Robbie Cooray posted thisAfter 6 years, 4 months, and 26 days - 2340 Day 1's - I'm closing my chapter at AWS. When I joined AWS back in late 2019, I had no idea how transformative this journey would be for me. I leave deeply indebted to AWS for one of the most fruitful and memorable journeys of my career. I initially wrote a summary of all of my highlights. But I took it off. This post is about my appreciation. The people who I was fortunate enough to interact with, made this amazing journey absolutely unforgettable. First to my truly amazing customers - you always trusted me to do the right thing - thank you so much for making me part of your family. Your partnership made every challenge worthwhile. You made it so easy for me to advocate on behalf of you. To my managers - Daniel Zoltak, Andrew Mitchell, Troy Kirkland, Nickk Sun, Shaun Keating - thank you for the trust, the guidance, and the countless opportunities that shaped my growth. To the leadership - Nam Je Cho, Duncan Jessep, Lucy Moffat (née Segal), Rianne Van Veldhuizen, Jessica Lin - thank you for the vision, support, belief and the autonomy that you gave me to deliver results for my customers. To my WES A-team (Lisa Torelli, Tim Batsilas, Bikram Bora, Angela Chao, Simon Lee, Shing Poon, Patrick Chan, Jeremy Tennant), my SA Launch #roonicorns (Derrick Choo, Mai Nishitani, William Wong, Rachel Rui L., Tasleem Hussein, Frank Fan), my retail SA team (Adrian Hunter, Isha Dalal Guy Morton, Aman Sharma, Cheng Wang, Ankit Richharia, Wilson Alberto Torres, Ph.D., Rakshak Raghavan) and to all my countless wonderful colleagues (way too many to mention, but you know know who you are!) - who gave me CONSISTENT imposter syndrome, major FOMO, pushed me to my absolute limits, and for those I had the privilege of mentoring - I hope I have done right by you. Thank you for making me better every single day. You have made a positive influence, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will be taking a short pause to prioritise family and reflect on my next chapter. I am sad to leave such an incredible team and an amazing company, but deeply grateful for the relationships, the chats, the stories, and the Amazon Leadership Principles (LPs) I'll carry forward. Here's to new chapters ahead. 🚀 #AWS #AWSAlumni #Grateful #CloudArchitecture #LeadershipJourney #reInvent #GenAI

Robbie Cooray reposted thisRobbie Cooray reposted thisI'm excited to announce that the Fullstack AgentCore Solution Template (FAST) is now open source! 👉 https://lnkd.in/e-52Xvmv FAST is a project I've been leading with an incredible team at AWS. It's a starter project repository that lets you deploy a secured, web-accessible React frontend connected to an Amazon Bedrock AgentCore backend. This will enable you go from zero to a working full-stack agent application in minutes, not weeks. Why we built it: Building production-quality full stack agent applications requires a lot of undifferentiated heavy lifting: infrastructure, authentication, streaming, frontend scaffolding, etc. We want you to be able to skip all that and focus on what actually matters: the GenAI implementation itself. What makes FAST different: - Deep integration with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore out of the box, handling runtime, MCP tool gateways, agent memory, agent identity, and more. - Framework agnostic: works with Strands, LangGraph, or any agent SDK - Vibe-coding ready: best practices are codified in documentation and steering docs that AI coding assistants can automatically leverage - Security-first: authentication integrated throughout the stack - Deploy with a few CDK commands We'll continue actively maintaining and developing FAST. Feedback and contributions are welcome! Huge thanks to my team of core contributors who made this possible: Isaac Privitera Brian Zambrano Monica Raj Davide Merlin Anurag Bhagat Ryan Razkenari Additional thanks to Taimur Rashid Sri Elaprolu Diego Socolinsky for their leadership, and Maíra Ladeira Tanke Eashan Kaushik Evandro Franco Sabine Khan Harshit Kumar Gupta and everyone else for the support. #AWS #GenAI #AgentCore #OpenSource

Robbie Cooray reposted thisRobbie Cooray reposted thisAI has reshaped home and business security – from smart doorbells to real-time monitoring and predictive analytics. But one challenge persists: alert fatigue. Too many notifications from motion sensors mean people either turn them off or ignore them, risking missed security events. As we kick off AWS re:Invent 2025, Swann Communications, an Australian leader in smart security, is tackling this issue head on with Amazon Web Services (AWS)-powered innovation. Introducing Notify Me When, a new Generative AI feature in the Swann Security App that only delivers custom alerts that matter. How it works: When motion is detected, Swann’s cameras use AWS AI to interpret the scene and generate a descriptive text summary. If it matches your custom prompt, like “notify me if a dog enters the backyard” or “alert me if a child is near the pool”, you’ll get a notification. No more constant pings for shadows or leaves blowing past the camera. The impact: • False positive alerts cut by up to 65% • Total notifications down by 25% • Relevance lifted to 89% Jared Lynch from The Australian dives deeper into how Swann is using Generative AI to solve this challenge. I'm excited to see and hear from more Australian businesses at AWS re:Invent this week on how they’re using AI to solve real-world challenges. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gEK-UJ2X

Robbie Cooray reposted thisRobbie Cooray reposted thisWe started the morning here at #AWSreInvent with a keynote from Matt Garman. Great to see the impact AI agents are having on organizations across every industry. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is building the foundation for billions of agents and pushing past what’s possible with infrastructure and inventing new building blocks for customers. Really excited for how Frontier Agents will transform software development (I’ll break this down in a different post today). Took some quick notes on the important news from Matt’s talk this morning, here’s my recap:

Robbie Cooray reposted thisRobbie Cooray reposted thisKiro is Generally Available today! Here's the top 5 points you need to know: 1️⃣ Property-Based Testing: Does your code actually match your spec? Regular unit tests just check specific examples, but Property-Based Testing checks universal rules. When you write specs with Kiro now, you'll see PBT tasks listed that cross-reference properties from the design doc, and requirements from requirements.md. Kiro generates hundreds of random test cases to check them, so you can be sure things actualy work the way you want them to, and check for some interesting edge cases that might normally slip through. 2️⃣ Checkpointing: Experiment without Fear When you're chatting with Kiro (in vibe or spec) you'll now see a little restore point marker at the top of the chat panel in the UI. Click 'Restore' to time travel back to a checkpoint and roll back both your file changes and your conversation history. 3️⃣ Kiro CLI: Bring Agents to your Terminal This is something people have been DM'ing me to ask about, and now it's here! You can also use custom agents here that are specialised AI assistants configured for specific tasks, with focused context and pre-approved tools. If you're someone who lives and dies by context window management, you will really get value from this. 4️⃣ Kiro for Teams Organisations can now manage Kiro through AWS IAM Identity Center. Admins can control everything from the AWS Management console, including assigning subscriptions, enabling/disabling overages, control MCP, and consolidated billing. 5️⃣ Startup Offer Kiro is offering eligible startups one full year of Kiro Pro+ at no cost, but you need to apply by Dec 31!

Robbie Cooray reacted on thisRobbie Cooray reacted on thisAfter seven years at AWS, I’m moving on to my next chapter! I’ve had the chance to work with some very talented colleagues, partners, and customers, and I’ve learned a great deal along the way. There are too many people to thank individually, but I appreciate everyone who’s been part of the journey. On that note, I’m excited to share that I’ve recently joined Stripe in Melbourne as an Enterprise Solutions Architect. I’ve long admired Stripe for helping businesses scale and operate globally, and I’m looking forward to contributing to that work. A special thank you to Jovina Soh, Daniel Miller, and the wider ANZ Stripe team for the warm welcome and opportunity.

Robbie Cooray reacted on thisRobbie Cooray reacted on thisAs NASA's Artemis II crew returns to Earth after a historic journey around the Moon, I'm proud of the role that AWS played in supporting that mission. For the first time in more than 50 years, astronauts traveled beyond low Earth orbit. NASA's flight sciences team used Amazon EC2 in AWS GovCloud as a primary compute platform for trajectory analysis, the precision calculations that ensure the spacecraft stays on its exact path around the Moon and back, especially in the critical first 48 hours after launch. And the incredible 4K images and video from Orion were transmitted by NASA's Orion Artemis II Optical Communications System over the AWS global network. As NASA looks ahead to the planned lunar landing in 2028, we're honored to support what comes next. Congratulations to Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen. Welcome home!

Robbie Cooray reacted on thisExcited to share that I've just joined Latitude.sh as their first Solutions Architect for the APAC region! 2 weeks in and I've already had the privilege of spending time with the global team at our Sao Paulo headquarters. I’ve joined an incredible team building something exciting in the AI infrastructure space. So what does Latitude.sh do? We're a Neo cloud company that provide Compute, Storage and Networking. Bare Metal as a Service: deployed globally in under 5 seconds GPUaaS: purpose-built for AI training and inference Storage: NVMe-backed and globally distributed Networking: Megaport's Network-as-a-Service fabric Our customers run everything from AI/ML workloads, to Gaming, Crypto, Web3 and beyond. Customers choose us because they need lightning-fast compute with no noisy neighbours and the ability to scale globally through automation. The differentiator is that Latitude.sh is now part of Megaport. You get dedicated bare metal performance and a private global network backbone. For organisations that need to scale fast across regions with maximum performance, that combination is hard to beat. If you're in APAC and thinking about bare metal, GPU infrastructure, or how to get more performance per dollar out of your cloud spend, I'd love to connect and have a chat. #Latitude #NeoCloud #AIInfra #BareMetal #Cloud #GPUaaS #APAC #Infrastructure #AI #Megaport#NewRole

Robbie Cooray reacted on thisRobbie Cooray reacted on thisI almost didn't take Amazon's call. It's an online bookstore. How hard could their scaling be? I did visit to give a talk, and when I took a glance in their (technology) kitchen I was totally blown away. Every distributed systems problem my colleagues and I had been theorizing about at Cornell, from fault tolerance to consistency and to availability at scale, Amazon was wrestling with them live, in production, every day. At a scale orders of magnitude larger than I had ever seen before. And more importantly, no commercial software worked at this scale, so everything was home-grown. Real customers. Real outcome. I wanted to be part of that. What grew out of that became AWS. And from the beginning, the roadmap was written by customers. A customer couldn't afford infrastructure upfront, so we built EC2. A customer said S3's consistency was breaking their systems, so we fixed it, for everyone, overnight. A customer said the hypervisor overhead was an unbreakable ceiling, so we built Nitro and eliminated it. Every time a customer handed us a task that seemed impossible, we invented our way out of it.. Twenty years later, nothing has changed. AI scales on infrastructure. The reason a startup can build with frontier models today, without a data center or a nine-figure budget, is the same reason a startup could launch in 2006 without owning a single server. The foundation always matters. And everything starts from what customers really need. The question is the same as it was 20 years ago — what problem are you trying to solve that you've been told can't be done? Tell me what's holding you back, and let's figure it out together: nowgobuild@amazon.com Now, go build.

Robbie Cooray liked thisRobbie Cooray liked thisHonored to share that im now a Principal AIML Solutions Architect at AWS. 🎉 I’m going to be honest - Good mentors are rare. Ones who then go on to lead you? Even rarer. I keep thinking back to where this started. I was a Serverless SA, genuinely new to AI and ML, still figuring out if I even belonged in that world. Thanks to Sam Palani who never stopped believing in me and continuing to inspire me! Thanks to my amazing colleges and mentors Nav Bhasin Mike Buonocore Dhiraj Mahapatro Uma Ramadoss Kosti Vasilakakis Eric Johnson Tara Raj Kelsey Szot and many more! This would not have been possible without you! I’m deeply grateful and energized for what’s ahead. Here's to the next chapter. 🙏

Robbie Cooray liked thisRobbie Cooray liked thisWhat an amazing week in Adelaide and Perth! The energy at our #DataforBreakfast events was fantastic. Bringing together so many data leaders across both cities highlights the incredible momentum we’re seeing in the Adelaide and Perth data communities. It was an absolute pleasure presenting alongside Timothy Parish, Matt Todd, Jeff Tan （陳世偉）, Rob Absalom and Andrew Pietruschka - demonstrating how #Snowflake is helping organisations turn AI ambition into reality. The highlight was hearing from Jeslyn Kuan at P&N Bank, Christopher Bouras at Homestart, and Ben Primus from Return to Work SA. Nothing beats a first-hand account of delivering real business value through a modern data stack. Success like this is a team effort. A massive thanks you to our partners for their continued support - #Deloitte, #Cloudwerx, #Altis, #Fivetran, #Vivanti and #Versent. Last but not definitely least - a huge shoutout to our amazing Marketing team Kate Power, Amelia Noonan and Michael Costigan who brought all this together.
