Issues/Questions:

  1. Need to populate rabbitmq & bridge metrics/logs via datadog

  2. solely for formatting because markdown sux

  3. Need to understand Packer fundamentals

    • ~~have run into a credentials issue: Build 'amazon-ebs' errored: error validating regions: AuthFailure: AWS was not able to validate the provided access credentials status code: 401, request id: 54f82222-6e9d-4492-bed0-d196ba40edb9~~
    • I missed a character from one of the variables I exported 🤦‍♀️
    • Ran into another formatting issue, asked for assistance. will resolve once I hear back
    • Was about to figure out the formatting issue with the help of the packer template docs

  4. how do we use the snippet that megan provided? we definitely don't need all of what is in there

Solutions:

  1. finally finished this work and marked the task as complete

  2. Interviewed a candidate for the Release Engineering role

  3. Going through Packer documentation and examples (12:30pm)

    • because I always forget, looked up definition of AMI and read through AWS documentation on it
    • also here is documentation on how to launch a custom AMI via AWS
    • completed walkthrough of packer installation/example image creation
    • a helpful glossary for packer
