#267: An Old Story
Behind technology is people! In a non-technically focussed episode Simon has a wide-ranging conversation with Allison Gumahad (International Proposal Manager, AWS) and Mike Gilmore (Senior Proposal Manager, AWS) about the affect of age and experience on team dynamics and working in technology. AWS Careers: https://aws.amazon.com/careers/
#266: Next Generation Security with Automated Reasoning, an Artificial Intelligence Technology
AWS is implementing next generation security technology backed by automated reasoning, which uses mathematical logic to provide higher levels of security assurance. Automated reasoning automates the detection of entire classes of misconfigurations that could potentially expose vulnerable data, relieving customers from managing increasingly granular enterprise security controls. Byron Cook, Director of the Automated Reasoning Group, shares how automated reasoning is being leveraged across AWS, in areas such as verifying cryptographic protocols, deeper data protection measures and streamlining enterprise governance. https://aws.amazon.com/security/provable-security/
#265: The State of Containers on AWS
