How I - well, AWS WAF and CloudFront - saved the day for my client

WAF - Stack technique

I was working on the migration to AWS of my client, an e-retailer, when I received a phone call: “Paul, we are in trouble, our site has been attacked by denial of service for a week; we are losing money! Can you help?“

Pas question de bâcler la fin de la migration. Le client n’a pas encore conteneurisé son appli, on n’a pas fait de test de migration de données, et encore moins de test de charge. Mais comme je l’avais indiqué dans un précédent blog post, le Cloud peut aussi rendre des services à l’infrastructure on-premise. C’est le moment de le prouver !

Running Power BI On-Premises Data Gateway on AWS for $0.12 a day

Today, I’d like to discuss in detail how to deploy a fully functional (and reliable) Power BI Data Gateway, and the difficulties to overcome in doing so. As a Christmas present, you’ll get code snippets and a fully functional GitHub repository to clone with Terraform code to deploy :)
