AWS is ideally suited for making the user’s applications tolerant to disaster. One of the options for making the user’s application suitable to DR is to keep a back up of the data / application setup in multiple regions. If the first region is not reachable due to some reason, the user can start the application from the other region. In Dec, 2021 AWS introduced functionality to copy snapshot across regions.
This guide demonstrates how to copy a snapshot of a Linux based instance to another region as well as attach a volume to a new instance to complete the instance data migration across regions.
Elastic IP addresses are static IP addresses designed for Amazon cloud. An Elastic IP address belongs to the user’s AWS account and is not bound to a particular instance. The user can control the elastic IP address until the user explicitly releases it. However, unlike traditional static IP addresses, Elastic IP addresses help the user to achieve high availability as it allows to script the usage of an IP address and reallocate it in a glance to other instance in the same region when the instance or availability zone fails. An AWS account can have a maximum of 5 elastic IPs per region. If you like extend this limit you can apply for more Elastic IP address here.
This guide demonstrates how to allocate or release an Elastic IP for an AWS account.
During the Amazon AWS Summit 2021 in Tel Aviv (Israel) Galed Friedmann - Head of Operations at Onavo – went on stage to talk about his company’s experience using Amazon AWS services. This is a great case study on how a start up company can grow in the cloud running an extreme efficient operations in terms of utilization and cost.
During the Amazon AWS Summit 2021 in Tel Aviv (Israel) Udi Keidar - VP Cloud Services at ClickSoftware - went on stage to present a very interesting AWS cloud case of a veteran ISV (independent Service Vendor) that successfully delivers its new enterprise SaaS offering over the AWS cloud.
Newvem tracks the usage pattern of hundreds of Amazon AWS customers and has identified that more than 35% of its beta users are operating an Amazon AWS cloud with high vulnerability to outages.
Following today’s AWS outage, we find it important to refresh the following important information and best practices on how to prevent unnecessary downtime and damage from an AWS outage, protect your AWS footprint at the time of an outage, and ensure you can recover immediately after the outage.
Load balancing in the cloud is different from the traditional load-balancing and must support scalability and elasticity on the fly. Traditional Load Balancers also require additional maintenance, expertise and management effort from IT ops. This means additional cost. Also, over provisioning of Load Balancers in terms of capacity or numbers will cause unnecessary cost leakage.
This presentation brougt to you by Jeff Barr, Senior Evangelist at Amazon Web Services. If you are new on AWS elastic compute cloud, this presentation includes some important basics on AWS EC2 includes a nice classification of the different instances types (by EC2 compute units and memory).It also includes what’s EC2 security group, Elastic IP, Elastic load balancer(ELB), CloudWatch, EBS and Auto-scalinng.
This presentation will help you to get started with AWS EC2. Supported by the first part supports, the second part of the presentation elaborates on AWS Beanstalk - put all the EC2 components together under the same roof. The third and last part of the presentation details how to to use AWS Elastic Beanstalk with Git-based deployment of a PHP application.
The presentation includes great overview on why and how to monitor an online application running on a cloud infrastructure. It is based on the author extensive experience running a high traffic real estate portal on AWS cloud infrastructure. In the presentation you will find a list of the different types of monitoring layers from the underlying infrastructure all the way up the application stack.
