Back in April I was lucky enough to speak at the #AWSSummit in London. I was also invited to record an episode of the #AWSDeveloperPodcast talking about #resilience, #ChaosEngineering and #AWS #FaultInjectionService.

The episode went live today - open.spotify.com/episode/1zp9... .

Over the holidays, I finally got the chance to do some blogging - first is an article with an overview of chaos engineering and how Amazon's Fault Injection Service can provide a managed approach to this. This is the first of a set of articles - next, we'll look at how to test various services.

As we get closer to year end and the festive break, finally finding time to add some videos of my presentations and workshops to my website https://buff.ly/4gj8IUV

It's great to see S3 getting so much love in the CTO keynote at re:Invent. I've spoken about it several times this year, and after one presentation, someone asked me what I thought about S3. 1/2

Reflecting on a fantastic day at the AWS Community Day in Belfast, where I presented. Recordings are now on their YouTube channel, so catch my session at https://buff.ly/3OCoLk. Don't just visit for my talk though; all event sessions are accessible at https://buff.ly/3ZCdA1x.

I recently ran a workshop on Amazon's #FaultInjectionService. Just before, AWS introduced a new feature for testing Lambda with FIS, which I couldn't cover.

I've now prepared an update, complete with a guide available at https://buff.ly/3B2guU1 and the code at https://buff.ly/4gjRS80.

Last week I ran a hands-on workshop looking at the AWS Fault Injection Service, which is a chaos engineering tool.

The recording is available at https://buff.ly/3CihgMT and the code we used in the workshop is at https://buff.ly/4hFIX2r

I'm really enjoying video creation at the minute, but I promise I will get back to the blog posts.

In the meantime, a new #youtube in my #CodeCatalyst series - "Mastering Environments in CodeCatalyst Projects"

I've just written up an overview of the new CodeWhisperer capabilities - including how to use it to generate Terraform in VSCode.

After my talk at the Edinburgh AWS user group about the things we learned whilst trying to produce a solution for this, it's a relief to see AWS have solved it for us.
