Redis Append-Only Files vs Redis Replication

2023-04-10T05:21:12+00:00

Redis Append-Only Files (AOF) Redis Replication You can enable the Redis append-only file feature (AOF) for data durability. It is similar to creating manual backups. When enabled, the node writes all of the commands that change cache data to an append-only file.  When a node is rebooted and the cache engine starts, Redis goes through an AOF to replay the actions that were performed before the crash; the result is a warm Redis cache with all of the data intact. To enable AOF for a cluster running Redis, you must create a parameter group with the appendonly parameter set to [...]

Service Control Policies (SCP) vs IAM Policies

2023-04-12T00:38:41+00:00

Service Control Policies (SCP) IAM Policies SCPs are mainly used along with AWS Organizations organizational units (OUs). SCPs do not replace IAM Policies such that they do not provide actual permissions. To perform an action, you would still need to grant appropriate IAM Policy permissions. Even if a Principal is allowed to perform a certain action (granted through IAM Policies), an attached SCP will override that capability if it enforces a Deny on that action. SCP takes precedence over IAM Policies. SCPs can be applied to the root of an organization or to individual accounts in an OU. When you [...]

S3 Pre-signed URLs vs CloudFront Signed URLs vs Origin Access Identity (OAI) vs Origin Access Control (OAC)

2023-08-30T13:09:41+00:00

  S3 Pre-signed URLs CloudFront Signed URLs Origin Access Identity (OAI) Origin Access Control (OAC) All S3 buckets and objects by default are private. Only the object owner has permission to access these objects. Pre-signed URLs use the owner’s security credentials to grant others time-limited permission to download or upload objects. When creating a pre-signed URL, you (as the owner) need to provide the following: Your security credentials An S3 bucket name An object key Specify the HTTP method (GET to download the object or PUT to upload an object) Expiration date and time of the URL. You can control user [...]
