Clap de fin pour @OxidTelecom ! 10 ans après, notre petit village a bien rattrapé son retard sur l’accès à Internet, passant de l’ADSL 512 kbps à la fibre 8 Gbps.

Entre les deux, une belle aventure et de chouettes rencontres qui ont assurément changé ma vie. Onwards!

#awswishlist Lambda concurrency limits that do not reserve account concurrency.

Would prevent many useless concurrency quota increase requests :-)

@louisgrasset @amazon Si tu ajoutes « &rh=p_6%3AA1X6FK5RDHNB96 » à l’URL des résultats de recherche, ça affiche seulement les produits vendus par Amazon et c’est beaucoup (beaucoup) mieux :) (même si ça ne change rien au fond du problème)

IPv6 support for VPC Lambdas was something many folks were eagerly awaiting, so VPC and Lambda teams are really excited about getting this into customers hands:

My Mac has been brew-, npm- and pip- free for the last two years, and I think it's beautiful🥰

Why & how: https://t.co/TZc4pvK0ul

@der_rehan Just discovered your very cool project thanks to @QuinnyPig! Congrats, for that and the other thing☺️

I think the cost is even lower than estimated as there seems to be a small typo on line 46 of the spreadsheet (would be $807 total for 10M views rather than $1288)

Just renewed that sweet #AWS Certified Solutions Architect Pro badge!

FWIW, the new C02 exam seems slightly harder than the previous one

Les utilisateurs de @Velib font plus de 100 000 trajets par jour dans la métropole de #Paris. Mais où vont-ils ? Pour le savoir en temps réel, j'ai fabriqué une carte : https://t.co/zpjHl6avE7

Oh wow, this is a huge QOL improvement for using Lambda with SQS. 👏👏

You can control the max concurrency *at the event source* rather than just at the Lambda level.

Prevents sending messages to DLQ just b/c you were limiting downstream system.

@fduran I finally got around to try SadServers and found it very entertaining, well done! Bet you could make a nice product out of it, either for learning or interviewing 😉 I'll definitely recommend it to Ops newcomers until then

I've been playing with Cloudflare Workers lately, and must say it's quite delightful.

The result: https://t.co/0mWg2t0Wwu, a small serverless tool to measure the TTFB for any URL from 25+ datacenters worldwide!

@kangadac @colmmacc I guess this mostly applies to human IAM users. If a user/org isn’t using SSO yet, chances are that those credentials are
1/ highly privileged
2/ used in such a way that they have a tendency to spread over time (to multiple codebases, tools, workstations, etc.)

Function URLs & larger ephemeral storage in Lambda, central account closure in Organizations (a true blessing)... #AWS is ticking things off from my wish-list at an amazing rate right now!

[Eric Johnson @edjgeek]

Hey #serverless this is a HUGE one. Lambda Function URLs. The simplest way to add a public endpoint to a Lambda function. Simply check the box, and configure the CORS. Read more here -> https://t.co/c89YvgDuhO

Today on Intercom's blog I wrote about the lessons we learned while building out Intercom in Europe: https://t.co/QzS1newbAu
1. Just start building – fast
2. Stick to your principles
3. Bend the rules when you need to
4. Keep work as local as possible
5. Keep timelines flexible

[Yann Pretot ☁️ @yapret]

@KilianPoulinTW Seems right up my alley! My plate’s a bit full at the moment, but maybe we could work something out. DMs open :)

[Yann Pretot ☁️ @yapret]

@icesofty Qui m'a fait découvrir JustMandala, c'est super chouette, merci :)

[Yann Pretot ☁️ @yapret]

@fuolpit Very little, surprisingly. Org contact@ are a different story though 🥲
