The weblog is in nice fingers and this group will proceed to maintain you knowledgeable even because the AWS tempo of innovation continues to speed up.
Since 2016, Jeff has been constructing the AWS Information Weblog as a group. Presently, we’re a bunch of 11 bloggers working in North America, South America, Asia, Europe, and Africa. We co-work with AWS product groups, testing new options firsthand on behalf of consumers, and delivering key particulars within the Information Weblog the way in which Jeff has at all times carried out.
The Management Rules for AWS Information Bloggers that Jeff shared on LinkedIn are a textbook for anybody writing for patrons in tech corporations. They’re the basics that may assist you perceive and get began running a blog rapidly, and we’ll proceed to stay to those rules with our group. Because of this the AWS Information Weblog is totally different from different tech corporations’ product information channels.
Voices from weblog writers
Chances are you’ll be conversant in the names of Information Weblog writers, however it’s possible you’ll not have had the possibility to listen to about them. Allow us to introduce ourselves!
I’m honored to proceed Jeff’s legacy as a brand new lead blogger of the Information Weblog group; he’s my position mannequin. Once I joined AWS in 2014, the very first thing I did was to create the AWS Korea Weblog and I began translating Jeff’s weblog posts into the Korean language. In the course of the journey, I realized easy methods to write correct, sincere, and highly effective guides to assist clients get began with new AWS merchandise and options.
Since my first Information Weblog publish in 2018, I’ve realized a lot by being a part of this group. Working with product managers and repair groups is at all times a tremendous expertise.

It’s unbelievable how applied sciences like generative AI have gotten a part of software program improvement implicitly (by way of AI-enabled improvement instruments) and explicitly (by utilizing fashions in code).
I’m lucky to have been part of this group since 2019. Once I don’t write posts, I produce episodes of the AWS Builders Podcast and le podcast AWS en français. I additionally work with the groups for Amazon EC2 Mac, AWS SDK for Swift, and the CodeBuild and CodeArtifact groups attempting to make the AWS Cloud simpler to make use of for Apple builders. My pet challenge is the Swift Runtime for AWS Lambda.
The Amazon Management Rules (LPs) information all that we do right here at AWS, together with the work we do as authors of the Information Weblog. As a developer advocate, I’ve taken the steerage of the LPs and used it to information members of the AWS group who need to create technical content material, particularly these new of their technical content material creation journey.
Identical to brewing espresso, being a weblog creator has been a mixture of enjoyable, problem, and reward. I’ve been notably lucky to look at how buyer obsession is constructed into AWS groups. I’ve seen how they work backwards, remodeling your suggestions into providers or options. I genuinely hope that you just take pleasure in studying our articles and look ahead to the subsequent chapter of the Information Weblog group.

My specialties are .NET improvement and microservices, however I’ve at all times been a jack-of-all-trades and writing for this weblog helps me to maintain my knife sharp throughout all corners of contemporary know-how, whereas additionally serving to others do the identical. Hundreds of individuals learn the AWS Information Weblog and use it as a go-to supply to maintain up with what’s new and to assist them make selections, so I do know that what we’re doing is significant work with big influence.
By means of my blogs, I try to spotlight not simply the “what” of recent providers, but additionally the “why” and “how” they’ll rework companies and consumer experiences. As a options architect specializing in Microsoft Workloads on AWS, I assist clients migrate and modernize their workloads and construct scalable structure on AWS. I additionally mentor numerous folks to excel of their cloud careers.
Each time I begin writing a brand new weblog, I really feel honored to be a part of this group, to have the ability to experiment with one thing new earlier than it’s launched, and to have the ability to share my expertise with the reader. This group is made up of specialists of all ranges and from a number of international locations and collectively, we’re a multicultural and multi-specialty group. Thanks, reader, for being right here.
Becoming a member of the Information Weblog group has reworked how I talk about know-how. With an ever-curious mindset, I strategy every new announcement aiming to make progressive providers accessible and fascinating. By bringing my distinctive and numerous perspective to technical content material, I try to assist builders really take pleasure in exploring our newest applied sciences.
