Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services comparison
Well, this is interesting…
Microsoft has added what appears to be a very comprehensive comparison of services provided by Azure and AWS.
What is interesting is that there are (currently) some services provided by Azure that dont (appear to) have an AWS equivalent.
With Microsoft seemingly making positive mindshare strides in recent years, this is another good move it seems.

A temporary fix for Logstash S3 input authentication
A while ago I ran into an issue where I couldnt use Logstash and the ‘logstash-input-s3’ plugin, and the manual authentication method didnt work well.
Process AWS ELB logs with Logstash! update!
I previously wrote about making a grok filter to process ELB logs.
I have since worked on this further and developed an updated filter, which has been working very well for some time now.
As there were some comments on the previous post, I thought I should upload my working copy that I use right now also.

Process AWS ELB logs with Logstash!
I recently ran into a problem with Logstash, where it would not correctly and consistently process AWS (Amazon Web Services) ELB (Elastic Load Balancer) logs from an S3 bucket.
ELB logs are the standard method of logging ELB usage and activity in AWS, and are very useful when trying to determine a wide variety of trends and activities.
I was determined to get ELB logs into Elasticsearch, using logstash, so I needed to figure out a few things… Read the rest of this entry »
Fixing permissions on CloudTrail S3 objects
Where I work we aggregate all of our AWS CloudTrail logs from separate accounts into a single S3 bucket in a central account.
Yesterday, I ran into a weird problem where I noticed that our Logging solution, ELK, would not process files dating before a certain time.
Upon further investigation, I discovered that the date period missing was before we moved all of our existing files into the bucket from the AWS account it was originally in. So, “simple!” I thought to myself, “I’ll just update the permissions and allow ELK access to the files!”.
I was wrong, not simple. I had to fix this anyway… Read the rest of this entry »

How to enable remote Powershell Script execution
I develop and run quite a few little network scripts to automate repetitive and mundane tasks, and I try as much as possible to do this remotely, without requiring to log onto a particular machine.
I recently ran into a Powershell error that prevented enabling remote Powershell Script running, using the command Enable-PSRemoting. Read the rest of this entry »
Incoming Stompa!
I started working on an old Ork Stompa that I have had for quite a while.
The model itself I got half-painted and half assembled about 2 years ago and it has sat collecting dust since then.
So, with a burst of activity, and to provide some welcome break from my Imperial Fists now my Dreadnoughts are quite done, I’ve begun to focus on more things again to make way for newer releases. Read the rest of this entry »
