I'm blocking connections from AWS to my on-prem services
apologize for yet another digression. The direct result of bulletproof infrastructure / cloud providers which are "too big to fail" is the balkanized internet.
So basically: Al Gore didn't invent the internet, but he and Newt Gingrich decriminalized it, which is to say pried loose the Hatch Act's death grip and allowed some public access. The DNS server deserves a special technical mention because it uses UDP with fallback to TCP: it provides limited public access to security telemetry (you can taste it: dig @131.191.85.30 'fail2ban;*.keys.redis.athena.m3047' txt). I don't always paint within the lines, but I presently have 53 CIDRs which collectively represent all of the AWS address space which abuse targets / comes from; on the other hand at times I can see twice that number of temporary firewall rules.
