    #733: Amazon Connect - So Many Cool New Capabilities For You to Use!
    Aug 18 2025
    In this episode of the AWS Podcast, we explore the evolving world of contact centers and Amazon Connect. The discussion covers why contact centers remain critical to both business and public sector operations, and how they're transforming from traditional cost centers into valuable sources of business intelligence. Key highlights include Amazon Connect's integration capabilities with AWS services, particularly through AWS Lambda functions, and the recent implementation of generative AI features including contact summarisation, agent evaluations, and Amazon Q in Connect. The conversation emphasizes how modern technology is helping organizations better understand customer needs, improve agent performance, and maintain human empathy in customer service while leveraging automation. The episode also touches on practical aspects of system integration and data management, demonstrating how Amazon Connect helps organizations overcome traditional barriers in contact center operations. https://aws.amazon.com/connect/ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/contact-center/introducing-the-next-generation-of-amazon-connect/

    #732: How to gain Multi-Cluster Visibility across Kubernetes Clusters with the EKS Dashboard
    Aug 4 2025
    In this episode, we'll explore how the new Amazon EKS Dashboard solves key challenges in managing Kubernetes at scale across multiple AWS accounts and regions. We'll discuss how it provides centralized visibility into cluster health, versions, and costs - enabling teams to improve governance, streamline operations, and optimize their Kubernetes infrastructure. Listeners will learn about key use cases like version lifecycle management, upgrade planning, add-on governance, and cost forecasting. We'll provide both a high-level overview for architects and managers, as well as dive into some of the technical details that will interest Kubernetes practitioners. 1) Whats New Post: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2025/05/eks-dashboard-multi-cluster-view-kubernetes-infrastructure-aws-regions-organizations/ 2) EKS Dashboard User Guide: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/cluster-dashboard.html 3) Deep Dive blog: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/containers/deep-dive-amazon-eks-dashboard-for-visibility-into-multi-cluster-operations-and-governance/ 4) YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1I1H2wA1Sk

    #730: The Frugal Architect w/ Werner Vogels: At Too Good To Go, Practical Engineering Keeps Food Out of the Bin
    Jul 21 2025
    In the fifth episode of "The Frugal Architect" podcast, Werner and co-host Simon Elisha welcome Morten Keldebaek (CTO) and Robert Hjertmann from Too Good To Go. Too Good To Go is the world's largest marketplace for surplus food, connecting consumers with restaurants, cafes, and grocery stores to rescue food that would otherwise go to waste. The discussion will start with their journey from Endomondo (a sports tracking app) to Too Good To Go, exploring how they applied frugal engineering principles across both startups. They'll dive deep into the technical challenges of scaling a global platform with limited resources, the architectural decisions that enabled their growth, and how their frugal mindset aligns perfectly with Too Good To Go's mission of reducing waste. The conversation will highlight how constraints breed creativity and how asking "why" before building has helped them create sustainable, scalable systems while keeping costs under control.
