What stops you from uploading gzip'd data to S3?

by mryan 10y ago
That is not correct. You can host a website from an S3 bucket without using CloudFront. Although of course, downloads will come directly from the S3 bucket and not from a CF edge location.

To add to this informative post: The original form of the phrase is "the king is dead, long live the king". It was used when the king died in the sense of "the [old] king is dead, long live the [new] king". So in that li

I prefer S3 and CloudFront for various reasons, and <$2/month is so close to free that it doesn't matter.

Yes, especially as you can only get support on a single instance with the $500/month developer plan. $4000/year minimum if you want support for your HA cluster. One of the items in the pricing table is "Indemnification - Limi

I do not think eradicating the concept of national sovereignty is the best solution to the problem. That would certainly decrease the happiness of a lot of people :-)

I feel that week-based streaks could be a good compromise here. You still have the ability to quickly gauge how active someone is on GH, while allowing people who care about such things to keep a streak running without sacrificing weekend t

I'm not sure what point you are making here. It does not appear to have any connection to the point I made.

Employment and production are easy to measure. Happiness, less so.

You appear to have replied to the wrong comment. ScrapingHub is not the site that attempts to crash Safari - that is weboob.

Thanks for the link - I wasn't aware of that feature in boto. I think I still would have chosen to shell out to ssh as it gives me more control over SSH options (key forwarding etc.), although I see that boto is using paramiko under th

It depends on the context. In some cases a bastion host makes sense. In others, a security group that limits SSH to a set of IPs is sufficient. I agree with the point of your comment - allowing SSH from the public internet is not a good ide

As you mentioned in the GH issue, Fabric would probably be a better tool - this isn't supposed to be a config management framework or anything in that direction. Having said that, you can do something on all matching instances with:

Very cool. Based on the other links in the thread this does indeed appear to be a popular problem to solve.
