GitHub Actions and AWS CodeBuild - The Ultimate Guide for Container Nerds
Switching between GitHub-managed runners and AWS CodeBuild sounds easy — and it mostly is — but there are important caveats to consider.

My friend @meistermeier.com wrote a nice post about #SpringBoot #Actuator meistermeier.com/2024/12/28/S... and why it is *not* insecure by default, in contrast what the folks at CCC implied. TL;DR: #VW apparently enabled it on purpose, opted out of security and went straight to production.

This article about #AWS myApplication unfortunately lacks the CDK setup. I have you covered (code in alt text). aws.amazon.com/blogs/mt/aut... #ListenToTheHeroes
const app = new cdk.aws_servicecatalogappregistry.CfnApplication(this, 'MyApp', {
    name: 'MyApp',
});

cdk.Tags.of(this).add('awsApplication', app.attrApplicationTagValue, {
    excludeResourceTypes: [

        'aws:cdk:stack',

The experience with the cdk import command is really nice and takes away a lot of manual steps. But if you start with a new stack as in my case, deploy an empty stack first before importing resources. The error message is very misleading... #awscdk

Hopefully #awswishlist works here as well: I want that the ECR PullThrough cache makes the `library` path for official images transparent Currently it fails if the library prefix is missing but tools often allow only to set one prefix and that breaks for official images.
Two docker pull commands for ECR. One with the library prefix works while the other fails. But both should work ideally.

✅ docker pull 123456789012.dkr.ecr.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/mirror/docker-hub/library/alpine
❌ docker pull 123456789012.dkr.ecr.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/mirror/docker-hub/alpine
