Last year, I mentioned about not attending the re:Invent 2019 Live from Las Vegas. This year, I still sit at the same view at home with everyone going through the same experience across the globe. I don't think it's a time to be proud about, however I feel we are lucky enough to sustain our work life remotely with less hassle even during this pandemic.
The mind boggling number of registered attendees (500,000+) shows the sheer amount of interest and popularity ofAc Amazon Web Services! Period!
