At the end of this week, I’m flying to Seattle to take part in the AWS Serverless Innovation Day. Along with many customers and colleagues from AWS, we are going to be live on May 17 at a virtual free event. During the AWS Serverless Innovation Day we will share best practices related to building […]

Artificial intelligence (AI) is polarizing. It excites the futurist and engenders trepidation in the conservative. In my previous post, I described the different capabilities of both discriminative and generative AI, and sketched a world of opportunities where AI changes the way that insurers and insured would interact. This blog continues the discussion, now investigating the […]

Building evolvable software systems is a strategy, not a religion. And revisiting your architectures with an open mind is a must. Software architectures are not like the architectures of bridges and houses. After a bridge is constructed, it is hard, if not impossible, to change the way it was built. Software is quite different, once […]

The open road has long been part of the American ethos. Asphalt arteries connecting cities, towns, and endless horizons from prairie to coast. They symbolize freedom of movement, adventure, and opportunity. And no profession embodies this ideal more than the long-haul trucker. A modern-day cowboy, crisscrossing the country (and often borders), making sure shelves are […]

The digital economy is thriving due to the pace at which digital technology and services are being adopted by organizations, consumers, and government entities […]

Three of my four grandparents were teachers. Their love of learning and passion for lighting a spark in their students impressed upon me the power that teachers have to change lives and shape the future. As I’m writing this, I am in Jacksonville, Florida, just a few miles from where my grandmother, Rosalie Gordon-Mills, was […]

Today, I’m happy to announce that a new open-source sample application, a fictitious used books eCommerce store we call Bob’s Used Books, is available for .NET developers working with AWS. The .NET advocacy and development teams at AWS talk to customers regularly and, during those conversations, often receive requests for more in-depth samples. Customers tell […]

Today we are launching AWS User Notifications, a single place in the AWS console to set up and view AWS notifications across multiple AWS accounts, Regions, and services. You can centrally set up and view notifications from over 100 AWS services, such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) objects events, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud […]

The introduction of generative AI systems into the public domain exposed people all over the world to new technological possibilities, implications, and even consequences many had yet to consider. Thanks to systems like ChatGPT, just about anyone can now use advanced AI models that are not only capable of detecting patterns, honing data, and making […]

Cyber attacks are no longer a fringe event that affects big businesses and government institutions only. In actuality, the question for each organization, no matter their size, is no longer if they will become a target but when. With zettabytes of sensitive data stored in a variety of machines and personal devices and complacency or […]
