AWS Security Explained
From fine-tuning identity and access management (IAM) to scaling as usage grows, there are plenty of operational and security challenges for teams already committed to working in Amazon’s public cloud. Most revolve around managing scalability with multi-region and multi-cloud security. We’ve addressed the specifics of EC2 security and Lambda security. Now we’re looking at AWS […]
What is AWS Lambda Runtime?
Amazon Web Services (AWS) Lambda runtimes are more than just an execution environment — they shape how applications scale, integrate, and remain secure in a serverless architecture. While developers often view them as technical enablers for event-driven workloads, runtimes come with broader impacts, influencing outcomes like operational agility and security posture. We’ve discussed AWS Lambda […]
AWS Container Security: A Comprehensive Guide
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has become the de facto platform for running containers. Thanks to its vast array of services like ECS, EKS, and Fargate, AWS simplifies scaling and orchestration to make containerized apps the backbone of modern cloud-native architectures. However, with widespread adoption comes a unique security challenge: managing a highly dynamic, ever-changing attack […]
What is AWS Lambda Security?
AWS (Amazon Web Services) Lambda is a serverless compute service that manages infrastructure so clients can run code in response to events without provisioning servers. Its ephemeral nature means that each instance is stateless and disposed of after execution — but what does that mean for organizational security? We’re talking about best practices and how […]
The Basics of AWS Fargate
With the wide adoption of containerized applications, there’s an increasing demand for solutions that simplify container management in cloud environments. Amazon Web Services (AWS) Fargate aims to fill this gap by offering a serverless computing platform that streamlines container deployment without requiring developers to manage the underlying infrastructure. While AWS Fargate can make life easier […]
AWS Fargate Security Best Practices
Amazon Web Services (AWS) Fargate, a container-as-a-service (CaaS) solution, has simplified container management by transferring infrastructure security to AWS, while customers retain responsibility for security within the container layer — application, data, and container configurations. That division is central to Fargate’s model and is at the core of specialized security practices that will need to […]
What is AWS EC2 Security?
Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) service – from Amazon Web Services has wide appeal owing to its flexibility to spin up compute power as quickly as a customer’s needs evolve. This popular Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) option lets organizations deploy disparate workloads, from running web apps to DevOps development and testing environments. It also […]
