The new CEOThe overall themesAndy Jassyâs appearanceBrianâs Top 5 Takeaways:
The focus is now all ARM and GPUs/AI Accelerators (goodbye Intel)AWS is getting back to basics on Cloud - a focus on primitivesAWS is trying to get ahead of startup and enterprise usage of GenAI with a focus on Inferencing costs (trying to make it a game of compute costs vs. model capabilities)What are the 1000 GenAI apps that Amazon has built? (Rufus, Robot package loading? NFL Blitz predictor?Brandonâs Top 5 Takeaways:
Amazon is the âEverything Store,â AWS is the âEvery Service StoreâGarmon is the legacy AWS CEO, Jassy is the AWS AI CEOAWS wants everyone to build a chatbot and/or call center app using AWS Bedrock The NOVA foundation models are the AWS answer to OpenAI and Anthroptic. AWS is attempting to build both the models and the AI Chips to run them. Tenuous partnerships with Nvidia and Anthropic. Neither was on stage. AWS will never stop telling us about âWorking BackwardsâAWS marketing still wants talk about the how rather than the benefit.

AI Eats the World (Presentation - Benedict Evans)IS SILICON VALLEY STILL THE CENTER OF TECH INNOVATION?
Companies are investing tons of moneyBreakthrough results havenât emerged yet (business models, profits)Itâs not clear that there is a technology moat; but maybe a capital moatModel training costs are expected to rise 5x to 10x - worse economics??Lots of VC investment and vendor 2nd-order investmentsLLM costs are creating marginal cost of software (been since the mainframe)Model quality vs. price is improving, but price of the services (e.g. ChatGPT-Pro) is increasing - how much extra value is being delivered?How will open source impact AI? âIf anything in life is certain, semiconductors are cyclical, commodity tech goes to marginal cost, and every new tech produces a bubble.âTodayâs GenAI question - is it accurate and useful? How can we tell, and how can it improve (or does it need to)?Start with a simple concept - AI gives us unlimited interns - how can you extrapolate that? How would this have been extrapolated for the original internet (create content, translate language, write code, etc.)Use cases are still not easy to see beyond Chatbots (and variants), Coding AssistantsConsulting revenue from GenAI is bigger than technology - and still most/many projects still in trials. Technology can take a long time to adopt - Cloud still only has 30% of workloads (15yrs old)66% of CEOâs donât expect their first GenAI app in production until sometime in 2025, 50% at least 2H of 2025.[Shadow AI] SaaS AI will accelerate adoption, if it follows Cloud pattern - external forces are more motivated to attack business âchangeâ than internal teams[Build vs. Ecosystem] Do the LLM vendors become the application vendors? Where does the LLM start and stop (infra, platform, API, apps, etc.)[Learning from the customers] Do the LLM vendors use their knowledge advantage to build the apps? GenAI Apps Categories - Make something better, Replace something, Just do the thingâAI is just whatever is wrong/broken nowâ - How well does AI understand âbrokenâWill people be the biggest problem in AI progress? [Decoupling] Looks at global markets for Internet today - ecommerce/retail, food delivery, advertising, media, autonomous driving, [Elevator Example] Automation gets rid of peopleNo real conclusionFEEDBACK?

Topic 2 - You come from a security background. Every conversation we have with security teams is âattackers have more tools, more money and more timeâ. Is security an almost unwinnable game without a new way of thinking about the equation?
Topic 3 - It seems like AI has the potential to give Security teams (or anyone in IT) more of a chance, if used properly. How are you thinking about giving teams the right security AI powers?
Topic 4 - Letâs talk about WhiteRabbitNeo. âWhiteRabbitNeo is uncensored and trained to act like a modern adversary.â What does this mean in practical terms?
Topic 5 - Where is the potential for the right set of AI models + Agents to make a significant impact towards better on-going security?
Topic 6 - There will be lots of things aimed at being AI for Security. How would you tell someone how to sort through what is useful vs. AI-washed or not likely to be useful?

Topic 1 - Welcome to the show.
Topic 2 - Letâs begin by talking about your broader view of where IT Operations is today for large companies. What are their biggest challenges, and where are their opportunities for big improvements?
Topic 3 - One of the biggest challenges for IT Operations is so many systems, so many tools, so many data sources and the difficulty of coordinating (troubleshooting, incident response, pattern detection, etc.) across them. Is there a modern approach thatâs emerging about how to make this better?
Topic 4 - Where does the potential of AI models come into play here? It is more focused on being able to ask the system for diagnosis, or can it start getting closer to taking independent actions?
Topic 5 - How do you train an AI model with so many different pieces of customer data?
Topic 6 - Letâs talk about AI Agents and what they can begin to accomplish within an Enterprise.
FEEDBACK? -

Email: show at the cloudcast dot netTwitter: @cloudcastpodInstagram: @cloudcastpodTikTok: @cloudcastpod
Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Tell us about your background and the areas you focus on today.
Topic 2 - I want to begin with the complexity of networking, and not just in the sense of routing, etc. Can you walk us through some of the things you have to consider, and potentially tradeoff, as youâre thinking about network design and operations (e.g. performance, security, costs, logging, troubleshooting, etc.)
Topic 3 - Usually there are many teams involved in making a large organization work. How do you collaborate across teams, and what types of technical hurdles get in the way of delivering the service? (maybe discuss logging challenges)
Topic 3a - How has the role of SRE and Network Engineer evolved as weâre now dealing with this new complexity? You have all the normal performance, high availability, observability stuff, but also things like egress costs, etc.
Topic 4 - We talked earlier about the challenge of cost management when running a large SaaS service. What are some of the ways that you explore or model costing behaviors and look to improve them?
Topic 5 - As youâre working in a single cloud (e.g. AWS), thereâs often a belief that working only in that ecosystem is the best approach, as everything is integrated or billing is simpler. How did you go about exploring alternatives that worked in your cloud, but gave you more flexibility for your services?
Topic 6 - How do you tend to think about lines of demarcation between your team, the SaaS tooling provider and the cloud provider?
FEEDBACK? -

SHOW NOTES:
Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Tell us about your background, and then give us a little bit of background on where you focus your time at IBM these days?
Topic 2 - Developer code assistants have become one of the most popular areas of GenAI usage. At a high level, how mature are the technologies that augment developers today?
Topic 3 - Software development has an entire lifecycle (Generate, Complete, Explain, Test, Transform, Document). Itâs easy for developers to just plug in a service, but is that often the most effective way to start using GenAI in the software development lifecycle?
Topic 4 - Software developers are notoriously picky about what tools they use and how they use them. GenAI doesnât âguaranteeâ outputs. Are there concerns that if different developers or groups use different coding assistants, that it could create more challenges than it helps?
Topic 5 - What is a holistic way to think about code assistants? How much should be actively engaged with developers, how much should be behind the scenes, how much will be automated or agentic in the future?
Topic 6 - In the past, we essentially had âreal developersâ (people who wrote code) and things like Low-Code for âcitizen developersâ on process tasks. Do you expect to see code assistants bringing more powerful skills to people that previously hadnât identified as a real developer? (e.g. the great idea on a napkin that turns into a mobile app)FEEDBACK?
