Are you allowed to use the AWS logo on a site that is not owned by Amazon? I originally thought this was an official Amazon website...their lawyers would probably say the same thing...

“Allowed” is a funny thing.

I launched “Last Week in AWS” with AWS in the domain name seven years ago. AWS has never made an issue of it, though they obviously have that option.

I also have the option (and ownership) to migrate to “Last Week in the Cloud” and talk about their competitors, so it’s likely everyone is happier this way—but I confess to not kicking the bear hard enough to find out.

Prompt: how to connect a lambda function to an RDS instance and query it safely?

1. Configure your RDS instance for outbound connections to AWS Lambda. This step involves ensuring that your DB instance is in a public subnet on your VPC and that the instance's "PubliclyAccessible" property is set to true.

Prompt: What is glacier? Glacier is a term that is not directly mentioned in the provided sources. Prompt: What is a glacier? A glacier is a large mass of ice that moves slowly over time due to the accumulation of snow, ice, and other forms of frozen precipitation. Seems like it’s just using a general model?

It's definitely just using standard semantic search (otherwise you wouldn't be getting links). "What is glacier storage" gives you a great response.

It seems to know more than just AWS, I was thinking it was just embeddings but then I asked it “Is Aws better than azure?” And it seemed to give an answer which widener seem to be derived from the source documents.

I hate to be that guy. But what’s the purpose of this? What does this do that I can’t just do with ChatGPT?

Just use Phind.com for searching developer docs for most cases.

It’s probably because no one at AWS has heard of your little podcast or website /s

I’m sure you know that your name is brought up frequently inside AWS.

Maybe it could help them when designing APIs for new products to be consistent with previous design choices. But perhaps it's too late for that.

The thought that a bunch of people will trust this tool and make some terrible decisions is unsettling. On the other hand it could be pretty powerful if you know what you are doing.
