On The Cloud Pod this week, Matthew Kohn joins the team as a substitute for Jonathan and Peter, who have gone AWOL. Also, Google demonstrates again why its network is superior to the other cloud providers.         A big thanks to this week's sponsors: Foghorn Consulting, which provides full-stack cloud solutions with a focus on strategy, planning and execution for enterprises seeking to take advantage of the transformative capabilities of AWS, Google Cloud and Azure. JumpCloud, which offers a complete platform for identity, access, and device management — no matter where your users and devices are located.  This week's highlights AWS now allows crash-consistent AMIs without requiring a reboot. No more manual processes needed.  Google is building a subsea cable named Firmina. The cable, to be comprised of 12 fiber pairs, will carry traffic quickly and securely between North and South America. Oracle announces improvements to its block volumes. Its Ultra-High-Performance (UHP) block volume comes with up to 300,000 IOPS and 2,680 MB/s throughput per volume and is generally available across all OCI commercial regions and on all interfaces.  General News: Not Dead Yet Hashicorp Vagrant 3.0 will maintain its Ruby-based features while being ported to Go. We thought this was on a path to death but apparently not.    Amazon Web Services: Proceed With Caution AWS announces a new region in Tel Aviv, Israel. AWS clearly realized it was behind the other cloud providers on building new regions.  Amazon launches AWS Proton in general availability. There are some super cool improvements that have been done to this. Amazon EC2 now allows you to create crash-consistent Amazon Machine Images (AMIs). This is one of our EC2 wish list items — it's great to tick it off the list. AWS announces per second billing for EC2 Windows Server and SQL Server Instances. It's nice to only be billed for what you actually use.   AWS removes NAT Gateway's dependence on Internet Gateway for private communications. This has been a big annoyance for a while so nice to see it sorted! Google Cloud Platform: Just Figure It Out Google is announcing the general availability of Ubuntu Pro images on Google Cloud. Doesn't make a lot of sense to embrace open source by purchasing an enterprise product. PLAID guest posts on the GCP blog talking about using Anthos Clusters on AWS. This is a really interesting blog post.   Google is announcing a new model for multi-project cloud monitoring. We don't understand this one.   Google announces Firmina, an open subsea cable it's building from the East Coast to Argentina. This is why its network is superior to others.       Azure: Will Make Your Head Explode Azure is launching its newest sustainable datacenter region in Arizona. But why is it in Arizona? Oracle: Give Us Your Soul    Oracle Cloud Infrastructure has a new Ultra-High-Performance (UHP) block volume. Of course it came up with this — Oracle needs it to support its own product.  Oracle announces Java Management Service (JMS) is now generally available. This just seems like a great way for Oracle to audit you and bill you more.    TCP Lightning Round In his absence, Peter takes this week's point but the team won't tell him why just to confuse him, leaving scores at Justin (10), Ryan (5), Jonathan (7), Peter (1).  Other Headlines Mentioned: Azure IoT Edge integration with Azure Monitor is now in public preview  AWS App Mesh introduces enhanced ingress traffic management capabilities Amazon EC2 adds new AMI property to flag outdated AMIs Amazon SageMaker Pipelines now supports callback capability Support for SQL Server in data flows using Azure Data Factory & Azure Synapse AWS Backup now supports crash-consistent backups of Amazon EBS volumes attached to an Amazon EC2 instance Azure Monitor Agent and Data Collection Rules now generally available Amazon Translate is Now Integrated with Amazon CloudWatch Events and Amazon EventBridge Introducing AWS Elemental Link UHD: a device to send live UHD video to AWS AWS Certificate Manager Private Certificate Authority now supports more flexibility for CAs shared across accounts AWS Resource Access Manager enables granular access control with additional managed permissions  Things Coming Up Announcing Google Cloud 2021 Summits [frequently updated] Google Cloud Next — Not announced yet (one site says Moscone is reserved June 28–30) Amazon re:Inforce — August 24–25 — Houston, TX Google Cloud Next 2021 — October 12–14, 2021 AWS re:Invent — November 29–December 3 — Las Vegas Oracle Open World (no details yet) 

In this themed episode of AWS TechChat, I am joined by Gabe Hollombe and we look at two relatively new AWS Services - Amazon EventBridge and Amazon AppFlow. We start the show revisiting a messaging foundation and what are the gaps Amazon EventBridge fills in our product portfolio. We discuss that Amazon EventBridge is a serverless event bus that makes it easy to connect applications together using data from your own applications, SaaS applications, and AWS services before contrasting Amazon EventBridge to Amazon CloudWatch Events. Then we pivot to Amazon EventBridge Schema Registry which allows you to discover, create, and manage OpenAPI schemas for events on Amazon EventBridge. You can find schemas for existing AWS services, create and upload custom schemas, or generate a schema based on events on an event bus. Lastly we talk about Amazon AppFlow, an even newer AWS service. Amazon AppFlow allows you to securely transfer data between SaaS applications like Salesforce, Marketo, and Slack with AWS services like Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Redshift in just a few clicks.

In this Episode of AWS TechChat, Pete and Shane are in Chicago and continue on part 2 of an update show that continues to cover some of the missed but very important updates that occurred in the last few months (November 2019 → January 2020) whilst we embraced re:Invent 2019. We start the show with some Container news. Firstly, we have four GitHub actions that provide hooks to accelerate your CI/CD pipeline. The actions relate to credentials, secrets, through to ECR and deployment. It helps developers focus on iterating with a high velocity and GitHub handling the heavy lifting of the deployment. Amazon EKS being all popular has had a limit increase - 100 Amazon EKS clusters per region per account. We continue to share two networking related updates - Access Control List (ACL) restrictions to public endpoints and the ability to resolve the private Amazon EKS cluster endpoint when using a peered VPC. Finally, on the container front we launched AWS Fargate Spot, only for Amazon ECS allowing saving up to 70%. Amazon EC2 Spot Now Provides Instance Launch Notifications via Amazon CloudWatch Events allowing you to up your observability and monitoring game. We then pivot to messaging updates. Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) enables you to configure DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) using your own RSA key pair. It is now supports FIPS 140-2 compliant end-points and Account-Level Suppression list which allowing you to specify whether addresses should be added to the list when they result in hard bounces, or when they result in complaints, or both. Amazon SNS now brings support for a DLQ. You can now set a dead-letter queue (DLQ) to an (SNS) subscription to capture undeliverable messages and push them to a SQS queue. AWS Lambda now provides support to allow you to provision capacity, allowing you to prevent cold starts and is another tool in your toolbox that may make AWS Lambda more applicable to more workloads that require highly consistent latency. Lastly, we close off the show with Amazon EBS Fast Snapshot Restore (FSR) update. It eliminates the need for pre-warming data into volumes created from snapshots.

Learn how Mapbox improved and leveled up their Amazon ECS monitoring by using Amazon CloudWatch Events and custom metrics. We cover the events that kick off data collection, which enables our team to track the trillions of compute seconds happening every day on Mapbox's ECS clusters. The result of the data collection includes custom metrics and alarms used to inform stakeholders across Mapbox about detailed ECS usage, so development teams and finance alike can easily put a price tag on each container.

This presentation will include a deep dive into the code behind multiple security automation and remediation functions. This session will consider potential use cases, as well as feature a demonstration of a proposed script, and then walk through the code set to explain the various challenges and solutions of the intended script. All examples of code will be previously unreleased and will feature integration with services such as Trusted Advisor and Macie. All code will be released as OSS after re:Invent.

Simon discusses a variety of updates and some great Services that now work even better together!

AWS CloudTrail, Amazon CloudWatch Events, AWS Identity & Access Management (IAM), Trusted Advisor, AWS Config Rules, other services? In this session, we will help you use existing and recently launched services to automate configuration governance so that security is embedded in the development process. We outline four easy steps (Control, Monitor, Fix, and Audit) and demonstrate how different services can be used to meet your governance needs. We will showcase real-life examples and you can take home a blog post with code examples and the full source code for scripts and tooling that AWS professional services have built using these services.

In this session, we’ll show how customers can use management tools to standardize the creation of AWS resources and then govern these resources through the lifecycle. By using AWS CloudFormation and AWS Service Catalog to provision resources at scale, AWS Config to audit any changes to the configuration of these resources, Amazon CloudWatch to monitor the health of these resources, and AWS CloudTrail to audit who or what made API calls to these resources, customers can automate and scale the administration of their infrastructure on AWS. They can even go one step further and automate compliance checking and remediation by using AWS Config rules and Amazon CloudWatch Events. We will demo how this is possible by looking at some common use cases.

Johnson & Johnson is in the process of doing a proof of concept to rewrite the compliance framework that they presented at re:Invent 2014. This framework leverages the newest AWS services and abandons the need for continual describes and master rules servers. Instead, Johnson & Johnson plans to use a distributed, event-based architecture that not only reduces costs but also assigns costs to the appropriate projects rather than central IT.

This session enables security operators to automate governance and implement use cases addressed by AWS services such as AWS CloudTrail, AWS Config Rules, Amazon CloudWatch Events, and Trusted Advisor. Based on the nature of vulnerabilities, internal processes, compliance regimes, and other priorities, this session discusses the service to use when. We also show how to detect, report, and fix vulnerabilities, or gain more information about attackers. We dive deep into new features and capabilities of relevant services and use an example from an AWS customer, Siemens AG, about how to best automate governance and scale. A prerequisite for this session is knowledge of security and basic software development using Java, Python, or Node.

This session demonstrates 5 different security and compliance validation actions that you can perform using Amazon CloudWatch Events and AWS Config rules. This session focuses on the actual code for the various controls, actions, and remediation features, and how to use various AWS services and features to build them. The demos in this session include CIS Amazon Web Services Foundations validation; host-based AWS Config rules validation using AWS Lambda, SSH, and VPC-E; automatic creation and assigning of MFA tokens when new users are created; and automatic instance isolation based on SSH logons or VPC Flow Logs deny logs. This session focuses on code and live demos.

With security-relevant services such as AWS Config, VPC Flow Logs, Amazon CloudWatch Events, and AWS Lambda, you now have the ability to programmatically wrangle security events that may occur within your AWS environment, including prevention, detection, response, and remediation. This session covers the process of automating security event response with various AWS building blocks, taking several ideas from drawing board to code, and gaining confidence in your coverage by proactively testing security monitoring and response effectiveness before anyone else does.
