Being that I recently took the plunge to a static site hosted on AWS S3 I thought I would create a post outlining the high-level process for future reference. There are quite a few blogs in the interwebs outining this process, but if this helps someone else too then it’s a win-win. If you are curious as to WHY I migrated, you can find a short bit about that in this post.

This is old news, but I recently found out that Jeff Bezos considered “Relentless” as a possible name for his company instead of Amazon. If this is news to you as well, you can read a short article about it from Business Insider here. Webster Dictionary defines “relentless” this way: showing or promising no abatement of severity, intensity, strength, or pace For some reason this word has stuck with me the past couple of weeks.

CloudShark released a new packet capture challenge for this Christmas season! Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to participate right now, but I wanted to reshare this for those of you that do. I also wanted this to serve as a reminder for me to come back to it later. Good luck!

Moving to S3 I’m currently in the process of moving my blog to Amazon S3. I’m not the first to do this and I won’t be the last. My reasons for this are similar to everyone else. Wordpress is an excellent blogging and site platform. I have really enjoyed working with it and getting to know its innards. As I continuously evaluate the purpose of my site though, I have to keep the technology behind it in sync.

Yesterday I sat for the AWS Solutions Architect Associate exam and passed! Thanks to the teams at A Cloud Guru and WhizLabs for the training.   

Well, Tom and the team at CloudShark have put together an excellent packet capture challenge on their blog once again. It has actually been awhile since I’ve dug into a capture due to my recent shift in focus to Amazon Web Services, so this was a lot of fun for me. I feel like once you’re a “packet junkie” you are always one! <span style="color: #ff0000;">*SPOILER ALERT*</span> The rest of this post describes the challenge and the process I followed for solving the challenge.
