Does anyone use Prometheus/VictoriaMetrics vmagent and (AWS) EC2 Service Discovery with your PromScrape config? I am running it on a server with an IAM Profile that has read-only access to EC2 but:

skipping some ec2_sd_config targets for job_name=ec2_instances because of error: error when fetching instances data from EC2: cannot obtain instances: unexpected status code for "https://ec2.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/?Action=DescribeInstances&Version=2016-11-15"; got 401; want 200;

I guess it doesn't know how to use an IAM Profile?

#VictoriaMetrics #Prometheus #EC2

Was encountering issues in my test environment, this morning, that had been smooth sailing all of the prior few weeks. I knew that a change to one of my upstreams had been merge late yesterday afternoon. So, I asked if tehre was anything in the merge that might have explained what I was encountering.

As I looked back through
my setup, I noticed that, instead of deploying an #EC2 hosting a Windows Server 2022 operating system, I was deploying one hosting a Windows Server 2025 operating system.

#nevermind


In response to realizing my gaff, I posted the GIF that's attached to this post. Person I was talking to is 8yrs younger than me.
That age-difference meaning that, even if his parents had been as lax about "bed time" as mine had been, he still had a decent chance of not getting the full weight of the reference.
AWS 上 Lambda 與 EC2 的價差

我以為我有整理過 AWS Lambda 與 Amazon EC2 的價差... 搜自己的 blog 沒翻到,重新整理一下。 Lambda 的 vCPU 與 RAM 的比例接近 c 系列的分配,所以比較的時候就拉 c 系列出來看。先是美東 us-east-1 (以及美西 us-west-2,一樣的價錢): c5a.

I wrote my first article in the #DiaryOfALazyDeveloper series 🚀

I needed to expose a Docker Compose app for a workshop: HTTPS, custom domain, backups, teardown with one command. ECS was overkill, manual setup was fragile.

🔮 Spoiler: one terraform apply does it all 🏗️

In the article I describe every choice and why, driven by experience and the laziness of doing things by hand 😄

Migrated the final on-prem server to EC2 tonight.

It was in my quarterly goals but I really think the move in 2026 should be to bring as much of your infrastructure local as possible.

I feel like my gut is right more often than it isn’t around stuff like this. I guess we’ll find out.

#aws #ec2

AWS has 200+ services. Most companies use about 15. The same ones show up in every project: EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, DynamoDB, API Gateway, CloudFront, SQS, SNS, CloudWatch.
That handles 80% of everything. Wrote a guide covering just the ones that matter.
