The AWS Morning show you never knew you wanted

Join Pete and Jesse as they continue their examination of a new AWS offering: AWS Cost Anomaly Detection. In addition to talking about must-watch break dancing movies from the 1980s, they touch upon how the new service is basic at this point in time and why that’s a good thing, what AWS could do to improve the alerting feature on this offering, why the term “root cause” should actually be “contributing factor,” how users are given the option to train the machine learning model if they want to, what Pete and Jesse would add to the service, and more.

Join Pete Cheslock and Jesse DeRose as they take the reins of the Whiteboard Confessional podcast with an episode that explores how people treat the cloud as another data center and why that’s absolutely something you should not do. They discuss the differences between the cloud-native, cloud-agnostic, and hybrid-cloud models, why Pete believes not a lot of people are running across multiple cloud providers, why engineers love the cloud and why finance hates it, the hidden costs associated with running EC2 instances, how vendor lock-in is more or less unavoidable, and more.

Join Pete Cheslock and Jesse DeRose as they take the reins of the Whiteboard Confessional podcast with a conversation about Amazon Detective, a new AWS service ostensibly designed to help organizations get down to the root of security issues. Pete and Jesse discuss why they were so excited to take the service for a spin, the caveat to the Amazon Detective’s 30-day free trial (it’s a big one), how Amazon should have an estimated pricing calculator on all its services, the terms you should probably search for in Amazon Detective if you give it a whirl, what the service very clearly lacks currently, and more.
