When I read the announcement this morning, it occurred to me that the reason I like AWS so much, and what separates them from other cloud offerings, is that they're doing stuff dev teams actually want and can use (not impenetrably complex tech we could use with some vendor consultancy). Import features like this are trivial for AWS to implement - but will be a step change for some customers. Last generation vendors saying 'anyone can do what AWS are doing' is just crap. You can't buy the enthusiasm these guys have - and its not just one individual - if you talk to anyone from AWS (and they're often around nights/weekends to talk about stuff) they are in a different lane to the competition or vendors that should be the competition.
