Hmmm. My Mastodon server started incurring data transfer costs on April 24. It looks like it exceeded AWS' free tier data transfer for the month... but only shows data transfers totaling 415 GB, in+out. The free tier data transfer is 1 TB. What's going on here?
(It's not going to break the bank, but if there's a way to optimize this I'd love to give it a shot.) #AWS#MastoAdmin
#introduction toot to get things moving.
I’m a #trans mom working in #tech since I was 17 and do a whole lot of #rollerskate#dance in my spare time and love teaching it. If you’re in #Europe and go to the jams we may have met as I try to hit all the big ones.
I’ve worked on #AWS for so long it is my specialty and every new service just looks like several other services bundled together and it's rare I meet anyone using it well.
Also I’m so sick of working in tech and look forward to escaping into the forest.
A good #AWS and #Amazon results analysis. Cost optimization across the customer base is slowing AWS growth. That’s what I’m seeing as well. Most of the cloud deployments I’ve seen can be optimized a lot. My usual rule of thumb is that you can save 30% in a month, and 50-70% over a year for the same workload, by cleaning up, auto scaling, etc. https://www.nextplatform.com/2023/04/28/of-course-aws-revenues-are-slowing-and-profits-are-pinched/
A late-to-market strategy for higher-level offerings at #aws might've seemed wise initially...
UX/DX products don't have much of an IP "moat" -- AWS can take a wait-and-see approach and then steal market share with a cheap, tightly-integrated clone
high-level products create drag, org overhead
top-of-the-stack has more risk & churn, and product mistakes are expensive for AWS because they don't deprecate anything
What do you mean I can't use em-dash in my IAM Role Description? What kind of ham-headed skullbuggery — if you'll pardon my fictionalized colloquialisms — puts that kind of limit in what is ostensibly a field containing descriptive text?
@randomgeek#Unicode was first published three years before #Amazon’s founding and eleven years before #AWS’ debut. I’d say the latter should catch up but apparently they never made it to the starting line.
@kusuriya@randomgeek#Perl has handled #Unicode since v5.6 released in 2000. #AWS debuted two years after. Heck, Bezos had only been working out of his garage for three months when #Perl5 was released. What the hell is their excuse for using #Perl4?
my coworker is getting a kubernetes error, connection refused to 6443 but it's intermittent. it works fine and then suddenly it's nonstop connection refused. He created a control plane and a node and it connects but then it refuses connection. We've tried everything, there's no firewall, he ran init, not sure what else to check here. He's doing the trial aws $5 thing I believe.
Any ideas? I've never used kubernetes so I have no clue.
I’m having an unreasonably good geeky time at work today. Using nginx to dynamically rewrite a web page via query parameters and publishing the whole thing into AWS Fargate in order to tie two other technologies together at the client side. This is the sort of thing I never got to do at my old job.
@passthejoe in 99% of the cases (even though I haven't had more than 20 cases probably) where I thought #aws was it fault it was actually me... what's not working?
reading this gem and reminded how rare it is for software systems to design with limits in mind… we like to SAY 'engineering' but often folks are chucking darts hoping for the best
this is a big reason I like #aws services: limits are a big part of how you design a software architecture. daresay: engineer!
I dunno if it's related or coincidental but my 2FA was completely GONE from my amazon account. As if it was never turned on. AND when i tried to log into #AWS it a) didn't accept my MFA token b) when i got in via the backup measure it was like "new user who dis?" still had my S3 buckets but won't let me change any security stuff because it goes to a "new user... wait <=24hrs"
I dont ask it to write whole functions, but it does smart code completion for me, and it is rather good at string based message completion just like this one.
Hi .NET developers! If you are based in EMEA and curious about building & deploying .NET applications on AWS, join us at the .NET Enterprise Developer Day EMEA on April 25th!
It is a huge opportunity to meet the people who take care of .NET on AWS!
