What the... it's not April 1st. @CentOSProject is ending support for CentOS 8 years early.

Don't worry, I know where to escalate this to. Image
This is how you learn to do Linux admin by the way. You move from channel to channel on IRC as you get redirected. Image
This leads to you making all kinds of friends! Image
I don't have the patience I once did, so I say the quiet part out loud now. Image
Assume good faith. Image

It's the AWS infrastructure keynote with Peter DeSantis, and this is my #reQuinnvent livetweet thread. Like an @awscloud groundhog, this is the one day a year he comes out of the data center to tell us what he's seen, look for his shadow, and use the bathroom. Image

Music in a minor key about adversity is a great choice to kick off a keynote about infrastructure. Hardware is always depressing; it's a real kick in the rack nuts. #reinvent Image

So here's an @awscloud Lambda@Edge problem that's haunted me for ages. A thread, as I thrash and attempt to learn the things I don't know...
Curling the official @awscloud status page takes .3 seconds to complete. If I curl stop.lying.cloud, that takes 23 seconds to complete. And it absolutely should not.
The domain points to a CloudFront distribution. That distribution invokes a Lambda function that returns HTML with my suitable modifications to the payload. Image

And now the Data Analytics leadership session at #reinvent--oh what the damn hell. @rahulpathak didn't dress up for our podcast recording nearly so well! Image
This entire slide also applies to the @awscloud bill. Image
"Here's how Moderna uses our services to fight the pandemic, so you can feel better about using those same services to show ads to people." Image

And now I watch @marknca's talk: "Mistakes Were Made." virtual.awsevents.com/media/t/1_q68y… Image
TrendMicro: "Hey Mark, why did you expense $40K of streaming equipment but then record your talk while having your driver's license photo taken?" Image
Now taunting the entire concept of Best Practices. Better known as "whatever the opposite of what Corey does." Image

So let's talk about the sad part of #reinvent-done-virtual: the sponsor hall.

"Wait, there's a sponsor hall?"

Sure there is! Let's go visit!
Log into the #reinvent site. In the far upper left is an unassuming three line "hamburger." Image
If you click it, it expands into a full sidebar menu. Midway down, you'll see a "Sponsors" option. Image

Now Steve Schmidt's Security Leadership session.
Okay, this resonates massively.
Skipping past the recap of existing security services. There are a LOT of them. If you enable all of them it will cost you more than a data breach would. #reinvent
