Amazon AWS SysOps – EC2 Storage and Data Management – EBS and EFS Part 4

CloudWatch & EBS So for Cloud Watch and ABS, you need to know a few things. You need to know a few metrics. And it’s going to be volume idle time, and that’s the number of seconds. Then there is no read or write being submitted. That means that your disk is idle and doing nothing. Volume Q length, which is number of operations waiting to be executed. And so if you get a really high number, that means that a lot of operations are being queued. That means that…

EBS Operation: Volume Migration All right, finally, let’s talk about the last operation, which is, how do you encrypt an EVs volume? So, when you created an encrypted EVs volume, right away you get the following. You get data at rest being encrypted inside your volume. All the data inflight between the instance and the volume is encrypted. All the snapshots will be encrypted, and all the volumes created from the snapshots are encrypted. So there’s encryption all around the place. And the old encryption and decryption mechanism is handled…

Amazon AWS SysOps – EC2 Storage and Data Management – EBS and EFS Part 2

EBS Volume Burst Okay, so now there is this concept of burst that I’ve mentioned before on GP two volumes. But now we’re going to formalize this. So if your GP two volumes is less than 1000GB, that means that your IAPS is less than 3000 because it’s three I Ops per gigabytes for GP two, then it can burst. And burst, that means it can achieve 3000 IOPS performance even though you had less than 1000GB. So this is similar concept to when we have t two instances with…

RDS Multi AZ vs Read Replicas Hands On So I am going to create a Postgres database, and we’ll see the difference between multiaz and read replicas in this lecture. So I’ll create Postgres and then I’ll click on Next and I’ll create a dev test type of instance. And we’ll enable multiaz on our own. If you use production, you can see that you can already have multiaz out of the box and provision IOP storage. But for now, we’ll just do dev tests and do things manually. Click…

Amazon AWS SysOps – CloudFormation for SysOps Part 4

CloudFormation DeletionPolicy All right, let’s learn how to retain data on Deletes so we can put something called a Deletion Policy on any resource we want to control what happens when the confirmation templates gets deleted. So we can say Deletion Policy equals retain and we’ll specify on any resource we want. And in that case confirmation will preserve or backup that resource, which is kind of neat. And we can specify to keep a resource, we’ll specify Retain and it works for anything thing, for resources, for nested stacks,…
