Put the CSVs in S3, use a glue crawler to read the CSVs and output it to RDS, I think. Alternatively use Athena to query the tabular data in S3 directly.

You don't need a WAF to limit ingress IP - you can do that with regular security groups. It's a fine thing to add if you want, though

I just got asked about Aurora multi-region multi-master, which doesn't exist. Now I get to have a whole bunch of meetings to determine business requirements and figure out what architecture will actually suffice

Scrapez posted:Is there any way to do multi-region with Aurora Serverless? We have a database that has very low utilization with occasional small spikes so it's perfect for serverless but I need to have it be multi-regional. They claim serverless v2 is compatible with Aurora global, which is multi-region. Mysql only, and it's in preview. https://aws.amazon.com/rds/aurora/serverless/ posted:

Amazon's stock compensation is weighted as follows: 5% granted on the 1y anniversary 15% granted on the 2y anniversary 20% every six months after that. So for someone hired 2 years ago just entering their 3rd year of tenure, their stock-based compensation (which could be 50% or more of their total comp) just took a 25% dive. Add to that the fact that 1) compensation changes happen once a year, 2) are frequently heavily weighted 2 years out, 3) Amazon is one of the lowest compensating of the FAANGs (gotta love that frugality leadership principle) and 4) new hires get paid current market rate but tenured peoples' comp lags quite a bit... Well, job hopping starts to look pretty dang attractive

You might be able to get a proactive dive and save (without another offer in hand) depending on your manager and org, but it might be just as easy to take another job and boomerang if you want. #pay-equity and #pay-equity-discussion are good resources if you're not aware of them.

Quebec Bagnet posted:You may know this already, but I'll point it out anyway. The CLI is automatically generated from the API specification, and the CFN schema closely wraps the underlying create/modify APIs (to the point where CFN documentation sometimes describes parameters in ways which only make sense if you consider the underlying API call). So figuring out how to do something in CLI or API will be very easy to translate to CFN. This is usually true, but it's also the case that some things simply aren't implemented in CFn yet that you can do either through the CLI or the console

Yes. A bastion host gets you into the vpc, and then either manage directly from the bastion host or double hop onto another ec2 server for management And/Or direct connect / vpn / workspaces Edit: not just gui management. You couldn't read from or write to it with SQL statements unless you had network connectivity. That's either public access (bad), vpc access, or dx/vpn

Yeah, no, I read your post. Good for you for not rejecting yourself on their behalf. Make them do it. I have a *very* hard time believing Duckbill would hire me, let alone get me past the resume screening stage. But if they're going to say no, I'm not going to do it for them.

One of the things that I entered into the application form was that Duckbill prioritizes caring about people and having no oncall requirements. And then LOL got woken up at midnight when I got paged for something that was complete BS

Duckbill rejected me very directly and kindly. Then I asked for feedback and got some, again, direct and kind and well targeted. If I'm still in the workforce in 10 years, I might try again.

Does anyone here have extensive operational experience with Lambda and want to pick up a short consulting gig? $Oldjob is starting to look at it and they want to compare notes with someone with practical experience. As far as I can tell, the scope is advisory only, not building a solution. Language is C# / Powershell, FWIW

EC2, S3, RDS are usually the big ones for most enterprises. Cost savings measures: * Are they using reserved instances or compute savings plans? * How much inter-AZ or inter-region traffic is there, and can it be rearchitected around? * VPC endpoints instead of making API calls over the public internet? * GP3 vs. GP2 EBS volumes? * too many old snapshots sticking around * Are they using any S3 tiers other than the standard one? * modern instances classes vs. old ones * rightsizing with Compute Optimizer * rightsizing EBS volume size * are they using datacenter-like usage patterns (like querying an S3 API every second 24/7 for if a new file has showed up vs using a message bus) * transit gateways are expensive Finops tools: CUDOS and other CID dashboards Cost Anomaly detector Cost Categories/Budgets when paired with intelligent tagging strategies

As the person above said, that's base pay only. The only way to figure out actual total compensation is to look at levels.fyi and do some fuzzy math. Also depending on the market your total compensation may exceed or trail your comp target, which may get made up for with additional grants, which will be on a (2 year?) vesting schedule

These numbers are totally made up. OP gets hired when AMZN is at $100/share. If OPs total comp target is 200k, comprised of 150k base and 50k RSUs and then the share price takes a dive to $80/share, OP is not guaranteed an in-year vesting grant of RSUs to make up the shortfall. OP might be required to take it on the chin, because "we're all builders and when we build well, the market does well, and then your actual comp will exceed the TCT" If the market tanks right before a vesting date, OPs compensation may very well trail their TCT. If it stays down, they wont get a top off of RSUs to get them to hit their TCT until the next annual review (edit: or promo), and those RSUs will likely vest on a 2 year schedule.

Today I learned that if you try to cfn-lint a YAML template that has !!Ref in it (instead of the correct !Ref) everything blows up in spectacular fashion. Since I'm running python on Windows and not particularly good at it, this took me an hour to resolve and included multiple reboots, reinstalls, path changes, etc.

That should be enough. Sometimes arns or resource names can leak sensitive info if you're a corporation. Frequently account IDs are blurred out, even though they're not actually sensitive. Corey Quinn has a tweet somewhere of some aws exec definitively stating that account IDs shouldn't be considered sensitive. But it's usually done anyway.
