No option for “Don’t show me again”

Check to see how it’s handling that 2 weeks maybe you can change it to 2000000 weeks
I’ve been on an AWS project for about a month now
And, my god, there is so much to be infuriated by.
My first revelation was that there is no payment killswitch. E.g. if I spend more than X dollars, stop all my services and don’t charge me anymore. Nope sorry can’t do that
You can set “Budget alerts” but holy fuck, the emails do not arrive anywhere near reasonably on time
$0.40 per secret stored, billed monthly. Imagine the keys for every lock in your apartment showing up as charges on your rent invoice.
With every managed service, it feels like the setup menus are just a game of minesweeper, where if you don’t know any better, you might accidentally cost your organization $500 per hour and not know until the next day when the cost dashboard updates.
Maybe it’s just because I’m new to it, but apparently, this kind of shit is rampant among most cloud providers.
Biggest companies in the world still need to pickpocket their customers and that’s somehow okay
I only decided to set up a personal AWS for some minor things after having worked on it at employers for many years, after watching employers accidentally spend $3000 a day or $1 million a month or $35,000 in error. Cloud is the devil, bring back servers. One flat piece of hardware you can do whatever with…but even that’s not sacred. If you use hosted servers, the hosts often still charge for ingress/egress and other things now, so you still fall into traps if not careful. Simpler though.
So I guess, storing your own server in your office is the way to go, but then the ISP issues…
Let us all just go back to paper, actually.
Agreed, AWS make pricing deliberately difficult to control.
Check out budget actions, you can set that to stop EC2s on certain thresholds. Not perfects but can help. Also if you can use parameter store instead of secrets manager, you can save a bunch of money there too.
While that’s certainly annoying, valkey IS the better option.
It’s a tale as old as software development itself: Fuck around with your license, find out by getting replaced by a fork.
Although Redis came back and reversed the relicensing one year later lol:

Can you permanently zap it with uBlock?
Often those sites randomly generate ids and classes, so it will work only once.
I hate that.
This drives me up the wall, anywhere I encounter it. Bastards.
Sorry, it’ll be back to the regular “Remind me later” when our UX person gets back from leave. The engineer who was made to do this last minute has been sacked and replaced by three TPMs and a mop. The mop is the star performer so far.
aws-cli+ cloud formation and never worry about it again.
