s for me, I was very young. I'm kind of waiting for the ’90s movies to come around again because I want to rock out my JNCO jeans and my wallet chain. Jesse: [laugh], yes.Pete: And all that good stuff.Jesse: I am ready.Pete: Exactly. Well, what are we talking about today? Well, earlier this week, AWS Storage Day 2020 happened on Tuesday. If you were a part of that, it was a free online event. As Amazon called it, a full day online event. Except it was only about four hours long, so kind of mailing it in on that one, huh?Jesse: Can we start discussing that with our boss and say that a full day of work is technically just four hours? Can we just start working with that going forward?Pete: Yeah, we'll just say it right now. So, hey, Corey, we're done for the day. Put in the old college four.Jesse: [laugh]. That's what you say, “I put in the old college try. I just did my full day of four hours, according to AWS. So, this has been great. I'll talk to you tomorrow.”Pete: Exactly. Well, Storage Day this year—it's the second year in a row if I'm remembering it correctly. 2019 was the last year they did that—and I feel like this kind of ties into the fact that there's just so many announcements that happened around re:Invent, that leading up into re:Invent, you have a lot of announcements to maybe soften the blow for a lot of folks. And Storage Day, really is just this whole day—well, four hours worth of a whole day—talking about everything related to storage. And we're talking about things like S3, EBS, EFS, FSx, for the five huge enterprises that probably use FSx. Although if you actually do use FSx, I'd be curious to hear about how you like it and what you think of it because we don't really hear a lot of people using it. But these are all the services, plus many more, that Amazon talked about as part of its Storage Day.Jesse: Yeah, it was a really interesting discussion. I greatly appreciate that AWS broke out this dis
