When AWS Strikes Back

No, this isn’t the scaling talk. And no, it’s not another rant about AWS being slow. It’s about the screw-ups that (probably) every AWS user hits sooner or later. A handful of short war stories: Cognito admin password reset, NLB not supporting UDP, cost optimizations, RabbitMQ replication across AZ, EC2 reservations, RDS restores, AWS Secrets KMS, the four-eyes principle, and more. All the f…ups that come with running a system keeping IoT-connected batteries alive on AWS.
