This document summarizes a meetup recap of the 2013 AWS re:Invent conference. It discusses several new services and updates announced at the conference, including Amazon WorkSpaces (virtual desktops), IAM supporting SAML, Trusted Advisor improvements, Amazon AppStream, RDS adding support for PostgreSQL, new C3, G2, and I2 EC2 instance types, DynamoDB adding global secondary indexes, and previews of Amazon Kinesis for real-time streaming data and AWS CloudTrail for API call auditing. The meetup also covered breakout sessions on optimizing EC2 and EBS performance and managing infrastructure as code instead of by individual resources.
