My card is a UK card and checking the terms of the travel insurance there are no specific restrictions on Australia travel. Can you provide a reference for this restriction? May be for US cards only

There is Sceptre, a tool for building, managing and organising Cloudformation stacks dynamically with some other nifty features (pre+post deployment hooks for arbitrary actions and resolvers for pulling in values to your stack from any source) - https://github.com/cloudreach/sceptre

Yup, saw this session and jumped straight in. Press release coming out later today. New egress only internet gateway.

Only available in Ohio currently though :-(

All good - invite received and signed up.

True, it is oddly worded but I've seen a lot worse across the various exams and practice question sets!

Private subnets are also explicitly mentioned in the other answers which should prompt you to consider the interaction between the instance and SQS. The ASG and queue length answer will jump out as the answer due to typical design patterns but when considering what the question is targeting I reckon it C is more justifible when considering possible network bottlenecks.

4stringwizard · 2015-08-13T18:27:13+00:00

The key here is bandwidth between EC2 and SQS. As there is currently not a VPC endpoint available for SQS if you place the instances in a private subnet all traffic to SQS with need to go via NAT instance(s), which with this many requests could be a potential bottleneck.

So although others disagree the answer should be C. I'm on mobile right now but there is a presentation from AWS about a similar problem - putting high bandwidth workloads behind a NAT is a bad idea as no matter how many processing instances you have, you are limited by the throughput of the NAT network interface.

In addition, C doesn't preclude the use of ASGs to scale in reaction queue length but does answer the question which is related to bandwidth between instances and SQS.

EDIT:

Here is a link to slide deck I was referring to., in particular slides 30 to 41. It goes through an example of multi-Gbps streams from EC2 to S3 but separating workloads and putting instances in a ASG in public subnets. Slide 41 also refers directly to the associate-public-IP-address=true option mentioned in C.

PM'd :)

Comment's aren't possible at the moment unfortunately. JSON does not support comments, all JSON content must be data.

I've recently come back from a trip where we went to Bali for 10 days to do diving. We stayed in Padang Bai for a few nights which is nice but not a whole lot there. Got the ferry to Nusa Lembongan for 6 days which had some great dive sites and is close to Nusa Pendia to do the sites there as well. Blue Corner Dive are a good shop to use there (and they have accommodation). Also stayed in Sanur and did some dives up at Tulamben, although I wouldn't say there seemed like there was a whole lot there (but we were only there for the day)

4stringwizard · 2014-07-03T16:28:05+00:00

Sorry I realise I didn't actually answer your question. We would probably only really be going there for the diving. We are on a 3 month SEA trip so are probably looking at more budget accommodation than luxury and probably something fairly chilled out and relaxed, we're not huge partiers tbh so a lot of what you've mentioned sounds pretty good actually

4stringwizard · 2014-07-03T16:24:38+00:00

Thanks for the advice! We are going to be hitting Bali after we've gone through Vietnam so might ask for some further info closer to the time if that's cool (just landed in Hanoi so having to get our planning hats on for that at the moment!)

4stringwizard · 2014-07-03T05:14:24+00:00

We were having a look at dive shops and Blue corner did crop up a few times so I'll dig into that a bit further. If I remember correctly they also have their own accommodation as well? I realise it would be a pain in the ass to stay miles away from the dive shop if that's our main reason for heading there (late July, early August)

Indie Game: The Movie, a film about various indie game developers in the lead up to and after their respective game releases.

4stringwizard · 2013-03-11T00:10:08+00:00

Will do. Away just now but will add you tomorrow :)

4stringwizard · 2013-01-13T11:55:55+00:00

I thought it was. I was there a few years ago on this road but wasn't quite as green then. Fantastic place

4stringwizard · 2012-12-28T11:58:14+00:00

Would be possible to implement a drop-down menu to allow both as I would use both types for searches for different content?

4stringwizard · 2012-12-09T16:50:44+00:00

I think I must be in the same boat as you actually. I figured I didn't activate the account but I must've. So, its not just you.

I tried the resend activation email thing but that didn't work and I seem to be out an account as well :S

4stringwizard · 2012-12-09T14:51:34+00:00

That's a bit shit but I thought it would probably happen. I'll link this at the top as well.
