The process of setting up a logon notification is more involved than what you might reasonably expect, but Brien shows the way.
Not to be outdone by ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini, Amazon is currently previewing its own AI assistant for AWS, which it calls Amazon Q. Like competing AI assistants, Amazon Q could be described as a cloud-based, large language model (LLM), generative AI assistant.
A new testing tool for AWS Backup allows you to create a restore testing plan that you can use for the purposes of validating your backups.
Brien Posey explains the advantages and potential disadvantages of using DNS over HTTPS.
Cloud-native developers on AWS were greeted with a preview of a new generative AI assistant called Amazon Q during the company's ongoing re:Invent conference, adding to the existing CodeWhisperer functionality.
Because standard scheduling options aren't going to be a good fit for every situation.
Bug fixes, security updates and feature updates are delivered through Windows Update, but if you are running Windows on an EC2 instance, then drivers need to be updated in a completely different way.
Major industry players including cloud giants Google and AWS publicized an ongoing series of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks that are increasing in size and frequency.
Cloud giant AWS has teamed up with virtualization kingpin VMware and others to work on a Proof of Concept (PoC) for "distributed edge AI networking" as part of an Open Grid Alliance (OGA) project.
"I believe it will transform every application, industry and business."
AWS might be seen as late to the cloud giant AI party as Microsoft's "new Bing" rolled out along with multiple AI Copilots for many products and services, after which Google offered up its experimental Bard AI search engine while developing its own new large language models (LLMs), but Amazon has made some moves of its own.
New users sometimes ask Brien Posey how to get their data into the AWS cloud. This is what he says.
Amazon Web Services (AWS), seeking to not be left behind in the cloud giant AI space, is making moves to catch up to Microsoft and Google.
Amid calls for an industry pause on AI large language model (LLM) development, AWS has launched a program to boost generative AI startups.
One of the things that you can do with the Fault Injection Simulator is to force an EC2 instance offline as a way of testing your high-availability strategy.
After earlier detailing needed planning, Brien goes to the next step: an in-place upgrade of the Windows Server OS as it relates to AWS EC2.
Brien demonstrates the process of upgrading AWS EC2 instances running Windows Server 2012 R2 to newer OSes.
While it would be a bad idea to host a mission-critical workload on spot instances, they're great for dev/test environments or for workloads that do not have strict SLAs.
Brien walks through the process of creating an IAM role for the AWS Fault Injection Simulator in order to find out what happens when an EC2 spot instance is interrupted.
If an organization uses spot instances as a means of providing extra capacity for EC2 workloads, it must consider what will happen if a spot instance is interrupted.
