Instead, admins can create accounts for users that only have the access they need to perform their tasks – and no more (a principle known as least privilege). These accounts are known as sudo users.
I will set up a Linux server running on AWS EC2. Basic and necessary information will be set up to build an application running environment on Docker.
Docker is great for running your application in various locations in a consistent way: recall the problematic yet common developer adage “It works on my machine!”. What if I’m trying to test something locally that needs to communicate with AWS and I need to authenticate/authorize my way in. This article is my research journal entry on that topic.
Here are a couple of ways you can reduce or eliminate the number of Public IPv4s in your AWS environment.
This document provides information on public IPv4 address usage in AWS and how to estimate associated costs. This document emphasizes the advantages of using Amazon VPC IPAM Public IP Insights to monitor and manage public IPv4 usage. It also provides guidance on how to optimize costs related to public IPv4 charges.
