wow! so cool.

deadlines, what a bummer. 😀

I'll poke around a bit. Most of my customers now require endpoints, so I generally deploy them.

Do you happen to have a documentation link you can share? I'm interested in the endpoint piece of this.

100% agree, I'll spend my money elsewhere.

So strange, I had a friend just tell me yesterday they were loving grok and had used it to build an entire application.

never tried it myself. Claude Code has been really working well for me.

So I did a quick test. Nothing in VPC flow logs, and I don't have SSH allow rules in my SG configuration. I do see the request in CloudTrail.

I knew that Minecraft server would come in handy for things other than Minecraft! 😀

I use SSM all the time, and never considered this. I tend to use CloudTrail to look for connections. I know how I'm spending my Sunday! 😀

I can, and it's fantastic! Lotus 123 - come on 👍

I've been leaning into context more and relying less on 'vibe-coding' recently. Wow, what a difference!

Where the heck did the time go?!

Seven years helping folks figure out how to leverage the AWS platform for their businesses.

This is my brain 🧠 while attempting to multitask ... oof.

Thanks! I need to spend some time working on something similar.

Obsidian + second brain + Q ... you're speaking my language. Care to share details on how you did this?

I'm pretty sure I'd be lost without my Obsidian vault.

Sometimes, no matter what you do, things just don’t go your way — even when you’re livestreaming (looking at you, audio gremlins 👿 ).

The good news? Even when things don’t go as planned, there’s always a quiet win hiding somewhere. I did end up with a great diagram!

Keep building. Keep learning.

“We’re just swapping Cloudflare for CloudFront. Should be easy, right?”

This week’s project involved migrating DNS, caching rules, and WAF policies — and trying to avoid waking the dragon.

Happy Friday!

CloudFormation deployment bug last week:
✅ Fix = adding a comment to force redeploy 😅

This is why I always use change sets—especially for production.

Generative AI (GenAI) 's rapid evolution has transformed how we approach software development. Recently, I leveraged GenAI to help me create 🕵️ VPC Detective.

love it!

Not all AWS costs come from bad decisions. Some just come from... silence.

A customer recently got hit with a surprise bill—hundreds of dollars tied to unused EBS volumes left in the “available” state. Not attached, not used—just quietly burning cash.

So I built a simple 💬 ChatOps solution 💬

In this quick clip from a recent livestream, I break down how VPC Lattice authorization works in AWS—and how you can think about its layered policies using a... VPC Lattice Authorization Explained with a Simple Security Analogy (NACLs vs. Security Groups)

I’ve been using this analogy lately to explain VPC Lattice auth policies:
✅ Network-level policies = NACLs
✅ Service-level policies = Security Groups

It’s a layered security model. More power, more complexity.

Looks 'fun' :) I want to know more about the iPad stuck to the wall.

Managing AWS environments across multiple accounts and regions can be complex, especially when it comes to documenting VPC configurations. I often need to get this information quickly for customers, so I developed 🕵️ VPC Detective.
