My own plan: shield them until they are old enough to understand the concepts of trust and respect.. then pull back the safety net, but maintain quiet vigilance (like montoring (read only) the dns queries or system logs, and maybe keep acce

Probably lost in all the replies but use can use AWS SAM start-local[1] to run a lambda locally. There's also a docker container to mock dynamodb locally. When I'm just working logic... Unit tests are best, but you could also keep

I certainly didn't mean to suggest we do everything internally... Just that we have some meaningful production capability at home.

Seems to be the trend in america... Tax breaks and subsidies for big corporations, with no consideration for what the impact will be in 10-30 years... Until we, as a nation, can get past this pattern we will never improve our climate/w

Typically websites make agreements that advertisement networks will pay for the clicks.. if that website did so with the intention of "gaming the system", then they are in breech of contact, and typically there's a law somewh

I would agree.... modern unions are almost a joke (rug color doesn't match what we agreed on, so back to negotiations!)... or police unions, where officers with significantly questionable backgrounds are re-hired... But against amazon,

From the letter AWS sent, a better analogy would be: Craft store noticed their brand logo was on a poster board with messages calling for rape and execution of named individuals (a clearly illegal act). Craft store said in their sale recipt

I think 4k is a stretch on a laptop screen. I think 2k would fit better, require less powerful graphics card, and conserve battery power.

GPS in cities can be hit and miss. Also means more expensive/new devices. Lat/long would give you a good idea of the 3-9 most likely roads involved, but it won't necessarily prove which road exactly... so humans would still n

I love AWS, but they've been struggling lately (probably understandable with increased unexpected load this year?). Not going into details to keep on topic, but every time it's green status. Rarely any acknowledgement of problems

I used to love Ansible/TF control of Infrastructure., But honestly, after 2 years of Ansible, we considered switching to TF, but ended up with SAM (an AWS deploy tool on top of cloud formation) The only benefit I saw with Ansible/

VC is a bad comparison ... Maybe VC with the intent to sell all ownership to the first person that offers them a 20% ROI... Netflix wants to bring in NEW customers... Existing customers are unlikely to unsubscribe, but getting new customers

Once you're a customer, your less likely to leave. So the goal is too attract new customers.. which is best done by the new hot show, not season 2 of the last hot show. So little incentive to renew

I agree with this counterview. I manage a small dev team, I've found many inexperienced developers are less willing to admit an issue in understanding a tasks requirements (or how to complete a task) during a zoom call, especially when

How do you feel about "employee parking" being an extra minute or two away? That time adds up to... And it's virtually the same thing -- ”company policy mandatees you ___"... I agree with everything you're staying,

My average wait time was less than a minute.. though on a few years days i'd wait 5 minutes or more. I don't disagree with you... Just curious where people think the line is drawn. I personally look at this from the other side --

At $4/month you can get a server from anyone for 700+ hours of CICD .. this doesn't sound like a great deal to me unless you're CICD can't exist without ~2gb/ram and the cpu limits... Or unless GitLab runners have 1

Like many people, I worked retail. I never got angry at the security guy trying to let me out the door, but it was frustrating to wait 5 minutes here and there unpaid. I agree that people should be paid for that time.. but I'm also cur

That's the root of my complaint... This effectively means IAM cannot limit creation events by tag because it's two steps. Only solution is two steps

EC2, last I checked, does not allow tag conditionals at instance creation. You can have tag controls afterwards, but the instance creation call does not support tagging (the GUI masks this)
385.
by ldoughty 6y ago
That is access control when tags exist... You can't, for example, deny an EC2 instance creation of it is NOT tagged with Key X. The recommendation is to watch cloud trail and post-creation, terminate it. Creation events for EC2 do. It

I really dislike that the solutions for AWS tag shortcomings is custom code. I'm a big AWS fan and heavy user for 5 years now, but it seems silly to me that you need to write a custom wrapper (e.g. force the creation through a managed

Took us 10 minutes or so as well. The testing + container build + ECS deploy. We shaved about 3-6 minutes off deploy by going to Lambda... Could shave another 1-2 minutes if we drop docker entirely, but we still build docker containers to r

Some steps I take to mitigate: 1) put ec2 servers I can't properly IAM lock down in dedicated accounts separated from all other things 2) don't let users create the things.. let users take actions that result in what they want by
