• DHCP is not blocked by ufw/iptables

  All mentioned items have side-channel borked firewall and route rules in the past. Some bugs intermittently silently block local daemon instances from (re)loading like magic (some bugs only happen when the system is brought up). If your daily tasks include something less borked, than consider yourself very lucky you live without systemd. If I recall, ufw was intended for simple workstation rule sets.

• Life After Shorewall: Replacement Options?

  I've been using Shorewall for the last decade or so on everything from custom OpenWRT firewall/gateway solutions to servers running Debian or Ubuntu. It's great software that makes managing iptables/netfilter a breeze. Alas after many years, Mr. Eastep has retired and it doesn't appear the project is maintained by a new person or team.

• Generating cloudwatch alarms using 'metric math' via CloudFormation and Terraform.

  There are several well-known 3rd party tools, such as Splunk or DataDog, but people often forget there is a handy set of tools provided by AWS under the CloudWatch banner. CloudWatch provides a range of services, such as exposing metrics, linking them to alarms, and X-ray services, to allow us to understand the performance of services in more depth. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Refactoring a serverless application to use Step Functions third-party API call integration

  I use the OpenWeather API to receive the current temperature data by providing the latitude and longitude coordinates as query strings in the request. A Lambda function invokes the weather API and sends the current temperature value as a custom metric to CloudWatch. I then graph the temperature values on a dashboard and activate an alarm when the temperature sinks below zero degrees Celsius. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Build Amazon CloudWatch Dashboards with AWS CDK for Serverless Services

  The library provides “easy-to-use CDK constructs for monitoring your AWS infrastructure with Amazon CloudWatch.” It abstracts the CW widget creation and simplifies it with out of the box support for many AWS services such as API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB and more. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago
