Manage Amazon Aurora Databases with AppStream 2.0 Elastic Fleet

As customers transition from commercial databases to open-source databases on Amazon Web Services like Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL and Amazon Aurora MySQL, they need to practice best practices and configure their databases to run in a private subnet within a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). Database administrators (DBAs) are then able to log in to a secure Windows or Linux streaming instance to access their databases and manage these databases.

Using AppStream 2.0

AppStream 2.0 is a secure application streaming service that provides customers with the ability to quickly scale their databases to support large workloads. Customers can use AppStream 2.0 to stream applications to their databases, allowing access from any device, including mobile and web. AppStream 2.0 also provides customers with the ability to create and manage an Elastic Fleet, a collection of application streaming instances that are deployed to multiple Availability Zones for high availability and scalability.

Creating an Elastic Fleet

To create an Elastic Fleet, customers first need to create an AppStream 2.0 stack, which is a collection of streaming instances that can be used to stream applications to their databases. Once a stack has been created, customers can then use the AppStream 2.0 console to create an Elastic Fleet. The Elastic Fleet will then be configured to deploy multiple streaming instances across multiple Availability Zones for high availability and scalability.

Advantages of Using AppStream 2.0

Using AppStream 2.0 provides customers with several advantages. Customers can scale their databases quickly and securely, allowing them to access their databases from any device. AppStream 2.0 also provides customers with the ability to create and manage an Elastic Fleet, a collection of streaming instances that are deployed to multiple Availability Zones for high availability and scalability.

Automating Code Review with AWS DevOps Guru, CodeCommit, and CodeBuild

A critical part of the software development process is the pull request. This is where proposed code changes are reviewed by relevant parties before they are merged into the main codebase. AWS DevOps Guru is a fully managed AIOps service that can help with the process. Using machine learning (ML), it quickly identifies when applications are behaving outside of their normal operating patterns and generates insights from its findings. These insights can be used to alert on-call teams to react to anomalies for business-critical workloads.

Running GitHub Actions in a Private Subnet with AWS CodeBuild

AWS CodeBuild is a fully managed continuous integration service, and it now supports GitHub Actions. CodeBuild builds are defined as a collection of build commands and related settings, in YAML format, called a BuildSpec. GitHub Actions can be set up and run in a private subnet, so you don’t need to worry about security. Plus, with CodeBuild, you can define Actions based on a variety of triggers, like pull requests, commits, and branch pushes.

Automated Code Review on Pull Requests using AWS CodeCommit and AWS CodeBuild

Pull Requests need to be reviewed, and with AWS CodeCommit and AWS CodeBuild, code review can be automated. CodeCommit is a fully-managed source control service that makes it easy to collaborate on code. CodeBuild can be used to build and test code and set up automated code reviews on pull requests. This way, you can ensure that your code is reviewed before it is merged into the main codebase.
