@asrg @jsbarretto personally, I tend to just block entire ASNs like #aws to stop them, espechally at work since anything else is too much work!

Last one of these hopefully has anyone done the paid #AWS training and was it helpful
In the context of cloud infrastructure that can be taken away by the whims of an orange muppet, knowledge about self hosting with open source tools should be considered a must have.
This video covers the basics:
Is there a race to who is the biggest scumbag?

In October 2018, Jamal Khashoggi, a writer for the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post, was killed and dismembered with the approval of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (better known as MBS) after Khashoggi entered a Saudi consulate in Istanbul to get paperwork for his upcoming marriage. His body has never been found. On May 13th, Bezos’ Amazon announced it would work with Humain, MBS’ AI company, to build an “AI Zone” in Saudi Arabia — and the two companies will spend more than $5 billion in the process.

At this point if you are buying or selling on #Amazon or any company this shithole owned (includes #aws) - you are the problem.

I am doing Terraform crimes, snatching the ENIs out from under an ALB so I can attach security groups.
The official provider has no LB SG attachment resource (thanks stalebot!) and the Kubernetes load balancer controller would introduce a cyclic dependency.

Why #AWS is terrible for most businesses

Jack Yan: the Persuader Blog · Why AWS is terrible for most businessesI know, if you search, you’re bound to find an opinion that matches yours, and pretty quickly, too. Bhagwad Park (in either Ontario or Florida—I assume one of the addresses on his site hasn’t been updated) happens to agree with me about AWS, except he breaks things down far better, being an expert on web

Pinning an #introduction on my newly reactivated account.
I'm a senior #devops engineer, runner and #minimalist.
I'm interested in #aws, #linux, #kubernetes, #serverless and adjacent topics. I've been in the industry, as they say, for over 17 years now. I'm getting old.
I do some #running and #rowing for a bit of physical exercise. I really like computers so I need to sometimes touch grass.
It's really interesting to see a company report they are saving millions in storage fees alone by moving *from* AWS to on-prem, considering so many companies were influenced to move to AWS to begin with because of Netflix's articles many years ago about the money they saved on storage costs moving *to* AWS.

From the digital archives: #AWS #EC2 IP ranges from 14 years ago.
Little bit smaller than today (https://ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json)

@f4grx @nixCraft @torproject not really.
- #aws has pretty chunky blocks like /14.
- They don't use #IPv6, only #IPv4.
- Blocking entrie #ASN|s is easy.
I do this with #pfSense & #pfBlockerNG for quite a while…
And the same #blocklist also works for other applications like #nginx, #HAproxy, #httpd, etc.

@jbz If #Azure, #AWS, #GoogleCloud, #iCloud, and other US-based cloud services are to remain viable, then #Microsoft, #Amazon, #Alphabet, and #Apple will need to re-organize, such that operations in the #EU and #Canada come to be solely within the legal, physical, and cryptographic custody of non-subsidiary EU-headquartered or Canadian-HQ'd companies, with separate (EU or Canadian citizen and resident) boards and executives, bound by contract, licences, API, and cryptographic keys, yet legally and technologically uncontrollable except in compliance with EU or Canadian law by their US counterparts.
I’m not at #RSA this year but I will be presenting an abbreviating version of the talk I pitched last year to #RSAC (for which I was an alternate) at #AWS #reinforce in Philadelphia in June. It’s also an abbreviated talk of this one I gave at the AWS security community day in Mountain View since I only have 20 minutes to cover over 2+ years of work. I might mix it up a bit since I have more than one day to produce the slides. 
I was trying to wrap up an AWS pentest when I got asked to speak so was a little pressed for time but I think it worked out ok. Hope you can join me!

So far the #AWS London Summit 2025 has been really good, it feels really busy so much so that I didn't manage to get a seat at the keynote so I'm sitting out watching it on my laptop while cracking on with some other bits. I've got a lot of talks I'm looking forward to so at least this way I'm not going to accidental sit in the Keynote and then the follow on session like I have in previous years and not realised!
I'm heading into London today for the #AWS London Summit which will be my first time being there in a couple of years. I'm actually pretty excited (And if for no other reason than because I booked myself first class train tickets to actually get some work done and not have to fight for a seat on a peak time train!).
If I've got any mutuals / folks I've engaged with here also at the event and you'd like to grab a coffee and say Hi feel free to drop me a message, I've got a lot of talks I want to try to make today but I'm also not rushing off immediately at the end of the last talk so will be around for networking and chit chat towards the end of the event if nothing else!
AWS Lambda standardizes billing for INIT Phase
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/aws-lambda-standardizes-billing-for-init-phase/ #aws #blog
Amazon Web Services · AWS Lambda standardizes billing for INIT Phase | Amazon Web ServicesEffective August 1, 2025, AWS will standardize billing for the initialization (INIT) phase across all AWS Lambda function configurations. This change specifically effects on-demand invocations of Lambda functions packaged as ZIP files that use managed runtimes, for which the INIT phase duration was previously unbilled. This update standardizes billing of the INIT phase across all runtime types, deployment packages, and invocation modes. In this post, we discuss the Lambda Function Lifecycle and upcoming changes to INIT phase billing. You will learn what happens in the INIT phase and when it occurs, how to monitor your INIT phase duration, and strategies to optimize this phase and minimize costs.
The PHP community's resident API curmudgeon, @Philsturgeon, has a new post on setting up HTTP caching with Laravel Vapor.
"It's worth the work, because it cuts down on costs, and even helps reduce the carbon impact of your software, so it's basically rude not to turn it on."
