I'm curious what other peoples realworld workflows are like. For instance, do you work from a text editor editing cloudformation templates and then run an aws cli command on your laptop? Do you have an ssh bounce host? Do you use the web interface on a day to day basis? How do you really deeply browse/survey/crawl an account to make sure you haven't accidentally left some rds instances running in brazil for a month?

thank you. I guess I don't even mean as much from a cost perspective as a "sprawling long tail mess" perspective. every AWS account I've inherited or jumped into has been riddled with things like s3 buckets nobody knows if they're still in use, iam roles likewise, lambda functions with similar names from when they were trying to get it working, etc etc. how do you ride herd on this stuff programatically? like I've been trying to clean out my account and start from scratch (its just for labs anyway) and a week later i'm still stumbling on little things in random corners from years ago (ssh keys you've long lost), and I was never even a really active user. is there like an "aws dump all" or an "aws reset account to scratch --dry-run" type way of auditing all the things? (not in like a logs/security audit but in like a dead-code-path audit sense).

if you were launching a node app today: ec2 instances, elastic beanstalk, or ecs?

Startyde posted:Devops is just sysadmins that got tricked into release engineering but accidentally the whole infrastructure. It’s burn out zone staff reduction. I think we will see the sysadmin->devops pattern play out through the not-tech economy over the next decade or two as "automation" crosses over into the physical world. Its not going to take peoples jobs, its going to squeeze the ever living gently caress out of them for a decade first. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym64NFCWORY quote:The coming bubble pop and rush back to the warm bosom of CapEx and colos is going to be thunderous.

start here: https://acloud.guru/learn/aws-certified-cloud-practitioner after that they should still probably do one of the 'associate' level courses that come next, but for $100 everyone can just start with 'practitioner' and try to plow through it before the end of the quarter.

the halfassed way is you take the acloudguru video courses and you just don't go back through them a second/third time when you score lovely on the mock tests, and then you don't take the real test. its the same videos/labs either way.

move your postgres db to an rds instance with 2x the power of your home machine then put your python code on an ec2 instance with 2x the power of your home machine run it as-is, see how you like it. did it get 4x faster? probably not, but at least now you can look at some graphs and see which side was bottlenecking. there's a hojillion things you can do from there but anything beyond the above is getting ahead of yourself oh and make sure to turn the instances off when you're done.

this is out of my rear end but i base it on the 80/20 rule, aka 4:1 your hire your first four devs and then one person who's a 'backend type' thats also handling the infra poo poo then you hire your next four devs and your first "devops" person then you hire your next 8 devs and a pair of SREs then your next 16 devs and an architect, a security person, a manager, and jr sre/devops type. after that... well gently caress if I know, usually you just dive straight into fulltime middle managmeent meeting fest stalemates by then.

keep in mind that only works if the dev side are the first tier for the oncall rotation and they're reasonably self disciplined about "don't add a new loving toy for every project" engineering. edit: vv 100% agree, aggregate saas and paas solutions as much as possible before you touch iaas StabbinHobo fucked around with this message at 21:45 on Dec 11, 2018 |

Cancelbot posted:Architectural one - We had an argument today of whether or not we should have environment based transit. For context: the developers have to provision a "mainline", "staging" and "live" environment by having a VPC for each per region they want to be in (so more often than not teams end up with 6 VPCs for 2 region redundancy) this adds headaches as theoretically it also means a pair of VPN tunnels per VPC-Region if they want to hit our on-premise infrastructure and a hell of a lot of NAT gateways. if you do this please tag the vpc "area: 0"

if you're ever bored, this talk about how aws vpc networking works is really good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd5hsL-JNY4 its mad old now, but like its basically the step by step story of "why we had to do this and how we did it"

if you're starting greenfield on a single-aws-account setup whats the right ci/cd pipeline setup for IaC/cloudformation work? i'm amazed at how many half baked blog posts from 2017 there are and then... nothing.

the only useful info in those answers was "hasn’t changed for like 3 years" (and therefore I should probably just follow the old blog posts).
