Amazon is Almost

Amazon is Almost

AWS is full of almost things. This is a list of surprises across all services. Your job as an engineer is to think critically about trade offs. Amazon is an abstraction on hardware. You reap hardware bliss ignorance but you pay for the abstraction. There is no free lunch. Hardware still exists. Hardware in itself is an abstraction.

With AWS you are renting a hardware abstraction to avoid having to host your own. They do not run the abstractions after this point. You do.

Minimalist, bash-only utility script to push a file to S3 bucket. AWS ID & Key can be passed via environment or on command line. Only dependency is openssl tools (usually default). Name is an homage to Joe Stump.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
#
# Upload a file to the Amazon S3 service
# Usage:
# neckbeard-push FILE S3_BUCKET [-a ACL_POLICY] [-i AWS_ACCESS_ID] [-k AWS_SECRET_KEY] [-d debug] [-l write verbose session log]
# Note: If option -l is requested, curl_session.log contains SSL handshake *and* plaintext AWS keys
#
# Ex 1: neckbeard-push foo.log my-bucket -a public-read (with env vars: $AWS_ACCESS_ID & $AWS_SECRET_KEY)
# Ex 2: neckbeard-push foo.log my-bucket -a private -i AKIXXXXX -k aBcDeFgHxxx -d

An update to @peplin's work on https://gist.github.com/peplin/470321 that makes this gist compatible with the more modern AWS-SDK gem and new APIs, and updates for Chef 11.x (still works with 10.x too).

Business models based on the compiled list at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4924647. I find the link very hard to browse, so I made a simple version in Markdown instead.
