Anybody using GuardDuty? How do your bills look like?

Hello, I have a question related to the different EC2 Terraform modules. Is it really needed to have 3 seperated modules for single instance, instance group and autoscaling? For me, it looks like ec2 group is just the ec2 module with a count. at the moment it looks hard to maintain all 3 modules 😞

In an ALB... DO I need to enable preserve mode ? I see it is disabled default

hey my ec2 instance has been stuck on this, anyone encountered this before

do you use spot instances ? do you know anything about pricing? will it increase and reach on demand in near future ?

is there any issue in aws ohio ?

Hi , we have multiple AWS accounts across multiple regions with Transit Gateways used for connectivity. Most of the times all works good. I am trying to troubleshoot a connectivity issue between two different ec2s placed in vpcs in the same account in different regions. Does not seem like connectivity works but from what I see all the route tables, TGW route tables TGW-to-TGW peering and security groups rules are place. Does anyone know of any methods on how to troubleshoot this kind of problem?

is there a way to autosync snapshots over regions? based on tag maybe. or all new is fine as well

Wondering if anyone has started w an approach for how to use and/or incorporate the Aurora Blue/Green deployments feature offered by AWS with existing Terraform projects that manage Aurora clusters?

do you use change manager for managing organization? E.g put approval process to creating/ deleting accounts, OU-s, assigning scp-s ... etc etc. Maybe for assigning the assume role to able to login to another account ?

Hello All,
I am using "aws ecs wait services-stable" in my CI/CD pipeline to wait for ecs service to be healthy and then make the Jenkins job successful. By default this command waits for 10 minutes to make the decision based on 2 parameter ( "maxAttempts": 40, & "delay": 15 sec ) . Is there any way to increase this timeout as there is no direct option provided by aws cli command. if anyone has any suggestion then Please let me know.

another question 🙂
with

create-db-cluster

can I specify a certificate to be used ? maybe created by amazon ?
if yes, then I could set a custom domain for rds and then without changing dsn I could change the endpoint

about aws backup. how can I set an aurora serverless backup to be backed up every hour? can I somehow set the backup windows to infinite ?

I can't spot the details on CloudFront object invalidation latency (cache flush) in the docs. Does anyone know what the performance profile on this action looks like?
Back in the day I remember finding POPs with latency in the 10s-100s of seconds of latency.

Hi all. Is there a way to find out which feature gates are enabled on EKS clusters?


AFAI was able to see, feature gates are not configurable with EKS. But I was wondering how to find out which of them are enabled. I found this in the docs

"The feature gates that control new features for both new and existing API operations are enabled by default."

Does that mean that we can assume all features gates that control new features are enabled? 😄 I know I just repeated what it says but maybe someone can confirm or correct it.

Hi everyone, I have a CloudFormation infrastructure repo, What's the best way to delivery (deploy/update/delete) the stack from the git repo to AWS CloudFormation service.
