Three years before millions of viewers saw, arguably, one of the most thrilling World Cup Finals ever broadcast, TF1, the leading private TV channel in France, started a project to redefine the foundations of its broadcasting platform, including adopting a new cloud-based architecture. They, and all other broadcasters, have been observing diminishing audiences for traditional over-the-air broadcasting and increasing popularity of digital platforms, such as smart TVs, and boxes like FireTV, ChromeCast, and AppleTV, as well as laptops, tablets, and mobile phones. According to Thierry Bonhomme, CTO of eTF1 (the group within TF1 in charge of digital platforms) whom I recently interviewed for the AWS French Podcast, digital broadcasting now accounts for 20–25 percent of TF1’s total audience.

This visualization was available at VPC creation time only, and now you can go back to it using the Resource Map tab in the console. You can read the details in Channy’s blog post. CloudTrail Lake now gives you the ability to ingest activity events from non-AWS sources. This lets you immutably store and then process activity events…
New – Deployment Pipelines Reference Architecture and Reference Implementations
Today, we are launching a new reference architecture and a set of reference implementations for enterprise-grade deployment pipelines. A deployment pipeline automates the building, testing, and deploying of applications or infrastructures into your AWS environments. When you deploy your workloads to the cloud, having deployment pipelines is key to gaining agility and lowering time to market. When I talk with you at conferences or on social media, I frequently hear that our documentation and tutorials are good resources to get started with a new service or a new concept. However, when you want to scale your usage or when you have complex or enterprise-grade use cases, you often lack resources to dive deeper. This is why we have created over…
