TIL that when you manage #AWS Step Functions using #CDK or #CloudFormation, you have no control over JobDefinition revisions. So whenever you change a job definition, CloudFormation creates a new revision for it and inactivates the previously active one.
So in practice, when you update a StepFunctions job definition any existing long-running executions that depended on the old version will simply fail. And waste a ton of resources and potentially money.
Depressed to see CDK folks were already aware of this in August 2020, and it didn't seem relevant enough to AWS have been fixed since then: https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/issues/9144#issuecomment-681081310
This sort of problem is exactly what turns some engineering leaders off of #serverless for other architectures.
In particular, I wish AWS would spend more energy into making CloudFormation support better across the board. Like requiring support for new services and ensuring a minimum resource coverage as part of service teams' goals. Because it doesn't look like this is the case today. Something many people like @Quinnypig have been screaming (in the cloud) about for ages now.
Sorry for the rant. I like AWS and serverless, but this boiled my blood today because it had non-trivial impact into my operations and cost and took the team quite a while to figure out. Now we'll have to figure out an ugly workaround to implement. 🙄

It is sort of an open-ended question... but does anyone have any war stories (good or bad) with #cloud credit support programs for #OpenSource projects?
Particularly, the programs that #AWS and #Azure offer (or seem to offer).
🆕 Retiring the AWS Documentation on GitHub!
After reviewing the results of the project and considering the overhead of manually keeping the internal documentation in sync, #AWS decided to retire most of its public repositories: https://bit.ly/3OTZQu4
Anything can be a message queue if you use it wrongly enough
#Amazon #AWS un-open sources the AWS documentation, claiming their internal systems cannot be made to work in a way that they can be easily synced to a git repo. Weird. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/retiring-the-aws-documentation-on-github/
Here's one audio note from a bike ride: "four starlings mid to the west seen then call they flew north off the Burns Building and also five pigeons mid to the west on the Burns Building"
That's my last note transcribed by #AWS Transcribe. I'm in NZ so starlings are Sturnus vulgaris and pigeons are Columba livia. "Mid" means 20–80 m away. "And also" separates two species observations.
#EcologicalMonitoring is *super-easy* for all species that are quick to spot and easy to identify!
Last night I passed another milestone on my long journey to document the changes in nature around me. #AWS Transcribe completed *all* my geotagged and timestamped audio notes from all my bike commutes to and from work. With my weekend runs, that makes 760,840 audio notes transcribed. That's plus 748,707 notes I've typed in over the past 20 years, taking me past 1.5 million. I've got over 500 more trips to transcribe, plus lots of data cleaning still to do.

Another gem from @Quinnypig's Last Week in #AWS: a checklist for things you should log. https://letsbuild.cloud/2023/05/18/important-logs.html
@dekkzz76 @shelenn @deadbeef I fully agree. My predictions:
Twitter will stay the dominant media-fed and media-driven social platform at least in the US.
Bluesky won't make it. Investors will soon realize that it is a scam, nothing else.
The Fediverse will grow slowly and organically. More from Europe than other parts of the world.
#Mastodon will blow up because all its major instances will be hit by a simultaneous multi-day spam bot attack leading to Amazon #AWS blocking all traffic to&from Mastodon instances and there is nothing they can do about it because Eugen was busy implementing #Twitter UX into Mastodon Mobile Apps
The Emacs.ch instance will move to a self-developed #CommonLisp fork of Mastodon (with a Non-Mastodon logo due to a trademark feud) that employs AI algorithms from the PAIP book, get's rid of all #JavaScript (because it is non-free) and is mainly used by users of the #mastodonEL #Emacs package
Its operator will launch a second donations page begging for money to be able to buy two expensive #LispWorks HobbyistDV licenses because lispm from Reddit told him that this unparalleled, magical Lisp productivity is only gained with a superior IDE
There will be heated discussions between factions of the Common Lisp and the Emacs Elisp community about their Lisp being the better, faster and "most free" one
@amszmidt will chime in and do another "Emacs Lisp is not a Lisp - Bite me" post which generates so much traffic that the Emacs.ch instance will blow up in flames and its operator will eventually convert to a #Microsoft fanboy running an ancient fork of #FidoNet written in Omicron Pascal (but converted to #Delphi), hosted on a WinXP machine with IIS and #SQLServer2008.
End of story.
#aws just emailed to say some client is accessing stuff in #s3 using old tls, and if i want more information i should set up something called #cloudTrail. i'm twenty minutes into the docs and console and i've decided i no longer care about the client using old tls.
@pwaring I remember when a goodly chunk of the internet went down due to a cascading Amazon Web Services #AWS cross-zone failure of the Elastic Block Storage (EBS) controllers.
Took me a week to reverse engineer on-disk data structures to rescue my client data; while offline the entire time. And in violation of their SLA and best practices for distribution across several zones. Because it did not matter; it all died. All of it.
😄 Compensation of any kind?
🤣 I'm joking, right?
@internetarchive brought down by #AI company making tens of thousands of requests per second for public domain OCR files that was launched from 64 virtual hosts on amazon’s #AWS services.
They blocked the IP's, got Internet Archive up and running and another 64 addresses started the same type of activity a couple of hours later.
They tweeted it was an AI company doing it. #InternetArchive
https://blog.archive.org/2023/05/29/let-us-serve-you-but-dont-bring-us-down/
Given how terrible #aws is at naming things "SageMaker Fridays" could very well be a casual family restaurant.
@simon_lucy @andreasdotorg @internetarchive
Then that's a necessary sacrifice one needs to do.
If #aws doesn't combat #abuse then it's only valid to #DROP [#DontRouteOrPeer] their systems...
And yes, I do yeet hostile networks as an act of self- and mutual ITsec...
https://github.com/greyhat-academy/lists.d/blob/main/blocklists.list.tsv
@andreasdotorg if I were @internetarchive I'd limit the amount of traffic and connections #AWS can make to 1 per IPv4 & 1 per IPv6 @ 64kbit/s and automatically abuse-report and temporarily soft-block the source IPs via #blackholing [like any #DDoS] if not the entire #AWS #AS!

The only piece of sh** that remains is the #aws VPN client that is targeted to Ubuntu (there is a AUR one that works) and #systemD
It is a patched OpenVPN build against openssl 1.1 🤢

Hmm while doing an #azure to #aws migration of an app.
We detected much lower performance on S3, on the latency per request, this is especially visible as some process would do a lot of small requests, with same object, azure access spends around ~16ms where s3 takes
~47ms...
Any idea of what could be the issue ? Or this is expected ?
We are using IRSA / IAM roles on AWS where on Azure the tokens are directly in environment variables but I don't think this would have an impact ?
Same code, same objects (but on s3 instead of blob).
