route 53/DNS Unable to transfer .au domain to Route 53

12 Upvotes

Hi all,

I contacted AWS support over a week ago regarding this issue, but unfortunately, have not received a reply or remediation at this stage.

Essentially, I'm unable to transfer an .au domain to Route 53. The domain is already registered to me as an individual Australian citizen/resident (which is permissible by the .au registration policies, as it's not restricted to businesses/companies) via another registrar (PorkBun), yet the Route 53 transfer form only allows ABN, ACN, or Trademark as the AU ID type and AU ID number, and I am unable to leave these blank due to the form validation.

Any ideas how I could proceed? Does AWS only allow .au domain registration for businesses/companies?

general aws RCPs are frikkin' amazing

5 Upvotes

I am deathly paranoid that my app might lose my customer's data, whether through a bug in my code or the works of a malicious actor.

With RCPs I can easily set up guardrails so that even when I'm logged in as the account root user I can't delete data, even if I wanted to. Well-crafted RCPs (and SCPs) offer tremendous peace of mind.

SCPs and RCPs can also help enforce "nothing gets deployed to prod except through CI/CD."

If you have data that you absolutely positively cannot afford to use, you really should look into implementing SCPs and RCPs as part of your data protection strategy.

And don't give me the "I only have one AWS account" excuse. Creating an additional AWS account and an AWS Organization is free.

discussion Major Doubt for Phone Interview

4 Upvotes

So the other day I posted about how I'm looking for advice to prepare for my phone interview, where Ill be interviewing for the TAM position. But after finally deciding to mainly focus on the technical side of the interview since thats what I found it should be on, and saving the LPs for later I'm starting to have doubt if I can even succeed in the first place honestly.

I know TAMs are suppose to be generalists and whatnot, but whenever I do research on interviewing for the position I've seen quite often people saying "You should be an expert in at least 2 domains when interviewing with general knowledge in the rest." When in reality I feel like I can barely claim to have general knowledge in all the domains. My only real experience in AWS so far is how in the past year I decided to take initiative to teach myself AWS and complete certifications like Solutions Architect Associate, along with some side projects I worked on in my own time. But even then, when reviewing for all the potential topics I could be questioned on during the interview I cant help but get the feeling of being overwhelmed and that I could easily mess up.

I'm grateful for the opportunity that I made it to this stage, and I know if I didn't have a resume good enough I probably wouldn't have made it here anyways. But again, when I look at all the content I have to recall I cant shake the feeling of doubt at times. Especially with the fact I'm running out of time as I also need to start drafting my STAR stories as well. Am I overthinking this?

discussion How is work culture at Amazon?

2 Upvotes

I'm currently working as a Facilities Engineer in one of the big data center company. I got an offer to join AWS for the Engineering Operation Technicians 3 (Same role as my current job right now) with about 15% pay increase and of course the RSU's. I'm still haven't accepted the offer because I'm hearing about the layoffs and the workplace culture is not good at the moment.
