Yeah, someone left that door wide open on purpose for sure.

Or, it’s an intern project and the team barely glossed over the design, missing that the site would be exposed to the internet.

I mean could be anything, but hell if i’m reading the article.

When other Amazon units cant figure out how to secure AWS, maybe it is an AWS problem

Not really. A bad carpenter blames his tools, and a bad dev team blames AWS when they choose not to follow industry standard security practices.

Eh. That may be an aphorism. But in reality there are some REALLY terrible tools.

For example, there are plenty of combination table/miter saws in countries with no regulations. Those will send you to the hospital with permanent disfiguring injuries. Even the best tools can kill/maim a carpenter. Sometimes the tools are just inherently dangerous.

The problem is probably with the admin(s) of the server rather than AWS itself.

AWS and Amazon.com are so far removed from each other internally that these might as well just be two entirely separate unrelated companies in regards to something like this. It’s not like Amazon prime just calls over AWS engineers to build out their platform. They most likely use AWS just like any other customer would.

Also AWS is so massive. I can assure you no single person can get it all perfect. Not even an AWS employee. Honestly especially an AWS employee. They spend all day working on the backend so I would bet most AWS employees have far less exposure to using AWS than the customers do.

User error in configuration is inevitable. Mistakes happen.

This is accurate. Amazon uses AWS internally just like any other customer. Human error in networking is inevitable at scale

Uh oh, someone about to find out how many David Attenborough documentaries I actually watch…

It’s a lot.

The Richard Attenborough documentaries are wonderful as well!

I buy them on blu ray because I don’t want to be arsed to bother with any streaming issues. I want his dulcet tones to wash over me, and I want it now.

I’ll share mine. The Expanse with random episodes of Ring of Power

I’m holding out hope now that book 9 is out. Who knows.

Some of the end season changes make Seasons 7-9 less likely to happen imo, though given how broader story moved is still possible.

jlusedude t1_iu3cfat wrote

I think it set it up fairly well. It wrapped up the story if needed but left open to additional season/movies.

moo100times t1_iu3e11w wrote

True, can't really discuss the bits I would wander about because of spoilers. I would love the show to finish with the book, particularly as the show adaptation was so good.

scope_creep t1_iu4ibre wrote

Have you listened to the audio books? It’s like watching the show all over again, but with more detail.

BitzLeon t1_iu5f94v wrote

I have not! Thanks for the suggestion! Is there a place you suggest I get the audio books off?

How can you watch a story driven series randomly?

2

jlusedude t1_iu3cd8j wrote

I am watching them in order but randomly sprinkled through my viewing of the expanse. I don’t use Prime Video often so when I am using it, it is either of those two.

Im not choosing random episodes of Ring of Power.

you should really watch it in order for the story to make sense.

Watching “Mike and Me” 300 times is now going to haunt me, more than watching it ironically did.

Not completely empty. I think I watched Elf on there once.

I got one month for free, fire it up, saw nothing interesting and went back to torrent.

Bezos, you make enough money on Amazon. Why let someone else dumpster-dive in your trash for money? You could probably get sued doing that…
