⚠️ A major risk when using customer-managed KMS keys is that someone deletes the key, and thus, all data is encrypted with the key. How to mitigate the risk?

1️⃣ AWS does not allow to delete keys immediately but enforces a waiting period of 7 to 30 days.
2️⃣ Customers use key policies, IAM policies, or SCPs to restrict access to the kms:ScheduleKeyDeletion action.

But there is another risk of losing access to a key: modifying the key policy. (1/2)

Moin, kennt jemand aus der Fahrrad-Bubble eine hochwertige Alternative zum minderwertigen #Thule-Schloss? Unseres hat ca. 2 Jahre gehalten, bis der Kunststoff an der vermuteten Sollbruchstelle riss. #Obsoleszenz @fedibikes

If you work at Amazon and are expected to be on-call, a reminder to do as your CEO says and head to the office before you start working on whatever incident or outage is happening at whatever time of day, no matter how long that may take - it’s where you’ll do your best work after all.

HashiCorp adopting the Business Source License 1.1 is a nightmare. Building products based on Terraform is no longer a safe bet as the license says:

„You may make production use of the Licensed Work, provided such use does not include offering the Licensed Work to third parties on a hosted or embedded basis which is competitive with HashiCorp's products.“

But what if HashiCorp enters a new market tomorrow and you are now competing with their offering? 🤯

Pro tip: replace your AWS support subscription with a ChatGPT subscription. You will get wrong answers from both, but ChatGPT is a lot faster and cheaper. 🙈

current conundrum: buy fair trade / organic / sustainable underwear that lasts me ~12 months or buy other random shit that lasts much longer.
