How I learned to stop worrying and love chaos (Engineering) The AWS Developers Podcast · Episode

Back in April I was lucky enough to speak at the #AWSSummit in London. I was also invited to record an episode of the #AWSDeveloperPodcast talking about #resilience, #ChaosEngineering and #AWS #FaultInjectionService.

The episode went live today - open.spotify.com/episode/1zp9... .

Chaos in the Cloud: A look at chaos engineering and Amazon's Fault Injection Service When I first started developing, we wrote huge, monolithic applications either running locally on our...

Over the holidays, I finally got the chance to do some blogging - first is an article with an overview of chaos engineering and how Amazon's Fault Injection Service can provide a managed approach to this. This is the first of a set of articles - next, we'll look at how to test various services.

As we get closer to year end and the festive break, finally finding time to add some videos of my presentations and workshops to my website https://buff.ly/4gj8IUV

I've been guilty of only quoting the first one - whilst it's important, the complete message has so much more impact

S3 must be the largest worldwide storage system, with regular updates to bring new functionality such as the new tables announced this week, but you never see announcements that it'll be unavailable for an hour due to an upgrade, and how often do you see outages, or significant issues. 2/2

It's great to see S3 getting so much love in the CTO keynote at re:Invent. I've spoken about it several times this year, and after one presentation, someone asked me what I thought about S3. 1/2

Reflecting on a fantastic day at the AWS Community Day in Belfast, where I presented. Recordings are now on their YouTube channel, so catch my session at https://buff.ly/3OCoLk. Don't just visit for my talk though; all event sessions are accessible at https://buff.ly/3ZCdA1x.

Devops Playground FIS & Lambda Update A while back, we ran a workshop looking at how we can use Amazon's Fault Injection Service (FIS) to perform chaos engineering.The day before the workshop, AW...

I recently ran a workshop on Amazon's #FaultInjectionService. Just before, AWS introduced a new feature for testing Lambda with FIS, which I couldn't cover.

I've now prepared an update, complete with a guide available at https://buff.ly/3B2guU1 and the code at https://buff.ly/4gjRS80.

Last week I ran a hands-on workshop looking at the AWS Fault Injection Service, which is a chaos engineering tool.

The recording is available at https://buff.ly/3CihgMT and the code we used in the workshop is at https://buff.ly/4hFIX2r

List of AWS Community Builders I could find on bsky. Follow them if you are interested in AWS and cloud related topics.

If you are a Community Builder and you want to be part of the list, hit me up, and I will add you.

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"

Amazon S3 server access logging now supports automatic date-based partitioning

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.

Excellent thanks so much

Luc, loving this - couldn't see a feedback option on the site, so hope you don't mind me sharing via bluesky.

Would be great if the filtering could also differentiate between news & blog so could only see news or blogs.

Thanks - just found out animated GIFs don't work here, or at least not for me.

After months on the waiting list, finally got a @bsky.app invite. #helloworld
