Learn how to set up Active Directory authentication with authorization for Postgres. Heimdall Data provides synchronization scripts for other databases as well, allowing all Amazon RDS instance types to be supported in a similar way. Using Active Directory authentication allows organizations to standardize their password and authorization management via a globally available authentication store, reducing management overhead and improving security and auditing capabilities.

Migrating a database to a new platform is a significant event in an application’s lifecycle. The process can impact performance, availability, and reliability to a large extent. With Cloudreach, customers will see benefits from lower cost of migration, optimization and modernization, lower administrative burden to operate core databases, and confidence in the approach and technologies used to execute the most stressful part of an infrastructure change.

One of the biggest advantages of VMware Cloud on AWS is that it can readily integrate with other AWS services. That gives you countless ways to elevate your workloads. If you’re amassing data in your databases over time and are looking for novel ways to glean fresh insights out of it, using Amazon Redshift and Amazon QuickSight is an easy and accessible way to achieve it. This post describes how to get more out of existing data residing inside your databases running in VMware Cloud on AWS.

As organizations acquire more and more data, the need to effectively store and query the data has become very important. Canvas Glide from LTI is a tool for administering Amazon Redshift’s day-to-day routine tasks. It also helps organizations manage all financial aspects related to cost allocation, chargeback, monitoring, and planning of Amazon Redshift clusters. Learn how Canvas Glide assists administrators to successfully manage their clusters and guides them on common maintenance tasks.

With the proliferation of different, constantly changing applications, it’s become a challenge to innovate quickly while having a strategy in place to prevent ballooning storage costs. Legacy archival and analytic tools often restrict developers and diminish the benefits of NoSQL’s handling of modern, rich data sources. Learn how MongoDB is committed to making it easier for customers to scale and transform their data management solutions to make developers’ lives easier.

To reap the benefits of cloud computing, organizations cannot simply take their existing applications and architectures in their legacy on-premises environment and move them as-is to the cloud. True cloud modernization with MongoDB Atlas on AWS enables you to move data and simultaneously apply the latest innovations in development methodologies, architectural patterns, and technologies to refresh your portfolio of existing applications.

MariaDB offers a single unified analytical and transactional cloud database that can auto scale without the costly tradeoffs. SkySQL is a database as a service (DBaaS) solution on AWS that makes it easy for customers to start using MariaDB Enterprise in the cloud. It eliminates the need to pre-provision expensive hardware for testing, which often sits idle. In this post, the AWS SaaS Factory team speaks with Alexey Vorovich, VP of Engineering for SkySQL at MariaDB, about the recent SkySQL launch.

A top priority for customers running SAP workloads on AWS is to regularly back up their databases to recover them in case of failure. Regarding where to ship the backups, Amazon S3 is a cost-effective, highly durable, and reliable storage service. Dive deep on one of the SAP-certified third-party backup solutions: Emory Cloud Backup, developed by Syntax. Emory Cloud Backup allows you to manage and store SAP databases backups—like SAP HANA, Oracle, and SAP ASE (Sybase)—directly on Amazon S3.

As organizations move to AWS, ensuring you have an effective disaster recovery (DR) strategy in place to manage outages is paramount. Through defining a common understanding of RTO and RPO requirements, organizations can adequately design for DR solutions. Learn how Onica’s Elastic Engineering team co-created a solution with a client that leverages serverless architecture and enables an automated backup and restore for Amazon RDS instances.

The massive scale and efficiencies offered by cloud data lakes are best served by a continuous replication mechanism from on-premises and cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications. Learn how SAP ERP, Amazon Redshift, and HVR Change Data Capture (CDC) add up to more than the sum of the individual parts, and dive deep into HVR’s architecture and the unique value proposition for SAP customers building their data lakes with AWS.
