Thank you for sharing. At fwd:cloudsec this year, we also provided transparency into our finances and many other things in our State of the Union address. We similarly pay way too much on food and coffee, but it is somewhat due to how US hotels charge.

It's surprising to see a talk at re:Invent about multi-cloud and stating that you should have a plan to exit a cloud. 😮 It is a vendor talk from a multicloud company, but still unexpected to me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpIF...

My friends at The Duckbill Group are doing their annual charity t-shirt drive. This year it's about being force-fed AI. Proceeds go to 826national.org. I've put together a commercial for it. Buy the t-shirt! 💪 store.lastweekinaws.com

More things to do in SLC if you're attending #KubeCon:
- For those who celebrate Exploding Whale Day on Nov 12, I do not know of any local celebrations, but there is a majestic whale sculpture near 9th and 9th to look at.

Interesting stats from USAA in their re:Inforce talk on AWS data perimeters: 85% of cross-org calls are to S3, and 70% of those S3 calls are to buckets owned by AWS.

TIL the Internet Archive has built-in diffing, so I've diff'd my favorite page, the AWS Service Terms. https://web.archive.org/web/diff/20230531191851/20230428162747/https://aws.amazon.com/service-terms/
