AWS Infrastructure And Effective Way To Manage

In AWS 'growing and growing world, AWS branding has proven to be the most effective way to manage the AWS infrastructure. However, it is necessary to implement an appropriate marking strategy to meet the needs of their organizations, respecting best practices.

AWS tags are client-defined tags that are useful for grouping AWS resources according to teams, environments, applications, roles, and so on. These tags help you manage, filter, and search for AWS resources. In addition, tags help set up cost management and automation that enable organizations to easily manage AWS resources, whether using a console, or using AWS APIs programmatically.

Most AWS features support markup. Some of the benefits of using these features are:

By filtering resources or by creating resource groups,
Implement a strategy to allocate costs for certain resources,
Displaying a detailed billing summary,
Set up identity and access management policies based on tags and
Configure automation by using automation scripts that take snapshots of the instance with a common tag.

Tags are easy to edit, allowing you to adjust them according to your ever-changing business needs. To learn more about marking strategies and best practices, see this link.

Tag-based backup using CPM
N2WS Cloud Protection Manager (CPM) helps you leverage these tags to manage your backups as well as continuous label-based backup and recovery solutions for your organization. To back up EBS volumes, you can create a specific tag and schedule a tag with CPM. CPM will scan your account on a predefined schedule and configure the backup policy accordingly.

These characteristics are advantageous in a variety of cases. For example, let's say you run multiple EC2 instances (which have application / web / DB servers) that have persistent storage and need to be copied regularly. To save continuously, you mark these instances with a "backup cpm" tag. In this way, each time CPM performs analyzes on the AWS account, a backup (AMI or snapshot) is taken from the EBS volumes of the application server upon detection of a corresponding mark.

CPM also detects changes in variables over time. Therefore, if an instance is complete, CPM will automatically stop backing up. Additionally, if new instances are started, CPM will back up those instances according to the backup strategy. You can follow this step-by-step guide to set up a label-based backup.

Configuring and Managing Tag-Based Backups
To start a label-based backup, you must first allow scans of your CPM console. Log in to the CPM console and go to the "General Settings" menu. Then set the "Scan Features" option to "On" as shown in the image below.


If all settings are correctly configured, CPM will begin scanning and setting up automated backup. If there is a syntactic error in the configuration, this will cause an error. Check the scan log for any critical errors that may appear; These errors indicate a specific feature or error that prevents automation from working properly.

As the image below shows, a very specific error appears and indicates that "the policy does not exist / is attached to the account".

The only way to avoid such errors is to avoid five syntax errors when configuring label-based backup. We address these five common mistakes in the next section.

Potential issues with configuring and managing label-based backups
The first thing you need to do to find an error is to verify that the tag is attached to the instance. To do this, go to the AWS console. From there, go to EC2, then to Tags.

Locate the tag called "backup cpm" and verify that the "backup cpm" value complies with the documentation guidelines.

Possible errors that can occur with a label value To use label-based backup more efficiently, you need to be aware of and avoid all possible pitfalls that may occur when setting up this feature, as shown below. Use Tips To Avoid These Errors: When you enumerate multiple rule names, make sure they are separated by spaces. As shown in the image below, you should never set rules without space, otherwise, analysis Backup will display an error.

 When creating a new policy, check the use of ':' and not ';'. The syntax is "new_policy1: existing_policy1". Use a valid name for a new policy or it will not be created (the error message will be added to the scan log). Always use an alphanumeric format for r as shown below. If you do not use the alphanumeric name, the new policy will not be created as shown in this verification record. Be sure to use the correct names for existing policies / templates. Set the correct match name of existing policies / templates to the label value, as shown below. The resource scan order is not set up, so use the policy names only as existing / only if you're sure it exists in CPM - either manually set or previously scanned. Make sure the font name is valid or the speut does not work correctly.

Conclusion
CPM is an ideal solution for continuous and automatic backup in the AWS cloud. If you have an environment with hundreds or thousands of instances, it becomes very difficult to locate all the resources and solve problems. AWS Tags helps you manage your infrastructure dynamically, allowing you to configure automation simply by using tags. In addition, labeling enables automatic, scheduled, and continuous backups to be easily performed through CPM. It also allows for large-scale backup and recovery of resources and servers across multiple AWS accounts. For more information, see this link to see how CPM backup works.
