Every year, AWS users flock to Las Vegas for re:Invent, where the public cloud provider sets its agenda for the upcoming year.

Here, you’ll find the most important news and analysis from AWS re:Invent 2019, including the general availability of AWS Outposts and Amazon's move into quantum computing.
