AWS Core Services - Elastic Block Store

 


·       You can choose EBS volumes between HDD and SSD types.

·       Pay as you go

·       Backup using snapshots.

·       Block-level replication – much more durable because of that.

·     The right tool for the right job. – choose magnetic for the logs.

·       For DR protection (Disaster recovery) protection you can copy snapshots to different AWS

Region.

·       Can change to HDD to SSD or increase capacity

·       Can to this on fly. Without needing to stop the instances.

·       If you want to attach new volume to existing instances u have to create the EBS volume should be created on the same availability zone as the instance resides.

·       how to attach volume to an instance

o   Go to action and click attach volume.

o   Select the instance

o   Select device - /dev/sdb

o   Go to the instance tab and click connect.

o   Go to the terminal and connect with the instance

o   “lsblk” use to find out what are the blocks within the instance

o   To add file system with it “ sudo mke2fs /dev/xvdb”

o   Optional - To run as root type “ sudo !!”

o   To mont that volume in to a folder “ sudo mount /dev/xvdb /mnt”

o   To unmount “ umount /mnt”

o   Then select the volume, go to action , click detach volume.

o   EBS has ability to have different storage requirements.

o   Pay only for the capacity you use.

Opensips Implementation on Ubuntu 18.04

  Theory     Load Balancing in  OpenSIPS   ·        The "load-balancing" module comes to provide traffic routing based on load. Shortly, when OpenSIPS routes call to a set of destinations, it is able to keep the load status (as number of ongoing calls) of each destination and to choose to route to the less loaded destination (at that moment)   ·        OpenSIPS is aware of the capacity of each destination - it is preconfigured with the maximum load accepted by the destinations.     ·        OpenSIPS will consider the less loaded destination not the destination with the smallest number of ongoing calls, but the destination with the largest available slot.   ·        Also, the "load-balancing" (LB) module is able to receive feedback from the destinations (if they are capable of). This mechanism is used for notifying OpenSIPS when the maximum capacity of a destination changed (like a GW with more or less E1 cards)   ·        The "load-b

  ·        There are 3 parts. o    Aws regions o    AWS availability Zones o    AWS Edge locations. ·        AWS Regions are geographic areas that host 2 or more availability zones, o    Organizing levels for AWS services o    Resources in one region are not automatically replicate to another region. o    Not all services are available in all-region.   ·        Availability Zones o    Availability zones are the collections of data centers in a specific region. o    Each AZ in physically isolated from the others but connected together by a fast low-latency network. o    Network through Tier 1 transit providers. o    Ensures High availability and data redundancy within the region. o    If one zone goes down others can handle requests.   ·        Edge Locations. o    Edge locations host a content delivery network Or CDN called amazon cloud front. o    Cloud front used to deliver content to the customers. o    Request for the content are automatical

AWS Private Virtual Cloud

Image
  AWS VPC integrates with numerous integrated services. ·        Each AWS account can create multiple vpcs ·        A VPC defines an IP address space that is then divided by subnets. ·        Subnets are deployed within the availability zones. U can create many. Fewer is recommended to limit the network complexity. ·        You can configure route tables to the subnets. - to control the traffic between subnet and the internet. ·        By default all subnets in vpc can communicate with each other. ·        2 types of subnets. Public has direct access to the internet. Private doesn’t have direct access. ·        To make the subject public you have to attach the gateway to the vpc and update the route table. ·        EC2 instance also needs public ip to route to internet gateway. ·        Example have HA o    Private subnet is isolated from the internet.
