Hi everyone! Welcome to the PagerDuty Community Weekly Update! Things are finally starting to quiet down around here for the end of the year. 
## Good News
PagerDuty was nominated for  Best End-to-End DevOps Tool/Service in the [DevOps Dozen 2022 Awards](https://devopsdozen.com/). 

[Voting](https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DevOpsDozenAwards2022) is now open! Lots of tough competition here–we’d be honored to have your vote for PagerDuty. 
## Cool Stuff
This week PagerDuty was busy at AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas! We were named a **Rising Star Partner of the Year**: {% embed https://twitter.com/pagerduty/status/1597642067383050242 %}

## Seasons Freezings
The season of code freezes are upon us, which means teams are locked out of prod and have time to explore new ideas and functionality - like automation. Follow along with us this month on [the Rundeck Twitter account](https://twitter.com/Rundeck) as we share helpful automation content and interesting things you can consider while your code is frozen. We apologize in advance for the puns and wordplay. :)
## Find us in person!
