As AWS users we often experience friction when developing or operating our workloads. Some of this is healthy, some is infuriating. Previous versions of this presentation explored a series of pain points collected in a survey of the Perth AWS user community. In this version, delivered at the inaugural 2023 AWS Community Day in Singapore, time constraints required a different focus. Rather than honing in on technical solutions and workarounds to specific problems, I examined some key classes of pain point and the strategies that we have available to handle them.
Many thanks to JourneyOne for supporting my trip to Singapore and also to the Singapore AWS User Group for their work in bringing this event to the AWS user community and for inviting me to speak.
