I thought I'd share IaC source for creating "shareable" AWS Lambda test events…
Background: aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2022/03/aws-lambda-console-test-events
• Introduced in 2022, this way of distributing sample events so that multiple developers can test Lambda functions realistically, not locally, hasn't received much attention. The documentation covers manual creation, not IaC.
Sample: github.com/sqlxpert/stay-stopped-aws-rds-aurora/blob/b9c2457/stay_stopped_aws_rds_aurora.yaml#L883-L970
• I like CloudFormation. The Terraform resources are aws_schemas_registry and aws_schemas_schema .
• The
• Test events for internal projects will be more specific than mine, and won't need editing. Test execution can be automated but extra keys with instructions for humans might be useful nevertheless.
I hope this will be helpful to someone!

lambda-testevent-schemas registry serves every Lambda function in an AWS account and region, so you've got to be able to create it conditionally, and it has to survive the deletion of your project. Consider a removed block with destroy = false .• Test events for internal projects will be more specific than mine, and won't need editing.

Hey SweetOps community 👋
I’m looking to learn how other teams are handling ECS deployments — specifically how they’re structuring and automating the process of deploying applications on ECS.
We’re reviewing and refreshing our ECS deployment strategy and patterns, and we’d love to hear from others in the community who are running workloads on ECS.
If you or your team are deploying apps to ECS, I’d love to know:
• How do you typically deploy? (e.g., GitHub Actions, CodePipeline, Terraform, custom tooling, etc.)
• What deployment patterns or architectures are you using? (e.g., blue/green, rolling updates, canary, etc.)
• How do you decouple application and infrastructure releated configs?
• What have you found works best (or doesn’t)?
• Are there any lessons learned or gotchas you’d share?
The goal is to gather insights into common practices and trade-offs teams are making so we can align our approach with the broader DevOps community and current best practices.
If you’re open to sharing your experience or discussing this further, please drop a comment or DM me — we’d really appreciate your input!
Thanks in advance!

Hello SweetOps people, l have a new project to build a Window Server in AWS but looks like there are currently no Windows AMIs created. What is the best way to go about this? I have the requirements.

Many AWS services are moving to maintenance mode. I was once interested in CodeCatalyst and Proton...glad we didn't end up using them.

Hi everyone 👋
I’m new to AWS and would really appreciate some guidance.
I recently bought a low-cost domain from Hostinger and I’m trying to request an SSL certificate using AWS Certificate Manager (ACM).
I’ve added the required CNAME records in Hostinger’s DNS panel, and online tools like DNSChecker show that the records have propagated correctly.
However, ACM still keeps showing “Pending validation” or “Validation failed.”
I’m wondering if there might be any formatting issues or misconfigurations specific to Hostinger’s DNS setup (e.g., whether I need to remove the domain suffix or trailing dots).
I can’t use email validation, so I’m relying on DNS validation only.
Any suggestions or examples from those who’ve done ACM validation with Hostinger domains would be really helpful

Hey Guys
Just wanted to share something I’ve been using (and building) lately — an app that lets you chat with your CloudWatch logs, spin up on-demand dashboards, ask questions, and troubleshoot issues without juggling 10 different tools 😅 all from one single terminal. I've been using it myself and
it's been super helpful, imagine all your monitoring and observability shrinks down to one chat window that can help you to troubleshoot issues, analyse logs and create on demand dashboards as well. I basically run my monitoring on autopilot now.
Figured I’d share it here in case anyone’s interested. Happy to demo or chat more about it! 🙌 alternatively you can use it yourself at: https://jodmcp.com
Thanks!
