Application Integration

AWS Step Functions

It's a fully managed service that allows you to easily coordinate the components of distributed applications as well as microservices with the help of visual workflows and if you build applications from the individual components that can perform a discrete function, then, you can readily scale and change applications instantly. Step Functions offers a graphical console in order to arrange as well as visualize the components of your applications as series of steps which helps you to build and run multi-step applications. 

These functions can automatically triggers as well as tracks each step, and retries whenever there are errors, so that your application always always run appropriately; while also logging the state of each step, so that you can diagnose as well as debug the problems quickly in case anything goes wrong. You can also change and add steps without even writing code, so that you can easily evolve your application as well as innovate it faster. 

Amazon AppFlow

It's a fully managed integration service that can protect your data transfer between Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications such as Salesforce, Slack, Zendesk, and ServiceNow, and AWS services like Amazon S3, and Amazon Redshift, in just a few clicks. Here, you can readily run data flows at enterprise scale at the frequency of your choice, in response to a business event, or on demand while also configure data transformation capabilities such as filtering as well as validation to generate rich, ready-to-use data as a part of the flow itself without any extra steps.

Amazon AppFlow is capable of encrypting the data in motion automatically while also allowing the users to restrict data from overflowing the public Internet for SaaS applications that are integrated with AWS PrivateLink, reducing any exposure to security threats.

Amazon EventBridge

It's a serverless event bus that helps you to easily build event-driven applications at scale with the help of events generated from your applications, Integrated Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, and AWS Services. It is capable of delivering a stream of real-time data from the event sources like Zendesk or Shopify to the targets like AWS Lambda and other SaaS applications. Routing rules can also be set up to know where to send your data to build application architecture that can react real-time to your data sources with event publisher and consumer completely decoupled. 

Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA)

It's a managed orchestration service for Apache Airflow that allows you to easily set up and operate end-to-end data pipelines in the cloud at scale. Apache Airflow is an open-source tool used to programmatically author, schedule, and monitor sequences of processes as well as tasks referred to as "workflows". 

Airflow and Python can be used with the help of Managed Workflows to create workflows without having to manage the underlying infrastructure for scalability, availability, and security. Managed Workflows can automatically scales its workflow execution capacity to meet your needs, and is integrated with AWS security services in order to provide you with fast and secure access to data.  

Amazon MQ

It's a managed message broker service for Apache ActiveMQ and RabbitMQ that makes it easier to set up as well as operate message brokers (in the cloud) which also allows different software systems- often using different programming languages, and on different platforms- to communicate as well as exchange information. 

It's easier to connect your current applications to Amazon MQ as it uses industry-standard APIs as well as protocols for messaging, including JMS, NMS, AMQP, STOMP, MQTT, and WebSocket; and generally with the help of standard means, rewriting any messaging code whenever you migrate to AWS is not required.

Amazon Simple Notification Service

It's a highly available, durable, secure, fully managed pub/sub messaging service that allows you to decouple microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications. Amazon SNS offers topics for high-throughput, push-based, many-to-many messaging and using them, your publisher systems can fan out messages to a large number of subscriber endpoints for parallel processing, along with the Amazon SQS queues, AWS Lambda functions, and HTTP/S webhooks. Besides, SNS can also be used to fan out notifications to end users with the help of mobile push, SMS, and email.

Amazon Simple Queue Service

It's a fully managed message queuing service that allows you to decouple as well as scale microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications while also eliminating the complexity as well as overhead associated with managing and operating message oriented middleware, and empowers developers to focus on differentiating work. You can easily get started with SQS in minutes with the help of AWS console, Command Line Interface or SDK of your choice, and three simple command.

SQS provides two types of message queues. Standard queues provide maximum throughput, best-effort ordering, and at-least-once delivery whereas SQS FIFO queues are designed to guarantee processing of messages only once that too in exact order they are sent.

Amazon Simple Workflow Service

It helps the developers to build, run, as well as scale background jobs that have parallel or sequential steps. It can be considered as a fully-managed state tracker and task coordinator in the cloud. However, if your application's steps takes more than 500 milliseconds to complete, then, you will have to track the state of processing, and if the recover or retry task fails, then, Amazon AWS can help you.

    Thanks for sharing this brilliant blog. I agree the Roblox developer has great potential to enhance the quality of Roblox projects at businesses. But hiring a Roblox developer who has the professional-training skill sets in the same field is not easy to find. Could you please help me find reliable, trained professionals to hire for Roblox projects?

  To read part 1, please click  here To read part 2, please click  here Microsoft Monitoring Agent (MMA) MMA is used across multiple Microsoft solutions and has undergone a few name changes as its features and functionality have evolved. If it is being considered to be used, then following areas should be covered during a Microsoft Sentinel deployment project: Consider the timelines and the strategy for a migration to AMA (Azure Monitor Agent) before the MMA end-of-life.  Consider the central deployment and management methodology for MMA. Determine which endpoints are in scope for deployment as these affect the log ingestion volume significantly.  Azure Monitor Agent (AMA) Organizations with MMA as the main Microsoft Sentinel agent should start planning the migration to AMA as soon as possible to avoid a rushed migration. One of the main advantages of AMA is the ability to control the log collection policy centrally and apply different policies against different groups of computers, re

Various organizational units may require a level of access to specific dashboards or sets of data. Microsoft Sentinel offers the ability to assign table-level permissions and limit the level of access to the minimum required to perform requisite job functions.  Role-based Access Control (RBAC) Requirements Microsoft Sentinel offers an extensive list of Azure built-in roles that can be used to provide granular access according to the job requirements and permitted level of access. Some of them are various Microsoft Sentinel dedicated roles: Microsoft Sentinel Contributor- Can perform all engineering-related configuration, such as creating alert rules, configuring data connectors, and additional similar tasks.  Microsoft Sentinel Reader- Can query the log data stor
