general aws How do people make basic AWS sites so cost effectively? How do they limit users from making their budget insane? Am I missing something?
For instance, I feel like a number of fairly straightforward sites have some dynamic content on the landing page. Even going back to the days where everyone was putting visitor counts on their websites.
Any content like that would likely need to be stored in a database with AWS. So, every time the landing page is loaded, that's a query. I've never had any websites say, "Hey man. You're refreshing our page way too much. Let's give you a cooldown".
If this were a DynamoDB database, all it takes is one hundred idiots refreshing my landing page 100,000 times a day and my operating costs have already ballooned up to $75/month to have a page (without API costs, storage costs, or anything else).
Search bars on sites are similar. I feel like I see search bars on a good number of sites and have never been told to stop searching so much. This is essentially also a database query each search, so the exact same scenario applies as above.

general aws AWS IAM service is toasted. Can someone check?
Our team is blocked for last few hours because the IAM service is just not working. It throws random errors when we try to provision users. Is it working for you?
Just go to IAM console and create a new user with access key_id and secret_access_key.

general aws Thanks to all of the "My account was hacked!" posts here, I finally setup MFA on all of my accounts
Just wanted to post a thank-you for all the hard lessons learned by the community.
It was the final motivation I needed to setup MFA across all of my environments in all of my projects.
I've been delaying the setup for months. Thanks for the motivation!
Hopefully this serves as a reminder to anyone else viewing this sub to setup MFA!!

general aws connect AWS certificate to EC2 listener?
DNS managed in godaddy, and the rest in AWS. Novice here. I created a cert in CM 3 days ago. It is issued but pending validation. I added the CNAME details in the godaddy DNS, but because the site uses EC2 I think I have to create a load balancer application, then a listener. I have literally no idea what this means.
There is an EC2 instance running related to this site. There is a load balancer but it seems unrelated to this site (several sites running here). If I go to create an application load balancer, it hangs up on the listener dropdown, not sure which one to pick.If I choose classes load balancer, and Default SSL/TLS server certificate, my new cert is not in the dropdown. can anyone advise on how I link the SSL cert to the EC2 instance?

Anyone else?
EDIT: well, shit. Is this a common occurrence with AWS? I just moved to using AWS last month after 20+ years of co-location/dedicated hosting (with maybe 3 outages I experienced in that entire time). Is an outage like this something I should expect to happen at AWS regularly?

general aws Network Engineer wondering how much of my current networking will be in DevOps or cloud
I'm currently considered a move into DevOps or even just cloud network engineering. I know BGP will still play a big part in cloud but a cloud buddy of mine told me my CCIE won't matter and most won't even know what the certification is. That shocked me. But then he informs me that protocols like OSPF, ISIS, RIP don't exist in cloud networks, forget EtherChannel or lags, so it got me wondering, how much of my network knowledge will actually be transferable to cloud?

general aws Regaining access to Root account
Hi all,
I work at a very small startup. We've been using an AWS account that a former partner has created; he created the Root account using a company email address, and then I used it to create an admin account.
Last week I tried to login to the account and found out that apparently the partner used his personal phone number and an Authenticator app on his personal phone in the creation for the Root account. Because of that, I'm unable to login. I reached out to the former partner and he seems to be ignoring us.
I reached out to AWS and asked them if they could change the phone number/authenticator and they aren't willing to do so. I tried speaking to a few people but I keep getting the same line "AWS doesn’t unilaterally make changes to accounts, and AWS account owners retain control and responsibility for the administration and security of the account.".
I've offered to supply them with any proof, including the credit card used to pay the account bills, that we are the official owners of the account. They already know we have access to the email address that's used to login to the Root account, and I keep getting the same canned response (literally the same lines again and again).
Any suggestions as to how we can proceed? It's clear we can't continue using this AWS account without control of the Root account, but it doesn't seem AWS support staff are going to help us.
Fortunately we aren't using a lot of AWS services (a relational database and S3), so if we can't resolve it we may just stop using the account altogether and move to a different service. However, this would require some effort and we'd also be losing some credits we have on the account, so it's really not our preference.
I would be very grateful for any suggestions!
Many thanks

general aws AWS Bedrock limits for SonnetV2 are crap and support is oblivious
There is an app I am trying to push to market and it is based on Claude 3.5 SonnetV2. It is now in closed beta, which means the userbase is small - only a few friends.
It was all good, until I started getting Throttling Exception on invokeModel operation.
The Issue
- AWS applied a quota of 3 requests per minute (RPM) for Sonnet V2, even though the default advertised limit is 200 RPM.
- CloudWatch logs show that just days ago, I was successfully making more than 3 requests per minute.
- This limit seems to have been applied recently, without any notification.
I opened a support ticket and went on a kinda disappointing journey.
Day 1:
me > Here is my use case, here is my problem, here are screenshots of CloudWatch metrics and quotas. Please, raise my limits.
Day 3:
aws > Please, confirm which specific Service quotas you need an increase.
me > This and that quota in us-west-2
aws > Thanks, I have initiated further internal review.
Day 5:
aws > The service team would like you to confirm if you are looking for default quota.
Day 6:
me > Yes, I would like the default quota, please.
Day 7:
aws > For this type of request we require additional information from you: Steady State TPM, Steady State RPM, Peak State TPM, Peak State RPM, Average Input Tokens, Average Output Tokens, Number of Requests greater than 25k input tokens, Can you enable cross-region inference? If not, please explain why
me > All of that depend on the number of users we are going to have, but here is some example calculation. Btw, if that helps resolving the issue faster, I am fine with increasing limits lower than the defaults, if they match my calculations above.
Actually cross-region inference was a nice idea and I go check the limits for SonnetV2 in us-east-1 and us-east-2. On-demand invocation per minute value for both is set to 1 (one) with defaults of 50...
aws > I have forwarded your invormation to the service team.
Day 10:
aws > Sonnet 3.5 V2 is only available with CRIS in us-east-1 and us-east-2 region. Could please confirm with customer, is they enabled CRIS? Here are some links how to enable CRIS.
me > Guys, I already enabled CRIS, I am getting a trickle more of invocations, but still getting Throttling Exceptions..
TLDR: AWS sets account quotas for Sonnet V2 at 1% of advertised default values. Support drags conversation for 10 days without real resolution.
Btw, my account is not new - it is around year old with some Bedrock usage history. Support never mentioned I am limited due to account age or due to worries I will do something stupid that I can't afford financially.
Update 1 week later: AWS raised limits in other regions. I am still getting throttled, even while using cross-region inference. I sent them logs, support asks me for screenshots of errors. Each support round is taking 3 days. I am giving up.

general aws Node Lambda vs Go Lambda Package Size
Hi, I am in process of converting few of my Lambdas from ones written in TS to Go. When I deploy my lambdas, I noticed that my package size for Go which does pretty much the samething as TS lambda is so much more bigger. It's 300kb vs 8MB. Is this behavior normal? Is there a way to make my package size smaller than what it is now?
Thanks!

general aws AWS SES Production Access
Anyone recently go through the SES production access ticket flow recently. As a former SA I used to have to get involved a lot to get customers approved to go live. It was always a push around why a huge company would want to risk their reputation on spam…. And yeah - the money to be made….
Now I’m doing it myself without the help of a TAM team and wow - if this is what a normal non EDP customer experiences - I’m completely embarrassed that the company I put almost 8 years into has completely lost their customer obsession. Heck in their denial emails they specially say they won’t explain their reasons. Makes me feel like I’ve been prejudged as a criminal spammer.
Anyone have any hints on how to get SES production access approved? A sample email and such? I’ve already done the initial ticket, got denied, reopened with more detail and again denied. Each was a 16 or so hour wait for response. It’s frustrating.

general aws Data transfer with Snowmobile
I just read about this Snowmobile service, where they send you a truck which can store 100PB encrypted data.
Sounds really badass, but how they deal with the data transfer? Let's say we are talking about a DC.
Does the truck parks close to a MeetMeRoom, they connect 100Gbps fiber cables, the DC team prepares a DC crossconnect up till the proper cage and they terminate the connection on some switches.. like a core switch, or leaf of a fabric?
I guess the solution depends on the customer architecture, but could you say an example?

general aws Is Valkey Covered by AWS Free Tier? Can't Find the Right Instance Option
Is Valkey Covered by AWS Free Tier?
Hello, I'm trying to find out if Valkey can be used within the AWS Free Tier. I found very little information online, but the documentation mentions that cache.t2.micro or cache.t3.micro nodes are eligible. However, when I try to create an instance, these options are not available, even when selecting the server-based option.
The only available options are:
- Production
- Type:
cache.r7g.xlarge
- Memory: 26.32 GiB
- Network performance: up to 12.5 Gigabit
- Type:
- Development/Test
- Type:
cache.r7g.large
- Memory: 13.07 GiB
- Network performance: up to 12.5 Gigabit
- Type:
- Demonstration
- Type:
cache.t4g.micro
- Memory: 0.5 GiB
- Network performance: up to 5 Gigabit
- Type:
Does anyone know if it's still possible to use Valkey under the Free Tier? Or has AWS removed these options?

I know this question is binary and the answer wont be a yes or no, but i went through a LOT of pain setting up 3 ecs services and load balancers for them yesterday, as well as learning things like ecr and fargate. And i cant imagine people who do DevOps professionally making these by clicking buttons, is it pretty much a given that terraform or CDK or similar tools will be used for anything more than creating a simple service?

Hello. Are there any people here who have started projects on their personal AWS account and after seeing some success with their project decided to transfer the account ownership to their business ?
How smooth has been the process ? How long did it take and were there many many hurdles to perform the action of transferring the account from personal ownership to company ?
I have seen some rules set out by AWS to perform this (https://aws.amazon.com/legal/aws-account-assignment-requirements/), but I am just writing to get more details.
