I am very happy to be able to share with my good friend HC on the same stage at AWS DEV DAY TAIPEI 2020 (Dec/04, 2020) about “Technical Selection: Amazon ECS Launch Types: EC2 vs. Fargate”. This article mainly releases the slideshow shared today, and provides some supplementary information to share with you.
Think in Context: AWS re:Invent 2020 Andy Jassy Keynote
(Translation in progress…)
Initing
Last year (finally) it was my first trip to participate in AWS re:Invent 2019. I arrived with couple tens of thousands of people (squeezed together) in Las Vegas to enjoy a full week of high-density information flow, which is very unforgettable.
With the experience of last year, although this year has been adjusted to be online, I can catch the pace and rhythm relatively, and can relax and enjoy the information bombing of the weeks in accordance with the Asian time zone (which year did not bomb?)
The number of Keynote sessions of AWS re:Invent this year (2020) has also increased and adjusted compared to last year. Last year’s show was the Monday Night Live, where everyone just started the carnival on Monday night. Peter DeSantis brought information about the infra. This year it became independent and directly renamed “Infrastructure Keynote”. This year also added a new “Machine Learning Keynote” brought by Swami Sivasubramanian.
The three remaining keynotes are “Andy Jassy Keynote”, “AWS Partner Keynote” and “Werner Vogels Keynote”. Each keynote has its own main axis. This article shares the Taiwan time zone. The rebroadcast of “Andy Jassy Keynote” starts at 8 am here. At this time, breakfast and a pot of hot tea are good fit. Don’t worry that it’s a few hours away from the first broadcast. AWS CEO Andy Jassy mentioned in this Keynote “Still early days for cloud”, and now the cloud only accounts for 4% of all IT expenditures, there is no problem with a few hours of shift.
For the full text, I tried to capture the structure of the speech, and then put some observations and inferences, and then put some running notes in each paragraph to facilitate future search and use. New services or new features are marked with [NEW 🚀]

Let’s get started!

While watching Pahud’s video EP27 - (English)Create Your First AWS CDK Pull Request(4K 2160p)
take notes for future use. The environment I am using when I take this notes is: macOS Catalina (10.15.6), installed with homebrew, zsh, nvm, docker.
Note: Influence: Chapter 5-6

This year, I enthusiastically joined the B2B book club organized by Digital Marketing Connect (DMC) to continue expanding my learning field. (The last time I seriously read a marketing book was probably Philip Kotler’s Management Marketing during the remote reading club with Bob in college.)
Recently, Arizona has been a hot keyword due to tsmc’s (then rumored to be lowercase “t”) plans to establish a manufacturing plant there. Coincidentally, the selected book for the first few months of the book club is <Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion> by Dr. Robert B. Cialdini from Arizona State University, published in 1984. It seems to have had a significant influence on the marketing field for more than thirty years and is often cited as a reference in marketing-related materials (but it is also possible that I started looking for related information from this book).
Notes: COVID-19 Contact Tracing Technology
(Context: Wherever we walk, you will leave traces, would we leave some sort of traces after nearby contact? Image source.)
Apple and Google jointly published a press release about: “Apple and Google partner on COVID-19 contact tracing technology” on April 10, 2020. Also provide APIs of both Apple iOS and Google Android platforms, and corresponding technical documents: Contact Tracing Bluetooth Specification
與 Contact Tracing Cryptography Specification
.
I guess there could be some Flutter plugins based on it very soon. :)
This is a personal reading notes. I would like to start with privacy and Bluetooth specification documents. I want to learn and practice how to plan and organize such kind of solution architecture to resolve some challenges in the future.
The content of this reading notes will include my personal observation and comments. The purpose of taking notes is to improve my learning efficiency and keep the habit of sharing.
AWS re:Invent 2019 New Launch Feature Amazon ECS Cluster Capacity Providers
Introduction
It has been a long time that have a new feature for Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)! This time, there is a great new feature named Amazon ECS Cluster Capacity Providers. This post will share the session of CON312 [NEW LAUNCH!] Automatic cluster scaling with Amazon ECS
of AWS re:Invent 2019.
Amazon ECS is a fully managed container orchestration service. Amazon uses Amazon ECS for their couple products and services. At the mean time, Duolingo, Samsung, GE, and Cook Pad are also Amazon ECS users.
