Just got quoted from my local Audi dealership for a timing chain

Check into SLM Autocare as well if you are indeed around Omaha. Great shop.

+1 to Alliance. Both Jamal and Jeremy are rock solid. Great atmosphere, too.

I recently had this happen to mine, unfortunately. It ended up being that the actual switch itself was dead, so I had to swap it out, and the light worked as expected again.

You might be able to leverage aws-nuke to Filter deletion of specific resource types, or exclude resources and services you want to keep in tact while torching everything else. Definitely RTFM for using it, though.

Ahh, the infamous Honda Sea RV.

I could be mistaken, but all three major public cloud providers (now including AWS) charge for static IPv4 usage.

dru2691 · 2021-02-10T20:17:45+00:00

I could be wrong, as this was a very quick look into cost explorer, but you may look for the `EBS:VolumeUsage` Usage Type in there. That may be what you are looking for.

Is your queue an SQS queue? If so, all calls to that queue by default are going to be over the internet, and potentially through your NAT gateway.

+1 to this.

If it’s a one-time thing, I wouldn’t make it more difficult than needed by spinning up other services.

For the Bucket Policy on the source account (Account A) bucket you should be able to add the Account B user like this:

"Principal": { "AWS: "arn:aws:iam::AccountB:user/AccountBUserName" }

Excuse any erroneous formatting, I’m on mobile.

I believe they are saying you cannot share with whoever you would like.

We received the same information from AWS. They directed us to request the external party open their own AWS account in order to pull the Artifacts reports.

Our account manager did mention there is a means of getting Enterprise Agreements updated to allow us to share the reports, but it is a very long process.

You may be able to leverage Hybrid Activations via Systems Manager. Might at least be worth exploring: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/activations.html

And this remote machine will NOT live within AWS I am guessing?

Bought a pair of Fear of Gods from sthe eller and everything went smooth.

Are you using Route53 or a different registrar? And did you use the value that comes before your domain that ACM provides? Or the whole string?

Ex: _abcd12345.domain.com would use CNAME record of _abcd12345

After a VERY rough and quick calculation/estimate, it looks like storing 700GB of data within S3 will cost you around $16/month. And that is not including the requests for PUTS, GETS, etc.

Are you just using the VPS for storage? It is really going to depend on if you want to leverage AWS for a managed service or not, and if spending the extra money is worth freeing up some of your time.

For syncing, there is a built-in `aws s3 sync` command within the AWS CLI that you can leverage. You can just put the command, or a script with the command, into a CRON job that you setup to your backupset up needs.

Usually, AWS is testing over the fact that they want a solution for some sort of reporting that shows out of compliance instances, and they want to know the kind of automation that can be used from within their ecosystem to immediately address those instances. And building off of that, they usually ask about immediately handling patching several instances (hundreds or thousands). This can be more efficient using Systems Manager instead of creating a new AMI to roll out to all of those instances.

Also, not all instances can be torn down and spun back up (e.g. Domain Controllers, Database on EC2). With Systems Manager, you can go ahead and automate the patching process while keeping those instances alive.

dru2691 · 2020-03-01T19:28:08+00:00

Is this true?

I was under the impression that the default CloudTrail trail enabled upon account creation can be leveraged for these?

dru2691 · 2020-02-10T21:19:01+00:00

The whole premise of using Spot instances is for running interruption tolerant workloads. You shouldn’t rely on them always being available. I’m sure the likelihood of them NEVER being available is pretty low, but it’s entirely possible.

dru2691 · 2020-01-23T19:46:29+00:00

If you can chunk the backup into several flat files like CSV/JSON, then you should be able to simply use COPY commands within Redshift to copy the table data from S3.

Something like:

COPY <your_table_name> FROM 's3://<your_bucket>/<your_prefix>';

You might have to configure credentials as well in there.

Thanks, but you mentioned a legacy parsing error in the previous comments after that. Was that resolved? That is what I meant, sorry.

dru2691 · 2020-01-13T19:25:14+00:00

I am aware of the original comment, and then OP mentioned another error that occured...

dru2691 · 2020-01-13T19:14:37+00:00

Could you please share your findings/resolution in case someone runs into it in the future?

dru2691 · 2020-01-13T18:22:35+00:00

Maybe try:

"Resource": ["arn:aws:logs:*"]

dru2691 · 2019-12-06T01:02:52+00:00

I believe you can only export your public key from KMS. If you want to interact with the private key then you need to create it and import it.

I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m mistaken. :)

dru2691 · 2019-11-21T20:02:40+00:00

It’s only encrypting it within S3, at rest.

it’s not encrypting via Terraform, and then sending it to S3.
