      #73: Edge Networking Special

      Shane Baldacchino - Edge Specialist Solutions Architect, ANZ, AWS | Dean Samuels - Lead Technologist, ASEAN, AWS

      In this 1 hour-long themed episode of AWS TechChat, join us as we sail to the Edge and demystify many of the core concepts that occur before end-user requests are made. We start the show setting a foundation of Domain Name System (DNS), why it is important, before talking about Amazon Route 53, a highly available and scalable cloud DNS Service. It is also a full featured DNS service that is API, SDK, and CLI driven. We then introduce the concept of Content Delivery Networks (CDN), and talk about Amazon CloudFront which speeds up the distribution of your static and dynamic web content. Amazon CloudFront also delivers the content through a worldwide network of data centers called edge locations. Amazon CloudFront allows you to run AWS Lambda functions at the edge. Lambda@Edge is an extension of AWS Lambda which lets you execute functions and customize the content Amazon CloudFront delivers. Before closing out, we talk about AWS Global Accelerator, a service that improves the availability and performance of your applications with local or global users. It provides static IP addresses that act as a fixed entry point to your application endpoints in a single or multiple AWS Regions.

      #72: May / June Tech Round-up

      Shane Baldacchino - Solutions Architect, ANZ, AWS | Peter Stanski - Head of Solution Architecture, AWS

      In this Episode of AWS TechChat, Shane and Pete perform a tech round up from May through to June of 2020. There is now an ability to provide AWS Direct Connect testing. You can now use the Resiliency Toolkit to test the resiliency of the AWS Direct Connect connections. The failover testing feature enables customers to test resiliency by disabling one or more Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) sessions using the AWS Management Console, Command Line Interface, or AWS Direct Connect API. AWS Shield Advanced now allows proactive engagement from the DDoS Response Team (DRT) when a DDoS event is detected. When you turn on proactive engagement, the DRT will directly contact you if an Amazon Route 53 health check associated with your protected resource becomes unhealthy during an event that's detected by Shield Advanced. Amazon Redshift now delivers better cold query performance by significantly improving compilation times. Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL Global Database Supports Managed Recovery Point Objective (RPO). Tighten Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) permissions for your IAM users and roles using access history of Amazon S3 actions. Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) now supports Apache Kafka version upgrades. We pivot to share the AWS Transfer family update, you can now use the source IP as an additional factor of authentication. A raft of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) updates including the availability of the Graviton 2 based instances. Finally, we talk about Amazon FSx for Windows File Server now enables you to grow storage and to scale performance on your file systems.

      #69: Cost Optimization Special

      Shane Baldacchino - Solutions Architect, ANZ, AWS | Peter Stanski - Head of Solution Architecture, AWS

      In this themed episode of AWS TechChat we explore methods you can use to make a step change in optimizing cost in your AWS account and we are not talking about powering off idle resources. We talk about the new AWS Graviton Processor in the form of the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) M6G, R6G and C6G. Currently in public preview, meaning you can request access. If your workload can make use of an aarch64 architecture, they can save you in the realm of 40% off your EC2 costs. We also talk about Amazon EC2 Spot Instances that lets you take advantage of unused Amazon EC2 capacity in the AWS Cloud. Spot Instances are available at up to a 90% discount compared to On-Demand price, which is something to hang your hat on. You can consume spot from AWS Fargate - Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), Amazon EC2, Application Load Balancer, Amazon Elastic Map Reduce (EMR), AWS CloudFormation, AWS Data Pipleline and AWS Batch. We then pivot to AWS Well-Architected Framework that provides best practices for designing and operating reliable, secure, efficient, and cost-effective systems in the cloud. We hone in on the cost optimization pillar before riffing over some tips from a field solution architect on what they look when trying to trim costs out of an account.
