fedoraFreak: jury rigged makeshift urine filtration system utilizing serveral gorgeous silk socks, stretched like drum over open mailbox. fedoraFreak: filters adequately, remains yellow, unpalatable. fedoraFreak: storing unimbibed urine in rumpled, unsightly fedora. fedoraFreak: p.s. - they are all rumpled and unsightly, unfortunately.

Fedorafreak remains the best character in Homestuck.

Anyway, we evidently missed something pretty critical. The last time we saw John, he was about to prototype the kernel - and now he's napping. Either Vriska is interfering, or something is going down on Skaia.

TT: Why were you sleeping?

Not quite in the loop on everything, are you, Seer?

I feel like that should be a red flag for you - a sign that you should be catching up with your friends a little more. If you were, you'd have learned about Vriska's sleep-sniping habits from John or Kanaya, and you wouldn't be so surprised.

EB: i couldn't have been out for that long, because my dream was really short. TT: You weren't. TT: Ten minutes, I'd say.

It's over.

Something critical has happened here - and I'd bet a Grist Hoard that it happened because John slept through it. Someone was 8iding their time, waiting for the right moment to influence events in their favor.

I told you to be careful around that girl, John.

EB: can you see me somehow? TT: Yes. TT: I have a crystal ball. [...] EB: can it show you the future? [...] TT: No, it can only show me various locations in the present moment, as far as I can tell.

A versatile tool for a Seer, just like Dave's timetables are for him.

Perhaps every Player makes a 'classpect tool' to aid them with their specialty. You could even argue that John's is his jetpack, which allows him to acquaint himself with the air.

...that said, the trolls had rocket gear, too. His classpect tool, if it exists, will probably be more specifically tied to his Heir-of-Breathness.

TT: My perception of the future has been informed by other sources. [...] TT: Whispering gods, memories sifted from dreams, cryptic readings from unearthed talismans, conclusions drawn from riddles deciphered - every gambit you'd expect a quest to extend to an emerging seer. TT: Just as I presume an heir would be supplied with what's needed for his maturation, assuming he's looking for it.

So if you're willing to embrace your Title, the game will sort of... meet you halfway?

Well, that's easy for a Seer to say. The game provides plenty of obvious ways for you to learn more about the world around you. What's an Heir supposed to do? Who can he inherit from?

Maybe John's ultimate goal as an Heir has something to do with the Royal Families. If so, he'd better get a move on - one of them is already extinct.

TT: Sometimes trolls blither tidbits about the future, and I can't help but take note of it. TT: Just as they do with you. TT: You also have access to the oracle clouds in Skaia, whereas I do not.

You could take a peek at them with your crystal ball, couldn't you?

Actually, maybe not. The clouds are probably 'hard-coded' as a Prospit perk. The same way Jade found the Furthest Ring unpleasant and overwhelming, Rose would probably find nothing of value in those clouds.

TT: Knowing the future is no remarkable feat here. TT: It appears to be a fact of life. TT: I'm not all that special, John.

Knowing the future isn't that special - but you're sidestepping the fact that that's not currently your specialty. What makes you unusual, I believe, is the out-of-bounds information you have about the game, and the big picture surrounding it and the Green Sun.

Volume Initialization Rate Increases Snapshot Maintenance

Initial Volume Rate

Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) now speeds up data transmission from an EBS snapshot, a reliable backup of volumes stored there, to a new EBS volume: Rate of Provisioning for Volume Initialisation in Amazon Elastic Block Store.

With Amazon EBS Provisioned Rate for Volume Initialisation, you may create fully working EBS volumes. This speeds up initialising hundreds of volumes and instances. This capability can also swiftly establish and initialise an EBS volume for snapshot recovery. EBS Snapshots let you copy volumes to another AWS account, Availability Zone, or Region. The Provisioned Rate for Volume Initialisation for each volume depends on the snapshot size and volume initialisation rate.

This new capability speeds up volume initialisation by retrieving data from an EBS Snapshot to an EBS volume at a consistent rate between 100 MiB/s and 300 MiB/s. An Amazon S3 snapshot block download rate can be specified as the volume initialisation rate.

Set the volume initialisation rate to create a fully functional volume in a predictable period, improving operational efficiency and offering insight into completion time. Using tools like fio/dd to speed up volume initialisation for processes like application recovery and volume copy for testing and development would minimise the operational strain of handling such scripts with consistency and predictability.

Describe Amazon EBS

Create Amazon EBS storage volumes and connect them to EC2 instances. These volumes can be used as block storage, databases, or file systems once joined. Amazon EBS volumes are automatically copied in an Availability Zone to prevent component failure. High availability and snapshot features are included into all EBS volume types.

Amazon EBS advantages

Scale fast: For mission-critical programs like Microsoft, SAP, and Oracle, scale swiftly.

High performance: io2 Block Express volumes are 99.999% durable and highly available, including replication in AZs, to prevent failures.

Storage and cost: Choose storage that fits your workload. Volumes range from high IOPS and throughput to low dollar-per-GB.

You can encrypt block storage resources without creating, managing, or protecting your own key management system. Limit public access and lock data backups to protect your data.

Simple data protection: Amazon EBS Snapshots, a point-in-time copy, may secure block storage data on-premises and in the cloud, aid disaster recovery, migrate data between regions and accounts, and improve backup compliance. AWS simplifies snapshot lifespan management with Amazon Data lifetime Manager, which lets you automate snapshot production, deletion, retention, and sharing.

Start by setting volume initialisation rate

You can build your volume from the snapshot or choose the initialisation rate when you create your EC2 instance.

Volume creation in EC2 launch wizard

You may set the volume initialisation rate for new EC2 instances under the Storage (volumes) section of the launch wizard.

You may set the volume initialisation rate while generating and updating EC2 Launch Templates.

Block device mappings can contain VolumeInitializationRate in AWS CLI run-instances.

Snapshot-based volume creation

Choose Create volume and configure the Volume initialisation rate in the EC2 interface to create a snapshot-based volume.

You may use VolumeInitializationRate in the AWS CLI and create-volume command.

You may define the volume initialisation rate when provisioning EBS volumes and replacing Amazon EC2 instance root volumes with the EBS Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver.

EBS will monitor the hydration status after generating the volume and send an Amazon Event Bridge message to your account when it is complete to ensure volume performance.

Now available

Now, all EBS volume types may use the Amazon EBS Provisioned Rate for Volume Initialisation. Your price depends on the snapshot size and volume initialisation rate. Visit Amazon EBS Pricing for more.

Learn about Amazon EBS, including this feature, in the free online AWS Skill Builder course. Use cases, architecture diagrams, and examples included in the course.

What Is Amazon EBS? Features Of Amazon EBS And Pricing

Amazon Elastic Block Store: High-performance, user-friendly block storage at any size

What is Amazon EBS?

Amazon Elastic Block Store provides high-performance, scalable block storage with Amazon EC2 instances. AWS Elastic Block Store can create and manage several block storage resources:

Amazon EBS volumes: Amazon EC2 instances can use Amazon EBS volumes. A volume associated to an instance can be used to install software and store files like a local hard disk.

Amazon EBS snapshots: Amazon EBS snapshots are long-lasting backups of Amazon EBS volumes. You can snapshot Amazon EBS volumes to backup data. Afterwards, you can always restore new volumes from those snapshots.

Advantages of the Amazon Elastic Block Store

Quickly scale

For your most demanding, high-performance workloads, including mission-critical programs like Microsoft, SAP, and Oracle, scale quickly.

Outstanding performance

With high availability features like replication within Availability Zones (AZs) and io2 Block Express volumes’ 99.999% durability, you can guard against failures.

Optimize cost and storage

Decide which storage option best suits your workload. From economical dollar-per-GB to high performance with the best IOPS and throughput, volumes vary widely.

Safeguard

You may encrypt your block storage resources without having to create, manage, and safeguard your own key management system. Set locks on data backups and limit public access to prevent unwanted access to your data.

Easy data security

Amazon EBS Snapshots, a point-in-time copy that can be used to allow disaster recovery, move data across regions and accounts, and enhance backup compliance, can be used to protect block data storage both on-site and in the cloud. With its integration with Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager, AWS further streamlines snapshot lifecycle management by enabling you to establish policies that automate various processes, such as snapshot creation, deletion, retention, and sharing.

How it functions

Use cases

Create your cloud-based, I/O-intensive, mission-critical apps

Switch to the cloud for mid-range, on-premises storage area network (SAN) applications. Attach block storage that is both high-performance and high-availability for applications that are essential to the mission.

Utilize relational or NoSQL databases

Install and expand the databases of your choosing, such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Cassandra, MongoDB, and SAP HANA.

Appropriately scale your big data analytics engines

Detach and reattach volumes effortlessly, and scale clusters for big data analytics engines like Hadoop and Spark with ease.

Features of Amazon EBS

It offers the following features:

Several volume kinds: Amazon EBS offers a variety of volume types that let you maximize storage efficiency and affordability for a wide range of uses. There are two main sorts of volume types: HDD-backed storage for workloads requiring high throughput and SSD-backed storage for transactional workloads.

Scalability: You can build Amazon EBS volumes with the performance and capacity requirements you want. You may adjust performance or dynamically expand capacity using Elastic Volumes operations as your needs change, all without any downtime.

Recovery and backup: Back up the data on your disks using Amazon EBS snapshots. Those snapshots can subsequently be used to transfer data between AWS accounts, AWS Regions, or Availability Zones or to restore volumes instantaneously.

Data protection: Encrypt your Amazon EBS volumes and snapshots using Amazon EBS encryption. To secure data-at-rest and data-in-transit between an instance and its connected volume and subsequent snapshots, encryption procedures are carried out on the servers that house Amazon EC2 instances.

Data availability and durability: io2 Block Express volumes have an annual failure rate of 0.001% and a durability of 99.999%. With a 0.1% to 0.2% yearly failure rate, other volume types offer endurance of 99.8% to 99.9%. To further guard against data loss due to a single component failure, volume data is automatically replicated across several servers in an Availability Zone.

Data archiving: EBS Snapshots Archive provides an affordable storage tier for storing full, point-in-time copies of EBS Snapshots, which you must maintain for a minimum of ninety days in order to comply with regulations. and regulatory purposes, or for upcoming project releases.
