This is a very niche thing, but there is now a (not canonical) place with all the smithy models of all the AWS API supported by the AWS CLI: github.com/aws/api-mode... This does not include all available models, for that we still need @frichetten.com 's repo github.com/Frichetten/a...

Besides hanging out on the internet, I also play in a symphonic windband. This weekend we (narrowly) placed first in the Flemish Open Windband Championship, securing a ticket to the European Championship for Wind Orchestras. www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/20...

Messages like this always warm my heart. Cloud security research is all about improving the safety and security of the platform to protect users.

Load management is all around us - from restaurants handling the lunch rush to cloud systems balancing millions of requests. Mike Haken’s latest Builders' Library article shows how the principles never change: detect early, adapt quickly, degrade gracefully. aws.amazon.com/builders-lib...

Reading Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming" fascicles as they came out was incredibly key to discovering the Shuffle Sharding pattern, but I don't think I've ever written about it before ... news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4297...

“How many keys do I need?“ is a post you might have missed after re:invent. It contains insights about criteria and strategies when it comes to using and managing KMS keys. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/aws-kms-how-many-keys-do-i-need/ #aws #security

There is a huge advantage to this over blockenheimer: you can tell why you blocked them because it'll say what list has them blocked, and removal is automatic if the person unfollows instead of sticking forever (think: journalist who was following but switches to another way of monitoring)

One of the small quality-of-life improvement specs I've been closely following for a bit now: httpwg.org/http-extensi... Sharing just cause I'm not sure how many folks have been paying attention to HTTP maybe getting a new verb soon 😍

I'll be at AWS #reinvent this year, looking forward to seeing a bunch of cloud-friends! LMK if you're there and like to meet up I will also be co-hosting two PeerTalk Meetups (new!), PTM115-R1 & PTM102-R1, so that's also a good way to run into me (register in the app, under PeerTalk > Meetups)!

Just released, but please do not use this - it does not give you a fully working CloudFront (no ACM) - It creates a bunch of infra in your account (not a service) - "ensures all requests are […] inspected by […] WAF" is misleading - Cache poisoning is possible / easy aws.amazon.com/about-aws/wh...

Seeing a "real" PRFAQ is a very interesting look behind the scenes. As far as I know this is the only (AWS) PRFAQ that has been shown publicly (although there have been other examples and at least one amazon.com one shown publicly)

These are some very cool new features. I've had some good experiences with finch on macos, these should make it possible to use in even more places
