With zero commentary on the technology itself, in this thread I’m going to bring web3 culture to @awscloud concepts.
Every API call you make becomes a chargeable transaction.
Every time you mention a few key terms you'll get @AWSSupport lookalikes replying instantly with sketchy Google Doc forms claiming to be the support portal and demanding your credentials. Twitter will do nothing about this.
If you lose your MFA device / root credentials, you’ll be billed every month for the rest of time on whatever’s inside your account.
If you mention that you're not using DynamoDB, I'll condescendingly reply with "ngmi"
Every few days there will be another story about how someone got their IAM credentials stolen and they're now liable for $200M in EC2 charges. “This is good for @awscloud” will be the refrain.
Data egress to the internet will cost 6x as much as storing the data—wait. That one actually happens in @awscloud. Maybe they should call it "gas fees" instead of egress.
If you adopt a "wait and see" approach to the technology you'll be constantly hounded by people trying to convince you otherwise.
The "data centers 4 life" crowd will be every bit as obnoxious as the cloud advocates.
Your profile picture can now be an AWS architecture diagram logo for your favorite service. They will mean nothing to anyone not deep in this space. And the art will remain terrible.
Every AWS service will be described in a context that makes it completely unclear what the hell business value it provides, instead of just SageMaker.
Every transaction shows up in the ledger/bill, but it takes a day to process. This is considered to be just fine.
We’re all going to start putting CloudFront POP designations in our usernames.
