I’ve had a chance to use the service for a couple of weeks. My quick summary review is that it’s a little tricky setting up the IAM roles and security groups, but once you have that going, it works great! I see a ton of potential here in transforming the way people use AWS.

I also put together the Netflix use cases in the keynote so if you have any questions I’ll try to answer them!

Right now the only language/runtime supported is js/node, but they intend to include others.

(figured people would want to know this, and you have to scroll a ways to find out, so)

What does this mean to application development? Is it something revolutionay?

Seems like a much more interesting announcement than the container service. Can see the architectures of dozens of our systms collapsing down with this.

All these announcement are making me feel sorry for all the other players in the cloud game. The other guys don't even come close.
