Altassian server end of support for JIRA&Confluence on February 15, 2024 is giving me a chance to switch to some other cloud offering, I am considering Atlassian Cloud and asana, however I would be interested in some testimonials from you.

For all of us here: I'm looking to gather salary information online to try to benchmark $newJob's salaries as much as I can and build the argument for where to land them going forward. Does your company use any definitive salary benchmark sources that cost $$$? Which ones? Any that are open-source/free? Which ones? Any that you recommend for/against? Going to crowd source this in several places and happy to share my results.

Thanks!

I read about RFCs and am pondering the idea of writing one to get rid of the platform. I have used AWS, Azure and GCP, the user experience on all is better them with our home grown platform. However it is so entrenched that I feel I need help writing this document, in exchange you all can use it for your company as there might be similar issues.

I wonder if this could be replace AWS Client VPN, if any cost savings. https://nordlayer.com/cloud-vpn/

related, has anyone tried HCP Boundary? How does it compare to a vpn solution etc?

Doing a little research as I familiarize myself with some new stuff at $work. I love this community and figured I'd start asking a few general questions to see if I'm seeing things similar to others.

Here it goes!

• What's your number one annoyance about Hashicorp Vault?
• If you want to use something like Hashi Vault, but aren't... why? What's stopping you?
• Lastly, do you care more about CLI vaulting tools, or SDK/Provider driven usage?
I'll have more in the future but I want to hear some thoughts on this since I've never used Hashi Vault myself, being more versed in Terraform, and haven't had to work around any limitations with it. Cheers! cc @Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) would love your insight as well if you can spare 5 mins or so on it.

Hey people! Does anyone still use chamber for managing App secrets? Currently, we are mounting AWS Secret Manager with ECS workloads, but honestly, I don’t like the current setup and I’m looking for something else. Chamber looks sweet, but it seems quite abandoned. Any thoughts?

Does anyone know if the unscripted conference is worth attending?

Hi everyone! There are 2 more speakers ahead.

You can still register in our amazing AWS Tech Conference and receive the recordings after event.
