Apparently this year I started a tradition of wearing my slide art printed on my t-shirt.

COP322 “Don’t get stuck: How connected telemetry keeps you moving forward”. The recording is now available: youtu.be/ad42UTjP7ds #AWSreInvent #Observability

Come learn cognitive techniques and tools for reducing time to resolution. We'll talk instrumentation, logs, telemetry correlation, and I'll show how Amazon Q Developer for troubleshooting operational incidents helps you move toward resolution even faster. Thursday 2pm! #AWSReInvent #observability

When I built demos for my #awsreinvent talk about troubleshooting, I was blown away at how quickly Amazon Q Developer was able to root cause the failures I was injecting. Come learn more for COP322 on Thursday 3pm. Try the new troubleshooting capability in CloudWatch: aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/in...
