🥗 Appetizer

Hey folks,

This week, AWS introduced a new charge for Public IPv4 usage.
I have some concerns regarding all these small moves AWS introduces along the way, with little business value costing AWS customers a lot.

To name a few:

1. Adding new AWS Config Resources support
2. Making usage of Public IPv4 a paid feature
3. Promoting the usage of KMS Key Rotation

Something interesting is ramping up in the CloudFormation space; they are preparing a new capability to generate a CloudFormation template from existing assets on your AWS Account.

Bon appétit! 🍽️

Using HashiCorp Vault IAM Auth recipe to authenticate between containers. It is limited in capability (no authorization) but when capabilities are limited otherwise it is an OK approach and removes the need for additional authentication layer (like HMAC based).
