AWS EC2 Unleashing the Power of Amazon Elastic Compute
AWS EC2 is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. AWS EC2 instances are virtual servers that can be used to deploy and run applications on the cloud. EC2 instances can be launched from pre-configured Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) or custom AMIs created by users. EC2 instances can be created and terminated on demand, allowing users to scale their applications up or down as needed. If you’re looking for a powerful and flexible cloud computing solution, look no further than Amazon Web Services Elastic Cloud Compute, or EC2 for short. With its vast array of features and capabilities, EC2 is at the forefront of cloud computing…

Building Secure Immutable Infrastructure
Introduction Building a secure AWS environment has many layers – the AWS account access and resource privileges, keeping inventory of the instances, and managing application configuration. This is of course not a one-time effort but a continuous process – the ability to review AWS recourses and access, the ability to check for installed software and unpatched instances, the ability to check who had access to configuration properties. A separate whitepaper has been released that addresses all these topics. Taking an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approach, where the whole infrastructure (AWS resources and access) is treated as code under version control provides full visibility and makes every change traceable and auditable.…

What is cloud migration?
Cloud migration is the process of moving digital business operations into the cloud. Cloud migration is sort of like a physical move, except it involves moving data, applications, and IT processes from some data centers to other data centers, instead of packing up and moving physical goods. Much like a move from a smaller office to a larger one, cloud migration requires quite a lot of preparation and advance work, but usually it ends up being worth the effort, resulting in cost savings and greater flexibility. Most often, “cloud migration” describes the move from on-premises or legacy infrastructure to the cloud. However, the term can also apply to a migration from…
