Yes, I know that Amazon/AWS are not popular here. Yes, it is annoying that we have a 5-day RTO expectation. Yes it is annoying that we are only hiring in a handful of cities (NYC, Seattle, DC).

Having said all that, if you'd like to come work with me and my colleagues securing customers who use #AWS, this job is on my team (I'm not a people manager, so I'm not the hiring manager). It's kinda cool #security stuff at global scale. It's at the intersection of building/deploying systems in the cloud, but with policy/governance and security telemetry in mind. If anyone wants me to refer them in I can.

A good candidate will have 2-5 years experience in security, demonstrated ability to write some python, JavaScript, or other modern language to get stuff done. It's not an SDE role, so there won't be a live-coding exercise, but you need to have a track record of at least sysadmin-level scripting/coding. Willing to learn isn't good enough. Experience in AWS is always good. AWS certifications (especially the security certification) are very desirable. This is not risk management/GRC. It's security.

My particular team is really good at DEI. Yes, I'm an old white man, but I'm very much in the minority on both my immediate team (10% white men) and the wider VP-level team. My immediate team is about 50/50 men/women, 2/3 people of colour, with one openly gay person at a very senior level. We're very serious about supporting people and treating people with respect. There are pockets of goodness, even in the belly of the beast.

Yes, it would be devastating to european corporate IT traditions - and necessary.

so yes, please - bring it on.

We need to get rid of #Google, #AWS, #Facebook, #MicroSoft -
now more than ever.
If the current decline of the #US forces us to, let us get to work.

howdy, #hachyderm!

over the last week or so, we've been preparing to move hachy's #DNS zones from #AWS route 53 to bunny DNS.

since this could be a pretty scary thing -- going from one geo-DNS provider to another -- we want to make sure *before* we move that records are resolving in a reasonable way across the globe.

to help us to do this, we've started a small, lightweight tool that we can deploy to a provider like bunny's magic containers to quickly get DNS resolution info from multiple geographic regions quickly. we then write this data to a backend S3 bucket, at which point we can use a tool like #duckdb to analyze the results and find records we need to tweak to improve performance. all *before* we make the change.

then, after we've flipped the switch and while DNS is propagating -- :blobfoxscared: -- we can watch in real-time as different servers begin flipping over to the new provider.

we named the tool hachyboop and it's available publicly --> github.com/hachyderm/hachyboop

please keep in mind that it's early in the booper's life, and there's a lot we can do, including cleaning up my hacky code. :blobfoxlaughsweat:

attached is an example of a quick run across 17 regions for a few minutes. the data is spread across multiple files but duckdb makes it quite easy for us to query everything like it's one table.

screenshot of a console with a duckdb command that is selecting data from multiple parquet files in an s3 bucket across multiple folders. the resulting table has many rows with a timestamp, unique client ID, region, host it was querying, and the results provided by the DNS server that was queried.
