Can someone tell me why CloudFormation won't just pull the error out of the error message when something fails to create? This is not helpful and then I have to go to CloudTrail. Just save me the step ``` Resource handler returned message: "Invalid request provided: AWS::Logs::QueryDefinition" ```

Haven't written anything in awhile or done much outside of work. But wanted to do a small sample of the new #cdk blueprint property injection. As always there is sample code in a repo that goes with it. kennethwinner.com/2025/05/24/c...

CloudFormation introduced a bug to us-west-2 last week. It has made its way to us-east-1 now :sadpanda: It interprets `provided.al2023` as null (or something) for layers ``` [provided.al2, null, nodejs16.x, nodejs18.x, nodejs20.x, python3.8, python3.9, java8.al2, java11, dotnet6] #aws #awssupport

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

The military requires annual flu shots for readiness. I'm anticipating the flu will heavily impact units in basic training, AIT, and pre-mobilization (among others).

Any CDK family out here? I'm using the beta cross-region references. I've got some exports I want to remove but it enforces strong references (this is fine). I tried to find a way to inject my exports to the custom resource but the provider is private and aspects can't seem to visit the node.

Can someone remind me why so many MAGA folks were against the COVID vaccine? The vaccine was developed during Trump's presidency and he takes credit for it at the 2021 CPAC conference. "It would have taken any other president at least 5 years". www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kL9...

I'm using the AWS SDK v2 with SSO. Additional I use aws-export-credentials --env-export to write the environment variables. Testing out granted.dev and by default the sso cache file is not written. This causes the SDK to fail unless you load from env. I thought env was the default loader?
