Implementing IP Blocking and Unblocking Using AWS Lambda, Slack, and AWS Systems Manager

2024-11-04T09:25:13+00:00

Blocking IP addresses is a crucial security measure for protecting an organization's infrastructure from various cyber threats, including DDoS attacks, brute-force login attempts, and unauthorized access. By blocking malicious or suspicious IPs, organizations can prevent system compromise, reduce unwanted traffic, and ensure that only trusted networks access critical resources. This helps maintain the performance and stability of the systems while ensuring compliance with security policies. Automating IP blocking using AWS Lambda and AWS Systems Manager (SSM) allows for a quick and efficient response to threats, securing environments with minimal manual intervention. Managing IP access is an essential aspect of securing [...]

Introduction to Amazon SQS FIFO and Standard Queues

2024-10-29T13:05:11+00:00

Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a fully managed message queuing service by AWS that allows distributed applications to communicate asynchronously, making it a critical tool for decoupling microservices and improving system resilience. SQS offers two types of queues tailored for different use cases: Standard Queues: These queues are designed for high throughput, allowing an unlimited number of transactions per second while supporting at-least-once message delivery. Although standard queues don’t guarantee strict message ordering, they excel in scenarios where speed and scalability are prioritized over sequence, such as large-scale data processing or background tasks. FIFO (First-In-First-Out) Queues: FIFO queues ensure [...]

Enabling the Account-Level Suppression List in Amazon SES

2024-08-29T05:43:23+00:00

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a powerful tool that enables businesses to send bulk and transactional emails to customers. It provides a reliable and scalable platform for sending marketing campaigns, transactional notifications, or customer communications. However, maintaining a good sender reputation and adhering to email regulations are critical for successful email delivery. To help manage email deliverability effectively, Amazon SES offers account-level suppression lists, which are a valuable feature. A suppression list is a compilation of email addresses you want to omit from your email campaigns. These email addresses usually belong to individuals who have unsubscribed from your emails, [...]

Understanding and Managing AWS Lambda Recursive Loop Invocations

2024-06-11T01:05:06+00:00

Introduction AWS Lambda is a serverless computing service that allows developers to run code without provisioning or managing servers. It automatically scales applications by running code in response to events and only charges for the compute time used. This makes AWS Lambda an ideal choice for building scalable and cost-effective applications. However, one challenge that developers might encounter is recursive loop invocations. This occurs when a Lambda function inadvertently triggers itself, leading to a potentially endless loop of invocations. This can result in high costs and system instability if not properly managed. In this blog post, we will explore the [...]
