TranscriptCorey: When you think about feature flags (and you should), you should also be thinking of LaunchDarkly. LaunchDarkly is a feature management platform that lets all your teams safely deliver and control software through feature flags by separating code deployments from feature releases at massive scale (and small-scale too), LaunchDarkly enables you to innovate faster, increase developer, happiness (which is more important than you think), and drive transformation throughout your organization. LaunchDarkly enables teams to modernize faster. Awesome companies have used them, large, small, and everything in between. Take a look at launchdarkly.com to learn more and tell them that I sent you. My thanks again for their sponsorship of this episode.Pete: Hello and welcome to the AWS Morning Brief. I am Pete Cheslock.Jesse: I'm Jesse DeRose.Pete: We are welcomed yet again with Amy Negrette.Amy: Hello.Pete: We are here. We made it. It is actually 2021.Jesse: I can tell you flying cars: definitely a thing. World peace: we're close, we're so close.Pete: We're so close. Well, guess what? We made it, we survived 2020. And with it, we brought with us part two of the #awswishlist. So, this is where we went through—especially as leading up to re:Invent and getting through re:Invent—we went through and looked at the Twitter hashtag of #awswishlist so that we could pick out some of our favorite things, some #awswishlist items that we think are important to us, or just interesting in their own right. We'll include the link to these tweets in the [00:01:57 show notes]. So definitely go check that out, and you can check out the conversation, or maybe follow some of that to see when things actually come around. But yeah, we'll just walk through some of the things we found that were pretty interesting and chat about why we hope Amazon includes them into a future release. So, one thing that I saw which I thought was pretty interesting because I run into this problem also, is a way of downloading data from various third party locations directly into S3, Dynamo, or some sort of data store location. Essentially, it'd be awesome to just completely get rid of having services around, or Fargates, or Lambdas set up for downloading data from places that—how cool would it be? And this is, again, not an enterprise-y type feature, but just, like, a personal thing of how cool would it be to be, like, I want to take this ISO from a place and just put a URL in S3 and say, “Put that thing in this thing,” and call it a day. So, again, a personal complaint of mine plus, also, someone else tweeted it, so there's two people out there that want this—at least—so therefore Amazon, you got to build it for me.Amy: Those are the rules.Pete: Those are the rules. Right. Right, Amy, those are the rules. Jesse: And I feel like, let's be honest, that ISO that you want to download anyway is probably living in S3 somewhere else anyhow. So, it's just moving bucket to bucket.Pete: Someone has that, you know, Slackware ISO that I've been looking for, from, you know, 2001. It's in someone else's bucket; just let me have it myself. Exactly. Amy, what did you find in your discovery of the #awswishlist hashtag?Amy: This is a thing that I think really should be on any of these on-demand pay-as-you-go services because AWS really targets those [00:03:48 unintelligible] markets for a lot of their serverless deployments. And this actually came from one of my friends who had this problem on Twitter, where you need to be able to set a maximum on on-demand spend, let's say in his case, Dynamo. So, you don't hypothetically build in a loop and spend a whole bunch of money. Pete: Yeah.Amy: And really, it should be in anything that does that. If it's not telling you something where I'm only wanting to run this much because it's on-demand, then you should be able to control that spend somehow.Pete: And with the—what is i
