- AWS is getting back to basics on Cloud - a focus on primitives
- AWS 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)

Brandon’s Top 5 Takeaways:
- Amazon is the “Everything Store,” AWS is the “Every Service Store”
- Garmon is the legacy AWS CEO, Jassy is the AWS AI CEO
- AWS 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 will never stop telling us about “Working Backwards”
- AWS marketing still wants talk about the how rather than the benefit. A long lecture on Nitro and Amazon Aurora DSQL with a lot of discussion about synchronizing clocks.
