  AWS suspended my account for billing. I have zero due invoices and zero past-due invoices. Their own Amazon Q agent confirmed it in writing. P1 case 178635853400575, day 3, production still down. @AWSSupport what is the actual reason?

  You built your WordPress site over months (or years). One bad plugin/theme update can wipe it all out overnight. 😱 Plugin conflicts. Malware. A botched migration. A hacked server. The disasters that take down WordPress sites usually happen without warning. And here's the mistake most site owners make: they think their hosting provider's backup is enough. It's NOT. If the server fails, you lose both your site and the backup. We share the complete step-by-step guide for backing up your WordPress site the right way. Here is what you will learn: ✅ Use a Backup Plugin (Best for Most People): @DuplicatorWP is what we use across our sites. Full-site backups, disaster recovery links, and restore without having the plugin pre-installed. Free version available, Pro has scheduled backups. ✅ Use Your Hosting Provider's Backup: SiteGround (where WPBeginner is hosted) includes manual and automated daily backups on all plans. Bluehost partners with CodeGuard and Jetpack for their built-in options. ✅ Manual Backup With cPanel or FTP: Use cPanel's Backup Wizard for a full backup, or connect via FileZilla FTP to download your wp-content, themes, plugins, and wp-config.php files directly. ✅ Send Backups to Cloud Storage: Duplicator and UpdraftPlus both connect natively to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Amazon S3. Never store backups on the same server as your website. If your host fails, both are gone. ✅ Set Up Automatic Scheduled Backups: Configure hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly backups in Duplicator based on how often you publish. eCommerce stores and busy blogs need daily. Slower-moving sites can get away with weekly. Ready to protect years of hard work with a proper WordPress backup system? Read the full ultimate step-by-step guide 👇 (Link is in the thread below)

  @QuinnyPig @awscloud Hopefully better than the "new" broken elastic beanstalk console experience.

  @QuinnyPig @awscloud Are they gonna fix people needing to know what region their orgs IAM identity center is deployed in order to set up cli login? (How the heck would an employee know this??)

  @krassenstein @Tesla Be careful. All these at the same time makes me think they are hacked, I’m fairly certain Amazon AWS was hacked that day when everything when down, given my Grok we hacked and no one ever gave explanation. I’m no expert but ya know, all these signs are pointing to this. Also, the Obamas helped produce a movie where someone hacked our satellites and alluded to it being the Middle East and all the teslas went haywire and self drive themselves to pile up on all the freeways. I wish I remembered the name however I made note of this terrifying movie given Obama clearly knows things we don’t. Just sayin, these incidents aren’t scattered. I would not be driving that ***** if I were you.

  Day 1 : "How to Scale an App to 10 Million Users on AWS" If I have to design a system for 10 million users, I won't build everything on Day 1 because it will add unnecessary complexity and cost. I'll start simple with one application server and one database. As traffic grows, if the server starts reaching its CPU, memory, or storage limits, I'll first scale vertically by moving to a bigger instance. Once that is not enough, I'll separate the backend and database so both can scale independently. To avoid a single point of failure, I'll deploy the application across multiple Availability Zones and put a Load Balancer in front so if one server or AZ goes down, traffic is automatically routed to healthy servers. As the number of users keeps increasing, I'll make my application stateless by storing sessions in Redis. This allows me to add multiple application servers behind the Load Balancer and scale horizontally. If my database starts getting overloaded with reads, I'll use Redis to cache frequently accessed data and add read replicas to distribute read traffic. For static assets like images, CSS, and JavaScript, I'll store them in Amazon S3 and serve them through CloudFront so requests don't keep hitting my application servers. If traffic suddenly spikes during sales or events, I'll enable Auto Scaling with CloudWatch metrics so AWS automatically adds or removes servers based on demand. As the application becomes larger, I'll split the monolith into microservices. This allows each service, like authentication, payments, or notifications, to scale independently instead of scaling the entire application. If the database becomes the bottleneck, especially for write operations, I'll use sharding or federation depending on the data and business requirements. Finally, when users are spread across the world, I'll deploy the application in multiple AWS Regions to reduce latency and improve availability. My approach is always the same: find the bottleneck, solve that bottleneck, and only introduce more complexity when the current architecture can no longer handle the traffic.

  @amazon @awscloud @nvidia Having trouble My account was flagged for suspicious activity. 3 fraud charges on credit card. Rep told me charges would be reversed. He told me to cancel credit card & Amazon account. Now I'm stuck with hundreds of dollars in fraud charges. I'm a senior.

  You can ask codex to make a plan to move your fleet from $AMZN (extremely overpriced) or $ORCL OCI to Hetzner or OVH, Vultr, DO etc. Save a ton. In theory this should hurt Amazon AWS margins. A lot. OTOH, I have been wrong about this for years. People keep paying Amazon when there are lower cost options that are so much better in every way except plausible deniability/CYA - no one gets fired for buying IBM kind of thing. @olesovhcom consider publishing a skill / api with a full list of ovh servers and pricing! Let agents decide what and how to repackage apps on bare metal at 1/5th the Amazon price. And fix your billing, so companies can buy.
