Die AWS re:Invent 2022 ist gerade zu Ende gegangen, und ich bin endlich wieder in Australien angekommen, wo uns – hoffentlich – ein schneefreier, heißer Weihnachtstag erwartet.
On the long flight(s) home I was able to reflect on the 119 new services and features that were announced as part of AWS re: Invent 2022 from Nov 28 – Dec 2nd, and the myriad of new capabilities we announced in our latest innovation release, dem Commvault Platform Release 2023(released Dec 15th, 2022).
I know I felt like a kid in a candy store trying to decide what I’m going to try first when I return to the office in 2023.
Ich habe auf der re:Invent vier zentrale Themen beobachtet, die die Grundlage für die verantwortungsvolle Entwicklung sicherer und nachhaltiger Cloud-nativer Anwendungen bilden. Entwickler müssen die Sicherheit von Daten während der Übertragung und im Ruhezustand, eine verantwortungsvolle Skalierung sowie Cloud-Betriebsabläufe berücksichtigen, die auf geplante und ungeplante Ereignisse reagieren:
Securing the cloud, which continues to be Job Zero for both AWS and builders alike as we strive to build more data-driven applications, that are more accessible than ever before. Some notable releases that will positively impact AWS and Commvault customers looking to protect their AWS resources were:
- Wir stellen die Funktion „Delegierter Administrator“ für AWS Organizations vor, mit der Unternehmen die Verwaltung von Organisationsrichtlinien delegieren können. Dies ermöglicht eine optimierte Verwaltung der IAM-Richtlinien, Service-Control-Richtlinien und Tagging-Richtlinien, die einen skalierbaren Schutz Ihrer Rechen-, Container-, Datenbank- und Speicherressourcen in Ihren Landing Zones mit mehreren Konten gewährleisten.
Commvault agrees with delegated security controls and can enforce multi-person authorization for sensitive data actions like deletions or restoration of data. See Authorization by Tenant Administrators for Business Logic Workflowsum sicherzustellen, dass Sie den Schutz Ihrer Daten an mehr als eine Person delegieren. - Advanced Notice: Amazon S3 will automatically enable S3 Block Public Access and disable access control lists for all new buckets starting in April 2023 which, just makes sense. Accidental publishing of sensitive content in public-access enabled S3 buckets has long been at the top of the list of ‘things to not do in AWS’. Tip: Don’t forget to check your backups and backup copies to ensure you have enabled encryption as well.
Commvault hopes your business stays malware-free, but hope is never a plan. Commvault now scans your backup content for malware to allow recovery from known clean backup data. Ensure recovery is always part of your threat analysis and response plan. - AWS Resource Access Manager is now available in the AWS Europe (Zurich) Region,AsiaPacific (Hyderabad),andEurope (Spain)making it easier to securely share resources across AWS accounts,within and across organizational units (OUs).
Stay tuned to Commvault What’s New announcements for updates on new regional supportability. Commvault supports most AWS Regions and all AWS Local Zones today. Commvault announced Amazon VPC Protection in Commvault Platform Release 2023 to ensure your network configurations are protected and recoverable as you expand into and across the 30 Regions available today.
Scaling Cloud Operations was a recurring theme for almost all service and feature releases. As businesses expand in AWS service adoption and consumption, they need to be able to scale or automate their cloud operations. Some notable enhancements to help achieve cost-optimized operations were:
- AWS kündigt „Systems Manager Quick Setup“ für den Resource Scheduler an, wodurch die Einrichtung des zeitgesteuerten Ein- und Ausschaltens von Ressourcen sowie die Kapazitätsoptimierung zur Kosteneinsparung vereinfacht wird.
Commvault automates the power management of MediaAgents by powering Amazon EC2 data management resources on and off as backup and recovery activities occur. This approach saves runtime costs but migrates resource optimization to an event-driven scalable approach. You can automate resource power management. backup, and recovery operations with Commvault too, just grab an access token to access the Commvault service endpoint and start automating today. - Amazon CloudWatch führt eine kontoübergreifende Überwachbarkeit über mehrere AWS-Konten hinweg einund unterstützt Sie bei der Überwachung und Fehlerbehebung von Anwendungen, die sich über mehrere Konten erstrecken. Dies ist oft von entscheidender Bedeutung für Ihr Datenmanagementsystem, wie beispielsweise Commvault, bei dem sich Ihre geschützten Workloads und Datenmanagement-Workloads in verschiedenen Konten befinden.
Commvault recommends using AWS resource tags on all your AWS resources to improve visibility, cost transparency, and support automation efforts. Commvault ensures tags are restored on all created resources and allows the setting of tags during recovery to align with your observability, cost management, and security needs. - Amazon FSx für NetApp ONTAP kündigt vier neue benutzerfreundliche Features an added more usability enhancements to the fully managed shared storage service built on NetApp’s popular ONTAP file system. Customers looking to expand into AWS, lift-and-shift applications with high-IOPS storage needs, or reuse on-prem storage management processes in AWS – can now adopt Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP.
Commvault announced IntelliSnap® snapshot management for Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP in Commvault Platform Release 2023. Customers can orchestrate application-aware snapshots and service-independent streamed backup copies of Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP SMB shares, NFS exports, and iSCSI volumes. Snapshot-based backups can be replicated using NetApp SnapVault and SnapMirror between Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP file systems or between on-prem and the AWS Cloud.
Expanding to new Regions and Zones was a common theme across 2022 with AWS expanding availability into three new regions – Europe (Zurich) eu-central-2, Europa (Spanien) eu-south-2 und Asien-Pazifik (Hyderabad) ap-south-2 and up to a total of 281 AWS Local Zones. AWS services and resources are now even more available to begin your 2023 migration projects.
Commvault makes migration simpler, more secure, and faster by converting and replicating UEFI-based VMs to Amazon EC2, including the programmatic modification of on-prem Linux hosts to automatically inject required Amazon EC2 nitro OS drivers. Get started today with a one-time conversion or set up periodic replication and cut-over to running in AWS when required.
New toys for builders is what re: Invent is all about, and 2022 was no exception.
- Amazon RDS Optimized Reads ist nun verfügbar und ermöglicht bis zu 50 % schnellere Abfragen auf Amazon RDS für MySQL offers up to 50% faster query processing compared to previous generations. Depending on the data protection scheme employed, this performance may deliver significant performance to data management activities that share processing resources on Amazon RDS instances, more in the future when our lab testing completes…
- Die Einführung von Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) Express für Amazon EC2-Instanzen delivers enhanced networking performance via the introduction of the Scalable Reliable Datagram (SRD) protocol. Higher single flow bandwidth and lower latency between EC2 instances could deliver significant backup and recovery performance, more when we emerge from the Commvault labs…
- AWS announces Amazon VPC Lattice (Preview) is an application layer networking service that simplifies the connection, securing and monitoring of service-to-service communication. As monolithic applications become more and more decomposed, and more and more decoupled – Amazon VPC Lattice becomes crucial. Commvault will watch this service closely with potential applications to our Amazon EKS and Amazon VPC protection portfolio.
Commvault ist sehr gespannt darauf, welche Auswirkungen einige dieser Leistungsverbesserungen auf die Datensicherung, die Replikation und die Recovery haben werden.
Sie können noch heute loslegen, indem Sie die Commvault Platform Release 2023 aus demCommvault Software Store, or if you want don’t want to setup and configure a data protection system – sign up for a kostenlose 30-tägige Metallic-Testversionan und beginnen Sie noch heute mit dem Schutz Ihrer AWS-Ressourcen.
Have a happy holiday and rest up, as all the work you did to be Recovery Ready with Commvault and Metallic in 2022 will pay off during the holiday break…
