I work at Sidero, but I'm glad that wasn't obvious from the article because I'm trying to be fair.

I heard about Impermanence right after I gave the talk so I'm looking into it.

New comment by JustinGarrison in "What has Docker become?"

I was early container adopter at a large RHEL shop and they absolutely required us to use their forked version of docker for the daemon and RHEL based images with systemd.

This was mostly so containers could register with systems manager and count against our allowed systems.

We ignored them because it was so bad and buggy. This is when I switched to CoreOS for containerized workloads.

Everything trends upwards. Even the services they killed in the past year I’m sure were getting new customers. But Amazon isn’t interested and doesn’t have capacity to support hundreds of services that don’t make a lot of money.

It was a business decision because slack's old /call command was built on a startup they aquired. I don't know the details but I'm sure Amazon gets deep discounts on slack and slack get's the same for chime.

I would be fine if they built a new tool with 2024 IaC experience and control. But I think trying to evolve CFN into a new thing would take far too long and have a lot of edge cases that they should just start over and stop trying to paper over it with CDK, Proton, ACK, etc.

Thank you very much for the note. I use hugo to render the site and don't have any specific setting for back button behavior. I'll check it out.

EB has languished for 1 reason. The team that built/maintained EB was reorged to build AppRunner (as EB v2) and they never had enough cycles to maintain both and weren't allowed to deprecate v1.

Any amount of evolving would require a lot of breaking changes to rearchitect and not be bogged down by keeping compatibility. I think they should make a v2 and sunset v1 and not keep any old compatibility.

If you get rid of chime you also get rid of slack huddles (built on Chime). Like many AWS services the backend of Chime is good, the UX/UI is terrible.

In the last year they've deprecated 14+ services/features and they've been really bad. They will email existing customers but they won't announce it publicly to avoid the bad press. Documentation pages are updated quietly with banners or removed.

What services would you get rid of?
