  • MrRobbieCook Robbie Cook (@MrRobbieCook) reported

    @QuinnyPig @awscloud I think that the problem here is that when Lex Luthor makes your cloud provider, EvilCorp don't gaf if you get charged too much

  • Sh1bumi Christian Rebischke (@Sh1bumi) reported

    @alech @awscloud Here a few ideas: * 1 day test work in the office * Solving problems together * Do not ignore recommendations from co-workers. * Solving real problems * Less Interviews / faster decisions * White board sessions

  • kunalbagaria12 Kunal Bagaria (@kunalbagaria12) reported

    @QANplatform @awscloud Link not working.

  • jmeickle James Meickle (@jmeickle) reported

    @QuinnyPig @awscloud Can't see the outage for the leaves ✅

  • jabberwik Daniel Laughland (@jabberwik) reported

    Want to learn all the important deets about Amazon S3? Make sure to read the Developer Guide, the SDK docs for your platform, the REST API docs, and the IAM docs section for the service, or you may spend hours debugging the simplest issues. #aws

  • chrisjensenj Chris Jensen (@chrisjensenj) reported

    It's this kind of thing that entrenches privilege in tech, but @awscloud and @googlecloud aren't incentivised to fix this because it would cost them money to implement and they would cost them revenue they could make from revenue from innocent mistakes

  • mdreid Mark Reid (@mdreid) reported

    Woke up this morning to an inbox with over 50 emails (one every few minutes) from @awscloud saying I set up a new account and that they could process my credit card. The thing is, I didn’t sign up for an account. Someone used my email in error and now I can’t stop the spam. 😠

  • GUI_4_GAE NoCommandLine (@GUI_4_GAE) reported

    @ok_devalias @QuinnyPig @awscloud Plus - automatic shutdown of App out of the box (if that’s your preference) when budget is exceeded is no longer supported. You have to handle this yourself e.g. write a cloud function to shut down your App if that happens.

  • _becn Slow down I missed that (@_becn) reported

    @alexwlchan If @awscloud had an option to hard shut down everything if costs reached $fixed cost then I’d sign up for that in a heartbeat. Allowing this to happen is irresponsible

  • JosephKirwin Joe Kirwin (@JosephKirwin) reported

    @awscloud @AWSSupport what does it take to not be billed Total: $0.86 What is it in the free tier that I'm running exactly? Do I need to delete every last login to get rid of that charge? Seems pretty nickle and dime.

  • vkalpesh Kalpesh Vaghela (@vkalpesh) reported

    @awscloud if my running ec2 instance failed due to some os level issue in my instance but my instance status is running but I am not able to access. How can I check what is the exact status of my ec2 instance

  • karandikar_uday Uday Karandikar (@karandikar_uday) reported

    @awscloud My account # 286270249993. I am unable to login using root user as I lost MFA device. I want to close my account immediately to stop billing. Please assist.

  • GlennBroadhurst Glenn Broadhurst (@GlennBroadhurst) reported

    @AWSSupport Been trying to get my case escalated without success - all AuDa Domains are failing to renew and your system is broken will not allow the update of contact details.

  • ghaff Gordon Haff (@ghaff) reported

    @QuinnyPig @awscloud Yeah, I see way too much of: "So what if you get a $100 or maybe $1K bill. You can probably negotiate it down." That sounds absolutely terrifying for a lot of people that one would think these providers would be welcoming into their ecosystem.

  • antonoki Anton Okmyanskiy (@antonoki) reported

    @jrhunt @awscloud I have seen this mainly among devs internally. eg Training on setup was constantly broken. The wiki was a myriad of contradictory comments by desperate new devs sharing what they had to do to overcome issues at every step, but afraid to fix wiki. It got fixed ~2 years ago.

  • duanenickull Duane Nickull (@duanenickull) reported

    So bad! @godaddy has read our tweets for 6+ weeks & not once DM'd us as a VAR customer. I would never treat customers with such distain. 16+ hours of GD crap tech support and zero problems solved. Migration to @awscloud continues. Customers = happier and everything works better.

  • Sh1bumi Christian Rebischke (@Sh1bumi) reported

    @alech @awscloud I know that i am not the only one with that Problem. I know a few very talented people who get rejected because of such reasons as well. I don't really think that these interviews help fighting implicit biases.

  • gmussman Grant Mussman (@gmussman) reported

    Hey @awscloud - you guys kinda stink... at least for the nontechie novice. First, your domain 53 kept charging me exactly $1 a month for a reason never determined, yet I’d shut down the account (which you made a pain in the arse) and finally, getting a callback from you is...

  • duanenickull Duane Nickull (@duanenickull) reported

    Having bad experience. We use AWS @awscloud EC2 for client hosting needs. One server is down/won't accept any incoming connections (SSL, HTTP/S). Opened a support case ( we pay extra for support) but no response in over 36 hours. Meanwhile our client is w/o server.

  • barmijo Barmijo (@barmijo) reported

    @alexwlchan @h00tcom @awscloud This has been going on since the launch of EC2. In a talk around 2007 or 2008 that I attended, Werner Vogels discussed the issues AWS was having with folks incurring huge bills due to programming errors. They’ve had plenty of time to fix this.

  • DominickCaponi Dominick Caponi (@DominickCaponi) reported

    @jrhunt @awscloud They’re also doing that thing that hobbled GCP at the beginning where they amp up how great the tech is but helping people understand how it solves a problem is an afterthought. I shouldn’t need a TAM or a cert to use your product. That’s just bad DevEx right there!

  • DennisFaucher 💉dɛnɪs foʊʃeɪ💉 (@DennisFaucher) reported

    @VMwareTanzu Hahahahahahaha. Very helpful @awscloud "{"errorMessage":"RequestId: f209ef02-f60b-4163-aed0-bfc96a282f5b Error: Runtime exited without providing a reason","errorType":"Runtime.ExitError"}"

  • AlexandreSieira Alexandre Sieira (@AlexandreSieira) reported

    Hey @AWSSupport … the AWS-UpdateSSMAgent document fails BUT reports success if the AWS CLI is not installed in an instance. Found that out the hard way on an Ubuntu instance. Please fix this. #awswishlist

  • KrisGaisford Kris Gaisford (@KrisGaisford) reported

    People are leaving security to big companies. Even @awscloud says that their only responsible for their half of the security. While I believe companies should be more security focused and lock everything down to be anonymous. You can't count on it. @MySudoApp @signalapp

  • weareayafilms Aya Films (@weareayafilms) reported

    @AWSSupport Our AWS server is down, since Friday. Our developers are unable to work, which is very frustrating. We've reported the issue, but had no response. Can you advise?

  • pr0teusbr Felipe Pr0teus (@pr0teusbr) reported

    @AWSSupport there is a ACM limit of 10 domains but the web interface doesn`t enforce it and you only discovery when is too late and have to do everything again. Can you fix it ?

  • adrianmw75 Adrian W (@adrianmw75) reported

    @AWSSupport Hiya. Just had an email through from AWS Training and Certification after passing an exam that included the phrase "These vouchers expire on {EXPIRE DATE}.". Happy to give more details over DM, but looks like one of your templates has an issue.

  • saravanan444 Saravanan (@saravanan444) reported

    @awscloud #aws what’s is the best way to delete lot of small files from efs? Trying from an ec2 and it’s so slow!!!

  • 0ren13 Oren (@0ren13) reported

    @awscloud why can't I update existing security group's description without destroying then creating again... I understand if I can't update an existing ec2's ami TLDR: security group description should be editable, plz fix

  • h00tcom h00t (@h00tcom) reported

    @alexwlchan @awscloud needs to credit this account. I’ve wholly sworn off using their services myself for my side projects specifically because of this issue in the past that has SOMEHOW still not been fixed.
