Till now after spending more than 20 hours of effort for the remediation of the BSOD issue for our client using different ways like root volume change using snapshot and ec2 rescue for AWS Cloud EC2 WINDOWS VM. i thought of writing up this small blog from my experience. Importance of Security, High Availability, and Automation in the Age of Cloud Recent events with a leading cybersecurity platform highlight the critical intersection of security, high availability, and automation in today's technology landscape. While specific details of the incident are not discussed here let's explore these key takeaways for leaders: Prioritizing Security: * Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR): Solutions like CrowdStrike's Falcon platform exemplify the importance of EDR capabilities. They go beyond mere threat detection by actively stopping them in their tracks. * Continuous Monitoring and Testing: Security requires constant vigilance. Vulnerability assessments and rigorous testing of updates before deployment are crucial. Ensuring High Availability: * Redundancy is Key: Implementing redundant systems allows for quick rollbacks in case of unforeseen issues. This minimizes downtime and protects critical business operations. * Disaster Recovery (DR) Plans: Having a tested DR plan ensures swift and coordinated responses to outages. Embracing Automation: * Automated Rollback Mechanisms: Streamlining rollbacks through automation minimizes disruptions and simplifies recovery efforts. * Automated Patching Practices: Automated patching can improve efficiency, but it should be well-tested and have proper safeguards in place. Lessons Learned: * Security Updates Can Introduce Risk: Even security updates can have unintended consequences. Thorough testing is essential to avoid disrupting critical systems. * Communication is Paramount: Clear and timely communication with stakeholders during outages builds trust and fosters transparency. * Learn and Adapt: Debriefing after incidents helps identify vulnerabilities and implement preventive measures to avoid similar situations in the future. Investing in the Future: * Security Code Analysis (SCA) Tools: SCA tools can identify potential vulnerabilities in code before they become security risks. * Phased Patch Rollouts: Implementing patches in phases allows for early detection and mitigation of any unforeseen issues. Conclusion: Leaders must prioritize security, high availability, and automation to build resilient systems. By continuously learning and adapting, we can ensure the smooth operation of critical infrastructure and maintain customer trust. #automation #cybersecurity #DR #Resiliency #security #Cloud

In today’s fast-paced digital environment, managing infrastructure efficiently and reliably is crucial for any organisation. Manual provisioning and management of infrastructure can be cumbersome, error prone, and time consuming. This is where Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform helps in automating the infrastructure provisioning. Currently, I am halfway through automating IaC using Terraform and am working on several exciting components: EKS Cluster: Setting up a fully managed Kubernetes cluster to orchestrate containerised applications. DynamoDB: Configuring a NoSQL database service for seamless scaling and performance. IAM Roles: Defining roles and permissions to manage access securely and effectively. S3: Creating scalable object storage for backups, logs, and other data. Ingress SSL and Redirect: Implementing SSL for secure communication and setting up redirects to ensure smooth user experiences and compliance. These components are crucial for a robust, scalable, and secure infrastructure. As I progress, I will continue to refine and expand the Terraform configurations to encompass additional resources and optimisations. Sharing the logs as attachments..

Cloud Native is the way to go. Just submitted a paper on Centralized Observability- The need of solution for operations and monitoring, which is vendor/ tech agnostic and work across all your applications, giving you a single pane of glass with correlated signals/data (metric, traces and logs) across components and tech stacks.

In this blogpost, presenting a solution I have co-authored with Vikram Khatri and Sumit Kumar for extending on-premises Microsoft Active Directory (AD) infrastructure and Kerberos authentication to Amazon RDS for Db2. Our approach enables single sign-on for RDS for Db2 database users and centralized management of authentication and authorization for administrators. We've designed an architecture that establishes a trust relationship between AWS Managed Microsoft AD and on-premises AD, creates an Amazon RDS for Db2 instance joined to the Managed AD, sets up a Windows virtual desktop for user access, and configures database permissions and groups. We've provided Terraform code on GitHub to deploy this solution, which includes steps for infrastructure deployment, database client configuration, Kerberos configuration file creation, and authentication testing. This approach can be extended to other Amazon RDS database engines supporting Kerberos authentication, offering a flexible and secure method for integrating RDS databases with existing enterprise Microsoft Active Directory. https://lnkd.in/gDWzjvPb

As a panelist on ‘How start-ups can leverage Big Tech Partnerships’ at our Masters of Scale 2024, Praveen Sridhar, Director Partnerships, Amazon Web Services (AWS), revealed the three levels at which AWS engages with startups. (1) Co-Market: Enables listing of startup’s products on AWS Marketplace to offer visibility and low-cost lead generation (2) Co-Brand: Strategic co-branding with select products – classic example being “TallyPrime powered by AWS” (3) Co-Sell: A Joint GTM partnership model where AWS co-creates a solution with select startups and takes them to customers. And of course, #AWS continues to provide cloud credits to early-stage founders to encourage innovation and enable rapid development. Thank you for delving into your process, Praveen! Stay tuned to learn what our third panelist had to say about making the most of big tech partnerships! #foundersevent #cornerstoneventures #saasgrowth #indiasaas #panelist #enterprisepartners #aws
