Hello! 👋 I have been working in technology for over 25 years, and with AWS technologies since about 2010. My main focus has been on traditional infrastructure and networking but have a strong security mindset. Up until recently I had little DevOps experience but something I have concentrated on over the last 2 years.
Currently I am working for Accenture as part of the Accenture Amazon Business Group (AABG) as a senior technical architect and lead of the UK&I Well Architeced practice.
I am also part of the 2021 cohort on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Community Builders scheme. My category is Networking and Content Delivery but I will also be engaging with wider AWS topics and solutions.
Why another AWS blog?
I took a while before deciding to create this blog and I am sure many people will be asking why create yet another AWS blog. I thought the same but looking at most the blogs out there many were focused on either complicated implementations or regurgitating AWS documentation. My hope is that this site and content will be useful for those looking to advance their understanding of AWS and improve their deployments.
The basis for content will be the AWS Well-Architected Framework and how to deploy everything as code rather than the console. I will also share my views or reasoning on various topics so you get an understanding of why I came to a particular decision.
What I will try and avoid are the “what is service …”. AWS do a great job of explaining their services both on the website and YouTube recording. Where needed i might mention a service but will point to further references.
