RUN TCP/IP | Morgan Lucas' Tech Portfolio

 The nifty thing is, I was contracted to make these videos to help people decide which service they wanted to use for their logging - CloudWatch, CloudWatch Insights, DataDog, or New Relic. I'm searching through nginx logs. I have accompanying videos of each service that you can find on the CloudAvail Youtube page; See the following links to go to the CloudWatch , CloudWatch Insights, and DataDog posts.   NewRelic   I expected this to be easier than the previous two and it's rather dense in its information at first glance. Documentation is reasonable and concise; One could gather the basics of the syntax quickly. Opening a singular log entry and clicking the elements of it to include or exclude from a new query was very helpful. The GUI is my favorite; Sleek and modern, and yet it will change sometime in mid-October 2022.

What's the difference between Patterns and Transactions? The Live Tail setting is pretty cool. Would be very helpful in making you panic if there was some kind of incident and you got a ton of error logs, but then you can sort by patterns and get a bit more insight into what is failing or being attacked. You can see in my video that I had to adjust the viewport, as there was a lot of information on the

While I'm close to posting my analyses of logging services, take a look at this.  A VM has been attacked multiple times. Check in your Security Alerts panel from the Azure Security Center homepage. Just In Time VM access is enabled. If you're not using a VM, it doesn't have to be up until a service specifically asks for it. Watch the video for more.

 This is me going "Hey, let's open up VS Code and just mess around." Here is the website for this project.   Let's look at what I did !  

 Link here ; It may not be free by the time you see it, but check again in a day or so. You know Udemy, there's always a sale. SEOs have always seemed simple on the surface to me, but somewhat hard to implement. WordPress has tools installed, but Google's Red-Headed Stepchild, Blogger, has been abandoned, with limited improvements, so SEO manipulation is harder. Questions I have: If we're all gunning to get to Google (or Bing's) first page, how effective can these tactics be?  Using the same keywords, how do we stand out? Don't use the same words. See; Head, Body, and Long Tail keywords. Head is likely to be the single, most competitive word. Body involves phrases, and long tail include more descriptive phrases. Have you ever searched something relatively specific (like 'firewalls for CloudFormation JSON code') and gotten fewer results? That's the Long Tail. Tools Mentioned Google (Of course) Keywords Everywhere - Does it work with Bing? (Yes!) What I L

 Want to share this easily? Check out the Notion page. By Morgan Lucas (she/her) from this video by Johnny Chivers We use data migration services to, well, migrate data. But why would we want to do this? - Perhaps we're moving our business to the cloud, and need to shift all of that cold storage we have onsite. - Maybe we want to use it as a backup in cause our infrasturcture is out of commission. - Or we could have information to share with a 3rd party, and instead of giving access to on-site databases, we put it on AWS to share. Nevertheless, let's recap what I've done. Created publicly accessible, password-protected data base with Amazon Aurora with PostgreSQL Compatibility to migrate to Amazon Dynamo DB Managed inbound rules of security group to limit access Used open source software HeidiDB to interact with database via a TCP/IP session and specific URL for DB (Not shown here for security)     Connected to Aurora PostgreSQL Database ran queries that deleted and crea

I am a Nintendo household. I have every console from childhood - Some of the very oldest ones were my father's - except the Virtual Boy. I still have my GameCube, Wii, Wii U, and now the Switch.  When I received the Wii U with two games loaded onto it - Smash Bros and something called Splatoon, I wanted it for Smash Bros, but as a long time Smash Bros. player, it felt too odd to have my hands a foot away on the large, ungainly controller. Muscle memory was too strong. Since Splatoon was a new IP, it took less trouble to get accustomed to the controls - And I fell in love with the entire colorful, post-apocalyptic aesthetic of squids dressing terribly and slinging paint around. A few days ago, Nintendo Europe released a video showing off the Splatoon 3 edition Switch, and it is gorgeous . It looks more colorful than the actual game. Wish I made enough money consistently to justify getting one of these. Want to help with that? See here and share .   I'm not super sure when these
