AWS EC2 termination protection is like a safety lock for your EC2 instances. When you turn it on, it stops you from accidentally deleting your important instances through the AWS Console, command line, or code. This means that even if someone tries to delete the instance, it won't happen until you specifically turn off the protection. It's a handy tool to prevent costly mistakes and keep your critical instances safe from unintended deletion. This post is a part of my initiative to share a short note on AWS. While the information shared may be familiar to many, I would like to consider this as a reference for AWS services and best practices. #AWS #AWSTips #awscloud

🔐🌍 Enhance your EC2 instance security with precise IP access control! Learn how to: 🚦 Manage inbound & outbound traffic 🛡️ Use Security Groups and Network ACLs effectively Secure your AWS environment today. Details 👉 https://lnkd.in/gDSNBmxn #SecurityGroup #AWS #ACL #Inbound #Outbound

The AWS EC2 Dashboard has rolled out a range of features and capabilities that are designed to enhance your control over data protection, security, zone management, and more. Here's a quick rundown of what you can now manage under the EC2 Settings. Please see the below blog post for details. #Amazon #AWS #EC2 #AmazonAWS #EC2Instances #Security #DataProtection #CloudSecurity

Contiguous IPs is such a common ask for firewall allow listing and simplified routing. Now not only can you get a contiguous IPv6 prefix but also a contiguous IPv4 cidr. Just remember IP address is a good broad access control but should be used with other stronger forms of identity too. #ipv4 #networking #aws #ipam

🌐 Exploring the AWS Console! 🚀 ➡️ AWS has Global Services: • Identity and Access Management (IAM) • Route 53 (DNS service) • CloudFront (Content Delivery Network) • WAF (Web Application Firewall) ➡️ Most AWS services are Region-scoped: • Amazon EC2 (Infrastructure as a Service) • Elastic Beanstalk (Platform as a Service) • Lambda (Function as a Service) • Rekognition (Software as a Service) Region Table: https://lnkd.in/g2fxbu9M #AWS #cloudcomputing

In AWS, a Security Group acts as a stateful firewall that controls inbound and outbound traffic to EC2 instances, Load balancers, RDS, Opensearch Domains, Elastic Container Service(ECS), Elastic File System(EFS), Elasticache, Redshirt and Lambada (inside VPC). It allows you to define rules that permit or deny traffic based on IP addresses, protocols, and ports. Since it's stateful, if you allow incoming traffic, the return traffic is automatically allowed without needing an explicit outbound rule.

Are you tired of managing SSH keys and dealing with open ports? Enhance your AWS security posture with AWS SSM Session Manager! This article discusses how to connect to EC2 instances without exposing them to the internet. Key benefits: - No more open ports 🔒 - Secure access to private subnets 🔒 - Simplified key management 🔑 - Granular IAM control 🔒

🚀 Week Ten: Deep Dive into AWS Security Groups, Instance Types, and EC2 Pricing Hello, LinkedIn Community! 🌟 This week, I delved into essential AWS concepts, including security groups, instance types, and EC2 pricing models. Here's a summary of what I learned: 🔐 Security Groups: Virtual firewalls controlling inbound and outbound traffic for EC2 instances. Inbound rules allow specific traffic (e.g., SSH, HTTP); outbound rules control outgoing traffic. 💻 Instance Types: Various types optimized for different workloads, including General Purpose, Compute Optimized, Memory Optimized, Accelerated Computing, and Storage Optimized. 💰 EC2 Pricing: On-Demand, Reserved, Convertible Instances, Spot Instances, and Dedicated Hosts. Maximizing savings with Saving Plans and BYOL (Bring Your Own License). 🛠 Windows Instance Setup: Creating and accessing Windows instances on EC2, including using user data scripts for automation. Thanks for following along! 🚀 #AWSSecurity #EC2 #CloudComputing #AWS #TechJourney #CloudInfrastructure 🔹 For an in-depth exploration of these concepts, check out my detailed blog post here:

Happy Friday! 👩💻 AWS supports dynamically removing and adding auto-assigned public IPv4 addresses from now on. This feature is important for your architecture and cost optimization with your public IPs.  👩🎤 Cloud security advice: Do not use public IP unless you really really need it. #aws #AWScommunity #cloudsecurity
