Automated RDS Snapshot Management for Improved Data Security

2024-07-17T06:42:57+00:00

The Automated Daily RDS Export ensures that daily snapshots of Amazon RDS instances are created and made shareable. While RDS takes daily snapshots automatically, these are not shareable by default. To address this, we copy the snapshots and share the copies with a designated backup account. This process uses AWS Lambda Functions and Amazon EventBridge to automate the task. EventBridge triggers the Lambda function daily, which handles copying and sharing the snapshots. This automation ensures that shareable snapshots are created every day without manual intervention, enhancing the reliability and accessibility of database backups. The Automated Daily RDS Export has several [...]

Setting Up Real-Time Slack Notifications for Amazon EC2 and EBS Events: A Step-by-Step Guide

2024-05-10T11:52:17+00:00

Overview Stay updated with your Amazon EC2 and EBS events directly through your Slack channel. This guide will walk you through the process of setting up a system that sends a Slack notification for the following events: Creation of an AMI: Notifies when an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) is being created from an EC2 instance. This is represented by the CreateImage event. Rebooting of an EC2 Instance: Alerts when an instance is undergoing a reboot. Stopping of an EC2 Instance: Informs when an instance is entering a stopping state. Stopped State of an EC2 Instance: Confirms when an instance has reached a [...]

Mastering AWS CDK Part 2: Leveraging Custom Constructs

2023-12-21T09:07:25+00:00

In the previous article, we delved into the fundamentals of AWS CDK, focusing on leveraging AWS's pre-built constructs. We examined a straightforward Serverless REST API architecture, which integrates three primary serverless services from AWS. These include Amazon API Gateway as the REST API's access point, AWS Lambda for computing, and Amazon DynamoDB for data storage. The Fat Lambda In contrast to the basic architecture previously discussed, it's important to note that such a setup is not typically regarded as best practice for production-grade applications. The serverless community often debates the concept of "Fat Lambda," a term used to describe scenarios [...]

Mastering AWS CDK Part 1: Using Built-In Constructs for Serverless APIs

2023-10-27T05:39:10+00:00

In the realm of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) within AWS, CloudFormation stands out as the foundational service. Many other IaC solutions, whether it's the Serverless Framework, AWS SAM, or even Terraform, ultimately get translated into CloudFormation. Additionally, the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) has emerged as a distinct player in this space. What sets AWS CDK apart is its embrace of familiar programming languages. Instead of relying on YAML or proprietary syntax, with AWS CDK, developers can define infrastructure using languages like Python, Javascript, Typescript, Java, C#, and Go. This familiarity accelerates the adoption curve, enabling developers to direct their [...]

Creating a Slack Notification for Redis Errors with Lambda Function and CloudWatch Logs Integration

2023-10-22T14:15:34+00:00

As more companies turn to cloud solutions, monitoring and notification systems for errors are becoming increasingly crucial. Redis, an open-source, fast, in-memory key-value data store, is now a widely used solution for databases, cache, message brokers, and queues. However, like any software, Redis may experience errors that require immediate attention. This article will guide you through setting up an automated Slack Notification using Lambda Function and CloudWatch Logs Integration to receive real-time alerts when Redis errors occur. Let's begin by configuring the CloudWatch agent to send Redis logs to CloudWatch Logs by running sudo vi /opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/bin/config.json in SSH. Suppose you [...]
