Over the past year, AWS customers have faced a significant challenge: unexpected high costs due to error calls to their S3 buckets. In one post on Medium a user found that his bucket name overlapped with the default configuration for storing backups.  The result? Hundreds of thousands of failing requests, all of which they were being charged for.   The article detailed interactions with AWS support indicating this was expected behavior. This issue gained attention and AWS set to working on a solution. This month AWS announced that they will no longer charge for several HTTP error codes when requests are made to S3 buckets. There are a number of 3xx and 4xx HTTP error codes that account owners are not billed for, but the major change is not billing for 403 Access Denied error codes when the request originates from outside of the account owner's AWS account. This change protects customers from billing spikes caused by uncontrollable, external traffic. It's refreshing to see AWS stay true to their philosophy of customer obsession by listening to feedback and implementing meaningful changes. AWS has added context to S3 403 error messages to help bucket owners isolate what is causing the traffic. Looking for more guidance on the latest AWS best practices and managing your costs?  We can help you with a Well-Architected Framework Review. https://lnkd.in/gQKKd5fb #aws #s3 #costoptimization #cloud

In the world of tech consulting, talk is cheap. At Commerce Architects, we let our results speak for themselves. Our secret? A blend of top-tier talent, unwavering collaboration, and a passion for pushing the boundaries of what's possible. When a leading shipping industry player approached us with a high-stakes logistics puzzle and a ticking clock, our engineers, Hieu Tran and Ryan Criswell knocked it out of the park. 🎯 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞  Our client faced a complex challenge: how to optimize their shipping logistics in an increasingly competitive market. They needed a solution that could: •Predict optimal shipping routes and methods •Reduce costs while maintaining or improving delivery times •Leverage their vast historical data to gain actionable insights •Be implemented quickly to showcase at a crucial customer marketing event 💡 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞  In just six weeks, Hieu and Ryan successfully transitioned a proof-of-concept Machine Learning model into a full production environment, designed to predict and optimize shipping logistics. While our client initially doubted the feasibility of this timeline, our team got laser-focused and delivered a sophisticated solution. 🚀 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭  The model leverages historical shipping data to identify key patterns and recommend optimal strategies for cost and delivery time optimization—a critical advantage in today's competitive market. This achievement marks a substantial leap forward in how our client utilizes their existing data to gain operational insights. 🤝 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠  When roadblocks emerged, Hieu and Ryan worked closely with the client to identify alternative solutions, building strong relationships that fostered a high level of collaboration. Their efforts ensured that the project stayed on track and that any challenges were swiftly overcome. Their work is a testament to our commitment to #NextLevelEngineering—where technical innovation and trusted partnership meet business impact, setting new benchmarks for what can be achieved in short timeframes. Are you looking at a project with high stakes, high impact, and a tight deadline? Bring it. #aws #machinelearning #logistics #datamodeling

If you weren’t keeping a close eye on AWS news, you might have missed a significant update. AWS has recently and quietly stopped allowing new customers to access a few of their services. This is a bit of a shift from their usual approach, where even lesser-used services stayed live indefinitely. But with the vast array of services AWS offers, it’s understandable that they’d eventually streamline and focus on what’s most effective or where stronger alternatives exist. ⚙️ The catch? This change was made without a formal announcement. 🕵️♂️ Product pages and documentation are still available, and the only clue came when new customers began seeing error messages when trying to provision certain services, like Git repositories in CodeCommit. Jeff Barr did mention on Twitter (https://lnkd.in/gMqsejJq) that some services were no longer available to new customers, but didn’t list them all. After some digging, here’s what we know is impacted: • CodeCommit • S3 Select • CloudSearch • Cloud9 • SimpleDB • Forecast • Data Pipeline Will AWS make a formal announcement? Who knows. 🤷♂️ But let’s hope this stealthy approach doesn’t become their new norm. Do you rely on any of these services? Drop us a comment—let’s talk about the impact.💬
