Think in Context: AWS re:Invent 2022 Monday Night Live Keynote With Peter Desantis

Post Title Image

Initing

Since I was selected as AWS Community Hero in early 2020, I have encountered the epidemic and have not flown for three years. It is a great honor to be invited to physically log in to the AWS annual developer conference re:Invent 2022 in Las Vegas this year. I am very happy to be able to experience all kinds of live events again.

For three consecutive years, I have decomposed the CEO Keynote, which attracts the most attention among the four keynotes held at AWS re:Invent each year. This year, I want to try to sort out the other keynotes. Maybe there will be different gains in the process of sorting out, and then I will share the results of these sorting by the way. Share it with everyone.

As in the past, at the beginning of the full text, I will first try to grasp the structure of the speech, then put some observations and inferences, and then put some running notes in each paragraph for future search and use. There are extended readings at the end of the article, which can enrich the background situation or information of the speech content. I also hope to have the opportunity to lead everyone to reason together why this product or function was launched at this time point, where the trends of various industries around the world are going. Read more, compare more, and refer more. Maybe we can avoid some minefields of misjudgment. In the case of limited resources, if we go in the wrong direction, the market may not give us a chance to cut it off and practice again. My reasoning is not necessarily correct, just as a kind of practice and sharing.

New services or new launches are marked with [NEW 🚀] in this article, so that you can press Command/Ctrl+F to search on the inner page.

This article deliberately removes most of the product links first, so that everyone can focus on reading (we are all less focused these days, aren’t we?). If you need a product link, you can refer to the AWS Product List that I organize regularly.

I also welcome everyone to give me some feedback or corrections (also come and see if there is a chance to include these materials in ChatGPT 2022). Then let’s get started!

Hugo Error: You may have a circular loop in a shortcode

After upgrading Hugo one day, I was suddenly stuck by this error message (paste below), and I have been stuck on a specific Hugo post content. I have been thinking about it, and I have no new changes recently. Is it because there is some kind of destructive modification on the Hugo shortcode? I didn’t find any hint in the release notice of Hugo.

Volunteers of AWSUG Taiwan have always enthusiastically discussed how to lead newbies to get started with AWS more smoothly. Recently I organized all the AWS learning resources that you often discuss and some (unpopular?!) learning ideas that I found into an single article to share with you.

Sharing by Wyne and I at 2022-07 AWSUG Taiwan Taipei Meetup (in Chinese)

It’s hard to get started. As AWS cloud services grow from S3 and EC2 to one or two hundred cloud services, how should a new AWS novice go from outside the door, to introductory exploration, to grasp the context, and continue to improve? ?

Running Laravel/PHP Container Application on AWS (AWS Builders Day Taiwan 2022)

Walking into a tavern in northern Spain, almost every door will have a pot, and each pot has its own advantages and disadvantages. Similar to container applications, it is compatible with the main axis and retains local characteristics… Oh no, I’m actually talking about the ups and downs behind each application, you know.

Thank you very much for the invitation of AWS Builders Day Taiwan 2022, which gave me the opportunity to use the perspective of Builders, with an easy-to-understand way, to quickly disassemble the common terms of containers and Amazon ECS. Taking the common Laravel framework of PHP as an example, it is also very simple to package Laravel applications to go to the cloud, so that PHP lovers can enjoy the local, the edge and the cloud together. After the concept is understood, replacing Laravel/PHP on the agenda with other languages ​​or frameworks can draw inferences from one another, and even connect with each other to form your own microservice network.

The Measurement Units of Dots, Lines, and Surfaces that Qin Shi Huang Did Not Have Time to Unify - From Letterpress Printing, Desktop Publishing to Mobile Devices and Display Systems

Measurement (Illustration: Measure by hand what you can touch, and calculate what you can’t. Image source: Photo by Jeremy Bezanger on Unsplash.)

When developing webpages or mobile/device applications, various length and density units such as pixel, point, pt, dp, ppi, dpi, etc. are used. When the software team enters the hardware field and faces display devices such as panels and electronic paper, they will also face physical measurement units that can be touched. As the saying goes, “pixel, pt, dp, etc., can’t be distinguished”.

Because some measurement units are used in the software field and others are used in the hardware and physical fields, in order to clarify and confirm that the values of each parameter correspond to the correct measurement units, we use several “DIY Work Method” work modes to do the decomposition. In the process, we also look back to the history of mankind from the invention of printing and other history, observe or deduce the evolution of these measurement units, and record the results in this decomposition exercise note (that is, every time I use it, I forget, so I have to write notes XDD). Let’s share it and see if there are any misunderstandings. Welcome to comment and tell us 😃

Think in Context: AWS re:Invent 2021 Adam Selipsky Keynote

Initing

Compared with last year’s AWS re:Invent 2020, which was held entirely online, this year’s AWS re:Invent 2021 recovery entity will be held in Las Vegas with an online Virtual venue. Although I have been invited by the AWS Heroes program to go to the site, but many things at the end of the year are really difficult to escape, and I finally chose to participate online, without the real interaction with people on site, but my whole heart is still in the various keynote speeches at re:Invent (keynote ) and on the agenda.

Continuing the Think in Context: AWS re:Invent 2020 Andy Jassy Keynote last year, it seems to be well received by everyone. This year, I specially set aside time to sort out the first AWS re:Invent 2021 Adam Selipsky Keynote of newly appointed AWS CEO Adam Selipsky. At the end of this thread dismantling note, try to make some comparisons with last year’s Andy Jassy Keynote (no comparison, no harm, huh?! :p I’m not interested in the content, if you want to see the comparison and analysis directly, you can also skip to the end of the article to read .

Continuing last year, Andy Jassy mentioned “Still early days for cloud”. The error of a few hours is acceptable in the entire cloud world (not in the cryptocurrency circle (XDD). So press a cup of coffee, make a pot of hot tea, and see The rebroadcast at 8:30AM in Taiwan time zone is very sober and comfortable.

As in the past, at the beginning of the full text, I will first try to grasp the structure of the speech, then put some observations and inferences, and then put some running notes in each paragraph for future search and use. There are extended readings at the end of the article, which can enrich the background situation or information of the speech content. I also hope to have the opportunity to lead everyone to reason together why this product or function was launched at this time point, where the trends of various industries around the world are going. Read more, compare more, and refer more. Maybe we can avoid some minefields of misjudgment. In the case of limited resources, if we go in the wrong direction, the market may not give us a chance to cut it off and practice again.

My Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) Workflow

(Photo by Ash Edmonds on Unsplash)

Ever since I was a child, I have had a special liking for notebooks. I like to record some numbers, temperature, time, how many pigeons in the building next door outside the window, how long it takes to fly back to the pigeon loft, etc.

As I get older, I have always regarded notebooks as a tool for recording, memo, and quick review. I always feel that it does not match my workflow, whether at work or at home. Until the last few years, I have been more coherent, and recorded my current personal knowledge system (PKM) workflow. This workflow is a process that I understand and generalize to my personal situation from various sharings from people who are smarter than me and more focused on PKM, Smart Notes, etc. My process may not be suitable for everyone, but I hope that by sharing ideas, I can bring out some dialogues and discussions, so that we, and even our next generation, can reduce the time of groping and improve learning or work efficiency. And then make some contribution to society or human beings.
