Using AWS CostExplorer to find forgotten services
In this post I’ll give an introduction to Budgets, and walk through using Cost Explorer to find a forgotten Sagemaker notebook.

In the following examples, I’ll show how to renew certs with domains hosted on AWS/Route53 and GoDaddy. I run certbot with scripts within a docker container (to simplify automation), however you can use CLI.
The ability to experiment is one of the unsung benefits of cloud computing. It was, in fact what drew me to AWS in 2008. At Chariot, we have multiple sandbox environments, some for specific projects and some for general play, and recommend that our clients do the same. However, sandboxes need some controls, to ensure that they don’t become a source of runaway costs.
While users don’t think a whole lot about underlying software design, it’s an essential part of getting the customer experience right. Listen to our interview with Pete Fleming, Head of UX at Chariot Solutions.
The Representative State Transfer (REST) protocol has been the king of remote access protocols for web applications for well over a decade. The general pattern: expose “nouns” (Customers, Activities, Employees, Tasks, Sasquatches) as URLs (/api/sasquatch/32) and access them via HTTP “verbs” such as “GET”, “POST” (create), “PUT” (update), or “DELETE” (umm, well…). The content type is specified via HTTP headers such as Content-Type (for data being received by the client) and Accepts (for a data request). The reason this works…
I’ve been experimenting with Workspaces for a week now, and have configured an instance for aws re:Invent for those times I want to hack. Coupled with an iPad Air, a bluetooth mouse, and the keyboard case, I have desktop I can pull up anywhere.
Chariot’s AWS Practice Lead, Keith Gregory, recaps his experience at Amazon’s re:Invent conference in 2019.
If you weren’t able to attend our IoT on AWS one-day conference, here’s a recap.
Optimizing wireframes is worth the effort because it will save time in the long run, and better facilitate the implementation to meet the vision.
Given that hardcoding is a bad idea, how should you manage your AWS keys? AWS gives you three options, which we analyze in this post.
