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.

Amazon VPCs are an essential part of any cloud-first networking strategy. Subnet and routing table configurations, along with security settings, are at risk from day-to-day operational errors. N2WS offers a backup solution that takes the guesswork and manual labor out of backing up and recovering Amazon VPC configurations, with the ability to automatically restore across AWS Regions and accounts. N2WS is an AWS Storage Competency Partner.

The BICS SIM for Things platform is a global connectivity solution for IoT that provides a single global SIM to securely connect IoT devices all around the world. By leveraging BICS’ network connectivity information customers can achieve enhanced security and extract additional insights from their IoT fleet. Using BICS’ advanced APIs, solution architects can follow the steps in this blog to enable the integration between AWS IoT and SIM for Things.

Mainframe cold storage based on disks and tapes is typically expensive and rigid. BMC AMI Cloud Data improves the economics and flexibility by leveraging AWS storage for archival, backup, and recovery of mainframe data. BMC AMI Cloud Data enables mainframe customers to leverage modern cloud technologies and economics to reduce data recovery risks and improve application availability by providing a software-defined solution for archive, backup, and recovery directly from AWS.

Logging data is the simplest act of collecting data for measurement and plays an important role in modern enterprises. But when this log data is large in volume, high in velocity, or has lots of variety across formats, it poses challenges for data storage, processing, and enrichment. Explore the features of Logz.io, a unified machine data analytics platform that collects and processes logs and metrics, while also identifying critical events with contextual information for intelligently acting upon them.

Internet of Things (IoT) gateways enabled with AWS IoT Greengrass connect to the AWS IoT Core service. Here, we explore the AWS IoT Greengrass security framework using AWS IoT Greengrass Hardware Security Integration (HSI) and how it works with secure elements. Learn how to couple Just in Time Registration (JITR) or Just in Time Provisioning (JITP), and how to implement the secure element from APN Partner Microchip Technology leveraging AWS IoT Greengrass HSI.

The concept of a Managed Service Provider (MSP) isn’t necessarily new, but it can be difficult for organizations to grasp. What does it take to become a next-generation MSP? How does an organization begin that process on AWS? At a high level, a next-gen MSP educates customers on a proactive, ongoing basis; leads with AWS Professional Services; and advocates to customers the use of and evolution of AWS services. In this post, explore why you should care about next-gen MSPs and what’s in it for your organization.

With the 2018 release of Amazon OpenSearch Service integration with Amazon Cognito, you can now enable corporate users to access OpenSearch with Kibana using your corporate directory credentials through identity federation. In this post, we share a step-by-step integration of Auth0 and Amazon Cognito. With Amazon Cognito User Pool, you can extend your directory so Auth0 users are able to log in to Kibana with the same security credentials.

The golden AMI pipeline addresses challenges faced by customer cloud teams. It describes a method for providing a repeatable, scalable, and approved application stack factory that increases innovation velocity, reduces effort, and increases the chief information security officer’s confidence that IT teams are compliant in their cloud deployments. In this post, we explored how to set up a golden AMI creation pipeline with a combination of AWS services, as well as the Qualys Scanner available on AWS Marketplace.
