🚀 Day 8/100: AWS Cloud Journey on KodeCloud Completed! Today’s focus: Enable Stop Protection for an EC2 instance. Small feature. Big real-world impact. In cloud environments, accidental stops can disrupt applications, break availability, and create unnecessary downtime. Enabling Stop Protection on an EC2 instance adds an extra layer of safety by preventing critical instances from being stopped unintentionally. What I practiced today: ✅ Enabling EC2 Stop Protection ✅ Understanding accidental stop prevention ✅ Protecting critical workloads ✅ Strengthening AWS operational best practices ✅ Building real-world cloud administration confidence This challenge is helping me move beyond theory and practice the kind of AWS tasks cloud engineers handle in production environments. Day by day. Service by service. Skill by skill. Day 8 done. 92 more to go. 💪☁️ #AWS #CloudComputing #KodeCloud #100DaysOfCloud #AWSCloud #EC2 #CloudEngineer #DevOps #LearningInPublic #CloudJourney #AWSCommunity

AWS Lambda vs EC2 vs ECS When working in Amazon Web Services, choosing between AWS Lambda, Amazon EC2, and Amazon ECS depends on the needs of the business. Each service has a different purpose. 🔹 AWS Lambda – Good for small tasks that run only when needed. It helps save time and cost because there are no servers to manage. 🔹 Amazon EC2 – Good for applications that need full control of the server and steady performance. Often used for larger or older systems. 🔹 Amazon ECS – Good for running applications in containers and making updates easier as systems grow. My Approach: ✔ Review business and system needs ✔ Choose the best service based on cost, speed, and reliability ✔ Improve security and system uptime ✔ Help move older systems to modern cloud services ✔ Automate setup using Terraform and AWS CloudFormation ✔ Support smooth and safe deployments Bottom Line: Success in the cloud comes from choosing the right tool for the right job. Lambda works well for simple tasks, EC2 gives more control, and ECS helps manage growing applications. #AWS #CloudComputing #AWSLambda #EC2 #ECS #DevOps #CloudEngineer #Technology #CloudServices

Automating Google Cloud with Terraform ☁️🛠️ Just completed a hands-on project using Terraform to manage Google Cloud infrastructure! 🎯 Highlights: 🤖 Automated VM provisioning using HCL. 🔄 Managed resource lifecycles (plan/apply/destroy). 📈 Scaled machine types and updated network tags via code. ✅ Resolved configuration conflicts using allow_stopping_for_update. Mastering IaC is key to building consistent, scalable cloud environments. 🏗️✨ #Terraform #GCP #DevOps #IaC #CloudAutomation #CloudComputing

🚨 Too many resources in your EC2 console? Not all of them are actually yours to manage. If you’ve worked with services like EKS, ECS, Lambda, or WorkSpaces, you’ve probably seen EC2 instances, volumes, or ENIs that you didn’t directly create — yet they still showed up in your console. AWS has now fixed this confusion. Amazon EC2 introduces Managed Resource Visibility Settings. With this update, you can control whether AWS-managed resources appear in your EC2 console and API responses. Here’s what changed: 🔹 Resources managed by AWS services are now hidden by default 🔹 Only self-managed EC2 resources are visible by default 🔹 You can customize visibility via console or CLI 🔹 Applies to resources like EBS volumes, snapshots, and network interfaces 🔎 Why this matters In real-world environments, especially with microservices and managed services, your EC2 console can get cluttered with resources you don’t directly control. This update: • Reduces noise in your console • Improves operational clarity • Aligns better with the shared responsibility model • Helps teams focus only on what they actually manage A simple change — but a big win for clarity, control, and better cloud operations. 🚀 #AWS #EC2 #CloudComputing #CloudArchitecture #AWSCloud #DevOps #AWSCommunity #CloudEngineering #AWSBuilders #CloudOperations

🌐 Understanding AWS Route 53 Hosted Zones (Simplified) Ever wondered how your domain connects to your application? 👉 That’s where Hosted Zones in AWS Route 53 come in. A Hosted Zone is like a container for DNS records of your domain. It tells the internet where your application lives. 🔹 Public Hosted Zone – Routes traffic from the internet (used for websites, APIs, etc.) 🔹 Private Hosted Zone – Used inside a VPC (for internal services communication) 💡 Key benefits: ✔ Highly available and scalable ✔ Easy domain routing with DNS records (A, CNAME, MX, etc.) ✔ Supports routing policies (Latency, Weighted, Failover) 🚀 In simple terms: Hosted Zone = DNS control panel for your domain in AWS If you're working in DevOps or Cloud, mastering Route 53 is a must! #AWS #Route53 #DevOps #CloudComputing #DNS #Learning

Post #6 | Day 11 of my Cloud & DevOps journey I was just exploring the EC2 section and I realized I was ignoring something important — instance types and families. Till now, I was just selecting t2.micro and moving forward without thinking much. But now I understood that instance selection actually matters. There are different EC2 families: General purpose → balanced usage Compute optimized → CPU-heavy tasks Memory optimized → large data processing Storage optimized → high disk usage What clicked: Not every application needs the same type of machine. If we choose the wrong instance: performance can suffer cost can increase So choosing instance type is not random, it’s a decision based on workload. Still exploring this more, but now I won’t ignore it. Documenting everything here: https://lnkd.in/dkBZHr9M #DevOps #AWS #EC2 #CloudComputing #LearningInPublic #100DaysOfCode

AWS introduced a way to centrally manage EC2 detailed monitoring via Amazon CloudWatch at the AWS Organization level. Instead of enabling monitoring instance by instance, teams can now define rules that automatically apply to both new and existing resources — with 1-minute metric granularity. In practice, this means: 🔹 consistent monitoring approach across environments 🔹 control through tags and account structure instead of manual actions 🔹 faster detection of workload changes 🔹 fewer blind spots in infrastructure visibility The result is less operational overhead and more predictable system behavior at scale. #AWS #CloudWatch #EC2 #Cloud #DevOps #CloudInfrastructure

🚀 Just uploaded a new video on AWS EFS! If you're learning AWS or DevOps, understanding EFS (Elastic File System) is very important. In this video, I have explained: ✅ What is AWS EFS ✅ Step-by-step creation ✅ How to mount EFS on EC2 ✅ Real-time practical demo 🎥 Watch here: https://lnkd.in/dirJJFR5 I’m sharing practical AWS knowledge regularly.

Day 10 of my #100DaysOfDevOps 🚀 Task: Attach Elastic IP to an EC2 Instance Today, I worked on assigning an Elastic IP to an EC2 instance in AWS. This ensures the instance retains a consistent public IP address, even after stopping and restarting, whuch is a key requirement for maintaining reliable access in production environments. It’s becoming clear that stability in cloud systems often comes down to small but intentional configurations like this. Learning, building, and connecting the dots each day 💡 #DevOps #AWS #CloudComputing #LearningInPublic #TechJourney
