Automate DNS Records Creation With ExternalDNS on AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service

ExternalDNS is a handy tool in the Kubernetes world, making it easy to coordinate Services and Ingresses with different DNS providers. This tool automates the process, allowing users to manage DNS records dynamically using Kubernetes resources. Instead of being tied to a specific provider, ExternalDNS works seamlessly with various providers. ExternalDNS intelligently determines the desired DNS records, paving the way for effortless DNS management.

In this article, we'll explore what ExternalDNS is all about and why it's useful. Focusing on a specific situation — imagine a Kubernetes cluster getting updated and using Route 53 in AWS — we'll walk you through how ExternalDNS can automatically create DNS records in Route 53 whenever Ingresses are added. Come along for a simplified journey into DNS management and automation with ExternalDNS.

Design and Create VPC in AWS

This article describes the design and creation of Amazon Virtual Private Network (VPC) using the VPC Designer tool and Cloud Formation templates. It also provides details of VPC Components such as Subnets, Route tables, Security Groups, Internet Gateway, NAT Gateway, VPC endpoints, Network Interfaces,  Network Access Control Lists (ACLs), and VPC Peering

Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) enables you to create your own dedicated, logically isolated virtual private network in your AWS account. This virtual network closely resembles a traditional network that you operate in your own data center (on-premises).  It provides the ability to define and have full control over the virtual network environment, including security, connectivity, and resource deployment. VPC spans multiple availability zones in an AWS Region. 

Automate Amazon Aurora Global Database Using CloudFormation

This article describes steps to automate AWS Aurora Global Database services using Cloud Formation, Lambda, and State Function. It also provides detailed steps to create a Global Database with sample code snippets.  Some of the features detailed in the article are: 

  • Overview of Aurora Global Database
  • Prerequisites 
  • Creating an RDS Global Database 
  • Failover 
  • Conclusion

Overview

Amazon Aurora Global Database is designed for globally distributed cloud applications in AWS. It provides high availability and database resiliency by way of its ability to fail over to another AWS region. It allows a database to span multiple regions (AWS limits regions to a maximum of six), and it consists of one primary and up to five secondary regions in a global database cluster. Primary region can perform read and write operations, whereas the second region can perform read operations only. The way AWS facilitates this feature is by activating writer endpoints in the primary region and deactivating writer endpoints in secondary regions. Furthermore, Aurora replicates data from primary region to secondary regions, usually under a second.
