The Broken TGW Attachment That Taught Us Everything About Route Table Ownership

A cloud engineer encountered a strange issue with a Transit Gateway (TGW) VPC attachment in a pendingAcceptance state without an 'Accept' button or approval process.
The engineer discovered that the TGW route table linked to the attachment was deleted but still referenced, leading to a cross-account TGW mystery.
After conducting CLI detective work, it was revealed that the issue stemmed from a deleted route table in a centralized network account, leaving dangling references in the spoke (development) account.
To address the problem and make troubleshooting easier for similar scenarios, a guided shell script named tgw_check.sh was developed to help navigate and resolve issues related to TGW ownership and route table management.

Password Trends for 2025 and Beyond

Biometric authentication, such as face or fingerprint recognition, is becoming more prevalent as it is difficult to replicate and provides a convenient way to access accounts.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring additional verification methods like a code sent to your phone, fingerprint scan, or hardware key.
Passwordless login options are emerging, utilizing methods like magic links, push notifications, or secure keys, eliminating the need to remember complex passwords and enhancing security.
Continuous authentication, which monitors user behavior throughout a session, offers ongoing security checks based on factors like location, device, and habits to ensure account safety.

EBS Snapshots vs AMIs — What’s the Difference and When to Use Them?

EBS Snapshots are point-in-time images of EBS volumes, only saving volume data, not instance settings or OS details.
Snapshots are cost-efficient as they are incremental, making them useful for backing up important data like database volumes.
AMIs are full copies of EC2 instances, including the OS, volumes, apps, and settings, useful for recreating or scaling entire instances.
Volumes restored from snapshots can be slow initially, but enabling Fast Snapshot Restore pre-warms the data for faster performance at an extra cost.

Backup your OpenSearch indices with manual snapshots

Taking OpenSearch snapshots is essential to backup and restore data in case of indices deletion, destruction, or corruption in OpenSearch clusters.
To manually take snapshots, one needs admin access to the OpenSearch service API and must create a role allowing the service to write snapshots to an S3 bucket.
Creating a snapshot repository using an S3 bucket, checking for ongoing snapshots, and then taking a snapshot are crucial steps in the backup process.
After taking a snapshot, verifying its progress, restoring data indexes, and managing snapshots through AWS IAM permissions are recommended practices for data protection.

From EC2 to EKS: How Application Deployment Has Evolved on AWS

Managing application deployments on AWS has evolved from using EC2 to EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service).
In the scenario of deploying a website starting with a single EC2 instance and later managing multiple EC2 instances manually for different parts of the application, the process becomes cumbersome and inefficient.
Transitioning to EKS involves launching a Kubernetes cluster that automates the management of resources on EC2 instances, treating the infrastructure as a unified entity.
EKS with Kubernetes simplifies deployment by packaging services as Docker containers, allowing Kubernetes to efficiently allocate resources, handle failures, and enable automatic scaling.

AI could soon speak dog and cat

Chinese tech giant Baidu has filed a patent for a system that aims to interpret vocal sounds, behavior, and physiological signals of animals through AI analysis.
The system is designed to enable cross-species communication and provide insights into the emotional state of pets rather than engage in full-fledged conversations.
Although the technology is still in the research stage, there have been previous attempts to translate animal noises, like using soundboards for dogs to express simple requests.
With AI technology progressing quickly, there is hope that innovations like Baidu's system could lead to a better understanding of animal communication.
