AWS Direct Connect provides a dedicated network connection between on-premises and AWS environments. Such a connection can be more reliable and increase the uptime of your services because you’re unlikely to be impacted by an ISP’s availability issues, as is the case with traditional, internet-based connections. With our most recent release, Direct Connect connections can be automatically discovered and monitored in LogicMonitor.
This is the first official release of Up Pro, which includes a number of improvements over the open-source version for production applications. If you’re unfamiliar with Up, it’s a tool which helps you manage and deploy serverless apis, apps and websites in seconds to your own AWS infrastructure. In short: it’s the easiest way to deploy Node.js, Golang, Python among others to AWS, and can cost as little as $1/mo to run or in some cases free.
Many Apex Up users have been asking about integration with continuous integration platforms, this post walks through staging and deploying Up to production using Semaphore CI.
Though re:Invent technically runs for another day, the fourth day is traditionally the final day in terms of large announcements — this certainly rings true for this year as well, with several significant announcements from Amazon and associates.
As re:Invent continues, so to does the string of announcements promising to change the face of cloud computing. Many of the major announcements today came from Amazon itself — amongst other items, AWS announced two new containerized cloud offerings.
Day two of re:Invent has shaped up to be just as interesting as the first, with some very interesting announcements from some rather large hitters. Let’s take a look at today’s announcements in this, the second part of our ongoing re:Invent coverage.
For cloud security managers, re:Invent is almost a Christmas morning of security announcements, new feature sets, and demonstrations designed to convey important lessons gleaned throughout the previous year. re:Invent 2017 is shaping up to be no exception, with a veritable bevy of content to discuss.
Over the past several weeks, the security of AWS S3 buckets have come under increasing scrutiny. While the S3 service itself has not suffered any known breaches, customer misconfigurations have created some big headaches for some equally big companies.
The concept of “the cloud” is an amazingly powerful and novel solution for many providers and users. The idea of shifting from physical infrastructure to the digital space is an attractive one, especially when consideration is given to the impact of such a migration in terms of economy, ease of access, and ease of use. Due to this alluring nature, many organizations have rushed to adopt cloud-based solutions in recent years, and have garnered a large amount of success.
Creatives and businesses depend on programmers to fulfil their visions. The problem? Programmers are scarce. There are 230,000 unfilled jobs for programmers in the U.S. alone, and more than 90 percent of the gap is outside Silicon Valley. And, when the vast majority of the world’s great software talent resides in the halls of tech juggernauts — like Google, Amazon and Facebook — giving them an embarrassment of riches, the rest of the world is left behind.
