Episode description

Welcome to the first of three special episodes of AWS This Week, covering all the news from AWS re:Invent 2020 … and what a huge first week of re:Invent it was! We know it’s a lot to take in but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. On this week’s episode, Faye Ellis rounds up all of her favourite announcements from Andy Jassy’s keynote, and we then dive a little deeper with ACG Training Architects Craig Arcuri, Errol Hooper, and John Hanna as they catch up on Zoom (it is 2020, after all!) to discuss their top picks from the storage, databases, and compute leadership sessions. Plus, we announce our Guru of the Week. There are a lot of exciting announcements to get through, so grab some popcorn, get comfy, and join us for this very special episode covering week one of re:Invent 2020!
