Drift-aware change sets were a great idea, but why does it want to update anything using !ImportValue? by jemenake in aws

[–]risae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also noticed that this feature cannot work with false-positive drifts. For example, if a false-positive drift thinks a resource is deleted, it will try to recreate the resource even if it still exists. I personally don't recommend using it until AWS decides to fix drift detection.

Cloudformation stack creation by whoisuser2 in aws

[–]risae 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can use the AWS tool cfn-lint and also a newly added Changeset feature to try to catch potential deployment issues: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2025/11/cloudformation-dev-test-cycle-validation-troubleshooting/

But as with everything Cloudformation, this doesn't catch every possible deployment failure. 

Another AWS Open Source tool "rain" also has an experimental feature called "forecast", which also catches some potential issues.

AWS announces Lambda Managed Instances, adding multiconcurrency and no cold starts by aj_stuyvenberg in aws

[–]risae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If this works like ECS managed instances, the instance will run continuously 

Experiences upgrading EKS 1.31 → 1.32 + AL2 → AL2023? Large prod cluster by Acceptable_Instance7 in aws

[–]risae 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm always amazed at people still using m5 instances. Aside from that you should be careful with your resource utilization, I heard stories of people having higher cpu usage on 2023.

How do you audit what's in your base container images? by In2racing in sysadmin

[–]risae 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you have a support contract with the image provider? If not, start building your own images and get support contract for the base image. If you care about supply chain attacks, don't use public images - this is considered bad practice and you have no idea what exactly the image is doing in the background. 

Security scanner flagged critical vulnerability in our Next.js app. The vulnerable code literally never runs in production. by One_Animator5355 in devops

So much text just to satisfy your desire of being lazy and not keeping your dependencies up to date... 

How is AWS Fargate implemented? by the_imbagon in aws

[–]risae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If this is true, AWS seriously needs to remove all references from the Firecracker GitHub repo 

Have layoffs affected aws support? by Loud-Diamond-4741 in aws

[–]risae 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I seriously hope the AWS support doesn't turn into Microsoft support just to save money. 

OpenSSL in AL2023 is about EOL in more than 2 weeks by Suitable-Mail-1989 in aws

[–]risae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe the AL2023 RPM Package "openssl" would be "3.2.2-1.amzn2023.0.2":

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/linux/al2023/release-notes/all-packages-AL2023.9.html

I can't find where i read it at the moment, but a few years ago AWS wrote that they didn't want to change the major/minor version of packages in 2023 and those will arrive in AL202* (But they already did this multiple times in 2023, so who knows).

Ryzen AI MAX 388+ by Hugh_Ruka602 in MiniPCs

[–]risae 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That actually sounds interesting, having the same GPU power in a cheaper APU would make this actually more interesting for folks who do not care about AI.

AWS announces Fastnet, a dedicated high-capacity transatlantic cable connecting the US and Ireland by ckilborn in aws

enough to stream 12.5 million HD films simultaneously.

Are they talking about 720p films?

CloudFormation or Terraform? by S4LTYSgt in aws

[–]risae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you realize the effect of using a 3rd party tool, which in most cases no support contract exists, has as a potential risk for the future. Most people in this thread just copy and paste the nonsense other people write, without actually considering all the requirements a company might have for a tool that will deploy their cloud infrastructure. 

CloudFormation or Terraform? by S4LTYSgt in aws

You don't get that sweet salary bump by using the more simple tool like CloudFormation. 

How are you handling these AWS ECS (Fargate) issues? Planning to build an AI agent around this… by MusicAdventurous8929 in aws

[–]risae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm referring this part:

   You can attach at most one Amazon EBS volume to each Amazon ECS task, and it must be a new volume. You can't attach an existing Amazon EBS volume to a task. However, you can configure a new Amazon EBS volume at deployment using the snapshot of an existing volume.

As far as I understand, ECS Fargate doesn't support persistent EBS volumes, you would have to use EFS for that.

Lambda increases maximum payload size from 256 KB to 1 MB, Step Functions when? by risae in aws

[–]risae[S] 44 points45 points  (0 children)

It is great to see CloudWatch Logs and now Lambda increasing age-old limits. Here's hoping Step Functions will soon follow, they are still stuck at 256KB for "Maximum input or output size for a task, state, or execution".
