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?

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.
#oops
#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. -
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 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.#aws #cloud #infrastructure #EC2 #IAM #S3 #RDS #DynamoDB #Lambda #APIGateway #CloudFront #Route53 #SQS #SNS #CloudWatch #EKS #CDN

AWS announced support for nested virtual machines within virtualized EC2 instances running KVM or Hyper-V.
The new capability enables use cases such as application emulation & hardware simulation on supported C8i, M8i, and R8i instances.

System Administration: Week 5: Networking I: IPv6 Basics
In this video, we get familiar with our Big Hero IPv6, looking at the structure of the IPv6 header and IPv6 address representations.
Since we're using AWS #EC2, remember that we have instructions for how to set up a dual-stack VPC and subnet to launch your instances in:

EC2 supports nested virtualization on virtual EC2 instances
https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2026/02/amazon-ec2-nested-virtualization-on-virtual/
Previously, customers could only create and manage virtual machines inside bare metal EC2 instances. With this launch, customers can create nested virtual machines by running KVM or Hyper-V on virtual instances. It is helpful for use cases such as running emulators for mobile applications, simulating in-vehicle hardware for automobiles, and running Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows workstations.
