Get both on a 30-minute call and ask them to prioritize the tasks. I'm assuming you've helped estimate each task? If not, this is an excellent time to present it to the PMs. Unfortunately, I don't have a holistic view of your workload. This should reduce your anxiety and provide transparency to all involved.

Depends on your needs. Some larger organizations will have multiple providers for business continuity, multi region is not enough. The smaller organization might decided on a cloud , solely based on pricing. AWS is the giant, followed by Azure and GCE is 3rd. Depending on your orchestration tools, why choose one :) as long as you don't lock yourself into a specific service, you should be able to switch across cloud compute. If you're not using AWS, get the free trial, kick the tires.

Well depending if you have the answer to the 4-5 security questions , like previous address ,car loan payment amount, or mortgage , stuff that you would only know. I don't know the full scope of the compromise, but someone wanting to use your info would not benefit from freezing it. If you forget your pin I'm expecting them to send it to the mailing address

If there is a cost it will depend on your state, all 3 were free for me

+1 Multi Cloud , has meant aws || azure || gce || vmware

Thx. Got it. I don't know enough about the app, but I would have it serve directly from CF to users. Instead of hitting this environment for static assets. Good job and good conversation.

Shipping it with the app, you lose the cluster wide cached objects. A SPOF is the resolver. It's google but it's a SPOF. Is the failover to s3 automatic ? Or do you make a code change ? What kind of latency does that add ?

How are your photos as a baby group with your 40 something photos of yourself ?

Have you looked at http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/

Have you thought about using bind as the db for the routing ? an internal dns lookup for the storage node storage.url -> 10.0.12.1

the invisible stimulus package

I'm not crazy, yes. When I first purchased a laptop with a camera (MBP 2008) I put tape on it. I did some research and found that the NSA had published a report that stated they could not confidently secure the iSight camera from external access. trying to find it now.

RightScale was the first with this feature, before it was available via the api. I'm looking forward to seeing how each cloud provider handles the UI for all this data.

Is this a terrible joke ? http://bit.ly/1ctfYJ8

Completely agree. This is similar to shared host that offer unlimited space. For those using a lot of share/cpu, they'll get a friendly reminder to upgrade, then a notice that they can't continue supporting them as a client with their current plan.

The Flickr Pro account 24.95/yr for "unlimited storage" was an easy purchase. When you login with your Pro account you are suggested to downgrade to the new 1TB (ad) account.

For 49.99/yr I have to ask myself, do I really need this ? what are my other options.

Your ip and browser fingerprint increases the certainty that you maybe be or know the same people

How was Doug connected ? Doug while only communicating with you via email imported his contacts. His contacts include you. There's the connection. Works similarly on FB. When that business associate imports contacts aka connections, they find you on the other side :) It's really that simple

This is more of a performance optimization and less about a HA solution. With rotation you also avoid being throttled. If that's not a concern based on the # of request you make then you can simply timeout and go to the next resolver on the list.

So there are 2 different things being addressed. There's a HA solution (handle failovers) and then there's operational performance. Introducing cron to manage this solution, means cron needs to be running and monitored at all times. Also worse case scenario if cron dies and you have a now down nameserver configured.

Agreed on aws I would use their resolver to request the internal ip. Another option is setting up your environment in VPC. With VPC you'll be able to assign a static internal ip to your instance.

btw I did find many reports on the 172.16.0.23 lookup issues.

If you use the rotate option with timeout you'll quickly hop to the next working resolver. http://edwin.io/optimized-resolv-conf

Do you have data you can share regarding "Amazon EC2 resolving nameserver (172.16.0.23) is unreachable too often" ?

You're right. That was a broad stroke.

Let's not make this OK. How is this supporting anything ? It was offensive and still is.

Here is why some males think it's a funny word.

Slang; see penis. Often used to describe a large penis, it can also be used to describe a "average-sized" one or a small one.

This is the reason I resigned from a mgmt position. I was delegating all the interesting work (learning experiences). The team was too big for me to be hands on. If you can keep the team small you can still be the "manager/boss/lead". Hiring the right people can make it feel less bossy. I would do it again with a smaller group.

The birth of a child does something very similar, but in a joyful way. Wasted time (TV , useless relationships) becomes better moments. It's gradual unlike death were you can have a clean slate.

Definitely a fun challenge. If you're going to invest in the hardware and custom build. Forget the y cable. Figure out a better solution. Rent 1/2 rack next to it to hold the pdus. +1 on the massive door fans.

This has been happening for many years now. They sell the stream to other companies who register the domain for a few days for free. They stamp the for sale page on it and wait, drop it and maybe register it again.

"We just want it to go to a good home". - Then a fixed priced is probably not the way to get there.

What's the ROI look like ? Lets say I absorb the development of the new billing system. How many clients will re submit there billing information ? If I leave it on auto pilot how long till I make my money back? 2.5 years ?

"With over 10,000 free accounts, there’s tons of untapped opportunity here in the existing customer base" Likely part of the buzz around the initial launch.

Pros: The revenue is there. The hosting cost is going to be affordable (low traffic), Cons: billing switch (huge problem), unless there is value.

"We either sell it by July 1, or we close it down." - Close it down != a good home at all.

What's the operational overhead? support via emails? charge backs? bug fixes?

This behavior of unplugging the destination of the DDoS is common with smaller hosts. They don't have the capital to spend on expensive mitigation devices. There are times when these attacks affect their entire network (bad design), so their quick and fast solution is to null route you at their cores.

ProTip: Don't run your production MySQL server on a micro. Micros are great for mail relay servers, load balancer (no static assets), or dns.
