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

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:

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.

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

Great achievement by my colleagues here at #Personio

This article about #AWS myApplication unfortunately lacks the CDK setup. I have you covered (code in alt text).

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
Two docker pull commands for ECR. One with the library prefix works while the other fails. But both should work ideally. ✅ docker pull 123456789012.dkr.ecr.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/mirror/docker-hub/library/alpine ❌ docker pull 123456789012.dkr.ecr.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/mirror/docker-hub/alpine
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.
Yes, the heroes of @aws-community.de are curating a list here: bsky.app/profile/aws-...
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
I hope do too 😜
A few Heroes sitting at the lobby and hacking on a new project
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 😂🥰
