Good stuff. Fonts could be a rendered a little bigger. Also, allow me to choose a handful of themes for better display spacing, minimal coloring between comments for better readability?
Monitoring your public cloud network is an unsolved problem, such as on AWS. It is far from complete, with many loose and fragmented solutions at best. For instance, filtering workloads with high inbound traffic, with specific sessions across VPC, Classifying short-lived bursts, long-lived sessions, etc.
We have put together a short questionnaire looking for some feedback on possible offerings in this space.
Audience:
1) Anyone using public clouds such as AWS, GCP
2) SREs, IT solutions provider, security professionals welcome
Great comments, especially about implementing grit & discipline.
If I may ask, initially did you have any means to implement a system from scratch (i.e. no passion, and no motivation) to consistently performing and developing that into a habit? That would be the heart of discussion here (to be aware of audience diversity here). It has to start from an emotional pain, or an emotional need to get to a specific short-term goal in the first place.
E.g. working out. One starts with a short-term goal of running on treadmill with the intention to lose a few lbs, or to develop some better sleep. And then, gives up after the goal is achieved; some give up unable to follow-through. Then, you get frustrated about not following through the following year, continuing to be mediocre. And then, you develop a better momentum, better sense of following-through, and better discipline, only to give up after a little bit longer (excuses can be formidable). And then...you develop enough persistence, enough discipline, enough grit, just to make it into a habit. Once you turn that into a habit, you just don't care for goals, excuses or motivations.
But I found that incredibly hard to achieve (over the years). At least, this was my path. When I was put in a stringent disciplined system in 20s, I resisted. I always wanted to break such patterns, routines & rules because I thought they hinder creativity. Now, I am at a full-circle back to implementing such a system of grit & discipline.
Given these, if I were to start something new today e.g. Taekwondo, I would implement grit, discipline and just following-through. But I won't have goals, or I don't care for passion either.
