AWS re:Invent 2018: [NEW LAUNCH!] Introducing AWS Cloud Map (CON366)

In this session we introduce AWS Cloud Map, a new service that lets you build the map of your cloud. It allows you to define friendly names for any resource such as S3 buckets, DynamoDB tables, SQS queues, or custom cloud services built on EC2, ECS, EKS, or Lambda. Your applications can then discover resource location, credentials, and metadata by friendly name using the AWS SDK and authenticated API queries. You can further filter resources discovered by custom attributes, such as deployment stage or version. AWS Cloud Map is a highly available service with rapid configuration change propagation.

30:18 Does this mean that AWS AppMesh relies on AWS CloudMap ?
30:54 So we can sync Istio's registry of services with AWS Cloud Map's registry. This is useful when your services are not limited to your K8s cluster, but span for instance both a K8s and ECS cluster.
