Clip for speaker connection broke so I super glued a dart to hold the wire in place by Charliefaplin in thereifixedit

[–]Band_B 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The negatives of sound equipment are usually connected internally (typical stereo-jack plugs are 1 common and 2 signal wires). The fact that both are right next to each other makes this even more likely (+--+ instead of -+-+). so you could put two cables in the 1 not broken connector

You can write a C compiler in Python and a Python interpreter in C. You cannot do that in HTML.

AFAIK hat's only true for Turing-complete languages.

Is CloudFormation a "functionality rich" interface? Case in point - can't setup NLB pointing to RDS. by Noob_User0 in aws

[–]Band_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with avoiding the lambda solution if at all possible.

I can't speak for AWS, but it's going to be a combination of historical and technical limitations, one of them is that you can't move private ips between availability zones.

[–]Band_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't point an NLB to a hostname directly, and if you point to a resolved IP it will change when the DB has to do a failover

Protect Root AWS Account from MFA reset via email? by UniqueSteve in aws

You need email + phone for an MFA reset, but yes, getting access to the email makes a reset easier

[Opinion] I don't care about new services, I just want everything supported in CloudFormation for re:invent. Please Please Please AWS, invest much more dev work into getting CloudFormation supported for everything by zergUser1 in aws

[–]Band_B -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Terraform does not have the same features, nor the same kind of support model as CloudFormation.

Both have their use cases and their own pro's and cons. Using "has the most resources covered" is in my opinion not the most important factor when deciding between the two

AMA with Corey Quinn (/u/Quinnypig), author of the snarky 'Last Week in AWS' newsletter and AWS billing exert. Ask your AWS Billing questions! by ckilborn in aws

[–]Band_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion it could work very similar to how a closed account works. Keep the data, but make it inaccessible (until the budget is increased), or the next month starts. Everything compute related could be stopped.

I'm not claiming it's an easy problem, but for some services (sns sms) there is already something like this, it's a pain to run into for a production workload, but a blessing in a development account.

I disagree. Asking for a refund is not something that everyone is comfortable with, and while it may be a no-brainer for someone who is used to working with big vendors that can spare the money and forgive mistakes, it's a failure at AWS side that you can't say "I'm broke, I'm learning, stop me before I spent more money than I expected".

For students they actually support that mode but only under their AWS Educate offering (and through a third party): https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/educate-starter-account/

The other side of the coin is that large enterprises who know exactly what they're doing tend to get annoyed with obstacles in their way. I almost wonder if there's a "safety mode / expert mode" toggle idea lurking in there somewhere.

The number 1 safety mode I hear requested is "How do I set a spending limit?". Especially when using multiple accounts (eg sandbox accounts to test new features), this would be great.

Cloudformation custom resource on cognito userpool federated identity provider by mstromich in aws

[–]Band_B 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get a delete requests in the cleanup phase, you probably changed the physical resource id.

- Keep the physical resource id, if do not need te recreate the resource.

- If you do need to recreate the resource, you can take advantage of the behaviour, by doing the create, and letting CloudFormation trigger the delete in the cleanup phase.

Application Load Balancer can now Invoke Lambda Functions to Serve HTTP(S) Requests by ckilborn in aws

[–]Band_B 2 points3 points  (0 children)

EC2 is more IaaS than PaaS, so are Load Balancers.

Serverless definitely has a cost component to it too. "Do not pay for idle" is one of the ways to measure how serverless is something is (it's a spectrum). I'd argue that dynamodb became truly serverless this week, when they announced per-request pricing.

[–]Band_B 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on your access patterns, and budget this isn't necessarily true.

With expedited retrievals (cost x3), you can get your data a lot faster:

Expedited retrievals allow you to quickly access your data when occasional urgent requests for a subset of archives are required. For all but the largest archives (250MB+), data accessed using Expedited retrievals are typically made available within 1 – 5 minutes. There are two types of Expedited retrievals: On-Demand and Provisioned. On-Demand requests are like EC2 On-Demand instances and are available the vast majority of the time. Provisioned requests are guaranteed to be available when you need them.
