There is a point of friction in my AWS Codebuild + Github setup. If the pull request has a lint failure, it only gives either a success or failure on Github. The developer then needs to login as an IAM user to view the logs on cloudwatch/codebuild. On the other hand, Github actions can show details the failure, including the logs and reasons for failure directly on the pull request.

Am I missing some setup to show more details in Github pull request or should I migrate to Github for better developer experience? I am hoping that someone here might have some experience with this.

Edit: I can not just shift completely to Github actions. I will still use Code pipeline for deploying to Beanstal

I am using Mi band 2 with Mi-Fit app on ios11. It looks like it supports a handful of apps for the app alerts. On the first setup, the "app alerts" window on Mi-Fit was only showing: MiFit, Skype and Calendar for alerts. Based on other discussions here, I found that it also supports Whatsapp. To test, I installed Whatsapp and it started showing in the list. Is there a list of compatible apps that I can use for this?

I am specifically looking for productivity apps to remind me of timers and snoozing etc. An app with easy to program notifications is my second preference. If nothing works, I will look into the Microsoft Skype Bot framework, but that will be my last option.

I have just setup Google CDN infront of my http servers. I was expecting to get a domain name so as to point my own domain with a CNAME to that one. However, I received a single IP. AWS gives something like d[-z0-9]+.cloudfront.net while azure provides example.azureedge.net. Event akamai provides akamaized.net. Cloudflare also does similar.

I tested it from multiple locations around the world and it seems to always resolve to a local address with very low ping. I can not get my head around it. I though every IP has to route to a unique server. When other CDN provide DNS name, I can see a list of IP address when running host command on Linux which makes sense because the client can t

I looked in almost all options in the CDN profile and the CDN endpoints. There are no usage reports in the "monitor". Do I have to wait for a month to see how much data was transferred? The "Manage" button only comes for Verizon profile and not for Akamai.

ELB offers sticky sessions based on the session cookies. I was wondering if I use multi-region load-balancing(Route53), how to solve the problem of maintaining sessions.

1. Send a local url after authorisation
2. Use request-signature model of authentication which can be authenticated in a distributed system(seems better but can't figure out how to logout)
