  • Agreed, didn’t mean to question the legitimacy or integrity on whomever put together this poll, it’s just that the average person does not understand the polls and puts too much weight into their relevancy. For us voters, polls have very little value (other than keeping the election top of mind). For the campaigns and the candidates, the polls can sway how they get their messaging out, but when the media reports on how well a candidate is doing in the polls, it’s really just to fill time and get clicks. At best, it may encourage people whose candidate is not doing well to get the word out, but at worst, it can result in people sitting out the election because they think their candidate is a shoe in.








  • Yeah, in my case, I wasn’t familiar with the settings for Cloudtrail Data Events, and didn’t realize you could select which events to log, based on the actor or resource, as opposed to all events in DynamoDB. That would have saved me a lot processing power to filter the logs to look for the actions I was looking for.





  • I enabled Cloudtrail to log all DynamoDB read/write data events when trying to troubleshoot an issue. Even though I only left this enabled for a few days, the Cloudtrail line item was $5k more than it should have been. My back of the napkin math with assumptions came out to be 100 times less than that, so I had a really awkward support email asking them to reverse the charges, which they did fortunately.
