In a nutshell, you can have "tenants" in a CloudFront distribution and each can have it's own domain and cert (aka custom domains). Kudos to AWS on this.

ChatGPT is good at helping work with complex structures in Terraform. Like "Show me Terraform code that would take a list of maps of strings and turn it into a map where the keys in the top level map are concatenated with the keys of the map in the list". #ai #terraform #lazy

Just had to increase the session duration of the AWS role that Terraform is assuming because the 1h default wasn't long enough to spin up my EKS cluster. Gross.
But I guess it's better than the old rack 'em and stack 'em days of the good ol' days.

The Terraform AWS provider has supported 'default_tags' since 2021 and I didn't know about it. SMH.
I guess that's what happens when you're maintaining a project that's been going since Terraform v0.12.
