I certainly would like the "don't book me over $X" option, but the devil is in the details. Perhaps just turning off where's would help, but if you account is compromised and 50 servers are running trying to mine crypto,

Setting up billing alarms is easy for personal accounts, it's actually only a nightmare if you go through a reseller (which is common in government contacting). The author had an incident starting June 23rd, but didn't know about

Adding my own story to the article... I get where they are coming from... I had to deal with the Facebook developer platform support recently, it was (still is) a nightmare... We only have 100 or so Facebook users, but dealing with their a

I don't consider myself a docker fanboy, but between bare metal, VMs, and docker... I think docker works better than most solutions thus far primarily because developers can run and test their code locally... But as you move more towar

Not to mention it's a massive pain to use elastic search with serverless... Especially if you want it in a private VPC. Adding ES raised our monthly bill significantly since it required also adding a NAT gateway (which then double-dips

I think you quoted the entirety of the article that addresses national security... The other 95% of the article was recap of what every article says about the incident, or otherwise not related to national security... I was excited to read

This looks like another "Twitter was hacked" articles... There's virtually nothing about the article about national security... Disappointing. Here's a national security concern: a president announced he's going to

The political parties are trying this into a "war". They want divisiveness. They want people to view this as a win-or-lose situation. It brings in lots of money, and helps push for their party's voters to mobilize and go vote

I manage a lot of ec2 instances on dozens of AWS accounts... I can't see a reason to use this particular method... Even if you want to spin up bastion on demand like this, why Fargate, why terraform? In the simplest form, I'd go w

I believe the argument is against claiming ALL tracking is bad.

Depends how we do it. What if the infrastructure was government owned but you bought service through a reseller. This is the US cell phone model for many carriers. Also old school AOL / dial-up style. Perhaps your reseller provides you

Application load balancing is VERY expensive compared to other solutions on the low end. Minimum ALB price is $16/month. The trade off with API Gateway is around 5 million requests (I wrote an article on it: https://ldoughty
