Mitigating DDoS Attacks on AWS with Security Specialty Certification Knowledge

AWS Shield is a DDoS protection service that is focused on mitigating the negative effects of distributed denial-of-service (DoS) attacks by automatically detecting and responding to such attacks.
Amazon Shield Standard protects against all known layer 4 DDoS attacks and it integrates seamlessly into the entire AWS environment. Additionally, it offers static threshold DDoS protection and inline attack mitigation capabilities
AWS Shield Advanced includes a support team, AWS Wireless Application Firewall (WAF), and AWS Firewall Manager. It offers advanced DDoS detection and mitigation techniques and integrates with AWS WAF to provide an additional layer of DDoS protection
To mitigate DDoS attacks, an organization can implement a resilient DDoS-resistant architecture using edge location DDoS mitigation. AWS provides Amazon CloudFront, Amazon Global Accelerator, and Route 53 for this purpose
Best security practices such as reducing the attack surface area, implementing rate-limiting rules, and enforcing bot control, play a key role in DDoS protection
Regularly updated patching systems, encrypting data, employing robust authentication and authorization mechanisms, and having an incident response plan in place are crucial for safeguarding cloud resources against DDoS attacks
Organizations should run a simulated DDoS attack in production traffic and/or conduct a synthetic simulated DDoS attack with the AWS Shield Response Team to ensure they are well prepared to respond effectively in real-world DDoS attack situations
The AWS Certified Security Specialty certification is helpful in equipping professionals with the necessary knowledge and skills to proactively protect their cloud environments from DDoS attacks.

Cloud-Native Network Functions (CNF) — Replacing Traditional Network Appliances in 5G

Cloud-Native Network Functions (CNFs) are network services built and deployed using cloud-native principles.
CNFs run on standard cloud infrastructure and are designed to take advantage of containerization, microservices, and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
CNFs offer a level of flexibility, agility, and efficiency unmatched by traditional network functions.
5G networks demand greater flexibility, scalability, and efficiency to handle the massive increase in data traffic, ultra-low latency requirements, and support for diverse use cases like IoT, autonomous vehicles, and smart cities.
CNFs enable dynamic network slicing by providing the flexibility and agility needed to create and manage these slices efficiently.
With 5G, edge computing becomes increasingly important for reducing latency and processing data closer to the source.
CNFs are built on a microservices architecture, breaking down monolithic network functions into smaller, independent services.
Migrating from traditional network appliances or VNFs to CNFs is not a simple process, and it requires redesigning network architecture and adopting new tools and processes.
Many telecom operators still rely on legacy systems that were not designed with cloud-native principles in mind.
As the telecom industry moves forward, Cloud-Native Network Functions will play a critical role in shaping the future of 5G and beyond.

How Can Companies Use Hybrid Cloud?

Hybrid cloud allows to run applications across multiple environments by combining public clouds and private clouds, tailoring setups based on specific business needs.
Hybrid cloud is useful in disaster recovery where primary systems and data are kept in private cloud and backups in public cloud environment. In case of a disaster, activities can be smoothly transitioned from public cloud to private cloud.
Companies can use hybrid cloud environment for developing, testing, and delivering software, with no need to purchase and maintain on-site hardware.
Cloud Bursting is done by the e-commerce platform using a private cloud during regular operations and offloads excess traffic to a public cloud during peak season traffic, saving cost on having additional private infrastructure.
Hybrid CDN (Content Delivery Network) networks securely store content management systems and deliver content (like photos, movies, and web pages) fast and effectively to customers.
Companies can move applications to the cloud using a hybrid cloud environment at a pace that suits their business needs.
Leading companies like Netflix, Adobe, Coca-Cola, and Toyota are using a hybrid cloud strategy to streamline their processes and support their operations.
Netflix relies mostly on Amazon Web Services (AWS) for its storage and computing needs and even built a studio using AWS for virtual collaboration.
Adobe uses a hybrid cloud strategy for content creation and storage, advertising and marketing, and data management and analytics.
Coca-Cola backs up its critical data in a hybrid cloud environment and uses hybrid cloud for supply chain management.

Cloud Or On-premises? Why Not Both: A Hybrid Approach For Structure Simulation

More engineering teams are accessing high-performance computing (HPC) resources on the cloud to resolve urgent workloads. Ansys Gateway powered by AWS enables a hybrid approach that combines internal computing capacity and cloud resources only when required. Engineers and other product development stakeholders need to change some aspects of the practices and workflows they’ve become accustomed to. The Ansys white paper compares the cost and time required to solve a simulation problem with Ansys’ proprietary cloud platform to typical internal HPC clusters. Ansys experts changed the HPC configurations to analyze the effects of those alterations to obtain the “optimal” HPC configuration and delivery model for a given organization. Turntide Technologies and Emirates Team New Zealand are Ansys customers that have enjoyed a huge improvement in speed by using Ansys Gateway powered by AWS software.
This plug-and-play cloud platform is an HPC resource that can be turned on or off as your computing needs change, without the need to pay a fixed licensing fee. Ansys has seen firsthand the hurdles that engineers must overcome to accelerate their solution times via cloud resources. Many Ansys customers are already leveraging the benefits of a hybrid, flexible approach, supplementing their internal HPC resources by running their workloads in the cloud. Companies that use a tool such as Ansys Gateway powered by AWS software minimize the effort required to familiarize engineers with running simulation on AWS. Ansys can help by looking at the unique characteristics of your computing patterns and can help identify the best solution for your needs.
The Ansys cloud platform enables you to access advanced software and hardware on demand. With no queues, there are no wait times. Users can quickly run simulations to combat critical project milestones. Additionally, companies can avoid the upfront investments, in-house IT staffing, and long-term maintenance costs associated with on-premises HPC clusters. Ansys is invested in optimizing your company’s simulation outcomes no matter what approach is needed.
