I always leave #AWSre:Invent feeling energized! It’s such a great week getting the product launches and session content that we’ve been hard at work on all year in the hands of customers.

However, this can prove challenging if the process to deploy serverless services is a lengthy ticketing process or through a disjointed toolset. We're seeing K8s platform teams give developers the best of both worlds by using ACK and the newly launched kro (Kubernetes resource operators)! 🐦‍⬛

Christina Andonov, Giedrius Praspaliauskas, and I spoke on how we see Kubernetes platform teams looking to give development teams access to the technology choice best suited to their workload and team, including serverless services.

Continuing with the theme of "right tool for the right job," my second re:Invent session this week was on deploying AWS serverless services with Kubernetes APIs! ☸️

2/ Decision-making considerations like operational models, integrations, portability, usage patterns, and pricing
3/ Examples where customers have chosen containers, serverless functions, or both!

Are you making these decisions for your workloads? We would love to hear what you think!

This is one of the BIGGEST changes to AWS networking in years! You can now share single resources over PrivateLink AND access these resources with Step Functions and EventBridge. Really powerful.

EventBridge and Step Functions + private APIs! 🚀 Particularly excited about this one and what it opens up for building event driven flows between applications, no matter where they are!

I also appreciate that it renders my workaround blog post on this topic obsolete! 😄
🚀🚀🚀 Amazon EventBridge and AWS Step Functions now offer native integrations with private APIs, simplifying building event-driven architectures and workflows with HTTPS-based APIs in VPCs and on-premises. #AWS #Serverless #reInvent2024 🧵👇🏻

Wow, SnapStart is now available for Python and .Net functions.

Interesting they didn't do it for Node, I guess it's not about popularity, there must be something about Node that doesn't work well with SnapStart 🤔
