It will be charged at the end of the month for what we use. Using cloudwatch, we can track the below metrics. AWS also provides access application logs and it allows to create alarms when the metrics reach …
AWS CodeDeploy is a deployment service that automates application deployments to Amazon EC2 instances and on-premises instances. It helps us to deploy application content such as code, serverless AWS Lambda functions, web and configuration files, packages, scripts, multimedia files, and more. After deploying the application content on a server it is stored in Amazon S3 buckets, GitHub repositories, or Bitbucket repositories. It works with various systems for configuration management, source control, continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment. With AWS CodeDeploy, the following processes become easier. Rapidly …
AWS Server Migration Service (SMS) helps migrate VMware workloads to AWS. It minimizes downtime, uses agentless replication, supports incremental sync, and allows application testing before cutover. This AWS Server migration facilities provide simple services to migrate large-scale data from our on premises. AWS Migration Hub provides an individual location to track the growth of application migrations across multiple AWS and partner solutions. This allows choosing the AWS and partner migration tools that are suitable for the process. It also provides visibility into the status of migrations across the portfolio of …
Logstash is a powerful log collection and event processing engine used for collecting, parsing, transforming, and forwarding logs and event data from multiple sources. It is one of the core components of the Elastic Stack and is widely used for centralized logging, monitoring, and data processing. Logstash helps organizations manage large amounts of log data efficiently by collecting logs from different systems, processing them into a structured format, and forwarding them to storage or analysis platforms. What is Logstash? Logstash is an open-source data processing pipeline that collects data from …
VPC enables us to launch Amazon services to a Virtual network. This virtual network is owned by its own data centers with the benefits of using AWS services. In each account by default, VPC is already configured. The default VPC is used for testing purposes. The custom VPC is used for more secure network defined in the private subnet. The instances created in default VPC can’t communicate by default. Hardware VPN connection is used for connecting instance to the data center. (more…)
Configure Backups to S3
1. Servers having a cPanel control panel ————————————- In the WHM console, click Backup Configuration, and scroll to the bottom looking for additional destinations. Select Amazon S3 in the Destination Type and Create a new destination. In the configuration page for this destination, give it a name and select the box that says transfer system backups to destination. (It says you should only do this if your connection is encrypted. Amazon S3 is an encrypted connection.) Enter the name of the bucket, Access Key ID, and Secret Access Key. (more…)
AWS Elastic Beanstalk
By using Elastic Beanstalk we can easily manage applications in the AWS Cloud without affecting the infrastructure on the applications. With this, we can manage all of the resources that run on the application as environments. It will reduce the risks in managing applications without restricting choices and the control, as we can simply upload the applications and Beanstalk will automatically handle the load balancing, scaling, application health monitoring and capacity provisioning. Elastic Beanstalk supports applications developed in Go, Java, .NET, Node.js, PHP, Python, and Ruby. Once the application brings …
Stackify is a developer-friendly solution that helps developers to manage and troubleshoot application or coding issues with integrated monitoring and error logs. Along with the solutions to monitor and manage their applications’ performance, it also provides a cloud-based solution that provides insights about the application’s performance. In the industry, most of the application monitoring solutions are designed for IT infrastructure. But Stackify is purely designed for developers and it became trending as it combines application logging and code profiling together.

Munin
Monitoring our systems, networks and server’s performance and activity is one of the duller aspects of administration, and often something that is overlooked until there is a problem. Fortunately, there are many tools that can be used to monitor our system resources with differing levels of complexity and difficulty to configure. One of the simpler tools for getting the details for all the above can be simply derived from the monitoring tools called “Munin”, which is considered as one of the most flexible network resource monitoring systems available for UNIX …
Machine Learning
Machine learning is a variant of artificial intelligence (AI) that makes the systems for self-learning from the data enrolled without being specially programmed. ML aims at the improvement of computer programs that makes the systems to learn for themselves with the accessed data. The overall learning process initiates with observations from the data accessed such as searches, instructions to find out a particular data. The primary scenario is to allow computers to learn artificially to perform according to our needs. Machine learning is highly related to computational statistics, which aims …
