I used to buy these for my lunch when I worked at an airport. We had one of those laser thermometers - so I’d laze it until it got down to 112° before I put it in my mouth. Many mouth blisters were had to figure out the right temp 😂.

Canada’s only real viable hyperscaler is OVH, but hilariously it doesn’t belong to Canada - it is a French company. That said: OVH is a solid offering and their commitment to sustainable datacenter design (like their BHS facility) is something the rest of the industry should look into implementing.

Honestly, and even with N number of services, a book or PDF with “here are the most typical use cases and how to stand them up quickly” would be super valuable.

But, sadly, a cat ceases to function properly when its number of remaining lives is even and less than 5.

Ah yes, tools that intend to make our lives easier, but instead are needlessly complicated.

There’s another book like this called Sled Driver by Brian Schul. He was an SR-71 pilot. The pictures are absolutely amazing and the book is a fun read - it can be found for between $400 and like $10K. He died last year or the year before - so that number is probably higher now.

You can push container images to Lambda: docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/lates...
For the first year you get 500mb for free in the elastic container registry. If you don’t mind moving over to Google Cloud - CloudRun will do what you want mostly free. I think CloudBuild is cheap.

I wish Mariah Carey would have some crazy genre crossing phase, like if one day she woke up and was like “fuck it, we’re making a metal album!” then she goes on tour with Spitirbox to promote it. Imagine the intro to Dead Rose by Chelsea Grin, but MC belts it out instead. I’ll bet she can send it.

Excellent first choice! Single instance storage is important for workloads you might want to horizontally scale. Even just an NFS server would do the trick too!

I’m watching over a *massive* AWS fleet that run across like 100 accounts for a large org - among the accounts is a broadcast media stack which has web sockets absolutely everywhere. We require latency sensitive stuff like WS:// runs on compute instances or iron. AMA about devs deploying weird shit.

I really wish I could be there. Present responsibilities have me on the complete opposite side of the country. Hilariously I read Graviton like “Gravitron” - which is that fun UFO thing at the county fair where you stick to the wall.

Every time I send a deployment up to a k8s cluster I think of how Google used to call it Borg - so I then imagine that I’m sending a Borg drone back to the collective with that unsolvable puzzle from Star Trek TNG with the intent of recursion pacifying the collective.
