Another project completed. In this project I discuss how to remotely manage servers using AWS + SSH, RDP and SSM. If you don't know what any of these things are, that's okay I explain it all in my How to guide! What I cover in this project: ✨What SSH is ✨What RDP is ✨What SSM is ✨How to create a Windows instance in EC2 ✨How to create a Linux instance in EC2 ✨How to connect to those instances using SSH, RDP and SSM ✨How to create a security group in AWS to allow SSH and RDP connections ✨How to create a role to allow SSM access to your instances 💪Challenge💪 Setting up SSM was a bit of a challenge as the documentation on AWS is extremely wordy and hard to follow IMO. So realizing you had to create a role took a little bit of research, trial and error. Hopefully I have made that challenge easier for others that are trying to use the tool as well. 💡Highlight💡 SSM has the ability to manage a large infrastructure that makes life easier. Not only can you connect to your AWS instances you can also connect to other devices On-Premise and even Raspberry Pi's! #AWS #SSH #RDP #CloudDevOps #EC2 #SSM #IAM #LevelUpInTech Broadus Palmer | Troy Ingram | Ifeanyi Otuonye, MBA | Zaire Ali | Daniel Rothamel 📊🔧🚀 | Kellie Carter | Anubhav Srivastava | Prithish Poojari

Configuring Azure Arc-Enabled Windows Servers with Azure VM Extensions

Navigating the CentOS End-of-life (EOL) in Azure With CentOS reaching End-of-life (EOL) on June 30, 2024, customers running CentOS in Azure will have to migrate to a new operating system to continue receiving security updates, patches, and new features. https://lnkd.in/d9de5Dhr #azure #azurecloud #centos #linux _______ 🔰 If you like my posts please follow me Andrei Pintica hit the 🔔 on my profile to get a notification for all my new posts

New Post: Grafana SSL – How to configure HTTPS - https://lnkd.in/e7_WQBnj - Delve into this step-by-step guide for setting up a self-signed SSL certificate in Grafana. By following these instructions, you can enhance the security of your Grafana server, making it accessible via a secure connection at https://mygrafanaserver, all while keeping Grafana SSL in focus. Grafana SSL By default, SSL is not installed in the free, self-hosted community edition of Grafana. However, SSL is configured automatically for those who opt for the cloud version. To set up SSL on the self-hosted version, you will require sudo access to the /etc/grafana/grafana.ini file.

🚀 A New Era of Security: ED25519 SSH Keys for Linux VMs on Azure 🚀 I’m excited to announce the general availability of ED25519 SSH keys for Linux VMs on Azure! This development marks a significant advancement in the security and efficiency of our cloud environments. 🌐🔒 🔑 Why ED25519? ED25519 is a modern, secure, and compact SSH key type that offers several advantages over traditional RSA keys: Smaller Key Size: ED25519 keys are smaller, making them faster to generate and transfer. Higher Security: They provide stronger security with the same or even smaller key size compared to RSA. Better Performance: Faster connections and lower computational load during authentication. 🛠️ Integration with Azure Azure now allows the creation and management of ED25519 SSH keys directly in the Azure portal, simplifying the process and providing seamless integration into your existing workflows: Portal Creation: Generate ED25519 keys directly in the Azure portal for easy management. CLI and PowerShell: Use Azure CLI and PowerShell to create and manage these keys. Flexibility: Choose between RSA and ED25519 based keys depending on your security requirements. 📈 Benefits for Your Cloud Environment The introduction of ED25519 SSH keys brings numerous benefits to your cloud environment: Enhanced Security: Protect your VMs with state-of-the-art encryption technology. Efficient Management: Simplify key management and reduce complexity. Future-Proof: Prepare your infrastructure for future security demands. 🔧 Creating and Using SSH Keys Creating and using SSH keys in Azure is straightforward and flexible: Create Keys: Generate new keys in the Azure portal or upload existing keys. Connect to VMs: Use your SSH keys to securely access your Linux VMs. Manage Keys: Centrally manage your keys in the Azure portal and keep track of all used keys. 📚 Further Information For detailed guides on creating and using SSH keys in Azure, visit the official documentation: https://lnkd.in/e9KYgjps #Azure #CloudSecurity #ED25519 #SSHKeys #LinuxVMs #AzurePortal #CyberSecurity #CloudComputing #TechInnovation #ITSecurity #DevOps #CloudManagement #AzureCLI #PowerShell #ITInfrastructure #SecureAccess

Today I earned my "Administer and manage Windows Server IaaS Virtual Machine remotely" badge! Bastion Hosts in Azure is a very sleek and quick way to configure secure connections to VM's that need to be managed by administrators. Security best practices become that much easier to implement and adhere to when you add JIT Administrations with a Bastion host. The opening and closing of administrative ports auto-magically really helps to mitigate the attack surface to adversaries. I hope this inspires you to start your own @MicrosoftLearn journey! #TeamSC #LearningIsFun #MicrosoftWindowsandServers
