When building cloud architectures on AWS, network connectivity is a critical factor. Two popular options for interconnecting Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) are VPC Transit Gateway and VPC Peering. While both provide a mechanism for enabling communication between VPCs, they differ significantly...
Serverless computing with AWS Lambda has revolutionized how applications are built and deployed. It simplifies infrastructure management, scales seamlessly, and is cost-efficient. However, one term often makes developers pause: cold starts. If you’ve ever experienced unexpected latency with Lambda...
When working with AWS, one of the most effective ways to organize, monitor, and optimize your cloud environment is by tagging your resources. Tags are simple key-value pairs you attach to AWS resources, but their simplicity belies their power. They offer a range of benefits, from cost tracking and a...
In cloud environments, Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) play a critical role in isolating and managing network resources. However, as businesses grow, the original VPC CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) range can quickly become insufficient due to expanded workloads, additional subnets, or integrati...
Introduction With data breaches on the rise, securing sensitive information stored in the cloud is paramount. Amazon S3, one of the most widely used storage solutions, offers multiple encryption methods to safeguard data. However, managing encryption for large volumes of existing objects can be time...
In the fast-paced world of cloud computing and DevOps, visibility into system performance and security is crucial. Traditional monitoring tools, while powerful, often struggle with the complexity and dynamic nature of modern infrastructure. Enter eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter)—a groundbrea...
AWS EC2 instances offer powerful, scalable computing, but costs can quickly accumulate, especially when instances run during idle hours. Automating the start and stop of EC2 instances helps reduce costs while ensuring they’re available when needed. This guide walks you through setting up an automa...
Amazon S3 is known for offering a range of storage classes, each tailored to meet specific performance and cost optimization needs. However, managing data efficiently within S3 can be a challenge, particularly when determining which storage class to use for different types of data. Enter S3 Storage ...
IntroductionIn the world of modern applications, real-time communication is becoming increasingly vital. WebSocket APIs provide a two-way interactive communication channel between the client and server, making them perfect for scenarios like live chat, gaming, and collaborative tools. However, when ...
Introduction In today’s cloud-native environments, securely managing sensitive information such as API keys, database passwords, and other credentials is critical. Hardcoding these secrets in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) configurations can lead to significant security risks. In this post, we...
