IP Blocking: Use AWS WAF or NACL?

2023-08-14T02:45:24+00:00

What should you do if you identified a series of malicious attacks on your application coming from a specific IP address? Will you use AWS WAF to block that IP address or create a rule in your Network Access Control List to deny traffic from that IP? It is true that AWS WAF can filter web requests based on IP addresses, HTTP headers, HTTP body, or URI strings, to block common attack patterns, such as SQL injection or cross-site scripting. NACL, on the other hand, acts like a firewall for controlling traffic in and out of your subnets. If the [...]

Latency Routing vs Geoproximity Routing vs Geolocation Routing

2023-04-10T03:27:57+00:00

  Latency Routing Geoproximity Routing Geolocation Routing Definition Lets Route 53 serve user requests from the AWS Region that provides the lowest latency. It does not, however, guarantee that users in the same geographic region will be served from the same location. Latency-based routing is based on latency measurements performed over a period of time, and the measurements reflect changes in network connectivity and routing. Lets Amazon Route 53 route traffic to your resources based on the geographic location of your users and your resources.  You can also optionally choose to route more traffic or less to a given resource [...]

Backup and Restore vs Pilot Light vs Warm Standby vs Multi-site

2023-04-10T06:17:02+00:00

You should select the most appropriate DR plan to meet your company RTO and RPO. Consider also your budget and which system elements are most critical for your business. Backup and Restore Pilot Light This DR plan provides the slowest system restoration after a DR event. You take frequent snapshots of your data such as those in Amazon EBS Volumes and Amazon RDS databases, and you store them in a durable and secure storage location such as Amazon S3. There are many ways for you to move data in and out of S3 Transfer over the network via S3 Transfer [...]

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 Transfer Acceleration vs Direct Connect vs VPN vs Snowball Edge vs Snowmobile

2024-01-18T07:05:33+00:00

S3 Transfer Acceleration (TA) AWS Direct Connect AWS VPN Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration makes public Internet transfers to S3 faster, as it leverages Amazon CloudFront’s globally distributed AWS Edge Locations. There is no guarantee that you will experience increased transfer speeds. If S3 Transfer Acceleration is not likely to be faster than a regular S3 transfer of the same object to the same destination AWS Region, AWS will not charge for the use of S3 TA for that transfer. This is not the best transfer service to use if transfer disruption is not tolerable. S3 TA provides the same security [...]

AWS Elastic Beanstalk AWS CloudFormation AWS Elastic Beanstalk makes it even easier for developers to quickly deploy and manage applications in the AWS Cloud. Developers simply upload their application, and Elastic Beanstalk automatically handles the deployment details of capacity provisioning, load balancing, auto-scaling, and application health monitoring. This platform-as-a-service solution is typically for those who want to deploy and manage their applications within minutes in the AWS Cloud without worrying about the underlying infrastructure.  AWS Elastic Beanstalk supports the following languages and development stacks: Apache Tomcat for Java applications Apache HTTP Server for PHP applications Apache HTTP Server for Python [...]

Amazon Simple Workflow (SWF) vs AWS Step Functions vs Amazon SQS

2023-04-07T04:00:56+00:00

Amazon Simple Workflow (SWF) A web service that makes it easy to coordinate work across distributed application components. In Amazon SWF, tasks represent invocations of logical steps in applications. Tasks are processed by workers which are programs that interact with Amazon SWF to get tasks, process them, and return their results. The coordination of tasks involves managing execution dependencies, scheduling, and concurrency in accordance with the logical flow of the application. AWS Step Functions A fully managed service that makes it easy to coordinate the components of distributed applications and microservices using visual workflows. You define state machines that describe [...]

CloudWatch Agent SSM Agent (AWS Systems Manager) Custom Daemon Scripts CloudWatch agent allows you to collect more system-level metrics from your EC2 and on-premises servers than just the standard CloudWatch metrics. It also enables you to retrieve custom metrics from your applications or services using the StatsD and collectd protocols. StatsD is supported on both Linux servers and servers running Windows Server. collectd is supported only on Linux servers. You can use CloudWatch agent to collect logs from your servers and send them to CloudWatch Logs. Metrics collected by the CloudWatch agent are billed as custom metrics. You can install [...]
