AWS Backup - I

-

 

Use AWS Backup to centrally manage backup configurations, monitor backup activity across AWS services, or restore an AWS resource from a backup.

Centrally manage backups:

Simplify backup management from a centralized console to protect your storage volumes, databases, and file systems.

The AWS Backup console enables you to manage all backup activity with a consolidated view for monitoring and alerts.

Use the console, APIs, or CLI as a consistent method to backup, restore, and set retention across AWS services in the cloud and on-premises.

Automate backup processes:

Save time and money with automated backup schedules, retention management, and lifecycle management.

AWS Backup integrates with tagging to make it easy to organize and protect resources according to defined data classifications.

Applying backup policies across tagged resources simplifies your data protection processes and removes the need for costly, custom solutions and manual processes.

Backup compliance:

Organize and refine backup compliance and audits with centralized, monitoring, logging, and alerts. 

AWS Backup encrypts your data in transit and at rest, and lets you manage your backup plans, backup access policies, retention, and data protection lifecycles from a single, consolidated place. 

This helps ensure you’re meeting both internal and regulatory compliance requirements.

Backup activity monitoring:

AWS Backup provides a dashboard that makes it simple to audit backup and restore activity across AWS services.

Create a backup vault to store the backup:




Creating a vault lock with mininum and maximum retention as 2 and 5 days.




Let's create a backup plan. I am going to take a backup of an EBS volume.

Create a backup rule.


In the backup rule, We mention:

1) Backup vault name.

2) Frequency of the backup. I have selected daily back at 3 PM PST.

Finally, setting backup retention.




AWS Backup automatically deletes your backups at the end of this period to save storage costs for you. 

Now that we have the plan ready. Let's assign resources to be backed up (EBS Volume).



We are done with setting up the AWS Backup plan. Will continue in the next blog once the backup is completed.

AWS Code Commit - CI/CD Series Part 1

-
Image
  This is a multi-part series to show how to implement a CI/CD pipeline in AWS. In this post, We will see how to use AWS Code Commit. AWS CodeCommit is a fully managed source control service that allows you to store and manage your code securely in the cloud.  It provides a private Git repository for your code and supports all Git commands and workflows. CodeCommit also integrates with other AWS services like AWS CodePipeline and AWS CodeBuild, allowing you to automate your entire software release process. This can help you streamline your development workflows and improve the overall efficiency of your team. I created a repo from AWS CodeCommit -> Create Repository. And I begin with cloning the repo locally. So that I can make changes and push it. To clone the repo click on "HTTPS" under Clone URL. I make changes to index.html file. Now push it to AWS CodeCommit. Let’s verify the changes in AWS Code commit. Changes are reflected in AWS CodeCommit. We are done with Part ...

Docker - Preventing IP overlapping

-
Image
  What is IP address overlapping? When the container IP address overlaps with another IP external, then the application running on the container is not accessible from outside due to the IP address overlapping.  NOTE: This IP address overlapping can happen on the bridge interface IP or docker container IP. Let's see how to address this IP overlapping issue on the bridge interface. I already have a running container.  root@demo:~# docker run -d --name web --network mynet1 nginx:alpine 268647e11011d513d2357ce1c81e0f48787038a83d01d028d31a5b29dbdb885b root@demo:~# docker container ls CONTAINER ID   IMAGE          COMMAND                  CREATED         STATUS         PORTS     NAMES 268647e11011   nginx:alpine   "/docker-entrypoint.…"   4 seconds ago   Up 3 seconds   80/tcp  ...
