Sometimes, no matter what you do, things just don’t go your way — even when you’re livestreaming (looking at you, audio gremlins 👿 ).
The good news? Even when things don’t go as planned, there’s always a quiet win hiding somewhere. I did end up with a great diagram!
Keep building. Keep learning.

CloudFormation deployment bug last week:
✅ Fix = adding a comment to force redeploy 😅
This is why I always use change sets—especially for production.

Not all AWS costs come from bad decisions. Some just come from... silence.
A customer recently got hit with a surprise bill—hundreds of dollars tied to unused EBS volumes left in the “available” state. Not attached, not used—just quietly burning cash.

✅ Service-level policies = Security Groups
It’s a layered security model. More power, more complexity.

Managing AWS environments across multiple accounts and regions can be complex, especially when it comes to documenting VPC configurations. I often need to get this information quickly for customers, so I developed 🕵️ VPC Detective.
