Filtering AWS CloudTrail logs saves big bucks

Deepseek R1 (cloud version) answers are often incomplete or wrong while o1 is explaining it perfectly in less then 1/4th of the time. I don’t get why everybody is so excited.

Protip if you use apt in your pipeline: disabling mandb saves you about 20 seconds each run. That’s free time.

The amount of data the world is sending to the cloud deepseek version running in china is probably more valuable than making the model expensive. Make it free and people question your honesty, make them pay a little and they won’t think about it.

AI’s are just like humans, it tries 10 non-existing things until you make it read the documentation and it’s like dang could’ve saved me a lot of brain cycles there.

Git will be able to blame you though

I didn’t know you could select text in a webbrowser (pc) per word. Double click one word than drag the mouse. Omg…

I really enjoy building reliable tests for our infra setup. It fits so well in the whole IaC vibe. I’m using the e2e framework from Kubernetes sig for this combined with Gomega

I didn’t know ArgoCD doesn’t touch live manifest fields undefined in the desired manifest. That’s why you can add a command override if it wasn’t already defined. Thought it was explicitly ignored or something 🤷🏼‍♂️

I’m using aws_servicequotas_service_quota in Terraform
January 6, 2025 at 2:53 PM
So much more than us. We only have one root.

Those are the best docs. What makes you not use AWS organizations? We only have 7 accounts, but I really like the working of the organizations setup.
January 6, 2025 at 1:39 PM
What a horrible experience… Maybe it’s different when you connect a account to an AWS organization
January 6, 2025 at 12:48 PM
I don’t have any support from AWS either. Was it a very high increment? Nevertheless, try sending the quota change again using the same values+1, it might get auto-approved unless you requested something like 500+ vcpus

Oof, I never had to wait that long. Just resend it with something higher. Also include the quote request in your IaC setup for account vending.

Just looked it up, never played wargames yet. More in the likes of Sleeping Gods, dnd and now we started Gloomhaven.

I use several OSS projects, build end-user infrastructure setups and play a lot of tabletop games 🤷🏼‍♂️

I love reading blogposts like these blog.smidt.dev/posts/0003 #eBPF #GithubActions
Diving into eBPF: Building a Process Tracer from Scratch!
How i ended up writing an ebpf based program to trace processes for a github action.

We have prometheus writing to the EBS disk, but everything else talks to S3 or MongoDB in Atlas
December 12, 2024 at 12:09 PM
But we’re not using a lot of proprietary software. We have two or three things that have a node selector to run on x86_64 specifically. The rest we compile ourself, which consists mostly of dotnet csharp.

So, our use-case is cost saving and availability spreading
