Today... a dragon sent out to deploy two sets of static infrastructure stacks with some fairly completed aurora rsd mysql stuff...

That was 12 hours ago... and one stack is deployed but the databases still need to be built. So... many weird things went wrong... and ughskdfjdf mysql is very weird about allowed password characters... and I WAS BETRAYED BY PASSWORD GENERATORS TWICE!

Also... and then my coworker had forgotten to put my keys on a bastion host... and the devs that built the templates for got to add security group rules to allow any access to the dbs... for things like first time configuration.

So much fun but I learned the things... and fixed the things.. and made better documentation for the process and future...
