Using VPC Flow Logs to Monitor AWS Virtual Public Cloud

While no man is an island, your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is, except it’s a digital island floating in the ocean of a public cloud offered by a cloud service provider (CSP). The VPC means that everything on your digital island is yours, and none of the CSPs other customers can (or should be able to!) access it. You’ve likely been introduced to the shared security model, a sometimes-confusing way that organizations and their cloud-services providers (CSPs) split security responsibilities.

When declaring and responding to an incident with incident.io, most of your interactions with our product will go via Slack. You might configure your forms in our web dashboard, but the responder using them to declare an incident is most likely doing so from a Slack modal, and the incident announcement will be posted as a Slack message. This means a lot of our product design falls within the constraints of what we can build using Slack’s block kit.

Exploring the new EKS Pod Identity Functionality

One announcement that caught my attention in the EKS space during this year’s AWS re:Invent conference was the addition of the Amazon EKS Pod Identities feature. This new addition helps simplify the complexities of AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) within Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). EKS Pod Identities simplify IAM credential management in EKS clusters, addressing a problematic area over the past few years as Microservice adoption has risen across the industry.
