We are exploring using #AWS #AWSSSM as an SSH Tunneling solution to a VPC so our users can connect directly to our data warehouse for desktop applications like QGIS and pgAdmin/DBeaver. (ports 22 & 5432 are blocked corporately)

How can we stress test that this would work for the day-to-day work of ~20 people? The documentation about limits is very.... Amazon.

ETA: we have to use AWS in this scenario. Please don't suggest otherwise.

Not upgrading all the SQS code using boto.sqs.Message to boto3 has finally bitten me on the ass as boto just doesn't work on Python 3.12 which is what I'm moving to.

And I'm moving it because 3.7 has become the 2.7 of Python 3. Whilst I originally targeted 3.9 that is slipping away too.

There is a lot of SQS going on, not just pipelining but logging. The logging is kind of Schroedinger logging as I don't bother with it unless I need to. #AWS #APIs

Trying to set up a project on #Azure to test #AI models, whether #OpenAI on Azure or other open source models. I thought #AWS's dashboard was byzantine, frustrating, and aggravating. Now there's a new leading candidate for user-hostile interfaces.

Who designs and builds this? Do they use it?

Why does it let me deploy a model, but then I can't use it because inexplicably it either deploys under Azure AI Foundry instead of Azure OpenAI, or in swedencentral instead of useast? I'm in neither

Cloud migration converts universities “from being a source of technical innovation and knowledge distribution to consumers of services”—a fundamental shift that undermines academic independence and transforms knowledge-producing institutions into service-consuming clients.

What exactly are egress fees, and why should you care?

Because transferring 10TB of data with AWS could cost you over $1000.

With Internxt S3, it’s free, no extra charges, just secure storage.
