  • mziehlke Maciej Ziehlke (@mziehlke) reported

    @AWSSupport Thanks. I forgot to say that I'm looking to check it programmatically, using JS SDK. My usecase is I would like to check if I got any databases in each region. I'm getting error that some regions are not in scope. How to check what is and what's not?

  • NeonPinkToes ME 😬 (@NeonPinkToes) reported

  • AimeeRothwellRN Aimee (@AimeeRothwellRN) reported

    Can someone tell me why @amazon is allowed to change the price of items after you click on it? This is the only site that does this. Every pair of shoes is different than the displayed price. EVERY. SINGLE. PAIR. @awscloud fix your prices!

  • MrMcDonald5 MrMcDonald (@MrMcDonald5) reported

  • jostewart Josephine Stewart (@jostewart) reported

    @awscloud @AWSSupport I just got yet another set of completely nonsensical instructions from your email support team about a problem they lied about fixing. I'm STILL trying to get my email removed from a fraudulent account. I guess I'll just tweet at you every day? WTF?

  • gravaton David Bresnick (@gravaton) reported

    @AWSSupport I've been run in circles for over a week re: getting access to my root account w/ lost MFA device and domain (no email, got the PW tho). No rep understands the issue and there's no procedure. "Lost MFA" form goes nowhere. This has never happened? Am I doomed?

  • jostewart Josephine Stewart (@jostewart) reported

    @awscloud @AWSSupport I've spent a month trying to get you to kill an AWS account that was set up fraudulently using my email. Support LIED to me about the problem being resolved and is now asking *me* to fraudulently access the account to create a new ticket; I have one already.

  • squrl4sale Squrl (@squrl4sale) reported

    @KDallas368 @stevenapier @danheld the thing you're missing with eth is that its centralized and that it's monetary policy/issuance is not fixed like bitcoin's. buyer beware, they can flip-flop or be shut down by Amazon AWS/gov at any time.

    Issue: Amplify Cognito - Flutter Step 1: User creates an account Step 2: Closes the app before confirming the account Step 3: Tries to LogIn with Email and Password Expected Error: UserNotConfirmedException Actual Error: UserNotFound @FlutterDev @awscloud #Flutter #AWS

  • ZAGaming10 Wardrone 👾 (@ZAGaming10) reported

    @AWSSupport Ping to Bahrain from South Africa has skyrocketed to well over 200ms, used to be an awesome 130ms, contacted @Afrihost they said @awscloud does the routing, can you fix it, please?

  • varun_7007 varun (@varun_7007) reported

    @awscloud it's been 20 days i have been unable to login into my account but still didn't get any support from amazon

  • 0Bhoorelal Bhoorelal 2.0 (@0Bhoorelal) reported

    @somecloudguy @awscloud If you are working for the Indian entity of Amazon then that should not be a problem

  • tmaslen Tom Maslen (@tmaslen) reported

    Only on Chrome with a "because the form's frame is sandboxed and the 'allow-forms' permission is not set." error message @awscloud

  • kgutwin Karl Gutwin (@kgutwin) reported

    @tanyacash21 @awscloud Also, if you’re having SSH connectivity problems, the cause of that could also prevent the SSM agent from talking to the AWS APIs. Maybe double-check your VPC settings.

  • glenathan Glen Mailer (@glenathan) reported

    @QuinnyPig @awscloud Leftover EIP that terraform somehow hadn’t torn down

  • wolfgang32 wolfgang (@wolfgang32) reported

    @Knieriemen @awscloud Aws called to fix problems but I was not home. Asked them to call back in one H. Now 3 H later no call. This has been going on for a week. I guess they have millions of problems to fix or don't care. Be careful with your business..

  • tanyacash21 Tanya Cashorali (@tanyacash21) reported

    @willCuThere @awscloud Security and pem key should be good, VPC might be the issue. Just strange never had a problem spinning up old AMIs and SSHing in before.

  • nkotov Nik Kotov (@nkotov) reported

    @marknca @awscloud Great thread. It's part of the reason we're building @atomizedhq. We got the majority of this process down to literally five minutes + built-in CD.

  • fbsloXBT fbslo (@fbsloXBT) reported

    @gadikian @awscloud @Hetzner_Online AWS is horrible, I recently paid almost $1k for 2 hours of server usage (and ~7 days of having an active volume). Hetzner is much better (and you at least know how much you will need to pay before you order the server).

  • HeBo117 Ahmed Ehab (@HeBo117) reported

    @poojari_raghav @awscloud I have the same problem did you get your account back?

  • fymd Andy Allan 🐀 🦔 (@fymd) reported

    @AWSSupport the EC2 team have "broken" the Image Builder image recipe page (again). This time you can no longer choose GP3 as the volume type. I suspect you can still do so via the CLI but haven't checked yet. I'm beginning to think I'm the only person using Image Builder.

  • StegerPatrick Patrick Steger (@StegerPatrick) reported

    Just found out @awscloud grilled the bejesus out of the best front end guy I know and it left a terrible taste in his mouth. Judging by the console, maybe you shouldn't be grilling front end guys quite so hard.

  • tricklynch Patrick Lynch (@tricklynch) reported

    @QuinnyPig @awscloud Pay attention to their next earnings call after they fix it

  • sargun Sargun Dhillon (@sargun) reported

    @cperciva @awscloud How do you solve the backwards compatibility problems?

  • michalru Michał Rutka 🇵🇱🇳🇱🇪🇺 (@michalru) reported

    @QuinnyPig @awscloud I've learned this hard way when I've setup private #OpenVPN server on an EC2 instance (it could circumvent Netflix country restriction). After watching one movie and waiting few days for costs updates it occured that any commercial VPN or movie rental is more economical.

  • DorseyPunk JackDorseyAHoe (@DorseyPunk) reported

    @AWSSupport Yeah, I've filled out that form 3x. Each time, I'm told to sign into the console. I signed into the account and shut it down as soon as I found out about it. Your people tell me they can't communicate with me, without me signing into the console. Why you lying?

  • tanyacash21 Tanya Cashorali (@tanyacash21) reported

    @willCuThere @awscloud I’ve tried SSH and no luck, that’s how I usually connect. I’ve never had this issue before. Haven’t used EC2 in a few years. Port 22 is open.

  • martinb3 Martin Smith (@martinb3) reported

    @marknca @awscloud I think a lot of AWS UX problems boil down to terminology. I don't know how one writes good docs given the bad terminology. IMHO running a single container on the Fargate flavor of ECS is actually quite simple, once you know terms or have followed the evolution of the products.
