Plus: Managed Grafana service for observability Tim Anderson Wed 16 Dec 2020 // 16:28 UTC Share Copy re:Invent Amazon Web Services CTO Dr Werner Vogels has opened up on CloudShell, a Linux environment accessed through the browser which gives users a command-line and scripting environment for all AWS services. At a re:Invent keynote yesterday, the exec also described Fault Injection Simulator - chaos engineering as a service, intended to help customers build resilient applications. Dr Werner Vogels expounding the benefits of observability at an ancient food processing factory near his home town of Amsterdam, NL Vogels’ keynote was a welcome relief from the relentless marketing that has characterised many other re:Invent keynotes, focusing mainly on technology and software engineering. Speaking from a 19th century sugar beet processing plant in Haarlem in the Netherlands, he used the industrial background to discuss matters such as operations, observability and reliability in today’s context of cloud services.
