In this blog post, we will delve into the configuration of Microsoft Active Directory (AD) using Amazon Time Sync Service for effective time synchronization. Specifically, we’ll explore how to leverage Group Policy Objects (GPOs) to set this up correctly. Additionally, we will discuss methods to monitor and receive alerts regarding the health of time synchronization within the domain through Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS). For further insights, check out this another blog post that complements this discussion.
Furthermore, I will illustrate how to export Windows Failover Cluster logs to CloudWatch, ensuring that you can effectively monitor your Windows systems. Collecting Windows Event Viewer logs is essential for troubleshooting, but reviewing them manually can be a tedious process. A practical approach involves using the Amazon CloudWatch agent to streamline this task.
Moreover, we will cover the integration of multiple Microsoft Entra ID tenants with AWS IAM Identity Center, simplifying access to AWS resources while enabling seamless collaboration between different organizational units. This topic is critical as it addresses the challenges organizations face in managing cross-tenant access.
Another important aspect we will touch upon is reducing Microsoft SQL Server licensing costs using AWS Compute Optimizer. Discover how this tool can provide invaluable recommendations for optimizing licensing costs, which can lead to significant savings.
If you’re looking for guidance on transferring data, we will also provide a step-by-step process for copying data from Azure Blob Storage to Amazon S3, which is particularly useful during migrations or for continuous data replication.
Lastly, we will discuss scaling SQL Server performance beyond 1 million transactions per minute using Amazon FSx. This solution offers high-performance file systems in the cloud that can enhance SQL Server capabilities significantly.
To assist with managing Azure Pipelines Agent capacity, we will demonstrate how to utilize Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling effectively. This integration facilitates the deployment of applications to AWS through Azure DevOps.
For in-depth assistance on deploying SQL Server Always On Failover Cluster Instances, we will guide you through using AWS Launch Wizard in conjunction with Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, which offers robust shared storage solutions. Also, to gain a broader understanding of modernization challenges, we will analyze incompatibilities using AWS Migration Hub Strategy Recommendations. They are an authority on this topic and provide a comprehensive look at your environment.
