#QOTD: AWS Core Your team stores application logs in an S3 bucket. The logs are accessed frequently for the first 30 days, rarely touched between 30 and 90 days, and never accessed after 90 days. You are paying full S3 Standard pricing for everything. What is the most cost effective way to manage this automatically? A) Manually move files to cheaper storage tiers every month using a script. B) Enable S3 Intelligent Tiering and let AWS figure it out. C) Create an S3 Lifecycle Policy that transitions objects to S3 Standard IA at 30 days, Glacier at 90 days, and deletes them at 365 days. D) Copy the logs to an on premises server after 30 days to avoid S3 costs. #QOTD #AWS #CloudEngineering #SRE #CloudComputing

I'm documenting everything I learn about Cloud and AI. It's nothing fancy...just practical guides I wish I had when I started: → Setting up Claude Code with AWS Bedrock → Git workflows that actually make sense → Terraform patterns I use daily → AWS CLI commands I always forget Making it public because maybe it helps someone else... GitHub.com/SamuelTillman/… What do you keep in your personal knowledge base?

#QOTD: AWS Core Your team deploys a web application on EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer. Users in Europe are reporting slow load times, but users in the US have no complaints. The application is only deployed in us-east-1. You need to improve performance for international users without re-architecting the entire application. What is the most effective first step? A) Launch new EC2 instances in eu-west-1 and update your DNS manually. B) Enable Amazon CloudFront in front of the Application Load Balancer to cache content at edge locations closer to international users. C) Increase the instance size of your EC2 servers to handle the additional latency from overseas requests. D) Move the entire application to a multi-region active/active setup with Route 53 latency-based routing. Drop your answer below. Explanation in the comments tomorrow. #QOTD #AWS #CloudEngineering #SRE #CloudComputing

Don’t tell me you’re an @AWS “expert” if you can’t handle #IAM shit.

People ask me all the time about the #certs they should get, what skills they need, and where to start with #Cloud, #DevOps, or #SRE training. Then, I would tell them I'd put together a learning plan for them. Then, I'd never get it done. Then, I'd feel terrible about it. So, I finally sat down and did it. But not for one person, for everyone. It's called The Infrastructure & Operations Academy (infraopsacademy.com), 13 skill tracks, from foundations to advanced, all free or low cost. The courses come straight from the vendors we use every day. @awscloud teaches you #AWS. @HashiCorp teaches you #Terraform. @linuxfoundation teaches you #Linux. No middleman marking up #free knowledge. You don't need a $15,000 bootcamp. You really don't. Almost everything in this curriculum is #free. Full story on my blog here: samueltillman.com/posts/infra-op… Browse the academy here: infraopsacademy.com Fork and star the repo here: github.com/SamuelTillman/…

I wrote about running Claude Code through Amazon Bedrock. AI-powered DevOps without your data leaving AWS. Covers real SRE use cases: Terraform generation, CloudWatch log debugging, IAM troubleshooting, and automation scripts. If you live in AWS, this setup is worth a look. samueltillman.com/posts/claude-c… #AWS #Bedrock #ClaudeCode #DevOps #SRE #AI

The biggest thing separating Junior Engineers from Senior Engineers is time. There are no boot camps, classes, certifications or anything else that can replace doing shit for 10, 15, 20 or in my case, 25 years. You just gotta stay down til you come up!

There's a particular generation of man that sees this... and covets it. Still to this day. Despite not even being a Hornets fan. I am this man.

The @awscloud outage yesterday has spawned a bunch of #MultiCloud discussions… …and I’m calling bullshit, because I know for a fact that 95% of the folks making these posts have no clue how to make @awscloud , @Azure , and @googlecloud talk to each other.

So will we all stop dumping everything into US-East-1 now…. …or at least implement solutions that utilize multi-region deployments for high availability?
