Walmart forbids its suppliers from having their infrastructure on AWS—except for CapitalOne apparently.
corporate.walmart.com/newsroom/2019/…
For all of their “no @awscloud!” screaming shitfits, Walmart has a suspiciously large number of employees with AWS-specific expertise.
“We’ll tolerate it when a company is too big for us to bully.”

And now @timallenwagner takes the #serverlessconf stage by storm. Hearty applause.
"Who the f*ck is @timallenwagner to tell us what the future of Serverless is?" He ran the Lambda team at AWS for starters. THIS IS ALL HIS FAULT #Serverlessconf
The audience leans in with anticipation. #serverlessconf

And welcome back to my #serverlessconf shitposting threads! This one is @accenture's own @urnamma, "Selling Serverless to CEOs."
Matt's awesome, and a deep technologist. He's one of Accenture's shining jewels.
It's people like @urnamma that empower @accenture's core business, which is advertising in airports.

And now @kneekey23 and @sbarski take the stage to talk about solving problems the serverless way.

Note that with two speakers, they're very concerned about single points of failure. #ServerlessConf
"Tweeting two talks at the same time!" #serverlessconf
"Let's talk about Lambda, or other FaaS offerings of note" but fails to name any because we need to keep the talk semi-plausible here. #serverlessconf

It’s time for a thread, an #AWS thread, to make sure you know your CloudFront from CloudTrail, and Athena from Aurora … with a little help from the #devcommunity

A is for Alarm

If you are new to #AWS and are using the free tier you may want to add a #CloudWatch Billing Alarm to make sure you don't run into any unexpected charges.

Learn more about CloudWatch with @kylegalbraith

B is for Bucket

#AWS #S3 buckets store objects, similar to files and folders on your local machine.

#Infrastructure folks: What are your favorite films about infrastructure and society (or culture, politics, gender, etc.)? I'm asking for teaching purposes, so I'd particularly like films that are compelling and less than 75 minutes.
Wow! Thanks for all of the tips so far, everyone (and, please, keep them coming). We apparently live in a golden age of infrastructure film. So excited about this.
Hi everyone! So many great recommendations from this thread that I created a google document summarizing:

Just go ahead and block off your next 500 hours or so...

A few weeks back, we've noticed our snapshot bills to grow weirdly high.. after some debugging, I've found the snapshot billing and way snapshots stored as an interesting concept..
As the graph says, the usage vs snapshot billing isn't growing proportionally linear.. (1/n)
I decided to debug how snapshots are billed.. fundamentally, snapshots are block-level backups of EBS volumes.. since AWS can't see data inside your block, they read disk blocks occupied and take a copy of them and store them as objects in their s3.. (2/n)
Every time there's a data change inside your EBS volume, by nature of linux and hard disks, the new blocks is where data is written.. So, AWS knows there's change of data (this could be deletion of data too) and marks those blocks as the difference in data..thus incremental (3/n)

Walmart insists you show a receipt. They can’t do that. 1) you didn’t sign a membership agreement (aka Costco) and 2) once you buy a product, they’re searching your property. You have the right to refuse. @Walmart any comments on how your worker treated my mother?
2) She behaves differently pre-recording. My mother had to go into Walmart for a can of paint (we avoid at all costs) and she insinuated my mother was stealing when she said “no” to the receipt check. She threatened to call a manager.
(3) the manager arrived. Allowed her to belittle the customer and speak in a patronizing tone. She then doesn’t like hearing the word “sh*t”? Please 🙄 #walmart #KnowYourRights #Shopping #CustomerService
