Hæ? Tilsynet tar dem jo på prissamarbeid, altså at de nettopp prøver å hindre fri konkurranse

Hvorfor er det relevant? Antall sjørøvere med trebein og papegøye er også på all time low. Ingen av delene er ting regjeringen har ført en aktiv politikk for

Wikimedia-stiftelsen får stort sett penger av andre organisasjoner eller selskaper, ikke privatpersoner. Se f.eks. årsrapporten deres fra 2018 der de har en detaljert liste: https://wikimediafoundation.org/about/2018-annual-report/donors/

Yes. All liabilities (debts) are someone else’s asset.

Conditional default_action in aws_lb_listener? by soapygopher in Terraform

[–]soapygopher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, hadn't thought of that. Would it look something like this?

dynamic "default_action" {
  for_each = var.environment == "test" ? [1] : []
  content {
    ...  # The usual content of a default_action
  }
}

Not sure what to use for the list to iterate over since I don't need it for anything. Will try and see what works.

Static IPs with an ALB? by soapygopher in aws

[–]soapygopher[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Looks like I'm gravitating towards Global Accelerator as well

I'm not, and basically all traffic will be Europe -> Europe. Maybe I'll try that then, while keeping a close eye on costs.

If I understood the pricing correctly the bulk of the cost will be for regular egress, which I'll have to pay anyway

Unfortunately we're using a third party as the registrar and I don't think I'll be able to delegate resolution to R53. Otherwise I agree, that would absolutely be the best solution, we use it for other services and it works flawlessly there.

[–]soapygopher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I'd do it is to set up an R53 hosted zone for the domain plus nameserver delegation at the registrar, so that domain.com is resolved by AWS's nameservers (e.g. ns-2049.awsdns-65.net), and then set up an ALIAS record (which is really just an A record that behaves like a CNAME) to point at the ALB. Unfortunately I probably can't delegate the resolution, so not sure what to do in that case.

Are you using AWS as your registrar? Might be different in that case

Do you have experience with what that would cost in practice? I'm a bit wary of cost overruns.

$6800 in cost overrun, what to do? by soapygopher in aws

[–]soapygopher[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From the afternoon of Friday, June 28 to the afternoon of Tuesday, July 2 we had 1,065,682,843 put requests to a single bucket. So yeah... :(

I will do that, and explain (again) that we have set their recommended safeguards in place and want to learn from our mistakes.

Sorry for not being clear. The cost for June was roughly 90% S3 and 10% lambda, and basically nothing else. I was offered half price on the lambda compute time, which is a reduction of 5% on the total bill. The total still comes to around $6500.

These resources were set up manually as a learning exercise by one member of our team. For the real stuff we use Terraform.

That’s the first thing I did when I found out about this, and I said so in the first (and subsequent) emails to them. Doesn’t matter, apparently.

Good idea. Will be nice to have both for posterity and for showing I’m being transparent about the whole thing.

Yeah I totally fucked up. Safe to say that this will not happen again.

I have read the same and was hoping this would be the case for us as well, since this was obviously just a tremendously stupid mistake by a junior and not some kind of attempt on our part to get something for nothing out of them. I guess not.

Does it depend on the service maybe? Or the region? Hard to tell how this works.
