Amazon employee here: we have released a security bulletin covering how to update to the latest patched Docker on Amazon Linux, Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, AWS Fargate, AWS IoT Greengrass, AWS Batch, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, AWS Cloud9, AWS SageM

Yeah I feel bad for Owen, but the site is pretty clearly a personal blog and not a news outlet. Just reading through samples of the articles and newsletter a lot of it is personal opinion and personal perspective. A lot of "I" in

Yeah to be clear the Fargate container hosting was always the vision for ECS, from the very first internal proposal to build this system. But its necessary to build something that keeps track of container state at scale first, and that is E

Kubernetes GPU scheduling is currently still marked as experimental: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/manage-gpus/scheduling-gpus... ECS GPU scheduling is production ready, and streamlined quite a bit on the

AWS employee here. I don't think there is anything fundamental that makes Kubernetes avoid autoscaling issues. Just like with ECS if you don't setup the right horizontal pod autoscaling settings in Kubernetes you can easily end up

AWS employee here. If you are able to achieve consistent greater than 50% utilization of your EC2 instances or have a high percentage of spot or reserved instances then ECS on EC2 is still cheaper than Fargate. If your workload is very larg

AWS employee here. Sorry to hear that you feel ECS is half baked. Feel free to reach out directly using the details in my profile info if you have any feedback you'd like me pass on to the team. To clear up the confusion on the relatio

AWS employee here. This is a feature that is currently on our public roadmap for container services, in the "Researching" category: https://github.com/aws/containers-roadmap/issues/76 Feel free to d

From what I've read so far they give you both: a VM that simulates qbits for local development, but then you can schedule a real run a physical quantum device (that's the cloud side).

I see this argument all the time but its not the fork() that is the most expensive anymore, its the actual program initialization after the fork(). If your app is non trivial (lets say a websocket based chat server that needs to persist mes

Yep, the concept of the "prototype" is very integral to JavaScript, and I think its often not understood fully. I actually like the mixin concept much more than multiple inheritance, as I find the mental model to be a bit clearer.

You can add AWS Fargate to the list as well: "Each Fargate task has it's own isolation boundary and does not share the underlying kernel, CPU resources, memory resources, or elastic network interface with another task." Offic

AWS employee here. Serverless containers are hard, and there are a lot of technical challenges along the way. For context when we launched ECS years ago the goal was always to build a serverless container platform. But first we had to build

AWS employee here: I'm going to be honest AWS Fargate isn't as easy to use as hyper.sh if you are looking for an alternative. That said our increased complexity is because Fargate is orders of magnitude more full featured for appl

As a New Yorker I really don't see why this is news at all. There are tons of businesses in NY that are cash only. I'd estimate anywhere as high as 20% of restaurants are cash only

Correct QLDB has been widely used within AWS: https://twitter.com/timbray/status/1067836869021327361 https://twitter.com/colmmacc/status/1067832198059970561

Yeah in particular I think one of the things people are really going to appreciate about QLDB is that you can query it with SQL like expressions. Instantly familiar and almost drop-in replacement for many apps vs trying to build your own Bl

AWS employee here. QLDB has been used internally at AWS for quite some time. We decided to turn our internal service into an external facing product because we saw a demand for a ledger system with central authority. Many people were trying

Accurate. As an Amazon employee living in NYC last year I paid 14k in state taxes to NY state and almost 8k in local taxes to NYC. Just on income tax alone that covers the $6k and that's not considering side effect impacts I have on ci
