For me to get higher marks I need to optimise my script and do something that could be counted as an extra feature, so I wanted to add a VPN to my system. Turned out I could not RDP into my server and it turned out my Routes needed to be pointing to 0.0.0.0/0 instead […]
I set a budget for my cloud formation on my new account so I could make sure I would never go over my budget. I set it to warn me when it’s estimated to go over 50% of the budget.
