AWS NYC Summit 2012

The line that lead me to this read:

We posted 25 presentations from the New York 2012 AWS Summit.

Actually, no.

Posted 25 slide decks, not presentations.

Useful yes, presentations, no.

Not to complain too much given the rapid expansion of services and technical guidance but let’s not confuse slides with presentations.

The AWS Report (Episode 2) has one major improvement: The clouds in the background don’t move! (As they did in the first episode. Now there was a shadow that moved over the front of the desk.)

We need to ask Amazon to get Jeff a new laptop without all the stickers on the top. If Paula Abdul or Vanna White were doing the interview, the laptop stickers would not be distracting. Or at least not enough to complain. Jeff isn’t Paula Abdul or Vanna White. Sorry Jeff.

I think the AWS Report has real potential. Several short segments with more “facts” and fewer “general” statements would be great.

Enjoyed the Elastic Beanstalk episode but hearing customers are busy, happy and requirements were gathered for other language support (besides Java) is like hearing public service announcements on PBS.

Nothing to disagree with but no real content either.

Suggestion: Perhaps short, say 90 to 120 second description of a typical issue (off mailing list?) that ends with: What is your solution? and feature one or more solutions on the next show? To get the audience involved and get other people hawking the show.

Not quite the cover of the Rolling Stone but perhaps someday… 😉
