If you find yourself constantly reinventing the wheel when AWS offers a managed service that handles that for you, it might be time to switch to AWS. Some examples might be: writing a complicated postgres backup solution instead of using RD

For what it's worth, I got the same "account integrity" explanation. Until proven otherwise I'm assuming that's the same canned response they always give. I did not use a proxy or a VPN, and I did not use an anonymo

As I understand it, a camping site could be listed on Airbnb without any access to a bathroom or running water. If this is properly communicated before booking, I don't have a problem with it. In this case the property normally has hot
