Serverless

Q Is Fargate container or serverless?

Ans: It is both.

Q What is the advantage of using ECS and Fargate?

Ans: 

The benefits in ECS are as follows

  • A managed service for containerized applications that does not require much user input to run docker applications.
  • Micro services consisting of multiple applications run in isolated containers.
  • Auto scales tasks based on application Load.
  • Integrates with other AWS services including IAM, Cloud watch, elastic load-balancing, cloud formation templates, EBS volumes, Batch, ECR, and cloud tail logs.
  • A Virtual private cloud(VPC) with no resources shared with other users.
  • Provides support for running a code pipeline with ECS as the deployment platform.
  • Supports the latest docker version.
Fargate provides the following additional benefits:
  • With a Fargate launch type, a user does not create or manage any EC2 instances, as none are exposed on the cluster.
  • Tasks are directly exposed to user via an ENI.
  • The underlying infrastructure is provisioned by Fargate. EC2 Instances are not to be managed with the Fargate launch type.
  • CodePipeline Supports Fargate as a deployment platform.
  • Microservices Based on Container definitions encapsulated in a task definition are explicitly linked, and are not to be linked with any additional options, such as links.
  • Cloud watch logs maybe auto configured.

Effect : Deny vs No Action

No action allows us to provide granular level control over resources operations. For example, if we use effect, deny For all actions in IAM An, then we use effect allow over some actions in IAM then deniable supersede allow. The way to overcome above issue is to use NoAction on all IAM operations And action on Allowed IAM operations. Example { "Version" : "2012-10-17" , "Statement" : [ { "Effect" : "Allow" , "NotAction" : [ "iam:*" , "organizations:*" , "account:*" ], "Resource" : "*" }, { "Effect" : "Allow" , "Action" : [ "iam:CreateServiceLinkedRole" , "iam:DeleteServiceLinkedRole" , "iam:ListRoles" , "organizations:DescribeOrganization" , "account:ListRegions" ,

RDS is not server-less. Aurora surverless is seven less which is an exception. Dynamo DB is server-less. There are two types of backups for RDS Automated backups Database snapshots Read replicas Can be multi availability zones. Use to increase performance Must have backups turned on. Can be in different regions. Can be MySQL,PostgreSQL,Maria DB, Oracle, Aurora, SQL Server is not supported. Can be promoted to master, this will break read replica. Multi availability zone Used for DRG only and not performance. You can force a fail over from one availability zone to another by re-booting the RDS instance. Encryption at Rest Is supported for My SQL, Oracle, SQL server, Postgre SQL, Maria DB and Aurora. Encryp
