Welcome to part two of the five-part “Well-Architected Serverless” series. This article will discuss the second most crucial pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework (WAF): Operational Excellence (OPS). We have a Well Architected webinar coming up! To learn more about the AWS Well-Architected Framework (WAF) through the serverless lens and how to build Well-Architected architectures, make sure to attend our upcoming webinar on Friday, 27 November.

Splunk Cloud’s ecosystem of apps and technical add-ons boasts a comprehensive set of input sources that enrich customer data insights. Many of these inputs reside in Cloud contexts, such as AWS, Salesforce, Azure, GCP, and many others. The Inputs Data Manager was introduced to aid the ingestion of these cloud data sources. As a result, in many cases, customers no longer need to host their own infrastructure to run scripted and modular inputs.

The Kinsing attack has recently been reported by security researchers, and it is well known for targeting misconfigured cloud native environments. It is also known for its comprehensive attack patterns, as well as defense evasion schemes. A misconfigured host or cluster could be exploited to run any container desired by the attacker. That would cause outages on your service or be used to perform lateral movement to other services, compromising your data.

During Anodot’s week-long Data World event, I hosted a panel with tech leaders Amiram.

Welcome to part one of our five-part “AWS Well-Architected Framework in Serverless” series.

re:Invent 2020 is here and while you don't have to find Galileo 601 or Hall G it can still be a lot to manage. Our team combed through the massive re:Invent schedule to bring you the the most important sessions related to serverless, architecture, and DevOps. In addition to the Serverless Track and the Keynotes we recommend these particular sessions. If you need help putting your schedule together we love Cloud Pegboard!

We’d like to let you know that InfluxDB Cloud is now on AWS US East, also called us-east-1, based in northern Virginia. This is our third AWS region, after initially launching InfluxDB Cloud in AWS Oregon and later AWS Frankfurt. This brings InfluxDB Cloud’s effortless scaling, flexible usage-based pricing, AWS marketplace integration, and a broad range of AWS connectivity points to customers that want to manage their time series data in the eastern United States.

Last week, I worked on a POC – how can we dynamically set SQL Server Connector configurations within Logic Apps? – that became a real project and a real architect solution. And one of the critical pieces was Azure App Configuration. Azure App Configuration stores configuration data as key-values.

In today’s modern age, the most crucial aspect of communication is expression. Various groups express their thoughts or feelings through their work. For example, painters express themselves through their paintings as well as singers express themselves through the way they sing. Writers might make you feel their thoughts while reading some of the articles or books they knew how to write primarily for their readers so the readers will understand their feelings and thoughts.

Today, AWS has announced AWS Network Firewall: a new managed service that makes it easy to deploy essential network protections for Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). As a launch partner, Splunk has worked closely with AWS to provide customers an integration to AWS Network Firewall. In today’s blog, co-authored by my esteemed colleague Anush Jayaraman, we’ll first detail the data flow architecture and your options to ingest the AWS Network Firewall data.
