Oh hey, to install RedHat OpenShift on AWS I have to grant @RedHat administrator access to the entire @awscloud account.
“You mean Administrator access to the ROSA service principals?”

No, I do not.
I should point out that this is significantly broader than AWS's own accesses into your account. You will have no secrets from RedHat if you do this. KMS keys? Theirs. Passwords? Theirs.

These are the only things RedHat can't do with that role:
I have been told that this is getting fixed when docs.openshift.com/container-plat… gets pushed out in June.

Thank goodness.

And now, reply to this tweet (or DM me) with your career questions, and I will advise you in the form of a shitpost.
I'd take a look at what salaries in this industry have done over the past 18 months and seriously question whether you've maxed the salary, or merely maxed it at your company.
Never. Your answer to "why am I looking to leave" is "I'm not sure that I am." Make them sell you. If they can't, don't jump.

I don't think more people have pinged me on something on Twitter since my "how AWS Compensation works" blog post.

I suppose I should read this thing and do a thread.
Before I start, this is my specific industry niche. It's nuanced, incredibly complex, and it's a near certainty that any issues I take with the report aren't criticisms of @martin_casado or @sarahdingwang at all.

Similarly, any VC criticisms I make are broad, not @a16z specific!
We start with this graph. Clearly something momentous happened in 2020 on a global scale: you forgot to turn your EC2 instances off. Image

So in tonight's thread I want to change things up a bit, and talk about things I like about @awscloud. Strap in.
First, the folks working in the tech field, including training and certification as well as @awssupport are miracle workers. I mean, think about it—they have to deal with you people!
IAM is complicated and tricksy, with dangers all about. The identity + security folks have what are functionally impossible jobs, but somehow they consistently deliver.

Oh I just found tonight’s Twitter thread topic. Let’s do it!
Back up any personal (NOTE: NOT CORPORATE IP!) data on my work laptop whenever I get a context-less "let's talk" message.
Putting all of my corporate expenses on my personal card, then expensing them instead of the other way around to avoid giving them the "well technically this might be embezzlement" stick if they disagree with a decision.

This looks *WAY* easier than the alternate "commit newsworthy atrocities" approach to getting @verified...
I think the "Sports" category best fits me, because when it comes to dunking on AWS I'm basically the Michael Jordan of the space.
“What makes you notable?”
“Pass me @twitter’s AWS bill for a minute and I’ll show you.”

All right, let's give you a spin, App Runner. Somewhere an @awscloud service team's collective sphincters tighten.
Before I start, a hat-tip of admiration to @AWSIdentity; awscli v2 + SSO make this a streamlined experience in my shitposting account.
I don't know what a container registry is so we'll go with a source code repository. It doesn't even pretend that I"m using CodeCommit, which is nice.
