Usecase
https://github.com/cloudposse/helmfiles/blob/master/helmfile.d/0320.nginx-ingress.yaml#L152

@antonbabenko https://www.iopipe.com/

how I tail CW Logs:
# aws-vault exec customername --no-session -- awslogs get Apache_Site_Access_Log-stage ALL --watch

AWS Lambda function in Python3 which is generating code from cloudcraft diagrams is here - https://github.com/antonbabenko/modules.tf-lambda/

Also meant to ask everyone on the call after Erik mentioned the SSH-via-SSM-agent:
what do folks think about AWS's latest closed-source agent:
- "unified" aws cloudwatch agent (written in golang, based on available debug symbols)

can you share a link?

- https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/Install-CloudWatch-Agent.html

Previous versions of the agent were either in perl or python.

wonder why it's closed source

doesn't seem merited

I've had a back-n-forth with CW team (via support) and they have no plan to release the source. Just wondering why this doesn't raise more eyebrows.

wonder if it's just a timing thing. that they didn't have time to clean it up for release.

...wow no plan

debug symbols tell me they're using internal-only golang libraries

so they'd have to opensource those bits first

Good news @tamsky. I also didn’t know about it before.

it = ? 😃

it = CW agent in go 🙂

too late here for me %)

i've used the cloudwatch agent and like it more than their prior tooling around cloudwatch

sorry i missed the meeting
