@mister_b14 @GreenEDGEteam Absolute moronic move. Total disbelief 😯

@gaganbiyani Instructor led training and education is part of the solution. Need to make it scalable. There's no other way to tap into the collective knowledge in the room.

@dvassallo The effort should be recognised and that recognition can form part of the reward. Overtime the reward will become the effort itself.

From undifferentiated heavy lifting to eliminating repetitive tasks. For me personally, it's always been about the utility of compute. In particular, the ability to get my stack up and running without worrying about the back haul and the environmental aspects.

[Andy Jassy @ajassy]

When we started AWS, we looked at the undesirable situation of developers spending 70% of their time on the undifferentiated muck of managing infrastructure (vs only 30% on what differentiated their customer experiences) and aimed to flip that equation on its head. It’s made a pretty big difference in innovation and developer productivity.

Roughly 18 years later, we’re trying to solve another 70-30-like misalignment for developers, where developers are telling us that they’re spending roughly 70% of their time on repetitive and tedious tasks and code.

Today, we’re launching the general availability of Amazon Q, the world’s most capable GenAI-powered assistant for accelerating software development and leveraging companies’ internal data—and that aims to remove much of the muck of repetitive and tedious coding and data tasks for developers and employees at large.

On the software development side, Q doesn’t just generate code, it also tests code, debugs coding conflicts, and transforms code from one form to another (today, developers can save months using Q to move from older versions of Java to newer, more secure and capable ones; in the near future, Q will help developers transform their .net code as well). Q Agents does multi-step planning and reasoning to allow developers to string together multiple requests and have Q implement them.

On the internal data side, most companies have voluminous troves of internally relevant data that resides in wikis, intranet pages, Salesforce, storage repositories like Amazon S3, and a bevy of other data stores and SaaS apps that are hard to access. It makes answering straightforward questions about company policies, products, business results, code, people, and many other topics hard and frustrating. Q makes this much simpler. You can point Q at all of your enterprise data repositories, and it’ll search all this data, summarize logically, analyze trends, and engage in dialog with customers about it.

We also introduced today a powerful new capability called Q Apps, which lets employees describe, in natural language, what apps they want to build on top of this internal data, and Q Apps will quickly generate that app. This is going to make it *so* much easier for internal teams to build useful apps from their own data.
Customers are gravitating to Q, and we already see companies like Brightcove, British Telecom, Datadog, GitLab, GoDaddy, National Australia Bank, NCS, Netsmart, Slalom, Smartsheet, Sun Life, Tata Consultancy Services, Toyota, and Wiz using Q. And, we’ve only been in beta til today.

Very excited about how Q will change what’s possible for our customers, and being a part of helping them innovate more quickly. https://t.co/Bcf7k7huOX

Great atmosphere at the exhibition hall. Mingling and networking has always been one of the key attractions to big industry events.

Learning AWS skills can completely change your life but here's the BIGGEST blocker to overcome

It's your reflection in the mirror.

I know it can be daunting to learn any new technology, but half the battle is to just get started. Build that momentum and start to feel that sense of accomplishment that comes from making progress.

The easiest way to get started is to focus on the fundamentals. It's those fundamentals you initially learn that will serve as the foundation of your ability to absorb more complex AWS topics in the future as your knowledge grows.

It's just like working out. You wouldn't reach for the biggest dumbbells if you're new to working out. So don't take the most complicated AWS training to start. Reach for those 5 pound weights first!

This AWS Cloud Practitioner Essentials training teaches you EASY to understand AWS fundamentals AND it's FREE:

@peterrhague Although not sci fi, I find Hergé just as relevant, informative, and interesting today as I did when I started reading The Adventures of Tintin. Equally enthralling and insightful, you may also consider the Adventures of Dan Cooper.
