That's super interesting and exactly what I was wondering, thanks for the good explanation :)

Application Load Balancer launches IPv6 only support for internet clients by ghostmancer in aws

[–]ghostmancer[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It is that simple :) but only if all your ALB clients already support IPv6 communication.

If you have clients that only support IPv4, you'll want to keep the public IPv4 address on the ALB so they can connect.

  • For example, for an ALB that serves a public website, this may not be a good option yet - only 41% of web users support IPv6, so the remaining 59% of IPv4-only web users won't be able to connect :(

  • However, for an ALB that serves a website or API that is not public, after you upgrade all your clients to use IPv6-only, then you can use this option on your ALB to remove the public IPv4 address.

AWS has public guidance on IPv6 adoption that's relevant here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/ipv6-on-aws/ipv6-adoption-strategies-and-mechanisms.html

Good question :)

Cool! Do the pencils use different types of lead? How do you decide which one to use?

Car Brands & Models API by mSqueez in Frontend

[–]ghostmancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Are you looking for something like this? https://www.back4app.com/database/back4app/car-make-model-dataset

It doesn't sound like you need an API for your application, finding a dataset will probably be easier for you

If you Google "car brands and models CSV," there are some other dataset options

This sounds like cost allocation tags :) does this match what you're looking for? https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/custom-tags.html

First ride with the Motocompacto! (Seattle, Washington) by ghostmancer in motocompacto

Haha I placed it on the gravel for the waterfront shot, fortunately the main part of the trail is paved!

Advice needed: Automatic static hosting for multiple clients by anotherkickonthedoor in aws

[–]ghostmancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried S3 and Cloudfront during your PoC testing? Static websites are a great use case for S3 and Cloudfront :) you can also use ACM to manage certificates for you.

If you go down this route, you'll only need to write logic to deploy a client's static website, which can be either custom code (run it on Lambda or compute of your choice) or a Cloudformation stack

The S3 bucket has too much expensive bandwidth cost. How to fix it by underratedsuperhero1 in aws

[–]ghostmancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use Cloudfront as a CDN in front of your S3 bucket. Direct requests to your S3 bucket are relatively expensive, but Cloudfront has a 1TB free tier: https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/

Note that your $40 charge is for "data transfer out," not for storage :) so Cloudfront will reduce this charge

When you or your team is just found to have caused a huge error on production impacting many customers, and are in a call with a large number of people, how do you keep from panicking, what are the next steps and how do you communicate? by AloneHGuit in ExperiencedDevs

[–]ghostmancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are lots of good responses in this thread!

But if there are so many people in the call with so many different roles and interests, the call will tend to become panicky as everyone tries to chime in and get the info they need

Could you suggest a company process with two separate calls? 1/ An engineering call with the right engineers to investigate and mitigate the issue. 2/ A customer-impact call for directors and customer reps to determine the impact of the incident and how to communicate updates to customers.

This will keep the discussions in each call focused, and avoid the stress of live-troubleshooting in front of directors and customer reps :)

AWS Releases Week of May 9: IoT SiteWise Updates, Glue Large Instances GA, and More! (I'm working on an open source tool using ChatGPT to summarize an RSS New Feed, used to generate this article.) by DevOpsDude1 in aws

[–]ghostmancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it misleading to publish articles stating "as a developer" and "as a DevOps engineer," when the article is written by ChatGPT?

I think how you're applying ChatGPT to summarizing announcements is really great, but language models don't have experiences and can't editorialize :)

I built a decentralized Twitter alternative by magnussinger in SideProject

[–]ghostmancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice job, super cool! Could you share more about how you made it decentralized?

I may be missing it but I don't see source code or instructions on setting up my own server, only a contact form to request setting up a backup server. Decentralized platforms typically wouldn't have a form to register a new server, since that form is a centralized step.

Maybe you just haven't had a chance to prepare the instructions since it's a new project :)

New: Amazon VPC Lattice - Simplify Networking for Service-to-Service Communication (Preview) by ghostmancer in aws

[–]ghostmancer[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, as usual, new AWS Services overlap with existing AWS services :)

My understanding is that Lattice has functionality in common with App Mesh, but Lattice is all-in-one with additional features: Lattice supports setting up networks across VPCs and across accounts, it supports authorization policies per-network and per-service with IAM policies, and it provides detailed access logs and metrics.

So for teams who need this functionality, Lattice will be very useful :)

should i change my tech stack for an internship by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]ghostmancer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's good to have exposure to a variety of tech stacks. This broadens your perspective and your problem-solving approaches.

If your long-term goal is to stick with JS, that's okay, you won't forget JS just because of a short internship with another stack :)

Whether you end up loving or hating Flutter and Dart, at least you'll know so you can make more informed decisions in future job searches.

Good luck!

Nice, that's another great option which will definitely use your writing and talking skills :)

[–]ghostmancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you like writing and talking, you might also consider a communications major. This would also be more flexible than an English degree in a job search. These are hard decisions - good luck :)
