I had a birth certificate, my parents thought it would be potentially helpful for me (this was also almost 40 years ago so a lot of these extra compliance requirements didn’t exist back then). We were concerned that my kids would also poten

And yet, this was still the largest ever test. Perhaps it paves way for bigger ones in the future?

Lots of people have spare phones sitting around with really nice camera setups. https://reincubate.com/camo/ is a pretty cool way to use those for a quick upgrade to your camera setup.

It runs on top of Fargate, and adds things like: * Build / deploy pipeline * Build from source (python / node) without having to provide a docker container * Load balancing * Custom domains

Depends on the amount of activity as well. If you have an idle app you're only paying the provisioned memory costs ($10/m is the rough minimum for a small app without traffic).

I think this provides the IAM role needed (if you wanted to create it yourself): https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apprunner/latest/dg/security-iam... I assume they'll also fix the bug with creating a role thr

No, that would be EKS. This is closer to a container-based Heroku, or Elastic Beanstalk V2.
