Webapper specializes in cloud hosting on Amazon AWS. We share articles on key concepts, industry news and important trends.
Having a smart backup strategy for Amazon S3 is important. A common failure of backups is not having a clear understanding around the potential disasters you must defend against. From simple things like accidentally overwriting a file to losing your entire AWS account, you must ensure the integrity and availability of your data.
Amazon S3 buckets continue to be the core storage facility for cloud-based systems. The original goal was to ensure that organizations could use public buckets and objects easily, providing tools to limit public access. Because S3 has occasionally been a newsworthy security topic, AWS makes changes to shore them up. In April 2023, several important Amazon S3 security changes are coming, so if you use S3 buckets, you'll want to know what to expect. AWS will roll out the changes all AWS Regions within a few weeks.
Cybercrime is on the rise, driven by dramatic increases in random and targeted attacks. Threats continue to rise in complexity and scale, impacting businesses, essential services, and individuals. The effects include financial loss, business continuity, reduced productivity, damage to reputation, and legal liability issues. In response, Zero Trust Networking Access is emerging as a powerful mechanism to bolster organizational security.
We love exchanging ideas about application modernization and cloud migration -- it's what we do. Putting those concepts into another bucket, you could also say we love our involvement with application migration services. Technology morphs, paradigms shift, systems grow obsolete, and someone has to deliver continuity. Since application migration services are in our DNA, we wanted to share our roadmap, with a look into the potential benefits and challenges.
As we help customers expand their cloud computing capabilities in AWS, we also find ourselves educating organizations not only in what is possible but also more efficient. To illustrate why serverless is gaining popularity in AWS and rival cloud platforms, we wanted to share 10 compelling serverless use cases that demonstrate the simplicity and cost savings it provides.
New technologies and architectural patterns are emerging all the time. Catching up outdated systems to leverage these developments is a noteworthy trend. You can choose from a range of modernization options, such as lift & shift, replatforming, rearchitecting, replacement, and retirement. If you're facing a huge backlog of technical debt, the answer may be application modernization. Simply stated, application modernization is a revolution that’s been brewing for years, and if you haven’t fully embraced it yet, check out its five pillars...
Data is the lifeblood of any company today. Rare will you attend a business meeting without mentions of EBITDA, KPIs, OKRs, and a growing array of acronyms emblazoned on executive dashboards. We've morphed from starving to get enough data to swimming in it. We're now faced with a new challenge: making sense of data, turning data into useful information. And the way forward is data modernization.
We're growing increasingly dependent on cloud computing, and that means costs rise with that growth. We've written about cloud economics before, as it's always important to our clients and associates. As we wrap up another year, it's worth having a look at the factors driving up your cloud costs. It can help with year end reviews and new year planning.
In a recent conversation with Webapper, a lead developer said “In order to ship on time, I just need more time to code.” He went on to say “If I didn’t have to spend all this time on the product roadmap, I could ship on time.” After three decades in software development, these statements sound significant alarm bells...
Over the years, we've worked with a variety of companies that use public, private, and hybrid cloud configurations. Hybrid clouds require careful initial configuration & migration and ongoing diligent management over time. Proper hybrid cloud security protects data, applications, and resources across all environments, while allowing access to useful workloads in the cloud environment. We've assembled six areas to address with hybrid cloud security.
