just published a blog post: "GitHub Actions + AWS CodeBuild – the ultimate guide for container nerds" includes: – how runs-on works behind the scenes – ways to accidentally spin up a 72xlarge instance 😬 – the joys of debugging $HOME in a container garbe.io/blog/2025/07... #listentotheheroes

Is there no way on GitHub to disable / remove the default hosted runners? I want to run only on self-hosted ones... #github @github.com

AWS ECR pull-through cache repos should support Dockers "library" images #awswishlist Instead of `docker pull ...ecr.../mirror/library/alpine` it should work with `docker pull ...ecr.../mirror/alpine` That makes prefixing much easier and less confusing...

Hopefully this clarifies how to pronounce IAM 😜 // cc @quinnypig.com @brookejamieson.bsky.social

Are humans the limiting factor in AI-assisted software development? I wrote why we might be, and what we need to do to break through the current productivity ceiling.

This year, the AWS Summit Germany will take place in Hamburg and the Community Lounge will also be back! We are already looking for speakers. Hurry up it's only open until March 16 Call for Paper: sessionize.com/aws-communit... Check also our Leveling Guide: www.aws-community-day.de/faq-leveling...

Infrastructure management teams? I'm old enough to know when it was called "Ops" teams infrastructure-as-code.com/post/infrast...

The CDK CLI and the main library are going to split and their versions will diverge. Shouldn't really effect much but read more here: github.com/aws/aws-cdk/...

TIL

My friend @meistermeier.com wrote a nice post about #SpringBoot #Actuator meistermeier.com/2024/12/28/S... and why it is *not* insecure by default, in contrast what the folks at CCC implied. TL;DR: #VW apparently enabled it on purpose, opted out of security and went straight to production.

We know where your #Volkswagen car is... Scary but also fascinating talk how they got and analyzed TBs of location data. media.ccc.de/v/38c3-wir-w...

You may have heard the AWS Heroes mentioned across the keynote stages last week, who are they? What content can you watch? We have you covered www.teachmeaws.com/blakes-log/w...

Great achievement by my colleagues here at #Personio aws.amazon.com/blogs...

This article about #AWS myApplication unfortunately lacks the CDK setup. I have you covered (code in alt text). aws.amazon.com/blogs/mt/aut... #ListenToTheHeroes

The experience with the cdk import command is really nice and takes away a lot of manual steps. But if you start with a new stack as in my case, deploy an empty stack first before importing resources. The error message is very misleading... #awscdk

If you are using #AWS or just interested in solid technical advice, you should listen to the Heroes: bsky.app/profile/did:... #listentotheheroes

Hopefully #awswishlist works here as well: I want that the ECR PullThrough cache makes the `library` path for official images transparent Currently it fails if the library prefix is missing but tools often allow only to set one prefix and that breaks for official images.

In his keynote @werner.social said „Now go build“ and as we take Bias for Action serious, we built listen-to-the-heroes.com. Thanks @hoegertn.de @pgarbe.bsky.social @lockhead.bsky.social @osterjour.bsky.social @abjoerne.bsky.social @monica.aws-he.ro for making this possible! #ListenToTheHeroes

A good 400 session is when the first 5min could be another full 300 session #awsreinvent

Almost finished but taking a break now... #ListenToTheHeroes

Hello Heroes! #listentotheheroes

The AWS Heroes program is something very special. The REAL heroes are the AWS employees who we've worked with for years. Thank you @werner.social, @rossbarich.bsky.social, @farrah.bsky.social, & everyone else who I can't find in here yet 😂🥰

Summary of @werner.social keynote at AWS re:Invent👇

Thank you @werner.social for the great shout out to the AWS Heroes ❤️ This is the smartest, friendliest, and simply *best* group of people I've ever been part of, and I am forever grateful for AWS' sponsorship 🙏

My second blog post on Aurora DSQL, with a deep dive on how reads work: brooker.co.za/blog/2024/12...

Something for your bookmarks!

Calling all Amazon ECS developers that are going to be at reInvent! Let me buy you breakfast! The ECS team is looking to have a sit down and learn about how you develop on ECS. We want to know what is working and what needs improvement. DM me if you are interested and I'll get you an invitation!

No one gets promoted for removing chaos or saying no to prematurely built artifacts that are guaranteed to drag the company down. Until this culture doesn't change, I don't expect anything to change.

That’s a cool idea. What’s your experience to use them for other AI tools?

Mark your calendar, the Community Day DACH will be back next year! The planning already started and we want to make it even better 💪 📅 October 7, 2025 📍 Smartvillage Bogenhause, Munich

The AWS community team has been the gold standard because of the amazing folks there that go above and beyond EVERY TIME. The recent "relocate or resign" edicts are inhumane & the best way to quickly destroy years of carefully nurtured relationships. Great article from @jeremydaly.com:

To mark #AWS Lambda's 10th anniversary, I'm sharing the internal PR/FAQ doc that launched it. It's a rare glimpse into the customer challenges we observed at the time and our vision for serverless computing back in the 2010s. Read it here: www.allthingsdistributed.com/2024/11/aws-...

Go follow @aws-community.de ! I have the feeling that some cool announcements are coming soon, and you won't want to miss 'em. 😜 #AWSCommunity #AWSCommunityDayDACH

Nice, just created a self-destroy mechanism for my personal stacks. With the 1-minute timeout my stuck was immediately gone after update 😂 Using EventBridge Schedules and their AWS API integration. #nocode But CloudFormation docs need some examples. Wasn't easy to figure out all the values.

In progress github.com/clareliguori...

AWS Lambda: A Decade of Transformation - The #AWS Developers podcast with @marcbrooker.bsky.social and @julianwood.com developers.podcast.go-aws.com/web/podcasts...

Ok figuring this out real time. Making an AWS Hero starter pack! Soon I'll figure out how to add more ppl 😅 go.bsky.app/EZ7AYrd

I created a AWS Serverless people Starter Pack: go.bsky.app/DatZhiS Let me know if you want to be added/removed! #aws #serverless

Curious what happened behind the scene of AWS Community Day DACH? How did we craft the talks and content so you could enjoy such a high quality event? Read me latest blog post: garbe.io/blog/2024/0... #AWSCommunityDayDACH #AWSCommunity #AWS

Hey AWS builders, before you go on vacation, don't forget to register to the AWS Community Day DACH in Munich: www.aws-community-da... Look at our agenda, you don't want to miss it! #AWSCommunity #AWSDevelopers

Congratulations Markus for organizing the AWS UserGroup Munich for 10 years!! According to meetup.com I joined the first time in 2016 (actually as speaker), but I think I sneaked in already earlier. To the Munich folks: See you later! #awscommunity #awshero

Starting the week with two ugly bugs: 1) Cloudformation allows to update the same TaskDefinition Family from multiple stacks 🤯 2) EcsRunTask task in StepFunctions CDK references task definition only by family, w/out revision 🤦‍♂️ #cdk #cloudformation #aws

We made it! We selected 28 awesome talks out of 240+ submissions. Many hours were invested and I will write a blog post about our process soon. Watch www.aws-community-da... as our speakers will soon show up there #AwsCommunity #AwsCommunityDay

Since @gitlab has no notion of teams how do others setup their groups? How do you organize teams and repositories? #gitlab #question

Excited to share my new blog post: "Hey CDK, what should I know before refactoring CDK applications?" If you're diving into CDK without a deep understanding of CloudFormation, this one's for you! Check it out: garbe.io/blog/2024/0... refactor/ #AWS #CDK #CloudFormation

Does anyone know if it's possible to get events from @VW ID.4 when leaving or arriving home? Would like to integrate it in my home automation. #volkswagen #loxone #mqtt
