As we head off to the weekend, trying to answer one of life's most fundamental questions: should I update the version of my chime?

We shipped a thing for Fargate today - you can now check for clock drift information for your task. Not all customers will need this, but those who do really need it and we listen to our customers: aws.amazon.com/about-aws/what…

heard in one of the meetings today: "by the time you get a response back from the ntp server, you're already in the past" my daily reminder that i don't understand how computers work.

is it really a real enough project if you don't have a sync meeting to sync and about the things that you need to talk about in the sync meeting?

w00t! side note: if you like Gibibytes more than Gigabytes (why won't you?), Fargate's storage unit has now switched to GiB instead of GB. So, yay for that. And by default, you get ~18MiB more storage :)

Love containers & container registries? I'm looking for talented product managers to come help build the next generation of container technology with Amazon ECR & ECR Public. amazon.jobs/en/jobs/149106…

We introduced balloons to the little one today. His reactions(excitement) is the best thing ever. 🎈

@kohidave Outlook still complains that I have not specified a location for my meeting :)

@rchrdbyd apologies! posted external links in the thread. lmk if those don't work.

@aaithal Are those internal links? Do they work outside the VPN?

if you like working on containers/fargate/golang (one or a combination of the above) and are looking for internship/full-time positions, we're hiring! :) * amazon.jobs/en/jobs/1364267 * amazon.jobs/en/internal/jo… * amazon.jobs/en/internal/jo…

Messed up links in the original tweet. Hopefully, these work: * amazon.jobs/en/jobs/136426… * amazon.jobs/en/jobs/139926… * amazon.jobs/en/jobs/140840…

DMs are open if you wanna chat more or have questions. github.com/firecracker-mi… would be one of the many pieces of software that you'd be contributing to.

Here's wishing everyone who's oncall thia week a special happy new year. May your tickets be all related to incorrect api usage :) rest of you, enjoy your pager free new year!

We say goodbye to re:invent 2020 with a look back on all the container announcements since Kubecon. youtu.be/dgq6qPRSazA

@QuinnyPig @awscloud hold on, i'll call you on chime using slack.

Tell me you work with / for @awscloud without telling me.

@jamesurquhart lightbulbs are an old technology. We switched to bulbless :)

Q: How many cloud experts does it take to change a lightbulb? A: Define ‘lightbulb’…

Dear god no! I hope folks are not running things like this on their machines: commandlinefu.com/commands/view/… It's not secure and could potentially break your applications. This is a good read for why that's a bad idea: docker.com/blog/intro-gui…

sample: /* __attribute__((constructor)) void set_ns(void) { setns(open("/run/mntns/whygodwhy", O_RDONLY, 0644), 0); } */ import "C"

wanna muck around with mount namespaces in golang? protip: don't do it unless you absolutely have to. You need to care about threads and use cgo and hardcode the namespace(TIL).
