Arian | Ah yeh. DHCPv6 definitely handles delegated prefixes. Don't know about DHCP. Probably not | 19:45:27 |
commiterate | * which will require polling IMDS | 19:48:10 |
commiterate | also probably some other stuff related to VPC routing policies as well | 19:49:36 |
commiterate | I'd be surprised if DHCP or something else handled those automatically | 19:49:48 |
Arian | Well if you just have a single ip address there should be no issue | 19:50:14 |
Arian | Address belongs to a subnet. Subnet to interface
The enf | 19:50:24 |
commiterate | yeah for simple immutable setups, the net utils are unnecessary | 19:50:29 |
Arian | * Address belongs to a subnet. Subnet to interface
The end | 19:50:34 |
Arian | There are no routing conflicts. I also dont understand why its needed with secondary addresses | 19:50:55 |
Arian | Unless you have overlapping subnets from two different vpcs but then you're in a while other set of trouble? | 19:51:19 |
commiterate | there's probably some really weird multipath mesh VPC setups | 19:51:27 |
commiterate | though those should really be using PrivateLink or VPC Lattice | 19:51:52 |
Arian | Amazon's biggest mistake was VPCs | 19:51:54 |
Arian | EC2 classic was perfect | 19:51:59 |
commiterate | some insane enterprise customer probably started asking for these unnecessarily complicated features | 19:52:36 |
commiterate | in fact that customer was probably Amazon retail | 19:52:45 |
Arian | Customer isn't always right | 19:52:48 |
Arian | Especially when it's Amazon retail x) | 19:52:57 |
Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes) | AWS makes me nauseous | 19:53:03 |
commiterate | the Amazon.com VPC is...well...quite the hairball | 19:53:05 |
Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes) | i get lightheaded just thinking of AWS sometimes | 19:53:22 |
Arian | It's allowed to be a hairball . It's like 35 years old | 19:53:32 |
commiterate | it is but having seen some of it internally, it's inexcusable in some places | 19:53:58 |
Arian | Still waiting for the day AWS actually starts supporting ipv6 | 19:54:04 |
commiterate | pretty happy I was never on the retail side | 19:54:07 |
Arian | Instead of me having to NAT64 everything through NAT Gateway to get access to internal services | 19:54:27 |
commiterate | AWS services themselves use a really small subset of AWS services which are pretty reliable | 19:54:38 |
Arian | I had the pleasure of working with Amazon Marketplace Services team in my first job | 19:54:53 |
commiterate | most services are literally just 1 simple VPC and some NLB + EC2 instances or Lambda functions + API Gateway | 19:55:08 |
Arian | The API involved uploading templated Excel sheets with SOAP | 19:55:26 |
