How do you test your monitoring?

In DevOps/SRE/Platform Engineering, we rely on observability. But validating alerts and dashboards usually means hacking configs or code.

What if you didn't have to?

What a long and exhausting day running wee:Invent aka @BelfAWSt_UG Community Day 2024

The speakers were amazing, attendees were engaged and full of energy plus Allstate did a fantastic job hosting us

I’m so full of joy for the future of the Belfast @awscloud community 🙌❤️

Great story telling skills by Simon Hanmer intriguing us with a mystery of disappearing #S3 keys.

I'm really enjoying video creation at the minute, but I promise I will get back to the blog posts. In the meantime, a new #youtube in my #CodeCatalyst series - "Mastering Environments in CodeCatalyst Projects"

My new video - apparently my new social media manager (i.e. my 12 year old) tells me it's cool to have your photo in the thumbnail, and to do talking heads 🤷‍♀️

Now I know what my parents felt like when they asked me to program the VCR.

Last week AWS sneaked out a real game-changer for all of us managing infrastructure.

Have a look at my video where I look at the new CloudFormation generator, share a few things to be aware of, and let you know if it's worth trying.

@theburningmonk and as far as I can see, the S3 Console and CLI haven't caught up yet - even after updates, I can enable the access grant mechanism

After my talk at the Edinburgh AWS user group about the things we learned whilst trying to produce a solution for this, it's a relief to see AWS have solved it for us.

@andysternberg It does, if you have one spare?

@RealPaulMurray If you want to share with someone stuck in the washed out Cairngorms?

I'll be talking about 'The mystery of the disappearing S3 Keys' at the #Edinburgh #awsusergroup on 4th October - still some spaces if it sounds interesting.
