AWS PrivateLink for HAQM S3

Introducing private DNS support for HAQM S3 with AWS PrivateLink

Compliance requirements often mandate private connectivity when on-premises applications use cloud storage. To satisfy these requirements, customers set up private connections to HAQM S3 using AWS PrivateLink over either AWS Direct Connect, or AWS Site-to-Site VPN. As a result, data is transmitted directly to and from AWS, never traversing the public internet. AWS PrivateLink lets […]

How Globe Telecom used AWS DataSync at scale to migrate 7.2 PB of Hadoop data

Data migration is a critical first step for an organization in their cloud journey. It often requires a lift and shift of business-critical applications, databases, data analytics workloads, data warehouses, big data, and trained artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) models. The data is generated and stored in different layers causing complexity in the migration process. Due […]

Choosing the right storage for cloud native CI/CD on HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service

Building and testing software is a resource-intensive operation that usually involves a fleet of very powerful servers waiting in the wings for build jobs. With the rise of cloud native continuous integration/continuous development (CI/CD) systems on Kubernetes (i.e., Tekton, Jenkins X), we’re seeing a shift from the large (and often over-provisioned) static fleet of build […]

HAQM FSx for NetApp OnTAP

Why S&P Global chose HAQM FSx for NetApp ONTAP to achieve high availability and disaster recovery for SQL Server

Organizations have a requirement to build high availability and disaster recovery (HADR) solutions for their complex SQL Server infrastructure to prevent data loss and protect against corruption. With the rapid pace of cloud adoption, businesses across different industry verticals have realized the value of a successful proof-of-concept for any technical project that migrates existing environments […]

Best practices for data lake protection with AWS Backup

Data lakes, powered by HAQM Simple Storage Service (HAQM S3), provide organizations with the availability, agility, and flexibility required for modern analytics approaches to gain deeper insights. Protecting sensitive or business-critical information stored in these S3 buckets is a high priority for organizations. AWS Backup for HAQM S3 makes it easier to centrally automate the […]

HAQM FSx for NetApp OnTAP

Enhance your upstream workloads with HAQM FSx for NetApp ONTAP

Geological and Geophysical (G&G) workloads in Upstream Energy have different workflows associated with them, including Reservoir Simulation, Subsurface Interpretation, and Drilling and Completions. Due to the diverse performance and client requirements of these workflows, organizations often face a heavy operational burden of copying their data to multiple solutions for different protocols. Until recently, they faced […]

Simplifying HAQM EBS volume migration and modification on Kubernetes using the EBS CSI Driver

Enterprises running critical applications in containers may require access to a persistent storage layer that extends beyond the lifetime of a container instance. A block storage solution such as HAQM Elastic Block Store (HAQM EBS) is a good fit due to its high performance, low latency, and persistence which ensures that data can be re-attached to […]

Extending Java applications to directly access files in HAQM S3 without recompiling

The Java programming language has been among the most used languages in software development for many years, and a vast number of Java applications exist today. Almost all applications interact with files in some way, yet most of these have been written to interact with a file system based on block storage and cannot directly […]

Understanding Direct Network Interfaces on AWS Snow Family

To leverage the benefits of modern software development and automation, the telecommunications industry (telco) commonly employs containerized network functions (NF). The containerized environment demands certain requirements from the underlying infrastructure as opposed to a legacy monolithic IT workload. For example, a single network interface is reused for multiple workflows: network operations and maintenance (O&M) traffic, […]
