AWS ECS Anywhere

ECS Anywhere is an extension of AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS) that allows you to run and manage containers on your own infrastructure alongside AWS services. It enables you to deploy and manage ECS tasks on your on-premises servers, edge locations, or other cloud providers. In this blog post, we will explore ECS Anywhere, understand its architecture, and provide code examples to demonstrate how it works.

S3 Delete Security with MFA

Deleting from Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is a critical operation that involves removing objects or entire buckets from the storage service. Proper management of data deletion is essential to maintain data integrity, privacy, and compliance with organizational and regulatory requirements. In this essay, we will explore the considerations, best practices, and potential challenges associated with deleting data from S3.

S3 Pre-Signed URLs

A Presigned URL, also known as a “pre-signed URL,” is a time-limited URL that provides temporary access to a specific resource or operation in a web application. In the context of Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service), a Presigned URL allows users to grant time-limited, secure access to private objects stored in S3 buckets.

When generating a Presigned URL, the owner of the resource (typically an S3 object) includes a signature with the URL. This signature is generated using the owner’s AWS security credentials, such as access key and secret access key, and it verifies the authenticity and integrity of the URL. The Presigned URL also contains the necessary information about the desired operation, such as GET or PUT, and the expiration time for the URL.

DynamoDB and DAX


DAX (DynamoDB Accelerator) is a fully managed, in-memory caching service for DynamoDB that can significantly improve read performance by reducing the number of requests to DynamoDB. DAX is designed to work with DynamoDB, and it provides a fast, scalable, and highly available caching layer that sits between your application and DynamoDB.

DAX can significantly improve read performance by reducing the number of requests to DynamoDB and caching frequently accessed data in memory. By using DAX, you can improve the performance and cost-effectiveness of your application while minimizing infrastructure management.

DynamoDB Performance and Optimizations

DynamoDB is designed to provide high performance and scalability, even at scale. It is a highly available and durable NoSQL database service that can handle large volumes of data and requests with low latency.

DynamoDB is a distributed database service that uses sharding to partition data across multiple servers called nodes. Each node is responsible for storing a subset of the data, and the partition key is used to determine which node stores the data. This allows DynamoDB to scale horizontally by adding more nodes to the cluster as the data and request volume grows.
