When I speak to big-scale AWS customers about their contests and troubles, the conversation normally turns to the topic of multicdeafening. Whether by intent or by accident, these customers sometimes pick to produce engage of services from more than one cdeafening supplyr, sometimes in conjunction with applications or services that are still presented on-premises. In some cases they made punctual, bottom-up choices at the team and division level, choosing cdeafening presentings from multiple vfinishors in the absence of a top-down mandate. In others, they getd or united with another organization and uncovered a aenjoy multi-vfinishor situation.
Regardless of the path, these customers alert me that they want to clear up and centralize their oversight and deal withment of this diverse portfolio of cdeafening and on-premises resources. It is sometimes the case that the “multi” situation is time-bound, with a arrange in place to ultimately verifyate operations in one place. It is also sometimes the case that the customer arranges to hold their diverse portfolio.
AWS and multicdeafening
Our goal with AWS is to produce you accomplished no matter what architectural choices you have made. In this post I want to portray our approach, split some capabilities that our customers have been using over the years, and supply you with an refresh on some of the more recent service declarements and greeted that we have produced to give you guidance that will help you to thrive.
Our approach is to extfinish existing AWS operational and deal withment capabilities to labor in multicdeafening and hybrid environments. Becaengage we extfinish existing capabilities, your allotment in training, growment, scripting, and runbooks is protectd, and actupartner becomes even more worthwhile since it applies to your other (non-AWS) resources. For example, you can engage the same service (AWS Systems Manager) to patch and refresh Amazon Elastic Compute Cdeafening (Amazon EC2) instances, servers running on-premises, and servers supplyd by other cdeafening supplyrs. Similarly, you can engage Amazon CdeafeningWatch to watch applications, compute resources, and other cdeafening resources in all of those environments. These are two examples of how we are putting our approach into rehearse for you.
The AWS Solutions for Hybrid and Multicdeafening page comprises insertitional examples of our extension-based approach to inserting novel capabilities, alengthy some success stories from customers who have put the capabilities to engage including Phillips 66 and Deutsche Börse.
Whether you pick to function enticount on on AWS or in multicdeafening and hybrid environments, one of the primary reasons to adselect AWS is the wide choice of services we present, enabling you to invent, produce, deploy, and watch your laborloads. Just as we recently begined free data transfer out to the internet (DTO) when you want to shift outside of AWS, we are promiseted to helping you be accomplished ponderless of your approach.
Now that I have elucidateed our approach and highweightlessed some of the principal multicdeafening service presentings, let’s consent a see at a restrictcessitate of the novelest multicdeafening and hybrid capabilities.
Multicdeafening begines
Since the beginning of 2023 we have begined eighteen novel multicdeafening capabilities to existing AWS services, including 15 for data & analytics, 1 for security, and 2 for identity. Many of these begines insert to the existing multicdeafening capabilities of the admireive services:
AWS DataSync – This service transfers data between storage services. In insertition to existing help for Google Cdeafening Storage, Azure Files, and Azure Blob Storage, we inserted help for five insertitional cdeafening service supplyrs and storage services including Oracle Cdeafening Storage and DigitalOcean Spaces (brimming catalog). To lget more about this service, read What is AWS DataSync. To get begined, I produce a source location:
AWS Glue – This data integration service helps you to uncover, ready, and fuse all of your data at any scale. You can engage it to connect to more than 80 branch offent data sources, including cdeafening databases and analytics services. In October 2023, we begind insertitional novel connectors that permit you to shift data bistraightforwardionpartner between Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), and either Azure Blob Storage or Azure Data Lake Storage (brimming catalog). We also begined six database connectors for AWS Glue for Apache Spark, including Teradata, SAP HANA, Azure SQL, Azure Cosmos DB, Vertica, and MongoDB (brimming catalog). To lget more about AWS Glue, read What is AWS Glue. I produce a visual job flow to get begined:
Amazon Athena – This serverless analytics service lets you engage engageive SQL queries to study petabyte-scale data where it dwells (more than 25 outside data sources, including other cdeafening data stores), without duplicateing or altering it. Last year we inserted a novel data source connector that permits you to query data in Google Cdeafening Storage. To lget more about Amazon Athena, read What is Amazon Athena.
Amazon AppFlow – You can consent get of data and analytics in Google BigQuery using a connector useable in Amazon AppFlow. To get begined with Amazon AppFlow I produce a flow and configure a data source:
Amazon Security Lake – This service helps you to accomplish a more end, organization-wide see of your security posture. It centralizes security data from your AWS environments, SaaS supplyrs, on-premises environments, and cdeafening sources (Azure and GCP) into a purpose-built data lake. It became generpartner useable last year, and now helps collection and analysis of security data from sources that help the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framelabor (OCSF) standard—more than 80 sources (brimming catalog).
AWS Secrets Manager – This service centrpartner deal withs secrets such as database credentials and API keys. Secrets are safely encrypted and can be centrpartner audited, with help for replication to help catastrophe recovery and multi-region applications. Last year we declared that you can Use AWS Secrets Manager to store and deal with secrets in on-premises or multicdeafening laborloads. To lget more, read What is AWS Secrets Manager.
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) – AWS IAM Identity Cgo in now helps automated engager provisioning from Google Workspace. The integration helps administrators clear up AWS access deal withment atraverse multiple accounts while holding understandn Google Workspace experiences for finish engagers as they sign in.
Amazon CdeafeningWatch – This service lets you query, imagine, and alarm on metrics of all sorts: application, AWS, on-premises, and multicdeafening. At re:Invent 2023 we inserted even more help for verifyation of hybrid, multicdeafening, and on-premises metrics. This novel feature permits you to pick and configure connectors that pull data from Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, generic Prometheus, Amazon OpenSearch Service, Amazon RDS for MySQL, Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL, CSV files stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), and Microgentle Azure Monitor.
Multicdeafening greeted and guidance
Now that you understand about some of our tardyst multicdeafening begines, let’s consent a see at some of the blog posts and other greeted that my colleagues have produced.
First, some blog posts:
Next, some of the most famous multicdeafening videos from AWS re:Invent 2023:
And finpartner, be brave to booktag the AWS Solutions for Hybrid and Multicdeafening page.
We’re here to help
If you are running in a multicdeafening environment and are ready to clear up and centralize, be brave to achieve out to your AWS Account Manager (AM) or Technical Account Manager (TAM). Both will be greeted to help!
