Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling Lifecycle Hooks

2023-06-05T02:08:11+00:00

Bookmarks Auto Scaling Lifecycle Hooks Configure Lifecycle Hooks on your Auto Scaling Groups Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling allows you to scale-out or scale-in your EC2 instances automatically based on policies you configured in response to changing demand on your application. Auto Scaling Groups lets you set a minimum and maximum number of EC2 instances to automatically resize your cluster based on a defined schedule or instance metrics such as CPU utilization, network traffic, etc. This is an excellent way to cut costs and make sure you have the correct number of instances since traffic on [...]

AWS Global Accelerator vs Amazon CloudFront

2023-04-08T03:37:31+00:00

In this day and age, your site speed performance is an important factor when it comes to user experience. It is widely recommended for websites to have an average load time of 3 seconds as users tend to abandon the site if a page takes longer than 3 seconds to load. According to Amazon, just 100 milliseconds of extra load time cost them 1% in sales. Indeed, every second counts in our fast-paced digital world. Amazon Web Services has always been the global leader in Cloud Computing with its speed, performance, and reliability. With its breadth of services, AWS gives [...]

AWS CodeCommit Repository

2023-06-05T02:10:55+00:00

Amazon Web Services, with its ever-growing breadth of services, offers a fully-managed version control system where developers can privately store their application source code like Github or Bitbucket. CodeCommit can be used as a staging ground coupled with CodeDeploy and CodePipeline to seamlessly deploy code to Amazon EC2 instances.  In this article, I will discuss how we can leverage Amazon SNS to send notifications whenever there are events in our repository. This is particularly useful when we need to keep our work colleagues up-to-date if there are events in our repository. Triggers are used for two things. The first is [...]

Increasing MTU for Your EC2 Instance

2023-06-05T02:27:26+00:00

What is MTU? MTU (maximum transmission unit) is the maximum size of one packet of data that can be transferred in a network. The default MTU size for Ethernet devices is 1500 bytes. This packet size contains the actual payload data as well as network overhead information needed for communication within the network. All AWS EC2 instances support the default MTU size. But many current instance sizes support 9001 MTU, also referred to as jumbo frames. Enabling jumbo frames for supported EC2 instances can be beneficial because it improves network efficiency by allowing your instance to send fewer packets with [...]

Amazon Cognito User Pools vs Identity Pools

2024-08-29T01:45:49+00:00

Bookmarks Amazon Cognito User Pools Amazon Cognito Identity Pools With the proliferation of smartphones in our connected world, more and more developers are quickly deploying their applications on the cloud. One of the first challenges in developing applications is allowing users to log in and authenticate on your applications. There are multiple stages involved in user verification and most of these are not visible from the end-user. AWS provides an easy solution for this situation. User Identity verification is at the core of Amazon Cognito. It provides solutions for three key areas of user identification:  [...]

Resolve Route 53 Private Hosted Zones from an On-premises Network

2023-06-05T03:00:59+00:00

Route 53 Private Hosted Zones Amazon Route 53 DNS service supports Public Hosted Zones and Private Hosted Zones. Private Hosted Zones are useful when you want to use your private domain and have Route 53 respond to queries on that domain from resources within your VPC.  For example, if you host a database on an EC2 instance on a private subnet, you can create a Route 53 record set (ex: privatedb.tutorialsdojo.com) for that database instance on your Private Hosted Zone to allow other EC2 instances to resolve the domain name.   But what if you have a VPN connection (or AWS [...]

Locking your Glacier Vault using the Amazon S3 Glacier API

2023-06-05T03:07:24+00:00

What is Amazon S3 Glacier Vault Lock A Glacier Vault can be described as a container for your archived objects in S3 Glacier. To begin using Amazon S3 Glacier, you need a vault. Creating and deleting vaults can be easily done in the AWS Management Console, but interacting with them requires you to use the APIs. For example, let’s say you want to upload images or log files to your vault. To do so, you would either use the AWS CLI or write code that would upload these objects. Large corporations often have compliance requirements with how they store their [...]

Amazon S3 Bucket Policies for VPC Endpoints

2023-06-05T03:11:03+00:00

Amazon S3 and Amazon VPC Relationship Amazon S3 is a versatile object storage solution that boasts virtually unlimited storage capacity. You can expect that your files will be durably stored in S3 given that AWS provides an SLA for this service. When creating your S3 bucket, AWS provides you with a unique bucket URL that you can use to access your S3 bucket directly from the public internet, if you have public access enabled.  Amazon S3 is a service that is not used within a VPC. This means that traffic does not pass through VPC resources such as internet gateways [...]
