If you're looking for something for your Saturday morning coffee reading queue, this is a fun read that challenges you to think about the tension between velocity and simplicity, even in your own systems--not just those at the scale of S3. Enjoy!.
On #PiDay (Amazon S3's 19th birthday), @andywarfield takes us through S3's evolution from simple object store to sophisticated data platform. A fascinating look at how customer feedback shapes our services and how we maintain simplicity at massive scale.

EBS celebrated it's 16th birthday earlier this week and next week I'll celebrate my 13th anniversary at AWS. I took some time to reflect on our journey from humble beginnings to what we are today. I hope you enjoy!

I can't connect to AWS resources that the CrowdStrike Falcon agent is installed on. I want to troubleshoot how to recover the resources.

Reviving an old thread, but finally we're starting to see progress from the FAA. Hopefully they won't pervert this into another gotcha, but happy that pilots struggling with mental health issues can get treated without impacting their career.

I don't have my full schedule yet, but I typically set aside some time for ad hoc conversations outside of EBCs. If there's enough interest, I'll find a spot to hold "office hours," too. Reach out to me if you're interested in meeting up.

It's less than two weeks to #reinvent2023. I've got one talk on Monday (STG331), but more importantly, I'm interested in meeting our customers to talk about how they're using AWS storage services (and specifically EBS), and how we can do better.

EBS launched on 2008-08-20. Next year it can drive. Amazing how time flies.
This month, Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) is celebrating 15 years of pushing boundaries to deliver reliable, high-performance block storage for our customers. I had a chance to celebrate with some Amazon EBS team members, including one engineer who worked on the

This is pretty cool! While most storage devices only guarantee individual sectors, with EBS on nitro instances and local instance store on i4i, we support up to 16k I/Os. It was great working with RDS to enable this performance enhancement, too.
