Every autumn, millions head to Munich for Oktoberfest. But you don't need to be in Munich to get into the spirit. One of our teammates in Berlin is making a pretty convincing case. We love when our teams in Germany (and beyond) bring their traditions to work, filling the office with warmth, gemütlichkeit, and maybe a few more pretzels. 🥨

Defense and public sector customers need to move fast, and the security requirements they work under are rigorous. Meeting both is the job. Today Amazon Web Services (AWS) became the first cloud provider approved for NATO RESTRICTED workloads across every NATO member nation. Allies and defense industry partners now have a common assessed baseline to build from, instead of each nation working through much of the same evaluation independently. Allied nations can now spend less time on redundant assessments and more time on the actual mission. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eNbKG8W3

There's something deeply satisfying about watching raw materials transform into something you recognize. 📦 At Amazon, we use machine learning to design right-sized packaging for every order, and we've avoided 5.4 million metric tons of packaging materials since 2015. Every box is made to be recyclable. From the roll to your doorstep, our teams are constantly innovating to reduce waste while protecting what's inside. Less material. Less waste. Same safe delivery.

Amazon has been helping with disaster relief since 2017, using our logistics expertise and assets – planes, trucks, delivery vans – to bring much needed supplies to communities hit by wildfires, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and so on. The team has been working to expand those capabilities to bring technology to communities because we’ve learned that just as much as water and diapers, communities need power and connectivity. We've built a handful of solutions that we can now bring in when disaster strikes so that our communities can communicate with family and loved ones, insurance companies, employers, relief services, etc. With the technology built, we wanted to test it out—to see how any Amazon employee (in this case, yours truly) could lend a hand – with the help of other first responders in the area – to get power and connectivity up for our communities. Big thank you to our Disaster Relief team and all the local and national groups we worked with – I learned a ton and met some great people.
