@marknca tweeted at 30-Nov-2022, 16:36

@SwamiSivasubram diving into how our brains work. how they combine disparate facts and experiences to draw new conclusions in different contexts #reinvent

@marknca tweeted at 30-Nov-2022, 16:38

pivoting now to the lack of parallel with our organizations. they don’t store and process data like our 🧠 #reinvent

@marknca tweeted at 30-Nov-2022, 16:38

this is s great way to set up the central—or what I assume will be the central—theme of the keynote today key issues: - data isn’t centralized - …isn’t automatically process - …doesn’t naturally flow - …isn’t easy to visualize #reinvent

@marknca tweeted at 30-Nov-2022, 16:41

nice summary slide of @awscloud / @amazon successes rooted in data analysis and insights #reinvent

@marknca tweeted at 30-Nov-2022, 16:41

I think a lot of ppl sleep on @SwamiSivasubram’s keynote each year there’s a tendency to think, “I don’t do data/ml that much”, that’s a mistake this section is a great proof point that data insights drive EVERYTHING #reinvent

@marknca tweeted at 30-Nov-2022, 16:43

good customer reference highlights #reinvent

@marknca tweeted at 30-Nov-2022, 16:43

three core elements of a strong data strategy: - future-proof foundation - weave connective tissue - democratize data with tools & education #reinvent

@marknca tweeted at 30-Nov-2022, 16:44

@SwamiSivasubram is starting with “building a future-proof” data foundation #reinvent

@marknca tweeted at 30-Nov-2022, 16:45

4 key elements to that foundation: - tools for every workload - performance at scale - remove heavy lifting - flexibility and scalability #reinvent

@marknca tweeted at 30-Nov-2022, 16:45

“We believe that every customer should have access to a wide variety of tools…a one-size fits all approach simply doesn’t work in the long run”, @SwamiSivasubram #reinvent

need to focus on @SwamiSivasubram at the moment though. we’ve moved on to the connective tissue principle/aspect of a data strategy this is the 2nd major pillar, we’re done with a data foundation for now #reinvent

@marknca tweeted at 30-Nov-2022, 17:27

@SwamiSivasubram uses a really interesting real-world example of living root bridges. that bridges (see what I did there?) to: - quality tools and data - governance - connectivity #reinvent

@marknca tweeted at 30-Nov-2022, 17:41

I ❤️ the timeline view on the left of the slide. the screen captures could use a bigger scaling size to help with readability but @_Shikha_Verma_’s talk track is spot on makes it easier to understand the advantages of DataZone this demo is really well constructed #reinvent

@marknca tweeted at 30-Nov-2022, 17:43

for reference, this demo starts around 1h 8m into the keynote #reinvent

re: Zero ETL (or even Zero Trust) #reinvent

@marknca tweeted at 30-Nov-2022, 17:49

though both concepts are excellent. I just get hung up on terms and how they get diluted over time as more and more ppl “bend” (being generous there) the term to server their needs…and sales #reinvent
