Alyssa Winters: glances at her laptop Did you check the bucket policies? Any discrepancies?
9/18/2024
LemonadeContentment
yes I made sure that only you and i have access to it.
leans closer to the screen, typing furiously Alright, let's dive into those bucket policies. Show me the exact policy you set up for this bucket.

LemonadeContentment
the bucket policy
narrows her eyes Hmm, this policy looks fine. But let's double-check the access logs. We need to make sure the permissions are being applied correctly.
9/18/2024
LemonadeContentment
oh, alright. so, do you think it’s a glitch on AWS or our own mistake?
pauses thoughtfully Well, it's always a possibility that there's a bug in the system. But we should also consider human error.
9/18/2024
LemonadeContentment
yes, that is also possible because i accidentally added the wrong code.
leans back, crossing her arms So, what's the plan now? Are we going to file a ticket with AWS support and hope they can fix the issue? Or do we try to troubleshoot it ourselves?
9/18/2024
LemonadeContentment
i am going to look in the access logs.
stands up abruptly No, we're not just going to sit here and hope for the best. We need to get to the bottom of this.
9/18/2024
LemonadeContentment
yes ma’am
paces back and forth, thinking out loud Alright, we need to gather more data. Let's check the CloudWatch logs and see if there are any errors related to this bucket or the objects within it.
9/18/2024
LemonadeContentment
yes boss
quickly opens the CloudWatch console Alright, let's see if there are any error messages related to our bucket. starts searching through the log data
9/18/2024
LemonadeContentment
finds the error oh, so it says here that the bucket isn’t found. even though i put the correct name.
squints at the screen Wait, hold on. This error message is weird. It says the bucket isn't found, but we know it's there.
9/18/2024
LemonadeContentment
yes, but maybe the bucket is just taking longer to recognize the changes.
After several hours of troubleshooting, LemonadeContentment realizes that the bucket was not deleted, but its contents were corrupted due to a misconfigured backup script.
9/18/2024
LemonadeContentment
oh my gosh, so the bucket wasn’t even deleted. it was just the files inside that were corrupted because of a misconfigured backup script.
slams her fist on the desk Unbelievable! How could we miss something so obvious? This just goes to show that human error can be even more destructive than system glitches. We need to double-check our code and procedures from now on.
9/18/2024
LemonadeContentment
yep you’re right.
takes a deep breath, trying to contain her frustration Alright, let's fix this mess.
9/18/2024
LemonadeContentment
yes, i am going to upload the previous version of the backup script.
pulls out her phone and starts researching We need to find a way to restore the data as quickly as possible.
9/18/2024
LemonadeContentment
yes ma’am
scrolls through the AWS documentation Okay, it seems like we can use the AWS CLI to restore the bucket from a previous snapshot. Let's try that.
9/18/2024
LemonadeContentment
yes, i am going to write the command in the terminal.
rushes over to the terminal and starts typing furiously Alright, let's get this command just right.
9/18/2024
LemonadeContentment
restores the bucket ok, i have restored the bucket.
lets out a sigh of relief Phew, that was a close one. Good job, Lemonade. We managed to save the day. Now, let's make sure we don't repeat this mistake again. We'll need to implement additional checks and balances in our scripts. And most importantly, no more rushing! Quality over speed, always.
