Jonathan RobertsGUEST
... that is not gonna get it done.
Jonathan RobertsGUEST
So you need to, uh, do something with teeth, right? You need to actually start not just saying, "Don't come in," you actually have to start locking the door, right? Now, what we can do on our side is limited, but what we can do with our partners is much more, uh, successful, right? And so we work with Cloudflare, we've worked with Fastly, we've worked with Akamai, we've worked with CloudFront, right? And these are companies that, you know, three years ago you would never have heard of.
Jonathan RobertsGUEST
They weren't, they were like how you would stop getting kind of a, a, a takedown attack from bots, right? But these are now the front line of protecting our IP.
Jonathan RobertsGUEST
What they will do is say, "Okay, for anybody who comes to your website, is this a person or is a robot?" Right? If you've ever come across, as we all have, those are-you-a-robot pages, it's because of one of those four companies.
Vincent De SmetGUEST
And then...
Vincent De SmetGUEST
Something else came, right? CloudFront was there.
Vincent De SmetGUEST
Then Cloudflare launched these, I don't know if that was workers, but the ability to have functions run at the edge.
Vincent De SmetGUEST
When AWS CloudFront launched Lambda at the edge, it was not comparable.
Vincent De SmetGUEST
It was extremely slow.
Vincent De SmetGUEST
It could not do most of the things that you could do with CloudFront Functions, like lambdas at the edge could not hit other endpoints or things like that.
Vincent De SmetGUEST
Then they launched another capability called CloudFront Functions, which was much closer to Cloudflare workers, I think.
Vincent De SmetGUEST
CloudFront
Alastair CookeHOST
A flaw in the pre-installed Intel Connectivity Performance Suite, or ICPS, is causing silent network drops on some laptops across a variety of vendors, some like Asus and Samsung.
Alastair CookeHOST
means that IPv6 connections to things like OneDrive and AWS Cloud, CloudFront, drop off.
Alastair CookeHOST
And so applications perform badly.
Alastair CookeHOST
But when we're doing our troubleshooting using IPv4, everything is fine.
Corey QuinnHOST
Uh, 3 million in SNS charges a day.
Corey QuinnHOST
Uh, anywhere between 1.5 to 2.1 million in CloudFront charges, assuming they can't shove it into a flat rate plan, which they cannot.
Corey QuinnHOST
And $460,000 a day in Lambda request charges.
Corey QuinnHOST
And with SQS, $85 per second.
BaluHOST
The correct answer is option D: AWS Certificates Manager, and here's why it's right.
BaluHOST
AWS Certificate Manager, or ACM for short, provisions, manages, and renews SSL or TLS certificates, and it integrates directly with services like the Application Load Balancer and CloudFront.
BaluHOST
Public certificates from ACM are free, and ACM handles automatic renewal, so you get encryption in transit without the cost or manual effort of managing certificates.
BaluHOST
That matches the requirement here precisely.
9 MINS LATER
BaluHOST
The correct answer is option C, AWS WAF, and here's why it's right.
BaluHOST
WAF, the web application firewall, operates at layer seven and lets you create rules to filter web traffic, protecting against common exploits like SQL injection and cross-site scripting and blocking specific IP addresses.
BaluHOST
You attach it to your application load balancer, CloudFront, or API gateway.
BaluHOST
The exploits and IP blocking named in the question are exactly WAF's job.
Tom RossiGUEST
We integrate Spotify, we integrate...
Tom RossiGUEST
In terms of analytics, we get analytics from Spotify, we get analytics from Cloudflare, from CloudFront, from different CDN providers, right? So for me, I'd written this abstraction to pull the data in because I'm a good object-oriented programmer, I think.
Joël QuennevilleGUEST
Mm-hmm.
Tom RossiGUEST
And so I'd written this abstraction, whatever.
BaluHOST
Option C, DynamoDB Accelerator.
BaluHOST
And option D, Amazon CloudFront.
BaluHOST
Let's pause here.
BaluHOST
The correct answer is option B, ElastiCache for Redis.
James CridlandHOST
...
James CridlandHOST
Amazon CloudFront caches it because I, I don't want to hit lots of people all the time, particularly since, you know, we are seeing...
James CridlandHOST
I mean, our search, you know, our search function has been a vector for bots to come in.
James CridlandHOST
I mean, the amount of search traffic that we were getting was ridiculous.
Andreas WittigHOST
So that's basically it.
Andreas WittigHOST
And then we use CloudFront and S3 to distribute images.
Andreas WittigHOST
And then I thought, do we need a web interface where we can manage our subscribers and so on? But I decided against it because only Michael and me are using this tool.
Andreas WittigHOST
That's why I decided, let's build just a CLI.
David PisarekHOST
The free tier will be more than enough.
David PisarekHOST
If you're on AWS, you can use CloudFront, and there's all kinds of monitoring on the AWS side.
David PisarekHOST
But we love Cloudflare.
David PisarekHOST
It acts as a CDN.
