For the first SOC2, I don't hold this against a startup (I appreciate they are going through the efforts this early). Would want to see it become 6 month/1 year as the program matures. A vendor like this is low risk (aggregator of "public" information, limited data sharing, etc).
I have all sorts of issues with Vanta/Drata "compliance as a service" tools, but adequate for something like this, at this point in time.
You've done a great job proving it yourself - despite only consuming 2000 calories, you were still gaining weight. Unless you weren't counting anything aside from soylent (drinking, snacks, etc) you were past your maintenance consumption.
You're charging people to manage their environments (providing expertise) and complaining about needing to develop additional skills to do so efficiently.
If you have the data with price/performance comparisons, I'd think this is something the rest of us would be interested in.

That is a straw man argument. AWS isn't the only way to efficiently manage infrastructure, and it can be argued it isn't even efficient, full stop.
Your making value decisions based on expertise in your existing delivery methods and trying to map them 1-1 to aws features, that may or may not map 1-1. You keep disparaging aws' pricing (stupidly expensive, serious premium), without providing an alternative/baseline.
Again, if you have numbers and not broad statements we'd appreciate them.

eh, no. You have no idea about my areas of expertise, what features I require, or how I map them, or what I map them to, so you cannot make this kind of statement (well, you can, and you did, but it is a fallacy).
you have numbers and not broad statements we'd appreciate them.
I'm sure you do. Doing what I do today in terms of functional parity, but doing it on AWS, will work out roughly 2.5 times more expensive, and will not gain me any additional features or functionality, and will leave me with about two-thirds of reduction in overall performance against metrics that are of interest to me. Also "we"? You speak for others? Who are the "we" that have appointed you as their speaker?
You started with general pricing arguments with hostile language without providing numbers to support - making generalizations without that data is useless, right? How is a reader supposed to take those statements? It leads to using your experience statement (I offer high performance, managed, HA hosting to selected clients) to make judgements on the comment.
The we should be anybody bothering to read this comment chain - who wouldn't be interested in seeing AWS' lack of value in your use case / competitors that succeed? Having done migrations to and from AWS for past employers, this would definitely interest me in the least.
I apologise if this comes across as an ad-hominem, but you sound like my ex-wife: you keep talking about how I say things, and keep ignorning the actual content of my comments. So, I'll do the same with you as I did with her - goodbye! :)
That's one example and matches a use case where AWS / "Cloud" providers may not be ideal. Hybrid setups with external CDN can mitigate some of this as well.
The new Macbook Pros come with similar resolutions:
13" Macbook pro: 2560-by-1600 native resolution at 227 pixels per inch
15" Macbook pro: 2880-by-1800 native resolution at 220 pixels per inch
14" x1 carbon: 14.0" (355mm) WQHD (2560x1440), anti-glare (209.8 PPI)
I have the Developer edition of the older 13 - its a 13" display in closer to an 11" form. The 13" and 15" have really tiny bezels to hit their dimensions, with the new 15.6" being 14" wide.
The 13" developer edition was close enough to perfect for me with the 1920x1080 display, battery life takes a hit with the 4k screens. Getting a 15" this time around, but expect delays on the developer edition, they usually launch a few months after the regular 15" while they sort new drivers.
We started using Vault in our Docker infrastructure for storing sensitive configuration data, and I've since migrated to using Vault for a hell of a lot more. It really is a great piece of software.
So I've recently reimplemented some of our applications service dependencies in docker for the main reasons of mitigating dependency issues and allowing for for developer local consistency.
I fully admit this is deferring solving these issues fully (solr 1.4.1 really?) but it has allowed for minimizing the issues the existing backlog was causing us. Arguably its also brought more consistency to our environments vs the chef/puppet/hand rolled management tools. We could have used these tools with a different process to achieve similar results though.
Yeah, I totally get it - I realized I'm a hypocrite when I posted this; just a few weeks ago I put a custom build environment together with an obscure version of gcc because I'm dealing with some code that depends on some of those "bugs".
I just don't think it's healthy to embrace this as an alternative to proper maintenance.
I'll try and keep an eye out for the blog post - I'm working with building a CD pipeline w/ jenkins, docker, and node to Beanstalk, and I'm sure we're doing things inefficiently.
You've probably seen it but for Elastic Beanstalk there is now a multi container version which uses ECS under the hood. Previously there was a limitation of 1 container per VM.
You may want to take it up with his publisher(s), as all books authored by him on amazon have 'Knausgaard' as the spelling. I imagine if it was an issue to him (which is the only person I'd be worried about it offending) it would have been addressed before now?
Edit: I would add that I'd like to know more about how cases like this would be handled automatically - account lookup would need to find both spellings depending on how it was entered? Are the extended characters allowed in usernames? I've seen forum confusion where accounts were spoofed by slightly off unicode letters, ex. 'Α' (Greek U+0391) and 'A' (Latin, U+0041).
