On July 23, 2025, #AWS deleted 10-year-old account and every byte of data I had stored with them. No warning. No grace period. No recovery options. Just complete digital annihilation.

This is the story of a catastrophic internal mistake at AWS MENA, a 20-day support nightmare where I couldn’t get a straight answer to “Does my data still exist?”, and what it reveals about trusting cloud providers with your data.

> Me: “Is my data safe? Yes or no?” AWS: “I want to personally follow up on your case and inform you that we understand the urgency.”

> AWS: “We value your feedback. Please share your experience by rating this correspondence.”

> Twenty days. Zero straight answers.

Lol. And OMG.

Today is the day I’ve decided to learn cloud. Signed up for a free tier #AWS account and working on a little something… stay tuned :)

If your AWS networking setup feels overcomplicated, IPFire might be the alternative you’re looking for.
It's open source and familiar — available now as an AMI.

Wow. If, when using #AWS's certificate manager, you tick the "exportable" box, that's actually a hidden 15 dollar per cert fee. If you don't tick that box, it's free. Scumbag behaviour.

During my time at AWS, I built automation for Neuron kernel modules on OpenShift. They need rebuilding for each OpenShift version, which creates ongoing maintenance work. My solution uses GitHub Actions with nightly builds and minimal container images. This removes the manual work and was part of a broader, still ongoing, effort to enable Neuron workloads on OpenShift.

Questions for #fediverse #SysAdmin folk who run #prometheus and #grafana on multiple #aws accounts:

Do you use a single Prometheus server or do you have one for each account?

How do you handle auto scaling EC2 servers which could change IPs at any time?

Is it possible for servers to push rather than get pulled from?

Please share any setups that could be relevant and boost far & wide!

Thanks in advance!!

The Alliance for Water Stewardship is whitewashing occupation.
It certified Azura’s tomato farms in occupied #WesternSahara - mistaking the location, ignoring EU court rulings, and failing to question #Morocco’s role.
