I have an external garage building that I'd love to turn into a small ADU, but it's not allowed in my area. Additionally, if you look at historical cheap rentals of the past, you see things like tenement buildings, which were argu

Grandparent comment probably meant to say "no profit" instead of "no revenue". But yeah killing half of your revenue when you aren't even making profit yet is probably a bad idea.

As I work at a cloud provider I have a different perspective on the mix-ins. The problem is that at scale there is no one customer type. Some customers absolutely require a specific way of configuring things, while other customers require e

Don't get me wrong CSS isn't perfect, but it has done a really good job of scaling through difficult problems as HTML, and browsers, and user expectations have grown over the decades. The tooling and CSS frameworks have gotten rea

Author here. This is correct. I have used Pulumi and I love CDK. I think the models in Pulumi and CDK are both great, but they tend to be either too low level or too high level. For example Pulumi has a `awsx.ecs.FargateService` class that

Author of the article here. I totally agree with you on this. There are definitely tradeoffs. However I think the risk of this approach is arguably better than the risk of having every team implementing their own IaC from scratch. With the

I'm the author of the article. I actually shared a prototype towards the end of the article, of the idea implemented in CDK. I agree that you can do a lot of this already in CDK, CDKTF, and Pulumi. I just don't think most people a

So I can give some behind the scenes insight on that. I don't think image caching will be a thing in the way people are explicitly asking, but we are exploring some alternative approaches to speeding up container launch that we think w

Yeah I work on the team that builds Amazon Elastic Container Service so I can't help but compare this implementation with how we solved this same problem in ECS. Inside of an ECS task you can add multiple containers and on each contain

Saying that this is regulation / environmentalist caused is only looking at half of the picture. You could just as easily say that this is caused by greed and the desire for more profits. Wind power is extremely cheap (almost half the

It's all about layers of protection. This layer of server side encryption is designed to protect against an attack where someone breaks into an AWS data center, pulls a disk drive out of a storage system that is hosting S3 objects, and

I've been at AWS for almost 6 years now. It depends on what you mean by "internal tooling". But considering all the tooling I've used over the years at least 75% of the internal tooling that was in use when I joined is n

I'd argue that small scale apps are pretty great on AWS, because of the "always free" tier of AWS: - 1 million Lambda invokes, 3.2 million seconds of compute time - 25 GB of DynamoDB storage, 25 provisioned read and 25 provis

Parler was an example of AWS dropping a bad customer, both for TOS violations, and because of a concerted campaign to get all the major providers to drop them.

The latter. If you typed `docker ps` on your host there would be nothing showing up. The application is running inside of a micro VM. It should also be noted that containerized processes that are running on a host will still show up on the

I think this comes down to how many in the US see jobs in the general. A job working in an Amazon fulfillment center is seen by most as a kind of "stepping stone" job. Literally anyone can get the job very easily, and as a result

It's a mixed bag. From what I've seen its 50/50. Sometimes Terraform providers are way behind, and sometimes they are ahead. Additionally, the low level providers which are easiest to keep up to date don't really abstrac
