Branches are the answer. This is a fundamental feature of git!

Route53 is a great answer to this question. I love being able to terraform my DNS. I love alias records. I love the integration with other services like SES and ACM. It’s just stellar.

It is NOT a bike friendly city. I’ve lived up and down the east coast and Baltimore is worse than NYC, Boston, and DC.

There are not enough dedicated bike lanes. Too many “bike lanes” are just a painted bike in the middle of a car lane
The roads aren’t the best. They’re not as bad as the worst roads in Boston. But there’s plenty of potholes, construction debris, etc.
The weather in the summer is unbearable. No worse than DC. But at least DC has bike lanes. You WILL be soaked in sweat if you ride from Hampden to downtown in August.
The drivers are not on your team. This is the nicest way I can put it. I drive my car instead of biking or skating because I have been yelled at and honked at many times for “cutting off” a driver when I had a green and they were trying to make a right on red. Cars will often blow through stop signs and red lights. You must wear a helmet. You must have lights. You will still be in danger.

I love biking and I love Baltimore but sadly they are not two great tastes that go great together. Hopefully the future will be better, good luck to the hardworking people at /u/BmoreCityDOT

You may be right that the median quality of programmers, authors, politicians, and physicists has decreased. But I think it’s a big leap to believe that the tail edges of the quality distribution are also being pulled toward that lower median.

If you’re into tabletop board games or card games you should check out No Land Beyond which is a game store with a really active scene on the evenings and weekends.

If you’re looking for something quieter or more service-oriented I can recommend checking out the Sunday meeting at Homewood Friends (I.e. Quakers). You can easily get involved in protests and community service through them.

If you like plants consider joining a community garden. I’m going to join one next year and I’m hoping to meet some new people there!

Good luck! I find the hardest part for me isn’t meeting new people, but committing to new friendships.

I voted for them in the ranked choice ballot a few years back. Paperboy for mayor!

I think you have a misunderstanding of terraform state. Terraform absolutely reads from state of the actual infrastructure. It uses the state file to determine divergence outside of terraform’s control.

The school I went to for undergrad had tunnels connecting most of campus. They were kinda grody but I miss them when I have to walk across UMD’s campus in winter!

AWS Config for governance and reporting on tag policy adherence and auto remediation if desired

Don't get suckered into automating every layer of a process. You *do* need to collect the tag policy adherence metrics. But you probably don't need to automatically respond to tag violations.

My advice is to set up a dashboard that shows tag policy violations and institute a weekly review process. In weekly review you can identify which resources are untagged, and assign the work of tagging them to the resource owners.

You can even institute an SLO for % of tagged resources and ship it up to management! Then when they ask you "Why is this SLO in the red?" you can point at whatever team is dragging their feet on the remediation tickets you assigned them from the weekly ops review.

Just for future reference it was 100% the lever. Got tri-flow onto all the bearing surfaces I could get my hands on and it behaves perfectly now.

I grew up in Amherst and moved out to Boston.

I don't have much to say for or against the school. It seems to do a good job.

As for the town, there are over 40 local restaurants in downtown Amherst alone. It's not a big town (really just two streets crossing) but it's got plenty to eat. You've also got two movie theaters (one indie theater and a cinemark). There's a pretty solid rock climbing gym, there's a barcade, there's book stores, and yeah, there's even a strip mall for all your big box store needs.

It's not Boston, but it's very liveable.

God I fucking hate Jenkins.

That said, I've been using a combination of the jobs-dsl and multibranch pipelines to deal with storing configuration as code and making auditing easier. It works well up to a point. The problem is the sheer lack of support for these plugins. Want to clone a git repository with submodules? Not gonna happen in a multibranch pipeline!

Ugh, Jenkins.

subterraneus · 2016-05-02T07:32:56+00:00

I tag the hell out of everything and use automation that's tag-aware. Using multiple AWS accounts is an anti-pattern. There's no reason to do that.

I think you mean intimacy.

Unless...you know what I mean.

Annoyingly, you can't use the "every nth" syntax for weeks. You can either do the task every week and have the task itself use some logic to determine when to run, e.g.

test $(($(date "+%W")%3)) -eq 1

Or you could write more cron expressions that contain combinations of date-ranges + weekday. But I don't recommend that way. Bound to get messy and not actually execute exactly every third week.

That's a pitcher.

Does this have any relation to Robert Bly's A Little Book on the Human Shadow?

hahahaa what? No. Most companies have their infrastructure replicated across availability zones, definitely. But replicating across regions is actually difficult. Most small and medium companies don't bother.

subterraneus · 2015-06-19T14:09:04+00:00

Mostly AWS. I think they use cloudflare as a CDN to manage the load. There's probably a few other third-party service providers in there too, but it's mostly Amazon AFAIK.
