For this year's Halloween, I'm going to yolo (aka vibe code) a critical piece of our infrastructure and push it directly to AWS without testing.

On a Friday afternoon. 🎃

#halloween #spooky #vibecoding #awsfail #fridaydeploy

The #DDoS on masto.host was pushed by #Amazon to try and flip the narrative on their catastrophic #AWS failure, to try and get back at all the smug #Fediverse users that were celebrating their instances still being accessible in the generalized downtime caused by the #AWSFail.

(This is obviously a joke, but when it comes to putting all the eggs in one basket remember that a large swath of the Fediverse isn't a much better position.)

Weil wir ja immer noch nach dem ultimativen Killerargument fuer mehr digitale Souveraenitaet suchen... Ich glaube ich habs.

Wenn das nicht zieht, dann weiss ich auch nicht mehr 😎

"it seems that the talent who understood the deep failure modes is gone. [New] teams lack the institutional knowledge needed to [prevent incidents or] reduce the time to…recovery. …AWS' operational strength was built on redundant, experienced people, and when you cut…things start breaking." #awsfail

I guess we need to stop calling this stuff "smart" www.dexerto.com/entertainmen... #aws #awsfail hat tip @eikonos.bsky.social

AWS doing its Y-axis thing (unfixed for many years). #awsfail

Screenshot of chart from AWS ECS service health panel, "Memory utilization", showing Minimum, Average, and Maximum traces in Blue, Orange, and Green, on a charcoal, dark mode background.

The Y axis is labelled 10.2 (top), 10.1 (midddle), and 9.96 (bottom). In other words, the memory is fluctuating by < 2% despite the mountainous looking graph.

Basically misleading, at a glance.

#aws #awsfail #python No kidding:

Screenshot of htop display on a Linux server, showing about 32 processes dispatched by GNU parallel. Each process is running a single aws s3 rm (which happens to allow spec of only a single object anyway). The machine is pegged at 100% x 8 cores.

I was stunned when I first saw this diagram and it hasn't changed in the months/years since they rolled it out, but then they never fix anything bsky.app/profile/symb... #aws #awsfail #awsconsole #ux

Where is the adult supervision at AWS? Why would you _deliberately_ obfuscate the connections when you have about eleventy million pixels you could use to clarify them? Typical #awsFail #ux

Screenshot of AWS Console showing the VPC "resource map".

Left column: Subnets
Middle column: Route tables
Right column: Network connections

There are lines drawn (with curved corners! futuristic) between subnets and route tables, and between route tables and network connections (gateways). However, the lines are all the same grey colour and run over each other, so it's impossible to read how they are actually connected. (Unless you hover.)
