https://lckhd.eu/WccdZt Keeping an eye on costs and getting a breakdown of what was spent where is important. There is a lot of waste with Kubernetes clusters and a tool like Kubecost can help. 🧵

https://lckhd.eu/LMkL6c AWS Lambda MicroVMs is one of the most interesting releases in a long time and this session from Ajay should be a good one.

Headed home today after a great AWS Summit Toronto. I got to meet so many people and am also glad I was able to do a talk. I totally agree with the sentiment that we have a "Once in a generation opportunity" right now. Just like what Werner Vogels was saying recently at re:Invent!

Had a really good time tonight at the AWS User Group Toronto Meetup on the 47th floor Amazon Toronto Office. Met tons of people and got to catch up with Cyril Bandolo Cyril in person again

Looking forward to speaking at AWS Summit Toronto on June 3. I'll be talking about the Recipe Assistant projects I built using the Strands Agents, Bedrock AgentCore, WebSockets, Lambda, and Amazon Nova models. If you'll be there, drop by and say hi. #AWSSummitToronto

https://lckhd.eu/RPJfo8 If your #Kubernetes pods are still relying on legacy service account tokens that never expire, it is worth understanding how projected #tokens change the game. 🧵

https://lckhd.eu/pjVwCn Step Functions works well for managing workflows with fixed behaviour, but some cases demand more flexibility. Examples include where AI agents 🧵

https://lckhd.eu/QeSYeF #ECS services can fail in subtle ways and #monitoring them isn't super easy. There can be task placement issues, image pull problems, deployment failures, throttling, and more. By the time you notice, 🧵

https://lckhd.eu/bC2wZ6 AWS recently announced #ECS Managed Instances where you pay an extra fee for #AWS to manage things like patching, and maintenance and are more locked down and secure 🧵

https://lckhd.eu/fccA6h Managing cloud costs across multiple AWS accounts gets harder as organizations scale. The article below shows a #FinOps agent built with Amazon #Bedrock #AgentCore that 🧵

https://lckhd.eu/VcKH6d 🆕 My latest Blog on Aurora #DSQL is out now! For years, the database decision on AWS looked like this: need serverless? #DynamoDB (but give up SQL). 🧵

https://lckhd.eu/VV1SKQ 🆕 My new blog post is out. If you run #EKS across multiple AZs on #AWS, you're likely paying for cross-AZ transfer that 🧵
