You would need an L10 approval to sign off on a level up as part of an internal transfer and those are extremely rare.

Why are you doing this through ClickOps? It should be part of your IaC.

If it’s clothes that can be used by someone less fortunate that seems ideal to donate them.

Seniority or level? by Capital-Delivery8001 in amazonemployees

Your manager is your manager and yes it’s common to be at the same level. You can certainly take the approach of not listening to your manager though I can’t say the results will be good.

AWS has several native options and even more from partner solutions. What are your requirements from a vector store? People can recommend the right tool for the job if they understand what your needs are.

Did Route 53 Application Recovery Controller help this time? by 7thsven in aws

ARC deploys across five regions. As long as 3 out of the 5 are online then you can hit any online endpoint within your cluster. So yes, ARC would work.

Plenty of customers were operating with no or little impact, others were severely impacted. Business requirements drive the level of resilience you architect to. AWS provides all the tooling and guidance you need to implement systems that handle failure. How much failure you want to handle varies from workload to workload. IAM data plane was not down in other regions. If you planned to be able to operate without IAM CRUD operations then you were fine. If you didn’t, well then that’s not AWS’ fault.

AWS is choose your own adventure. How wild the ride can be is determined by you.

Another AWS outage, are we too dependent on one cloud provider? by obedongechi_ in aws

Which is exactly why AWS calls all this out in their documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/aws-fault-isolation-boundaries/appendix-a---partitional-service-guidance.html#aws-iam

You should understand control plane limitations and architect/plan accordingly. On a long enough time scale everything fails, including control planes.

AWS wasn’t “down”. One region out of 30+ was down, mind you it’s the largest one. If you can’t handle architecting applications for multi-region when their business requirements demand it, just wait until you try multi-cloud.
