AWS re:Invent is a learning conference hosted by AWS for the global cloud-computing community. It's a popular conference (~50K attendees at re:Invent 2023), during which AWS makes several exciting announcements on launches of new services or new capabilities for existing services. Although, these service/feature launches are also announced in AWS launch blog posts, it can be difficult to keep up or get a quick summary.
In this article, I share a simple web-scraping python script that generates a list of AWS re:Invent blog post URLs (the output is stored in a HTML file) for a given year (from 2013 onwards). As long as AWS does not change the HTML document structure of these blog posts (hasn't changed for 10 years), the script's HTML parsing will work and generate the desired output.
Fetch the script (arl_posts.py) from my GitHub repository. Refer to the repository's README.md file for usage instructions. Given below are screenshots of the output for the years 2023 and 2013.
