Key Takeaways

• Amazon Athena: Athena is a serverless analytics service used to query data in Amazon S3 using SQL. It's ideal for simple, on-demand queries.
• AWS Organizations: To restrict S3 bucket access to accounts within an AWS organization, set a global condition of aws:PrincipalOrgID equal to the organization ID.
• Gateway VPC Endpoint: To privately access an S3 bucket from an EC2 instance in a VPC without internet connectivity, use a Gateway VPC endpoint.
• Amazon EFS: For multiple EC2 instances needing shared data, use Amazon EFS (Elastic File System) instead of separate EBS volumes to avoid data inconsistencies.
• AWS Snowball Edge: For migrating large amounts of on-premise data (70 TB in this example) to S3 efficiently, use AWS Snowball Edge to minimize network bandwidth usage.
• AWS Secrets Manager: For managing and rotating credentials (like database passwords) securely and efficiently, use AWS Secrets Manager.
• Amazon SQS: For decoupling microservices and handling unpredictable message volumes, use Amazon SQS (Simple Queue Service).
• AWS CloudFront: To improve performance and reduce latency for static and dynamic data in a web application, use CloudFront, a Content Delivery Network (CDN), with S3 for static content and an Application Load Balancer (ALB) for dynamic content.
• Amazon Aurora: For automatically scaling a MySQL database to handle unpredictable read workloads while maintaining high availability, use Amazon Aurora.
