IAM, OIDC, KMS, CloudTrail... AWS security alphabet soup.
Here's what each actually does, why you need it, and how it compares to the #Linux tools you already know. 
This is a followup on AWS fundamentals for biomedical research: https://nskm.xyz/posts/aws-2-3/ #AWS #Security 🤔

Lmao. Gen AI is causing outages at AWS and Amazon causing business income loss. So now all AI created code needs senior developers to check it twice. So how is this saving time? #ai #llm #aws
"Amazon plans to address a string of recent outages, including some that were tied to AI-assisted coding errors"
> Amazon said in a statement at the time that the outage was the result of “user error” and not AI
Translation: "It's not AI if there was a human somewhere that clicked on the 'vibecode this for me' button". 🤡

Oh no, again? Who could have seen it coming?!
Narrator: anyone could have seen it coming.
Also, this is a new thing, not the old thing reported on a few weeks ago:

Die zerbrechlichen Ketten der Bequemlichkeit
Ein Plädoyer für die digitale Emanzipation Europas
Wir haben unsere digitale Freiheit gegen Komfort eingetauscht. Microsoft, Amazon, Google und Meta bestimmen, wie wir kommunizieren, arbeiten und denken. Der CrowdStrike-Schock war kein Unglück, er war eine Ansage. Es ist Zeit, die Ketten zu sprengen. Ein Plädoyer für die digitale Emanzipation Europas. [Mehr lesen...]

In the ongoing bizarreness that is #aws I closed my account, because why not. They then charge me for WAF, which I don't remember setting up. Or even know what that is.
I try to log into my account and get a blank warning box, I assume because I tried to close it.
So in the email I click the billing link and hey! I can get it, not so closed then?
I'm being charged daily for WAF, so I click on WAF to see what it is - get a "you closed your account" message. Thanks Amazon.
I'm now in a very strange limbo where my closed account is being charged daily for a service I have no idea about, I can't cancel, and can't access.
Time to face the ah, support, situation.
Age verification for OS installation.
This law was written and passed by people who have no idea how computers or the internet works.
Gavin Newsom should be repeatably kicked in the nuts, run out of town covered in tar and feathers for signing this.
Easy - Windows, Mac, Stock Android (Google).
Hard / Impossible - Linux, legacy OS, Smart Devices, Automation aka Cloud formation? Am I to tell my clients that if they scale up new OS on the fly that each needs to be ID verified?
Very Impossible - Hardware / Low Level OS (network gear, IoT devices, medical devices). You need a local account setting up a Cisco router or switch.
What about air gaped / no internet situations? Would I be prevented from installing an OS if I do not have the internet?
I have a Proxmox cluster full of VMs and containers in my basement. Do I need to get ID verified for each LXC container that has a user account?
What about the rest of the world? So fucking stupid and myopic.

Die Auswirkungen der aktuellen Eskalation im Nahen Osten sind jetzt auch in der Cloud angekommen. ☁️ Zwei Rechenzentren von Amazon Web Services in den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten wurden direkt von Drohnen getroffen.

happy "our cloud was hit by rockets and nobody can access anything, not even the vendor" day to those who celebrate
Reduced one of my clients' AWS bills by $1,300/month. That's over $15k no longer going into Jeff Bezos' pocket every year!
I'd love to help more companies and organizations with this. If you know anyone that could benefit, feel free to pass my contact info along to them.

So, hubby and I have been pouring over what is known about the #datacenter that's planned for #SanfordME . We figured out where it's going to go (New Dam Road along the #MousamRiver). And the mystery corporation is none other than #AWS - #AmazonWebServices!
New Details Emerge on Proposed Southern Maine #DataCenter
Local officials and project stakeholders to appear before state lawmakers on Thursday.
Published on Feb. 22, 2026
Excerpt: "A proposed Amazon Web Services data center in Sanford, Maine has new details emerging, including the location along the #MousamRiver and plans for independent power generation using a mixture of solar, battery storage, and fuel cells. The project is slated to be 'islanded' from the broader electrical grid, according to state Sen. Matt Harrington. Stakeholders, including Sanford officials and the developer, are expected to appear before the Legislature's Energy, Utilities and Technology Committee on Thursday."

Thread 1/3
Mein AG aus #eu verdient Geld mit #aws #gcp und #azure, ist voll #microsoft Arschkriecher und rät auch noch zu der #spyware verdient am #windows11 rollout.
Intern sind wir im Falle von #ai Nutzung dazu angehalten, unseren "eigenen" Chatbot zu nutzen, der auch nur eine hauseigene WebUI vor #openai #chatgpt in einem Azure Tenant ist. Weil der spioniert ja nicht unsere Geschäftsgeheimnisse aus, das normale ChatGPT oder der #copilot in Windows schon.
Geht's noch #amazon #aws ?
Ein #KI Tool baut Mist, und ihr deklariert es als Benutzerfehler wegen falscher Berechtigungen?
Gleichzeitig wäre es ein Fehler der so auch einem Menschen passieren könnte. In dem Fall wäre dann der Mensch schuld?
Ich denke, ihr macht es euch zu einfach mit der Verantwortung von KI Entscheidungen.
Amazon's vibe-coding tool Kiro reportedly vibed too hard and brought down AWS
｢ The service was designed to avoid the pitfalls that have already plagued other AI-enhanced development tools, such as wiping an entire hard drive partition or deleting a database.
However, Kiro reportedly opted to "delete and recreate the environment" that led to the outage in late 2025 ｣

Hi, I’m Mark. Glad you’re here.
I work in #PlatformEngineering and #SoftwareEngineering, after a long stretch in #Perl and now deep into #Go, #Docker, #Kubernetes, and #AWS. I like systems that behave, tools that justify their existence, and explanations that don’t waste anyone’s time.
https://PhoenixTrap.com is where I #blog about the engineering side of that: production, clarity, and the discipline required to build things that hold up under pressure.
I’m also an #Objectivist, which for me means treating ideas as tools for living, not ornaments.
https://TheBeautifulPrison.com is where I explore — through #fiction and #essay #writing — the philosophical side: consciousness, identity, boundaries, and what happens when a self is tested. If you’re curious about the deeper themes behind my posts, that’s the place to look.
Outside of work and writing, you’ll see #BassGuitar, conventions like #DragonCon, and the occasional bit of structured nonsense.
This #Mastodon instance is #SelfHosted because I like owning my infrastructure and my identity; it keeps the whole thing honest.
If something I say sparks a thought, feel free to reply. I enjoy good conversations — especially the kind where two people are actually trying to understand each other.
Pull up a chair.

Habt ihr schon mitbekommen, dass deepl nun auch die Amazon Cloud für Ihre Bezahluser benutzt?
Als Kundin habt ihr am 9.1. eine Info-Email auf English bekommen.
Gutes Timing in Zeiten des US-Faschismus die Daten der Übersetzungen nun auch außerhalb des Europ. Wirtschaftsraums zu bearbeiten... 👎

My plan as of now is to post once a day and hold myself accountable. My end of February I WANT to have an AWS Machine Learning Engineer certificate. That is my #1 priority.
Not as high as a priority but I also want to continue and learn 2 other courses.
- PyTorch course
- Data Science course

Had the email this morning confirming that our new corporate overlords "do not permit" the use of Linux and that I'm being moved to a Macbook so old it won't even drive all my displays. So I am officially on the job market.
