Yep - out of the country right now and get the same. VPN back home and it’s working. A bit annoying

If you’re running containers you’ll want some kind of container management - but I’ve been fine with ECS for running on AWS. It’s well integrated, standard enough , configurable vi…

So only organisations that have had an Oracle license audit are impacted?

See here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq52382zd1no.amp Octopus have started doing things like connecting properties in the north to cellular type meters (not supposed to) o…

SSO all the way (if you can). Chances are you've got Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 - both allow you to configure SAML based SSO into many SaaS apps either through their respect…

When I wrote the code that published that for Storengy UK around 4 years ago I never expected AGSI would get featured on HN. Strange world we live in.

That's pretty awful on Lastpass's behalf. 1Password does this much better - your account is frozen in such that you can't add new passwords or make changes, but you can still read …

Curious to see how this would be deployed in the wild. A sneaky way would be to add this as an extension to existing Lambdas - it could run in parallel any time such a Lambda is in…

>> There is a review phase of course and it's very important because it might do anything. Anybody who's had to use terraform can attest that it is scary to run. This is no worse t…

I'm not sure why you've had problems with Terraform trying to nuke things - I'd say the planning capability was one of its strong points. A quick glance at the plan will tell you w…

Unfortunately this is true - the Terraform AWS provider has thousands of PRs closed (and hundreds still open) as proof. Nevertheless, things seem to get support quicker in Terrafor…
