Thx! Maybe an opportunity for SAR lambda healthcheck that reflects https://status.aws.amazon.com/ status 😉

Replying to @EwanToo
And I won my self-bet that the single region was us-east-1 😀
Given the biased failure mode, seems challenging to setup a CloudWatch alarm to properly detect for this.
Good advice. As @johnmorell0 notes, many concerns are #serverless independent. Serverless does provide a way to more tightly scope POLA and supply better containment/observability info. But that comes with its own configuration overhead and tendency to drift.
Sorry about that & nice to meet you @morellonet 👋

True. But if N-1 complete with ✅, N goes over quota/missing service in region and fails for instance.

Replying to @brianleroux
IMO there are latent issues that are largely intractable with VM/container deploys.
If a team is “all-in” on serverless and is rearchitecting/greenfielding, they have an opportunity to shift security left & build POLA for specific handlers now.
Replying to @brianleroux
In theory you could do something similar for monoliths & VMs, but it would have been really painful to manage.
You can now cleanly express & serverless workflows tend to be more explicit via source/sinks, so setting per-path privs is really appealing IMO. But also me, 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
