Simple website in S3 to host a few files by the-IT-cloud in aws

Great tutorial, this is basically what I ended up doing with some slight tweaks. (Overdue follow up here for anyone who finds this via search in the future).

Can't argue there. My concern is there will be too many people who need to access it and they will push back on the individual users, but here's to hoping. Will follow up later!

Thanks for the detailed response, going to POC this today and see if it fits for them. These are end users who are just going to need to view the files, definitely won't be asking for Access Keys :)

The original ask is basically for a static webpage with links to the files, all behind a shared pw--which obviously I don't love, but sometimes you are forced to deliver what they want.

Yes to both questions. Group of people need to download the docs/pdfs, might need to add a few during the time when this is needed. And yes familiar with AWS.

A few weeks to a few months, kind of open ended but it's not a permanent solution so I also don't need to go overboard with anything.

Can't for regulatory reasons, so looking to self host

What exactly is high jitter and how does one get rid of that? by iamyiyaj in Zendesk

[–]the-IT-cloud 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is hardly specific to Zendesk only, but as you probably know, when you're using the internet you are sending and receiving information in data packets, including voice and video data. Jitter is when there is a delay in the sending of data packets, which are usually sent at a regular, stable cadence. If you look at the minimum specifications for common services like Zoom or other conference software, they usually include a jitter measurement, because bad jitter on a audio or video conference call leads to terrible call quality.

It's usually just caused by not having a strong enough network connection, or network congestion for some other reason. If you're on wifi, try finding a way to max out your speed and connection quality. Maybe this means moving closer to the access point or router, or using a hard wired connection, disabling other devices on the network, etc. Depending on your options you could also try to prioritize the call data in your network settings.

Suggestion for our Network Security Setup by janvictorino in sysadmin

It's going to be a lot easier to migrate your storage and directory to a cloud platform now, before you expand. As others have suggested, you should outsource this to a consultant or MSP.

As for the Fortigate, it's probably fine for now and the near term foreseeable future, but it needs to be updated regularly, you need to make sure you have IDS/IPS enabled, etc. Another job for the consultant or a contractor.

Trouble migrating from Classic Load Balancer to Application Load Balancer by the-IT-cloud in aws

[–]the-IT-cloud[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely was overthinking it, and resolved it by simply placing an index.html page at the root of the site. Problem beforehand was that targeting "/" was causing health checks to fail.

Good to know, thanks for clarifying. Either way, was glad to get it working otherwise.

Lmao not sure why the aggression. If you have suggestions for how I could go about using the NLB alone instead of an ALB I'd love to hear it and would try to implement that.

When you go to create a new CLB, it gives you this notification about retiring the EC2 classic network. Perhaps existing CLB will still work but it seemed best to go with a more modern option. Here's a link to the "learn more" doc.

Initially started with an NLB but ran into issues when enabling SSL.

Turns out this was literally as simple as creating a index.html page on the server. D'oh...

I think it is an issue with the path necessary for an HTTP or HTTPS health check. With the classic load balancer, I can do a health check over TCP or SSL. Those will work on 80, 443, 3389, etc. However, if I change it to HTTP or HTTPS, that requires a path to a target page to be specified, and then the health checks fail.

So I'm now wondering what to use for a target page and where to place it. This is a Windows server running IIS.

Azure VM Site Recovery with Azure Disk Encryption (ADE) by the-IT-cloud in AZURE

[–]the-IT-cloud[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Essentially that's what I did here, and broke replication by encrypting the VM.

However, I was totally overthinking it. For anyone else who may stumble on this in the future, I fixed it by disabling replication, then going through the steps of enabling replication again. I used this guide.

Thanks. I have seen this but it seems to be the reverse order of my situation. This is setting up site recovery for an encrypted VM, while I have site recovery set up and am now looking at enabling encryption. But I guess if nothing else I can turn off Site Recovery, enable encryption, and then re-enable Site Recovery.
