По запросам слушателей мы рассказываем про AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK)!
@antkovalenko - SA AWS c богатым опытом в IaC с использованием CDK - поделился своими знаниями по внедрения CDK в несколько проектов. С чего начнем? Пожалуй, с самого простого: что такое CDK, в чем разница между CDK и CloudFormation и, конечно, Terraform. Также Антон поделится классной историей о том, как команда разработки довольно легко и быстро освоила CDK, проект не простаивал и девелоперы сами писали IaC используя CDK, пока для них искали DevOps специалиста по работе с IaC.
Мы не забыли проговорить концепты самого CDK construct (L1,L2,L3), обсудили, каким образом CDK поддерживает большое количество языков, и порассуждали о том, какая глубина знаний необходима специалисту для начала работы с CDK.

​​❓ AWS Region в Польше? 🇵🇱

1️⃣ AWS впервые за всё время продвинулся восточнее Мюнхена и стал набирать на работу в Польше:

https://www.amazon.jobs/en/search?country=POL&business_category%5B%5D=amazon-web-services

2️⃣ AWS впервые за всё время открыл Local Zone в Европе — в Гамбурге и Варшаве:

https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2022/10/announcing-general-availability-aws-local-zones-hamburg-warsaw/

Потому будет не удивительным услышать на ближайшем re:Invent 2022 о планах открытия региона eu-east-1 в каком-нибудь 2025-м году. 😀

p.s. В любом случае, что точно можно сказать, так это то, что ждём уже в самое ближайшее время оглашения открытия Швейцарии eu-central-2! 🇨🇭

​​🆕 Transfer Elastic IP addresses from one AWS account to another:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/vpc-eips.html#transfer-EIPs-intro

✅ You can transfer Elastic IP addresses to accounts within the same AWS Organization.
✅ You can transfer Elastic IP addresses to standalone AWS accounts outside of AWS Organization.
✅ You can transfer Elastic IP addresses only within the same AWS Region.
❌ You cannot transfer Elastic IP addresses between AWS Organizations.

When you transfer an Elastic IP address, there is a two-step handshake between AWS accounts:
▪️ the source account (either a standard AWS account or an AWS Organizations account) and the transfer accounts.
▪️ when the source account starts the transfer, the transfer accounts have seven hours to accept the Elastic IP address transfer, or the Elastic IP address will return to its original owner.

Что-то Dynamo DB от Маарека заходила с трудом, поискал в ютубе русскоязычное и неожиданно наткнулся на весьма годный ролик, пусть и немного староватый. Рекомендую: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldV512UFkmY
