This probably needs a better link, but the AWS status page shows everything up.

UPDATE: Status page now shows it https://status.aws.amazon.com/#

https://stop.lying.cloud if you (like me) keep getting the order of the aws, amazon, and status confused.

Is this just a gimmick run by AWS and the "honest" in the logo is just a play on the host name, or is it some third-party version that adds information that AWS isn't reporting?

It's mine. It's an old Chrome extension shoved into a Lambda@Edge function that dynamically transforms the actual status page to cut out a lot of the "sea of green bubbles." I should look into updating it; it used to automatically upgrade the severity one level as well but AWS changed something.

https://gaslighting.me is the non-editorialized version.

Do you have a writeup of “porting a chrome extension to lambda” somewhere?

Third party obviously. Check whois.

The page footer says "© 2020, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved."

Does it add/edit any information, or is it just a proxy?

probably just cname.

The AWS status page misses lots of "bump in the night" outages.

Those statuses are updated by people (after bureaucracy and only with very high level approval), not by anything based in reality

That is super messed up. That is not how a status board should work.

Blame sla language and marketing

In addition to that it is also cached by CDN, so it takes a while to show up when there is an outage.

Amazon is sadly not the only company that works this way.

My default tends to be Ansible because it is really versatile and lightweight on the systems being managed. That versatility can bite you though because it's easy to use it as a good solution and miss a great one. Also, heaven help you if you need to make a change on 1000s of hosts quickly.

I also use (In order of frequency): Terraform, Invoke (Sometimes there is no substitute for a full programming language like python), Saltstack (1000's of machines in a heterogenous environment)

If I were going to deploy a new app on k8s today, I would probably use something like https://github.com/fluxcd/flux.

I haven't really had a pleasant time with the tooling around serverless ecosystem yet once you get beyond hello worlds and canned code examples.

> Also, heaven help you if you need to make a change on 1000s of hosts quickly.

Why? I would have seen that as Ansible's strong point.

It gets terribly slow and eats up literal 10s of gigabytes of RAM. Extensions like mitogen can help, though.

Re: performance: That's fair. I didn't realize it scaled that badly.

Re: mitogen: Thanks! I saw that once, a long time ago, but couldn't find it again. I'll have to try it; vanilla ansible is fine for me so far, but I'm hardly going to ignore a speed boost that looks basically free to implement.

Mitogen looks cool. I hadn't seen it thanks.

Are you referring to the "Invoke" Python library http://www.pyinvoke.org ? Would you please explain a bit about how you use it for deployments?

It’s not right for everyone, but I find IRCCloud to have a really low barrier to entry.

I agree, I see it as an extension of the work being done by people like Major Hayden to increase the amount of CI testing being done. https://www.slideshare.net/MajorHayden/continuous-kernel-int...

It looks like the window may be open until 12am CT. https://www.brownsvilleherald.com/news/local/starhopper-may-...

The people left at 7pm CT which the host said means a 1 hour minimum wait.

It's an unofficial stream, so no details from SpaceX.

ok, I'll pop back in an hour and see what happens.

One of the things companies like SUSE and RH provide is testing across a variety of expensive storage and compute platforms. It turns out that continuous integration testing is just getting started in kernel land. Major Hayden had a cool presentation at TXLF 19 about it.

Theory: The internet is really just a series of green tubes underground and the last earthquake knocked out the primary plumber named Mario.

My theory: The internet in fact IS a big truck, and it got a flat tire.

No. The internet is in a box and Jenn broke it.

Same from Dallas. The landing page is up, but when you try to view tweets you get the error.

Awesome, thanks.
