Chevre, this week’s parsha is Acharei Mot (אַחֲרֵ֣י מ֔וֹת). Acharei Mot (after the death) is referring to the death of Aharon’s sons. It appears that we are receiving a bunch of clarifying laws (ex: permissible biblical relations) after the fall of these 2. In the cloud or in devops we talk about failing often and fast so that we can learn from our mistakes. In the real world (IRL, in real life), that is less of an option. We need to assess the risks involved based on our experience and make educated decisions if what we are trying to do or accomplish. The risk to me to not have smoke detectors in every bedroom (and a few other areas around house) is too great considering the cost of the devices and their minimal upkeep. The risk of a Lambda failing as I develop it is little to none. In this parsha, we are receiving guidelines to help us determine what is not permitted so we can make better decisions that could impact our relationships with each other and/or with HaShem. The Talmud famously goes to extremes to understand where the edge of permitted/prohibited is so that we know where the line resides. There is no foul line or out of bounds line IRL. Additionally, the sages have created fences (maybe in the baseball analogy we’ll call it a warning track) to prevent folks from getting to close to the line and accidentaly crossing it. In AWS we have configurations via security tools/services like SCP (Security Control Policies) and IAM (Identity and Access Management) that account owners and CCOE teams (Cloud Center of Excellence) can implement to prevent folks from crossing the line of what is permitted. Shabbat Shalom.
