@ben11kehoe Considering that the connection is getting in through what I’m going to assume is a decently-configured security group, I wouldn’t be surprised. Now to construct a test…

[Geoff Baskwill @geoff_baskwill]

@ben11kehoe Need to read up on this “RDS” you speak of 🙂 hmm I wonder if this would allow you to bypass IAM policies checking source VPC on API requests.

[Geoff Baskwill @geoff_baskwill]

@marknca @AWSSecurityInfo So true! No waiting at 0800 this morning 😂

[Geoff Baskwill @geoff_baskwill]

@ben11kehoe I expect you are right. My only justification is expressed best by XKCD. https://t.co/RnomTWyyIy

[Geoff Baskwill @geoff_baskwill]

@ben11kehoe You think of the most interesting things 🙂 Feels like a breaking change to have lifetime change opaquely. Can’t think of a reason other than the ones you listed.

[Geoff Baskwill @geoff_baskwill]

@mobob Weeps in YYYY-MM-DD

[Ben Kehoe @ben11kehoe]

A good reason to poke @CaitShim once again for an API to read the account name from within an account. (call it organizations.DescribeThisAccount). IAM account aliases are a poor substitute for it. #awswishlist

[Geoff Baskwill @geoff_baskwill]

@mobob Whoa now.

[Mark Nunnikhoven @marknca]

[Geoff Baskwill @geoff_baskwill]

@jbesw Thank you! Looking forward to checking this out.

[Geoff Baskwill @geoff_baskwill]

@alexbdebrie Not this year, I am still pretty shy about events. Managed to do re:Inforce and that was more my speed these days, but I know the real fun is always at re:Invent. Hope lots of people catch your talks live, I know they will be on my watchlist!

[Geoff Baskwill @geoff_baskwill]

This is *the* book to read about DynamoDB, and the extra material in the premium package is absolutely worth it. Our teams have been way more productive after reading this book, 12/10 stars.

The 5-day, 40-hour work week is a human invention.

100 years ago, many leaders demanded longer hours over 6 days. Then they learned people were more effective working less.

We've made little progress since the 1980s. It's time to shorten the work week.

no but you don't understand, I tricked some really cool people into being mutuals on here idk how to do it again elsewhere

[Andrew Certain @tacertain]

Good thread. I'll add one more thing. As an engineer, you have your hands on the keyboard. Make things better *while* working on those features. Add time in your estimates for it, if you need cover. You have all the power. Stop asking for permission.

AWS CloudFormation now supports accounts, OUs, and policies from AWS Organizations. Now you can easily manage your organization using IaC as stacks in CloudFormation @AWSCloudFormer.

popular opinion: don't let people who make statements using "all" and "no exceptions" anywhere near your engineering decisions

[Geoff Baskwill @geoff_baskwill]

A little bit thrilled and a little bit scared that I managed to convert a DynamoDB CreateTable from Go SDK call to CLI command first try. What is happening to me?
