One of my old budgets, but there are a ton of blogs out there about it that are easily found via search engine.

Preach on! The only way I've really been able to understand it well is by writing code that uses boto and seeing what errors out lol. I've found some really interesting bugs/inconsistencies too. Nothing horrible but its def u

That probably will eventually be what most people do if they keep running into this.

No, with failover capacity it'd only be 4x and its def not assuming 100% utilization. Sadly, its not crazy high.

Yeah, absolutely right. However most people do not do this.

Looks like someone from Elasticsearch picked this up and tweeted about it too. I suspect one way or another this could get Amazon to pay attention... https://twitter.com/kimchy/status/1182745675617824768

Did they ever give you an explanation as to why it happened?

Even if it is, people still use it. Flaws don't make something unusable, you just have to know your limitations and work within them. MySQL has come a very long way for something so initially flawed.

#accurate I've seen this happen a lot. Basically it continues til it starts to eat the company and they struggle to reign it in. I did some work at $company, they were basically profitable if not for their 7 figure AWS bill. I handed t

> The workaround AWS support proposed was to reserve 2x capacity so we wouldn't run into this issue on subsequent deploys. Thats pretty lame of them to make you pay them more money instead of functioning properly.

Most people using the cloud aren't really that cost concious. EC2 is about 8x the cost of bare metal... If you factor in operational cost AWS can be cheaper but often isn't really.

Its been this bad for a while, I think its just a stalled project inside of AWS or the people who work on it think it functions as designed...

Sure but there's a reason that development has moved off of Perl.

Heh yeah, totally. The only Perl I use these days is oooooooold software (MRTG) I guess with the exception of Spam Assassin and RT...

Perl5 -> Perl6 has been highly contentious. Perl6 is basically a different language much to the chagrin of many Perl users. A lot of Perl users are entrenched in Perl5. FWIW: I'm unclear why people continue to use Perl at all, I mov

I've been following this issue for quite some time and I totally agree with the author. I've had a lot of odd issues with AWS's productized Elasticsearch, enough that I gave up on it entirely.

I hate to tell you this but I worked with a lot of anti-communist and anti-censorship efforts in the early 2000s. The Chinese Government intelligence agencies are quite adept at using social media. People were "disappeared" with f

Honestly, HN is pretty good for this. You might check out Openland too.

I used Solaris/X86 with 1TB+ RAID arrays back in 99/2000. I'm going to guess you had a wierd driver issue, hardware was fairly janky back then...

In 1999 the SGI was much more stable, but most people still turned their desktops on/off every day :)

MIPS is almost literally everywhere, its in most IoT devices... NetBSD for Sparc has existed since 1993 or so. OpenSPARC has existed since 2005 and multiple operating systems have run on Sparc since the 90s. Linux gained adoption the same w

This is why DLP and access controls are so important. Its a total noob mistake, especially for a security company.

Reinventing TCP over UDP is sortof silly, I hope they have a better reason than "they don't want to upstream our changes" lol.

Its a pretty technical post, I'm guessing its intended audience knows what the BPF is?
