There was so much to take away from AWS re:Invent last week. In my opinion, having attended a lot of industry events over the past ten or so years, this years re:Invent has left the industry with a lot to think about it! AWS vigorously defended their position as the number one Public Cloud destination (in their eyes) while trying to lay a path for future growth by expanding into the true enterprise space. Also, with the announcement of Outposts set a path to try and dominate the hybrid world with an on-premises offering.
Instead of writing down my extended thoughts it’s more consumable to hear Rick Vanover and myself talk about the event from a Veeam perspective in the short embedded video below. I’ve also embedded a video with David Hill and Sebastian Straub covering things from an N2WS perspective, as well as talk about the N2WS related announcements at re:Invent 2018.
I’ve also posted the Veeam session video here:
