Welcoming Adrian Cockcroft to the AWS Team

Nice addition to AWS team! Adrian was my boss at Netflix when Netflix started the transition to the cloud. Not only Adrian is a great smart guy but he had always been happy to share his knowledge. He was the best engineering manager I ever had in my career by a huge factor! Congrats Adrian!

AWESOME NEWS!!! Very fortunate to call Adrian a friend, truly an incredibly kind and generous human. He gave me a lot of really good advice when I was working at DigitalOcean, so I can only imagine how much of a benefit he will be to AWS. Awesome awesome awesome.

Anyone who did Solaris admin in the 90s and early 00s would know the name very well.<p>Interesting as of 2010 he had not even used Solaris for four years.<p>Good reading: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;perfcap.blogspot.com.au&#x2F;2010&#x2F;08&#x2F;open-letter-to-my-sun-friends-at-oracle.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;perfcap.blogspot.com.au&#x2F;2010&#x2F;08&#x2F;open-letter-to-my-sun...</a>

Woah ! Big catch. He&#x27;s obviously got some super dope scale experience from Netflix. Can only mean good things for AWS, considering MSFT is snatching some big cos as customers.

Adrian is an amazing guy.<p>Truly knowledgeable. Humble. Technically deep. I&#x27;ve never worked FOR him but I&#x27;ve heard several times how good of a boss he is.<p>This is a great win for AWS.

Congratulations, Adrian!
