My SAA-C03 AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate Exam Experience

2023-04-05T07:09:33+00:00

My team and I took the recently released AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 exam version recently. The SAA-C03 test replaced the old SAA-C02 exam version last August. If you can compare the official exam guide of the previous SAA-C02 version with the latest one (SAA-C03), you may notice that the exam domains are almost exactly the same but with quite different domain percentages. For example, the "Design Secure Applications and Architectures" domain from the previous SAA-C02 version was renamed to just "Design Secure Architectures" domain. This one had an initial 24% exam coverage and then increased to as [...]

Whitelisting Access to Application Load Balancer Through The Use of AWS WAF

2023-05-26T05:14:45+00:00

Load balancing an application is a common approach to distributing traffic among multiple servers. It has a breadth of benefits that can optimize performance, including availability and responsiveness, as it spreads the workload from one server to another, preventing server overload. AWS has a wide variety of load balancer types. But one of the most commonly used for web servers is the Application Load Balancer (ALB), as it functions at the application layer, the seventh layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. After setting up an ALB, it is also essential to consider security as it’s one of the [...]

Building Dynamic Start and Stop Scheduler Functions for Non-Distributed Applications Under Auto-Scaling Group

2023-05-26T04:50:32+00:00

In AWS, it’s of utmost importance to consider the cost in every aspect. In fact, cost optimization is one of the 6 pillars of a well-architected framework, therefore, it must be included in every step in building solutions in AWS. There are infinite ways to reduce bills but one of the most popular ones for EC2 instances is to start or stop them, especially if they don't need to run 24/7. But constantly doing this manually can be quite tedious and can significantly increase the operational load. It involves human intervention and hence, piling up its risks for human errors. [...]

Real-time Monitoring of 5XX Errors using AWS Lambda, CloudWatch Logs and Slack

2023-04-28T01:34:19+00:00

Monitoring is the best friend of every system administrator. It gives visibility into what is happening on your application so that when an issue occurs, you or someone in your team could be alerted and do the necessary measures to mitigate it. However, this can only be as effective as the metrics you're keeping track of.  There are plenty of factors that can affect application performance. And while it’s difficult to stay on top of them all, there are certain metrics that are non-negotiable. Examples of these are CPU utilization, memory usage, disk space, disk usage, network throughput, and so [...]

Automatically stop non-production RDS databases with AWS Lambda and Amazon EventBridge

2023-05-26T05:23:48+00:00

Every AWS service offering comes with a pay-as-go pricing model, empowering businesses, small or large, to be flexible at experimenting and making changes as they build their products to market. This pricing model is similar to riding an Uber, where you only pay for the distance covered, or to electric bills where you’re charged based on actual energy consumption. Of course, the more devices you have running, the higher your monthly bill will be. Cloud computing, like any other utility, should be treated the same way.  Just as we are told to unplug appliances when not in use, removing/stopping unused [...]
