I was going to build out a hilariously over-complicated & fiendishly expensive Wordpress architecture as a joke, but unfortunately @awscloud beat me to it.
"You forgot another Auto Scaling Group, plus a Lambda function" says @bitnami.

"Yeah, you forgot a Lambda function!" affirms Bitnami acquirer @VMware while frantically googling "what the hell is a Lambda function" in the background.
I hope @SYerunkar feels personally attacked right now.

Today was apparently the @ibm earnings call. Let's see what they had to say...
Highlights:
* Arvind Krishna remains CEO and not fired in favor of Jim Whitehurst yet.
* COVID19 gets blamed for everything bad, suspiciously absent when talking about the good parts.
* They announced a 10 year services deal with Banco Sabadell, which is very IBM of them.
"I will be present on earnings calls!" commits their interim CEO / Jim Whitehurst's chair warmer.

@ibmcloud (the segment that includes Red Hat and a bunch of other things) grew 7%, which is "we forgot to turn some things off" growth territory.

Oh man I'm learning so very much about @awscloud culture from the conversation in this blog post. This thread is for my AWS employee friends during these dark times.
First, Amazon apparently updated the post to not reflect their actual ridiculous room numbering for some reason?
Second, nobody at Amazon apparently ever uses the phrases "please" or "thank you" in their conversations. Every line of dialogue is a direct question.

Okay, this has shown up not just in r/aws, but also in two other subreddits I do moderate. Who's trolling me?

On the one hand, I feel for this poor schmoo.

On the other, he set up some giant things on his personal account, ignored his email for three months, and his immediate panic reaction is to sue AWS, his former employer, and/or declare bankruptcy. He's... not the most sympathetic.
"Free tier" means something very specific to @awscloud, and you see again and again and again stories like this that demonstrate it means something different to new customers.
