Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real

vault_aws_auth

These are python 2 and 3 snippets showing how to generate headers to authenticate with HashiCorp's Vault using the AWS authentication method. There's also a Ruby implementation which uses version 3 of the AWS SDK for Ruby.

The python scripts look for credentials in the default boto3 locations; if you need to supply custom credentials (such as from an AssumeRole call), you would use the botocore.session.set_credentials method before calling create_client.
