VaEira - 2020

Chevra, this week’s parsha is וָאֵרָא (VaEira). Multiple times in the parsha, that includes 7 of the 10 plagues, it says that Paro’s heart was hardened. It goes to show that if Paro was running on AWS, he could have gotten the benefit of our enhanced security, hardened AMI (AWS Linux 2), serverless (where he wouldn’t have to harden anything except his code). It seems that Paro left himself open to security vulnerabilities. In the end HaShem got his way (of course), but it could have been that if Paro had hardened his application and platform that the path could have been easier and managed by AWS instead. ;-) Shabbat Shalom.
