AWS UG Oslo is hosting a meetup on Nov 18th. "Developing with Kiro" by @haakoned.bsky.social and "European Sovereign Cloud" by me. RSVP at www.meetup.com/aws-user-gro... #awsnordics #vibecoding #datasovereignty

Are your AWS lambda-functions still on Python 3.9? Time to move on. EOL is reached 30OCT and support is ending 15DEC. Remember that you will not be able to update these functions down the road #aws #lambda #serverless

Today's AWS isn't the AWS of even 2020. www.lastweekinaws.com/blog/aws-in-...

Amazon Aurora DSQL is generaly available, check it out. And probably interesting for those of you enjoying a bit more than just a test-run - "Just make it scale: An Aurora DSQL story" about the making of DSQL www.allthingsdistributed.com/2025/05/just...

Finally - AWS is open about services being moved into EOL and makes it easy to follow this. Earlier it was "hidden" in product-docs/blogs and direct targeted emails. Now everything is coming in one place aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/in... and aws.amazon.com/products/lif...

Just published a blogpost on creating Custom Billing Views in AWS with the CLI dev.to/abjoerne/man.... #listen-to-the-heroes #aws #finops

AWS Nordic news: We welcome AWS Bedrock to Stockholm - right now very limited modelselection (Amazon Nova Lite, Amazon Nova Micro, and Amazon Nova Pro) aws.amazon.com/about-aws/wh...

Are you using the scheduler in AWS (Eventbridge) with cron-based scheduling? Be aware that Sun=1, so 1-5 will be SUN-THU and not MON-FRI as you would expect in other cronjobs. Use char, not numbers when setting up to avoid confusion. docs.aws.amazon.com/scheduler/la... #listentotheheroes

Are you looking into moving your workload from the standard AWS-cloud into the new AWS European Sovereign Cloud when it opens? Here is a list of services planed to be there initially. aws.amazon.com/blogs/securi... #listentotheheroes

Death to data transfer fees in AWS and Optimizing Music Discovery with AWS are the two topics we have for our next AWS User Group meeting in Oslo on March 11th. Full description and RSVP at www.meetup.com/aws-user-gro... Thanks to Bekk Consulting www.bekk.no for sponsoring this event.

Are humans the limiting factor in AI-assisted software development? I wrote why we might be, and what we need to do to break through the current productivity ceiling.

About AWS ARNs and your infra as code: This is good: "arn:aws:ec2:${AWS::Region}..." Even better is to use "arn:${AWS::Partition}:ec2...." . AWS EU-cloud is coming soon as a separate partition, you might want to be able to deploy there also! go.aws/4gxNORz #listentotheheroes

Amazon S3 Tables are now available in Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Stockholm), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo). This makes it way easier to test things out without having to break the barrier of moving data to the US.

Just watch a really good presentation about the parts of the AWS-network you do not see, but use. "Dive deep on AWS networking infrastructure" Highly recommended to learn about networking at scale #listentotheheroes #networking www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJNR...

Are you working with CDK and in the process of learning it or just looking for more input. This free(!) ebook have lot of samples from real life (with code in github). real-life-iac.com #listentotheheroes

A huge thank you to the Amazon Aurora team. Migrating an old Mysql5 from serverless v1 to Mysql8 on serverless v2 was super-smooth. 5 CLI-commands and 40 mins later everything was done while I had control. Same connectionstring and automated backups on every step! Just super-smooth #databases #aws

We are doing a re:Cap of re:Invent in Oslo on Jan 13th www.meetup.com/aws-user-gro...

One more time: After 8 JAN you can not start a new Aurora serverless v1 cluster. This most likely means that old v1-snapshots also will be useless!!! Or if your v1-cluster crashes you are in trouble. Time to migrate clusters *and also migrate old snapshots if needed* #listentotheheroes

This is really good work by @raphaelmanke.bsky.social AWS session-catalog with links to slides and youtube-videos for re:Invent 2024. #listentotheheroes

All content from re:Invent is now available, including 📹 videos for Breakout Sessions and 📊 slide decks for Chalk Talks: aws.amazon.com/events/event... #listentotheheroes

I made a draft with newsreleases at re:Invent (and preInvent and postInvent). Might be duplicates or missing items and also my own grouping of services so use at your own risk docs.google.com/spreadsheets... #listentotheheroes

If you are still on AWS Aurora Serverles v1 it is time to migrate to v2! AWS announced this aprox a year ago so time to get moving! aws.amazon.com/blogs/databa.... #listentotheheroes

Amazon Bedrock: We are reducing the prices for content filters by 80% to $0.15 per 1,000 text units and for denied topics by 85% to $0.15 per 1,000 text units. aws.amazon.com/about-aws/wh.... #listentotheheroes

All of the amazing sessions from #AWSHeroes from #reInvent 2024 in one playlist. #ListenToTheHeroes

Yes, we actually did. Really fun "hackathon" during Thursday night.

This is ”underwear outside the pants superhero style” fast turnaround! I share my thoughts on the AWS Developers podcast:

re:invent 2024 is over - hope to see you Dec 1-5 2025 in Vegas. Then you have some weeks to Go Build and also #ListenToTheHeroes

If you have a certificate in AWS certificate manager, you need to attach it to a resource to have auto renewal cc @lockhead.bsky.social #ListenToTheHeroes

If you want to see the complete Werner-keynote from re:invent m.youtube.com/watch?v=aim5... #ListenToTheHeroes

Highly recommend to spend some time to watch this. #listentotheheroes

re:play afterparty... Do not disturb. Developers at work.

Thank you @werner.social for the great shout out to the AWS Heroes ❤️ This is the smartest, friendliest, and simply *best* group of people I've ever been part of, and I am forever grateful for AWS' sponsorship 🙏

The AWS Heroes program is something very special. The REAL heroes are the AWS employees who we've worked with for years. Thank you @werner.social, @rossbarich.bsky.social, @farrah.bsky.social, & everyone else who I can't find in here yet 😂🥰
