The AWS Morning show you never knew you wanted

Join Pete and Jesse as they talk about the coolest service not announced at AWS Storage Day: AWS S3 Storage Lens, which lets you track your S3 usage across accounts. They discuss how this new service solves a major problem, how you’d have to track S3 usage prior to Storage Lens, how many organizations spend a lot of money storing multipart file uploads that fail, how AWS deserves kudos for making it super easy to set up the new service, what’s missing in AWS S3 Storage Lens, how Jesse and Pete spend more time than anyone should spend reading AWS documentation, and more.
