I'm here at The Wynn hotel in Las Vegas as AWS re:Invent 2022 kicks off today. The event catches the cloud services giant at a historic inflection point, as the cloud hyperscaler industry enters early maturity, the epic capital bets Amazon has made over the last decade and a half are showing their wisdom (or not), and right as Chief Information Officers (CIOs) are closely scrutinize their cloud portfolio to ensure they get the most value from them.
Through the course of this next week, I'll be covering the main re:Invent track as live as I can here, as well as the separate but co-joined AWS Analyst Summit. I'll be providing real-time analysis and coverage, mostly from a CIO perspective but also from an enterprise architecture point-of-view. Refresh this blog to pull the latest.

First up, I'm heading downstairs at The Wynn for the first session of the AWS Analyst Summit for the Public Cloud Roundtable. This session is off the record in terms of details but I'll provide oblique thoughts as it progresses.
8:23am: It's clear that Amazon is very proud of its Graviton 3 custom silicon. It's 60% more energy efficient over x86. Custom silicon has become a prime differentiator as the super hungry machine learning and AI workloads businesses want to run consume vast horsepower in order to provide competitive advantage.
