AWS subscribers can now associate their corporate domain name with their Chime account, making it easier for organizations to give employees access to the cloud-based UC service.
The biggest barrier to deploying virtual desktops has always been the infrastructure costs. Luckily, AWS offers a solution for those who want to use virtual desktops but don't have the budget for it.
Left unchecked, the spread of uncategorized AWS accounts in a company can turn into a policy nightmare. Here's how to establish some oversight using service control policies.
The new AWS Organizations feature lets IT wrangle multiple AWS accounts into a single, centralized structure. Here's a step-by-step guide.
Need to scale up your Amazon cloud storage on the fly? Brien shows you how to expand your EBS storage while it is actively being used -- and without risking any downtime.
Now that you've downloaded and resized the Azure virtual hard disk, here comes the slightly more complicated part: actually prepping the virtual hard disk for the Amazon Web Services cloud.
Just because it's possible to move a virtual machine from Microsoft's cloud to Amazon's, doesn't mean it's easy. In the first installment of this two-part series, Brien identifies what you need to start the process.
For many organizations, switching from on-demand instances to reserved instances can significantly cut back on costs, make cloud workloads more efficient and -- most importantly -- prevent any surprise charges from appearing on their bill.
There are plenty of tools that can monitor the health of resources located in your own datacenter, but many of them don't work for monitoring resources in the public cloud. Thankfully, AWS provides a suite of health-check tools called Route 53.
While EC2 is designed to run instances within the Amazon Web Services cloud, you can also use the EC2 console to manage instances running within your own datacenter. Brien shows you how.
Here's how to use the Amazon Inspector tool to check the health of your AWS instances from within.
Now that you know the limits of what you can and can't do with VPC peering, here's how to actually set it up in AWS.
VPC peering can be useful for linking resources that would otherwise be isolated from one another. But before you set it up in AWS, it's important to know the ground rules.
Here's a quick rundown of what a VPC security group is, what it does, and some of the rules you'll need to keep in mind when creating and working with them in AWS.
Working in an AWS environment doesn't mean that developers have to give up the tools they use daily. For Visual Studio developers, AWS offers a solution to help them deploy services on its cloud.
VPCs are relatively easy to set up in AWS, although they usually require a significant degree of configuration afterward. Brien walks you through the steps.
The proliferation of mobile devices and platforms has complicated the testing process in recent years. Fortunately, the AWS Device Farm lets admins and developers run tests against a variety of device types.
Logging in to a Linux instance is significantly different from logging in to a Windows instance. Brien walks you through the steps using the PuTTY utility.
Amazon Web Services allows admins to create logical groupings of AWS resources, and manage them using tags and tag values. Here's how to get started.
The AWS cloud is more than a platform for hosting VM instances, allocating cloud storage and other IaaS-related tasks. As Brien shows, it can also be used as a platform for hosting Web applications.
