Datadog's AWS re:Invent 2020 guide

AWS re:Invent, an annual conference held in Las Vegas since 2012, is going virtual this year due to the pandemic. The event will be spread across three weeks instead of one and sessions will be rebroadcast to serve multiple time zones. Datadog, a long-time AWS partner, has prepared various interactive activities for attendees including demos in four languages, 1:1 sessions with technical solutions team members, daily raffle for an Xbox Series X, swag passport program and free trial sign up sweepstakes for a chance to win an iPhone 12 or Google Pixel 5. A virtual scavenger hunt through the Datadog platform will also be hosted on Tuesday, December 8. New for 2020 are AWS Hack Jams where attendees can compete in solving hands-on real-world challenges in live AWS environments. The event will feature several sessions including building the next generation of residential robots, paving the way toward automated driving with BMW Group, deep dive into AWS Lambda security: function isolation, testing resiliency using chaos engineering and Adrian Cockcroft’s architecture trends and topics for 2021. Datadog will also deliver a session with one of its customers, Dunelm, on how they drastically improved their deployment velocity by moving to serverless everything.
