Migrate Azure to AWS using Application Migration Service

Cloud migration is the strategic process of moving an organization’s digital assets, including data, applications, and services, from on-premises infrastructure to cloud-based platforms.

This transition unlocks scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency by harnessing the resources and services offered by cloud providers.

Successful migration entails meticulous planning, seamless data transfer, meticulous application reconfiguration, and post-migration optimization. These steps collectively ensure a smooth transition, bolstering technological agility and enhancing overall operational efficiency.

In this blog post let us learn about migration process in detail:

Istio Circuit Breaker – When Failure is a Better Option

What is a Circuit Breaker?

We often hear that electronic devices may cease to function due to a circuit break. Essentially, a circuit breaker is an electronic switch designed to safeguard an electronic circuit from damage caused by overcurrent, overload, or short circuit. Its primary function is to interrupt the flow of current after detecting a fault through protective measures.

What is a Circuit Breaker in Microservices Architecture?

As we discussed, the concept of a circuit breaker in terms of electronic devices. Similarly, we need to implement a circuit breaker in microservices architecture. The question arises: why do we need a circuit breaker in microservices architecture and how can we implement it? Let’s illustrate with an example.

In the above diagram, we can observe several microservices and their dependencies on each other. Service A depends on service B, and service B depends on services F and E. Service F relies on a third-party application over which we have no control.

Simplifying Site-to-Site VPN Connectivity with StrongSwan 

Introduction

As a new member of the team, I was tasked for establishing site-to-site VPN connectivity using a third-party tool. After exploring numerous blogs in search of the perfect solution, I stumbled upon StrongSwan. Excited to put it to the test, I followed the provided guides carefully. However, upon implementation, I encountered a frustrating roadblock: while the tunnel was successfully created, communication between the virtual networks remained elusive.

This blog aims to tackle that very challenge head-on. I’ll be sharing a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to achieve seamless site-to-site VPN connectivity between two cloud environments. Guess, what’s the best part? The same principles can be effortlessly applied to on-premise infrastructure setups as well.

But, what if your cloud provider doesn’t offer managed services for site-to-site VPN connectivity? Or if the process for establishing site-to-site VPN connectivity using managed services requires different configurations and setup steps? Don’t worry, we’ll address those scenarios too.
