AWS Systems Manager’s Fleet Manager is a useful tool for managing Amazon EC2 instances on your account.

2023-04-26T07:40:26+00:00

If you use Discord, Slack, or Telegram, you're probably familiar with those long and complicated invite links used to join servers or channels. These links can be difficult to remember and may even discourage some people from joining. With URL redirection, you can create a custom and easy-to-remember domain name for your invite links. For example, you might use a domain like "discord.mycoolsite.com" that redirects to the invitation page of your Discord server, which might look something like this: "discord.com/invite/aabbCCDD". Inviting people thru a custom domain can reinforce your brand and make it easier for others to share and join [...]

In hybrid environments, configuring Amazon Route 53 hosted zones can be tricky. Your VPC and on-premises resources may need to resolve DNS names hosted on the [...]
