They discuss Amazon S3 metadata, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, DeepSeek R1, Amazon Simple Email Service, AWS survey on AWS service usage and trends and Jon finally got to go Apple reaction crazy for our 100th episode! 06:14 - Amazon S3 Metadata is now generally available This feature, announced at re:Invent, is now generally available. It provides automated metadata for S3 objects, potentially reducing the need for manual metadata management. However, it's currently only available in three US regions and has a complex pricing structure that may be challenging to calculate. 10:52 - AWS Elastic Beanstalk adds default support of EC2 Launch Template when creating new environments Elastic Beanstalk, which has seen renewed development recently, now supports EC2 launch templates when creating new environments. This update aligns with the deprecation of launch configurations. The speakers discussed Beanstalk's position as a starter service and its potential limitations for more advanced users. 14:46 - DeepSeek-R1 models now available on AWS AWS quickly made DeepSeek's efficient AI models available on Bedrock following recent media attention. This move is seen as reactionary but necessary to compete with other AI providers. The pricing model differs from other Bedrock offerings, being based on infrastructure costs rather than per-token pricing. 20:17 - Amazon SES celebrates 14 years of email sending and deliverability The Simple Email Service's 14th anniversary was discussed, with mixed opinions on its usefulness. While it has improved over time, some users find third-party email services more convenient, particularly due to SES's initial restrictions and approval processes. 27:03 - Answers for AWS survey Peter Sankowskas discussed his annual survey of AWS service usage and sentiment. The survey provides insights into which services are popular, trending, or declining in the AWS ecosystem. Notable findings include high satisfaction with services like SQS and DynamoDB, and interesting trends in CI/CD tool preferences.
