The three weeks of re:invent are finally drawing to a close and it’s been a whirlwind of announcements and recaps of the most unusual year of the century. The major takeaway for me, above all the industry news, is that the work didn’t stop. Innovation continued at full speed despite all our lives being disrupted. From the talks this week it’s clear that serverless is growing at massive speed this year.

5 minEnterprises taking advantage of modern security practices (think moving target defense, granular least privileged access/execution of services) are moving **from dedicated instances** to **serverless architectures.** Thus, they rely on modern managed services e.g., functions-as-a-service, managed databases, API gateways, pub/sub and queueing systems, etc. It’s the progress of security practices like this that caught my ear in this final week of re:Invent. In particular, Benjamin Smith's talk highlighted common security challenges and how to successfully navigate them.
