AWS Certified Solutions Architect

I'm happy to announce a new achievement,
I passed the AWS Certified Solutions Architect exam

improved secret management

I removed secrets from the environment variables and stored and retrieved them from AWS Secret Manager. 

Installed neovim + kickstart.nvim

 doing it on windows - for the haters

Flashed the BIOS

 It's been a while since I've had to flash the BIOS of a device.
The first time didn't seem to work, but probably it just needed another reboot.

SES managed pool

Today was the first time that I've setup a managed IP pool on AWS/SES.
The process seems easy enough, I'll need to monitor it over the next few days.
I would have preferred to have applied it via Cloudformation,
but the environment still has a lot of legacy config that hasn't been imported into CF yet.

First time fixing a corrupt github action

There was a failure on github actions today which seemed to corrupt the action responsible for publishing my github page crowne.githhub.io .
I couldn't cancel it from the command line using
> gh run cancel 132546789

I couldn't cancel it using curl.
Eventually switching the page source to none and then back to main worked.

Upgrade AKS cluster

I'm waiting for the Dev AKS cluster upgrade to finish.
Going from 1.31.7 to 1.32.9, I never remember these numbers so jotting it down here, hopefully it all goes smoothly.
