AWS for Kids
- pcurve 10y agoThis is dark comedy from Amazon. I like it. Not campy. Pornhub apparently had a real good April Fools too. Well done. n/m. Doesn't look like it's done by amazon.
- late2part 10y agoIt's missing baby's first fake dashboard.
- matt4077 10y agoIt's... actually right in there? Although not being Amazon's creation kinda diminishes it.
- late2part 10y agoNot From. About Amazon. Apparently from Kyle Conroy. Perhaps https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyle-conroy-19a07273/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyle-conroy-19a07273/ ?

- kevinburke 10y agoKyle did the images and I wrote the copy. (Neither of us work at AWS)
- conroy 10y agoI also bought the domain and made sure the favicon was right. You can't sweat the small stuff.
- kevinburke 10y agoAh, sorry, I was too busy teaching my large sons that 2000 connections to a Postgres RDS database is way too many
- late2part 10y agoYou could do it with a machine with 8 cores but that's crazy huge, much better to shard with t2.micro
- matt4077 10y agoAnd I was just about to commend them for their willingness to be a bit snarky :(

- Dangeranger 10y agoThis is beautiful, if a bit close to the bone. > "The AWS poster has led to healthy conversations with my child, especially how to show the green checkmark even when things are not going so well." - Manager
- sundvor 10y agoNice. It's almost enough to bring (laughing) tears to my eyes.
- aerovistae 10y agoRisky to copyright it to Amazon at the bottom when it's not actually them....begging for a lawyer's call. Hilarious, though. > "My child was a huge fuck up but with the help of the AWS poster they're well on their way to a successful life of getting paged at 3AM because the web team can't write a stable service." - Parent at YC Company
- kevinburke 10y agoWe are tremendously brave
- late2part 10y agoAnd understand lock tight affirmative defenses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use
- smitherfield 10y agoNot for false attribution of authorship.
- cyberferret 10y agoLOL, though the services selection screen on the dashboard has changed to a monochromatic one now, with line icons and all services categorised by operational type. The depicted poster is the older AWS dashboard, no?
- late2part 10y agoI bet you could sell a few hundred $40 fancy printed posters.
- cocktailpeanuts 10y ago> "If your kids don't start learning the AWS Dashboard now, they'll be in your basement until they are 35." Mastering even one of AWS services is mission impossible, due to their awesome, so-easy-to-understand, state of the art documentation. I think we can all go back to our parent's basement.
- jonursenbach 10y agoTheir documentation is always so up-to-date, and easy to discover too! I've never once searched for something, only to stumble onto a page of docs that's 3 years old and no longer relevant. Nope!
- smitherfield 10y agoTBF, AWS documentation is way better than 95% of open-source projects.
- BHSPitMonkey 10y agoAnd infinitely more expensive
- jonursenbach 10y agoAt least with open source projects you can dig into the code for yourself and see WTF you need to do.
- mastre_ 10y agoThey take the most direct way of explaining things too, instead of always going in a roundabout way. Their design decisions do not leave anything to be desired and you're never left scratching your head as to why anyone would ever build something this way especially when there are dozens, dozens of people asking for it to work the way any sane human being would think it should work. Great for kids!
- hoodoof 10y agoAWS is sophisticated and comprehensive, and I think the documentation is excellent. IAM is perhaps the hardest area to get your head around but everything else I've use is very well documented.
- opensports 10y agoI thought I was sick of April Fools' Day jokes, but you got me laughing. TY
- sundvor 10y agoAgree, really funny. Especially the "Parent at YC company" quote. I'm on AEDST, was paying attention yesterday but I missed a beat when I saw this today (April 2nd). These things are really stretching out.
- qeternity 10y ago> root@s1:~$ host 54.235.210.130 > 130.210.235.54.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer ec2-54-235-210-130.compute-1.amazonaws.com. Nice.
- hoodoof 10y agoThe irony is that something like this is probably coming one day - it seems that many April Fools jokes are only a step away from reality. What better way to get kids hooked on AWS early than to make it free for high school kids?
- BoorishBears 10y agoThey're already ahead of you: https://education.github.com/pack https://education.github.com/pack
- eat_veggies 10y agoAs a high school kid, I'm hooked on digital ocean and azure because the github student pack gives me free credits ($25 a month on azure as long as I'm a student, and $50 credit on DO, which works out to be 10 free months on their $5 option). AWS is probably too late in that regard.

- zer00eyz 10y agoI want one of these for ME... It makes me ill every time I look at the thing.
- zitterbewegung 10y agoI know this is a joke but it would be interesting for AWS to introduce learning material targeted at high schoolers (setup a Minecraft server).
- iamsmooney 10y agoI'm getting 404s on all but the home page. Part of the joke?
- sillysaurus3 10y agoHmm, works for me. I just ordered one. The price is pretty reasonable. Maybe try emailing support?
- kevinburke 10y agoMust be nap time at daycare
- glibgil 10y ago> Happy Dads Kevin and Kyle, really??? p.s. Fuck you for your tiny brigade of down votes
- hobarrera 10y agoYou can tell it's fake because the error pages are JSON rather than XML.
- deleted 10y ago[deleted]
- FVIIIvWF 10y agoI'm confused with the AWS service names. I'll be jealous of my kids start learning about these names so early on.
