AWS Summit is an event for everyone interested in innovating with all things cloud, where the cloud computing community can come together to learn about Amazon Web Services (AWS), share best practices, and exchange information.
There will be more than 150 sessions, more than 250 exhibition booths, and a variety of other content.
When I enter Makuhari Messe, I see large board.
At the reception I can get a reserved seat ticket for the keynote speech and a lunch voucher.
Previous events have had unreserved seating, but this year it seems that seating will be reserved.

There are cushions placed on the seats that we can take home.
This year's cushions have bands and are foldable.
Since various swags will be available to receive during the event, it is great to have the cushions fold up compactly.

An opening DJ is playing at the keynote venue, which get me excited.
First, a greeting from Jaime Valles, Vice President & Managing Director and Japan Managing Director.
He say that we will continue to focus on the Japanese market.

Next is a session by Werner Vogels, CTO.
I listened to Werner's session at re:Invent last year, and it was an engaging talk that interweaved historical background.
It was a very rare opportunity to listen to Werner speak in Japan.
- The idea of automation has existed since the time of Plato and Aristotle.
- From early expert systems, ideas such as deep learning and reinforcement learning have emerged, and LLM has recently come to prominence.
- LLM is just the beginning, and it is important to think about what we will achieve with AI.
- Good AI requires good data, and good work requires good people.
- Examples of AI technology use in agriculture, drones, medicine, etc. were introduced.

Last year, "democratization of security" was an important keyword, but "democratization of data" is also likely to become an important keyword.
I feel that we will need the ability to look at issues from a broader perspective and consider ways to utilize AI technology.

Next is a session by Jared Kaplan, Co-Founder & Chief Scientist at Anthropic.
He talk about Anthropic's research, security efforts, and Claude3.

He made various announcements.
- Anthropic's Claude3 now available in the Tokyo region
- Amazon Q Business Japanese version released
- Announcement of new certifications, AIF and MLA
- Announcement of AWS Generated AI Practical Application Promotion Program

As expected, the keynote speech was full of generative AI.
The venue was very spacious, with many session venue and corporate booths creating a lively atmosphere.
The certified lounge is larger than last year.
An exciting race is taking place at the AWS DeepRacer venue.
There are also some photogenic spots.
I had the chance to try out Chaos Kitty.
The physical architecture, made up of blocks and IoT lightbulbs, represents a simple three-tier web app in an AWS environment.
When a configuration change occurs, the IoT lightbulbs change color from green (safe) to red (configuration violation), and I can change the settings in the AWS console to make them all green.

I tried holding the actual AWS Snowball
This year's AWS Summit was also very enjoyable.
As expected, there were many topics related to generative AI.
Many companies are offering services using generative AI, and I realized that generative AI is becoming increasingly widespread and being integrated into services as a matter of course.
This concludes my brief introduction to AWS Summit Japan 2024.
