In this article, we will introduce one of the most useful tools that every engineer responsible for the network layer should have in their arsenal: VPC flow logs. Back in the day when private data centers were cool, when we needed to troubleshoot network problems, we had to “tap the wire” and that could take many forms such as installing packet sniffers on various network segments or configuring complicated traffic mirroring options. Enter VPC flow logs! With the cloud and the advent of software defined networks, troubleshooting IP networks has never been easier.

AWS Config offers basic capabilities for change management in small AWS environments but has limitations when it comes to complex and dynamic environments.

The Security pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework is focused on ensuring that workloads are designed, deployed, and managed in a secure manner. It includes implementing security best practices, such as protecting data confidentiality, integrity, and availability, managing user access and privileges, and implementing network and application-level security controls.

As businesses increasingly migrate their applications and infrastructure to the cloud, ensuring resiliency becomes paramount to maintain service availability and minimize disruptions. Resilient cloud architectures are designed to withstand failures and recover quickly from disruptions, offering enhanced reliability and performance. This article provides an overview of resiliency patterns and trade-offs that can help architects build efficient and robust cloud solutions.

Amazon GuardDuty serves as a threat detection solution that employs machine learning and various methodologies to detect malevolent activities and unauthorized conduct within your AWS accounts and workloads.

In today's cloud computing landscape, cost optimization plays a crucial role in maximizing the value of your infrastructure. Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a range of services to help users achieve cost efficiency, and one such option is leveraging Graviton processors for Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service). You can save up to 10% in RDS compute costs by switching from x86 to Graviton processors. We cover the advantages and things to consider on this post, and how Stream.Security can help determine where you can make this switch.

The Sustainability pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework focuses on integrating sustainability considerations into the design, development, and operation of cloud workloads. This includes reducing the environmental impact of IT operations, promoting sustainable practices, and providing tools and resources to measure and report on sustainability performance.
