Over the last 2 weeks, we’ve seen a lot of AWS announcements. Yes, that’s right, it’s AWS pre:invent season ahead of AWS re:invent in Las Vegas.

I’ve reviewed 228 different announcements and come up with, in my opinion, the Top 5 announcements, some honourable mentions and some observations.

(Before we dive into this, I’ll also make it known that I’d never give an opinion of a service I was not experienced with, so some announcements may not have been included in my list)

Early this year, AWS officially unveiled its newest Australia region in Melbourne. This has caused many a conversation amongst customers as to whether now is the right time to look into a multi-region strategy or if a multiple availability zone strategy is the most cost-effective way of having an adequate disaster recovery plan.

I was asked in the office the other day if I knew how to grab the Users, Groups and Permission sets from IAM Identity Center using a script.

On January 20th 2023, AWS announced a significant improvement to the AWS Marketplace Console, making the seller and customer experience smoother and more appealing.
