When you are Amazon employee and accidentally deleted half of internet because of S3

So apparently the Amazon S3 outage happened because of one setting being wrong in a looooong string of commands issued to shut down just a few servers.

Am I the only Linux user who totally gets how that could happen to just about anyone regardless of how awesomely competent they might be?

When you mount Amazon S3 as filesystem...

When you mount an Amazon S3 filesystem...

Brace yourselves, Amazon S3 memes/rants are coming! :D

Meanwhile, over at google cloud

It's kinda funny how when Amazon S3 is having an issue the internet is virtually unusable.

When amazon s3 is down but you get blamed for the website being broken 😤

So at the old job, i needed support for an issue relating to Amazon S3. We used a third party Python plugin for sending files to our buckets, but had some pretty severe performance issues when trying a 2-way sync.
Naturally, I sought help on StackOverflow, and was asked to share my config. Without much thought, I pasted the config file.
Next comment made me aware that our API id and key was listed in this config (pretty rediculous to keep such private info in the same file as configuration, but oh well).
I edited my question and removed the keys, and did not think about the fact that revisions are stored.

Two weeks later, my boss asks me if I know why the Amazon bill is for 25.000$ when it used to be <100$ 😳

I've never been so scared in my life. Luckily, Amazon was nice enough to waive the entire fee, and I leaned a little about protecting vital information

How ironic

"Amazon AWS S3 outage is breaking things for a lot of websites and apps"

Now my client does not want to rely on Amazon S3 because of the One Outage that it ever had a couple what weeks ago I forgot already. So my dumbass blurts out well we could always just back up to some other image or file storing website. But now I'm expected to implement this right away when I really haven't thought about it at all I mean I would have to write some sort of failover and some sort of daily or syncing mechanism. I guess I should forget about any direct upload to S3 code that I have written. Really I guess I have to wrap all of the image and file handling stuff with my own solution. Which actually that will be very nice when it is done and I could use this on other projects but it's quite a lot of work for something that I don't feel we really need at this stage in development. Just because you're using stuff on production that has am enormous red TEST label in the way of the ui doesn't mean i can code bullet proof software any faster

Downloading from amazon s3 with the such amazingly fast speeds as 25.96 kB/s

Around 7 months ago,me and my friend started working for a startup as interns. it was work from home internship. they first told us to research about CDN and study about RESTapi. when we finished with that they told us to make a personal storage portal ( ) using CDNs which we did. After 3 month of work when we presented the same they then told us to scrap the project. what they wanted was cloud storage space which i am now implementing using amazon s3 FUCK THIS FUCKING STARTUP

Today from 9am till now 1am (picture this time in your head) i was getting cumganged✌️ by amazon

Trynna setup aws s3 bucket
And cloudfront

I died at least 17 times in the process

I cant anymore

Amazon s3
It's so simple to use ...

I don't like when client decide which tech use in the project. I got some weird tech request like:
1. Move existing database from postgresql to Hadoop because hadoop is Big Data (is kinda move from amazon rds to amazon s3 just why? have you index, cluster your postgresql table?)
2. Move from mysql to postgresql because mysql cause deadlock (maybe their previous developer just fucking moron)
In this situation we just explain why we don't use that and propose alternative solution. If they insist with their solution either ignore it or decide not continuing the project.

Story of a first-time hackathon.

So, I took part in the COVID-19 Global Hackathon.

Long story short, I got excited at OCR and just went with the most challenging challenge - digitizing forms with handwritten text and checkboxes, ones which say whether you have been in contact with someone who could have Coronavirus.

And, unsurprisingly, it didn't work within 4 days. I joined up with 2 people, who both left halfway through - one announced, one silently - and another guy joined, said he had something working and then dissapeared.

We never settled on a stack - we started with a local docker running Tesseract, then Google Cloud Vision, then we found Amazon Textract. None worked easily.

Timezone differences were annoying too. There was a 15-hour difference across our zones. I spent hours in the Slack channel waiting.

We didn't manage the deadline, and the people who set the challenge needed the solution withing 10 days, a deadline we also missed. We ended up with a basic-bitch Vue app to take pictures with mock Amazon S3 functionality, empty TDD in Python and also some OCR work.

tbh, that stuff would've worked if we had 4 weeks. I understand why everyone left.

I guess the lesson from this is not to be over-ambitious with hackathons. And not to over-estimate computers' detection abilities.

Watch your shell. Someone did it again.

Sysadmin grilled s3 with a typo in his command, shutting down whole subsystems of amazons infrastructure

TFW the wife calls asking about her website being down, and you realize Amazon S3 is having trouble.

Amazon S3 down: Cant pull any docker images >:/ ....but I wanted to update my GitLab instance. So good that I deleted the old container and image. FML

When you need proxy,
Connecting to Amazon S3
---
config.setProxyHost(URI);
config.setProxyPort(8080);
AmazonS3 s3 = new AmazonS3Client(Credentials, config);
---
So easy.
We need to move out amazon and start using google cloud storage.
---

Can't seem to find API Documentation for it.

Saw that they are using HttpURLConnection.

Fvck! They are not even reading proxy information set via System Environment Variables!

Help! Stuck on it for 3 days already.

Fuck yeah ... I have uploaded my major computation file to S3 and create Lambdas from those files(includes numpy and pandas also) and now I have only routes and invoke strategies in my EC3 .. looking for cost reduction....

"S3 Intelligent-Tiering is designed for 99.9% availability and 99.999999999% durability."

I bet it is Amazon, I bet it is...

So I’ve spent the last 20 minutes waiting for an Amazon S3 and Cloudfront Pro and another Amazon Web Services WordPress plugin to delete from a server via FileZilla. How’s your day going so far?

I used tailwind css in my web development project but as soon as the internet goes the images text blow out of proportion I used cdn if I had to deploy static website on amazon S3 with tailwind css how can I avoid this issue ??
