Special - Re:invent Recap (More than just FinOps)

Frank and Steve lament on trips to Vegas over the years, with Frank going to this year's Re:invent again in person.  

We discuss our favourite bits of news (which was quite a lot) and you may notice that while in the Keynotes Sustainability was discussed a lot, not much comes across in the latest releases. 

We even have updates from Steve's favourite AWS service he'll never use and a lot more instance types than we can shake a stick at!

Thanks for listening and please have a wonderful end of 2022!
