This week is going to be a radically different format. Too much was announced at re:Invent last week for me to do a normal issue without snarking myself into a coma. Last Week in AWS as you know it will return next week, as people start peering into the new services that were released and discovering the sharp edges at which I so enjoy poking fun.
This issue is sponsored by CloudHealth.
With AWS re:Invent 2017 in the rear-view mirror, it’s time to make sense of all the news and events from this massive show (in a less ridiculous way than what you’re about to read!). Join CloudHealth Founder Joe Kinsella to learn: 1) the biggest news to come out of re:Invent 2017, 2) the most surprising things that happened, 3) what it all means for you and your cloud.
