AWS takes a musical approach at re:Invent with machine learning, serverless and IoT key

More than 20 announcements flowed at AWS re:Invent today, including updates on machine learning, databases and the Internet of Things (IoT) – not to mention a couple of big-name customer wins. The theme for Amazon Web Services CEO Andy Jassy was around builders. Unlike the previous year's keynote, where it was about superpowers, this presentation had a slightly more mundane – and musical – approach. Technology builders are like musicians, Jassy explained. Some guitarists may play acoustic a lot of the time, but require some parts be played electric.
