Should be easier to see when the EBS IOPS limit is being hit now. Nice.

This message was brought to you by AWS and their $3.6/month/IPv4 address charge.

GPU on AWS ECS Fargate is finally coming! They're working on it.

@rauchg I always thought it was on purpose. They make it slow so you won't even bother declining and they can keep tracking.

Cookie banners. Just visited a US website, from the US, that ships a 457.11kB (minified!) JS bundle of a GDPR "banner SDK" from a "trust" provider. Over 3x the size of React. It ships its very own version of jQuery inside. Going to the "trust" provider website yields a 5.3s LCP (i.e.: 5s+ to load the first screen completely). 53% of visitors experience a similarly terrible loading experience. They couldn't care less. This is the stuff that's silently destroying the web. • For most users, these providers have gamified beyond belief your ability to actually block cookies. The primary buttons are always "Accept All", even when you "customize your preferences". More often than not, they're cheating you into accepting everything. • The amount of JS they ship, downloading from a 3rd party website, is destroying the web's performance • The aesthetics and function of websites is massively compromised. In the spirit of "privacy and trust", they're eroding the open web in favor of proprietary platforms. • They undermine the product engineering teams' efforts. I've met so many amazing design engineers who spend countless hours honing experiences, only to have them destroyed by cookie junk. Cookie banner slop has to stop.

@astuyve This is what I do when that issue happens. It usually makes CloudFormation carry on. Works for ASGs too. Useful when you can't scale down to zero to fix it.

@astuyve I have manually edited services and forced a new proper deployment more times than I'd like to admit.

accidentally used the wrong architecture on my fargate task and now I'm doomed to sit here forever and think about what I did

@QuinnyPig All their GPUs are busy with AI. No more capacity left for transcoding.

AWS to not stream / record re:Invent keynotes this year, in order to "further strengthen the conference's culture and teams."

Anyone want to try the latest version of camelcamelcamel? Big update now in beta...

@matthewdfuller I built a tool for myself that allows searching on more than one CloudTrail field at a time, throws in some charts, and is even snappier. I was thinking of releasing it. Any interest in checking it out?

CloudTrail "lookupEvents" API. Lookup attributes is an array. Can only contain one item... 😑

@QuinnyPig Does this actually turn off Q or just prevent it from learning from me telling it how wrong it is all the time?

Hey, AWS launched a one-click opt-out for training AI on your data. This is a great change. docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/…

@jeffbarr I was wondering why all of a sudden all my instances had three status checks instead of two. Thanks for explaining!

All Amazon #EC2 Nitro instances in commercial AWS Regions and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions now include a new status check to directly monitor the reachability of the EBS volumes connected to the instance. Learn more at aws.amazon.com/about-aws/what…

@YuvalAriav @amitaiz חכה הבחור שפרץ את פלייסטיישן לפני עשרים שנה יתקן את זה. הוא יודע מה הוא עושה.

Better SSO flow for the mobile AWS app is finally here aws.amazon.com/about-aws/what…

@ranman Do we have any reason to believe that's what's going to happen? Because judging by the last year, we are probably just going to get more AI stuff.

AWS is deprecating the things no one uses. It needs to happen and it needs to happen ASAP. They need their best people on building the best fundamentals.
