Automating Cloud Operations: An AWS Executive Discussion
Show Notes

In this special episode of Let's Talk Shop, we are streaming from AWS Re:Invent 2023 and my guest is Nandini Ramani, VP of Monitoring and Observability at AWS. Our discussion include:  

► Key announcements from re:Invent related to cloud operations across three main themes: Governance/compliance, multi-cloud/hybrid, and cost optimization

► Specific new capabilities announced:
     ► CloudWatch Logs supporting queries across multiple data sources like OpenSearch and Azure      Monitor
     ► Application tags in Cost Explorer for visibility by application
     ► Control Tower updates like new managed controls and region deny capabilities
     ► CloudWatch Logs Infrequent Access for lower cost log storage

► Use of AI/ML to enhance CloudWatch, Config and other services:
     ► Natural language search capabilities
     ► Anomaly detection in logs

► Nandini's vision for the future of "automated, self-optimizing, self-remediating" cloud operations capabilities at AWS

► Her advice to think about cloud operations upfront rather than an afterthought
