Slack has become a vital tool for collaboration for teams and companies around the world, and we are excited about the launch of Slack Enterprise Key Management (EKM). By integrating with AWS Key Management Service (KMS) in a customer’s AWS account, Slack EKM gives you tighter control over access to data that is stored in Slack. With Slack EKM, you can create a Customer Master Key that always stays under your control. Then, using key policies, you grant Slack access to use your CMK to generate and decrypt data keys.

One of the core principles of building highly available applications on AWS is to work with a multi-Availability Zone architecture. In the unlikely event an AZ fails, this allows applications to continue running using resources in the other AZs. Customers use different strategies to handle the routing of user traffic to different components of their applications across AZ, ranging from load balancers and Elastic IPs to Domain Name Resolution. In this post, we present an approach to achieve failover of a private IP address across AZs.

If your organization suddenly had a quarter-million dollars freed up in your engineering budget without having to sacrifice on performance, what would you do with it? For a vacation-experience customer at Capgemini, the decision was easy—reinvest in the roll-out of new applications. It took just 10 days for the customer to realize 30 percent savings on overlooked AWS assets, resulting in an overall 10 percent optimization in AWS cost.

N2WS is an AWS Storage Competency Partner.
