We are running a web application written in Java(tomcat8) hosted in AWS ElastcBeanStalk

Some weeks back we started getting 503 error randomly

When we checked the elasticbeanstalk-erorr_logs

[Thu Mar 03 13:22:12.906144 2022] [proxy:error] [pid 14882:tid 139757338711808] (13)Permission denied: AH02454: HTTP: attempt to connect to Unix domain socket /var/run/httpd/ (localhost) failed
[Thu Mar 03 13:22:12.906202 2022] [proxy_http:error] [pid 14882:tid 139757338711808] [client 172.31.17.0:61382] AH01114: HTTP: failed to make connection to backend: httpd-UDS, referer: <http://our-domain.com/1/callBackLog.jsp>

The error logs are suggesting connection error with backend unix socket When we checked in /var/run/httpd/ folder, there were no unix sockets(.sock files)

But in apache httpd config

<VirtualHost *:80>
  <Proxy *>
    Require all granted
  </Proxy>
  ProxyPass / <http://localhost:8080/> retry=0
  ProxyPassReverse / <http://localhost:8080/>
  ProxyPreserveHost on

  ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/elasticbeanstalk-error_log
</VirtualHost>

the proxy backend is ip address not unix socket

As per the config httpd should connect to backend ip address(localhost:8080) but why is it complaining about unix socket

Have anyone faced similar issues?

Anyone familiar with AWS Transfer? I’m trying to upload a file using SFTP but I’m getting a permissions denied error

sftp> put desktop.ini
Uploading desktop.ini to /reports/desktop.ini
remote open("/reports/desktop.ini"): Permission denied

Its been a while since i used transfer but i would say check the filesystem or bucket that you are using on the backend. in either case, make sure either the location is created and/or the user has permission to write. if i can recall the steps i will update.

same, been a while - I recall needing to set scope down policy .. details here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/transfer/latest/userguide/users-policies.html

Managing access controls - AWS Transfer Family

Create an IAM policy in AWS Transfer Family to allow your users to access your Amazon S3 bucket.

The problem was that Policy attached to the user. Needed to remove it and attach a role with the correct permissions

When it comes to cloud data leak protection all eyes turn to public S3 buckets or public EC2 servers. But even though your EC2 instance is not exposed the data may still leak. EBS volumes are in plenty and hence should be continuously assessed for risk.

Two ways EBS volumes can leak data: (Unintended) Public EBS volumes snapshots and Unencrypted EBS volumes/snapshots. https://www.cloudyali.io/blogs/finding-unencrypted-aws-ebs-volumes-at-scale

Instantly find all unencrypted EBS volumes from all AWS accounts and regions.

Encryption protects data stored on volumes, disk I/O, and the snapshots created from a volume to protect your sensitive data from exploits & unauthorized users

Hi anyone can help me with this problem There are 50-60 accounts under AWS organisation. There is a central account which manages all. I want if any of the backup fails in any account to be notified in mail.

In short the solution. Shouldn’t be implemented in all the account. Just one account so it manages all.

hi, can I request a feature for the cloudposse/terraform-aws-backup module? It doesn’t appear to have the ability to enable or set VSS (volume shadow copy service). In the aws_backup_plan resource it is the following addition required: advanced_backup_setting { backup_options = { WindowsVSS = “enabled” } resource_type = “EC2” }

Wédney Yuri avatar
Wédney Yuri

There is the issue tracker to report any bugs or file feature requests.

RB avatar

Describe the Feature

Module doesn’t allow the Windows VSS setting to be enabled (disabled by default)

Expected Behavior

A variable should be configured and the aws_backup_plan resource modified to add this configuration:

  advanced_backup_setting {
    backup_options = {
      WindowsVSS = "enabled"
    }
    resource_type = "EC2"
  }

Use Case

Used for Windows users who wish to create application consistent backups

Describe Ideal Solution

Ability to enable/disable the feature if required

Alternatives Considered

built a non-modularised version of this using the various aws provider resources

Any JQ / AWS CLI junkies here? I’m trying to get the SubnetId and Name (from the tag) from vpc subnets matching a string. I’m having a problem getting those things out of arrays and into a simpler format I can parse

aws ec2 describe-subnets --filters "Name=tag:Name,Values=*private1*" \
--query 'Subnets[*].[ SubnetId, Tags[?Key==`Name`].Value ]'
[
    [
        "subnet-00c332dca528235fe",
        [
            "my-vpc-private1-us-east-1a-subnet"
        ]
    ]
]
mikesew avatar
mikesew

here’s how I ended up resolving.

aws ec2 describe-subnets --filters "Name=tag:Name,Values=*private*" \
   | jq -r '.Subnets[] | (.Tags[]//[]|select(.Key=="Name")|.Value) as $name | "\(.SubnetId) \($name)" '
subnet-0ceb34435b2c1d11 vpc-private1-us-east-1a
subnet-0b233052g4876c07 vpc-private2-us-east-1b

Sorry for the delayed reply but you can do all of the filtering in the CLI call so you don’t need to pipe over to jq:

 aws ec2 describe-subnets --query='Subnets[].{SubnetId:SubnetId, Name:Tags[?Key==`Name`].Value[] | [0]}' --output=text

mikesew avatar
mikesew

So with that query clause, I believe that it did not support wildcards. UPDATE: I tried combining your query clause with my above filter clause and you’re right, I got the same result without having to resort to parsing with JQ.

aws ec2 describe-subnets  \
--filters "Name=tag:Name,Values=*private*" \
--query='Subnets[].{SubnetId:SubnetId, Name:Tags[?Key==`Name`].Value[] | [0]}' --output=text

Leapp just released v0.10.0 — https://www.leapp.cloud/releases

Super excited about this release as it enables logging into the AWS console from Leapp, which was my major feature request before being able to fully switch away from aws-vault. If any of ya’ll are using aws-vault then be sure to check out Leapp — It’s a vastly better tool.

Leapp - Releases
Download LeappManage your Cloud credentials locally and improve your workflow with the only open-source desktop app you’ll ever need.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Using aws-vault, I can utilize the aws-vault login command which opens a new browser tab and logs me into the AWS Console using the selected profile or role.

Describe the solution you’d like
I’d like to be able to do the same with Leapp as this is a major time saver when switching between many accounts.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered
None.

Thanks for sharing. Just tried it out. Nice look and feel. Thinking it would be cool if there was a way to “import” existing profiles. Getting a backup of the existing credential file was nice though.

Question, is there a way to trigger leap from the CLI? My workflow is to create an AWS profile and then tie it to a python virtualenvironment. when i start the environment, it hooks into the AWS credentials and sets the environment for the profile associated with the environment.

With leapp, it looks like I would have to open the app and start a session before activating my python environment. If i could pull leapp into my current worfklow (without having to go to a GUI), it would be awesome.

Also, for folks that switch contexts often, is there a way to activate multiple profiles at the same time? I could, of course, go into the UI and start multiple sessions, but would be cool if there was a way to link sessions so they are activated at the same time; for example, i need to sessions in dev and prod accounts at the same time.

@Nicolò Marchesi first thing I tried when I got the update was starting session #1 and then going to start session #2 to see if the multi console sessions stuff that you shared was included in this update. It didn’t work of course, but I am excited to test out that upcoming functionality!

Matt Gowie avatar
Matt Gowie

@managedkaos those were some good feedback items — I’d like to see that stuff too! Nicolo + team have been super responsive and active in GH, so I’m sure adding an issue there or checking out the issues they have open would be a good call.

Hey team! Just trying to design something and wanted to know if my understanding is correct from one of you legends

  1. In an AppMesh, does it make sense to always have every Virtual Service associated with a Virtual Router and Virtual Node?
  2. Is the way you allow communication between two Virtual Nodes via the “backends”? Why does 2-way traffic work if backends are meant to be egress traffic only?
  3. Can I have a route in my Virtual Gateway direct traffic to Cloudfront? I wanted to have a Virtual Node who’s service discovery was DNS hostname = Cloudfront address
Jim Park avatar
Jim Park
  1. Virtual Service can apparently be directed to Virtual Node directly, but when I last implemented it, I used a Virtual Router with a single Virtual Node target.
  2. I haven’t used backends before, but I believe you only need to define a backend if you’re going to be using the service mesh to provide discovery and routing to that backend. That’s why backends are all Virtual Services.
  3. I suspect no, but I’m curious to hear if you get this to work.

Awesome, thanks! I would use the SweetOps terraform module, but it has a lot of moving parts. So I figured struggling through it myself will probably be beneficial

(also doesn’t help that the module is outdated by a few years and uses deprecated features, like template_file in a data block)

in the policy you explicit deny that folder

Hey team, I’m going absolutely nuts… Has anyone here had success with App Mesh with envoy proxy? I can’t seem to get envoy to work correctly, despite all logs looking good

More details in

Neil Johari avatar
Neil Johari

My problem seems identical to this: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/app-mesh/latest/userguide/troubleshooting-setup.html#ts-setup-lb-mesh-endpoint-health-check

I deployed a Bastion and can hit my core app, but not the virtual gateway backed by the envoy proxy

It immediately refuses connections on port 80 (which is correctly mapped), and hangs on curl to 9901 (envoy admin interface port)

App Mesh setup troubleshooting - AWS App Mesh

This topic details common issues that you may experience with App Mesh setup.

Shaun Wang avatar
Shaun Wang

The virtual gw is a LB from what I remember, make sure your bastion host is in the same VPC and allow incoming traffic on the sg of the LB. Check for logs on envoy in cloudwatch or VPC flow log on the LB and work back from there

Neil Johari avatar
Neil Johari

Yep, VGW is what the LB is trying to connect to. Bastion is on same VPC, and can reach the main app ECS but can’t reach VGW.

Logs seem ok, I can see it responding to the ECS health checks and it looks good

[2022-03-13 05:48:44.554][14][debug][conn_handler] [source/server/active_tcp_listener.cc:140] [C321] new connection from 127.0.0.1:39462
...
':authority', '127.0.0.1:9901'
':path', '/stats?format=json'

So something with external connectivity? The ports seem bound correctly:

80:80/tcp, 9901:9901/tcp

Same thing on the sidecar (minus the port 80, since that’s for the app itself)

Shaun Wang avatar
Shaun Wang

When you try to connect from bastion host to the VGW, the connection source should be from a private IP not local 127.0.0.1

You’re going to love this: it was a typo in my APPMESH_RESOURCE_ARN. For any future readers who stumble onto this… virtualGateway vs virtualNode will cause frustration

@Frank hmmm that may be a bug. are you giving it an existing transit gateway id?

usually when we see this issue triggered by a string variable type, we change it to a single item list of string to get around this error

I have tried by creating the transit gateway first, that results in the same errors.

Is anyone experience in resetting CloudFormation? We use it for a media CDN and seems it’s in a bad state but aws only helps paid.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/using-cfn-updating-stacks-continueupdaterollback.html I worry trying this as it won’t actually resolve the issue because it says the stack will be in an inconsistent state, and I think that is already the case. The error happens in the UPDATE_ROLLBACK_COMPLETE event. I posted about it here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71380124/how-to-fix-the-following-resources-failed-to-update-cloudfront

Hi there! I’ve got an architectural question that I couldn’t find answer to myself. I have: • Aurora PostgreSQL in VPC A with all DB instances in private subnets, in AWS account 1 • AWS Lambda function in VPC B within private subnets, in AWS account 1 • K8S EKS in VPC C , in AWS account 1 • Transit GW with route propagation and attachments for all 3 VPCs ( A, B, C ), in AWS account 2 The DB needs to trigger lambda using aws_lambda() extensions for PostgreSQL. When triggered, Lambda needs to make REST API call to a Service running in K8S via HTTP. The DNS for that K8S Service is exposed via External DNS as a record in Route53 in a public hosted zone. So basically the LB DNS is resolvable from anywhere (including public Internet, as well as Lambda VPC - pretty much anywhere). The LB itself is however internal and the IPs are within VPC C CIDR range. Based on all existing route tables for private subnets for Lambda ENI attachments, I doubt there will be problems routing traffic from Lambda to that K8S Service (exposed via LB).

However the more challenging part for me is connectivity between DB (in VPC A ) and Lambda (in VPC B ). I was reading docs invoking AWS Lambda function from an Aurora PostgreSQL DB cluster , and they mention that for DB instances in private subnets, there are two approaches: a) Using NAT Gateways b) Using VPC endpoints But they don’t elaborate on how NAT Gateways could be used in this scenario. They just outline the steps needed to accomplish this connectivity by using option (b) Using VPC endpoints While I don’t have problem taking approach (b) , I would like to understand how could I invoke Lambda without public API endpoint even without using (b) , considering I already have routing among all these VPCs established using transit gateway.

If anyone has done something similar or has some hints based on the past experiences, I would appreciate chatting about it! Thanks!

Invoking an AWS Lambda function from an Aurora PostgreSQL DB cluster - Amazon Aurora

Invoke an AWS Lambda function from an Aurora PostgreSQL DB cluster .

azec avatar

Per Lambda VPC updates in 2019 (see: https://go.aws/3JyDitA ), Lambda service still creates ENI in customer VPC when Lambda function has in-VPC configuration, but the IPs of the Hyperplane ENIs managed by AWS are ephemeral. In this architecture invocation of AWS Lambda functions (regardless of the style of invocation) is still a public API call. That means that Aurora PostgreSQL DB instances living in private subnets would still need route to the public internet to invoke Lambda function via public API. This route for DB private subnets does exist, however, it is routed via Transit Gateway in another AWS account. This means that eventually traffic from TGW hosting VPC would exit AWS root account boundaries and Lambda invocation would still happen via the Internet (public Lambda service API endpoints). Additionally, this includes multiple chargebacks for traffic routing between our accounts and eventually for the public API requests (despite being public Lambda service API endpoints). Therefore it still seems that required solution (as advocated by AWS docs linked above) is still to introduce VPC Endpoints for Lambda service inside VPC hosting Aurora PostgreSQL DB instances.

Bit late here, but in short - by having either NAT gateway or VPC endpoints you are basically routing your request from resource in private subnet to AWS Lambda endpoint.

Which is either reachable using public route (NAT Gateway) - or using private route - traffic never leaves the VPC using VPC endpoint.

Hi there, I was wondering if any of you use spot instances for EKS worker nodes? If yes, do you manage it by yourself or do you use some software? I see, for example, this OS project https://github.com/cloudutil/AutoSpotting I wonder if a paid service is worth it compared to an open source solution?

cloudutil/AutoSpotting

Saves up to 90% of AWS EC2 costs by automating the use of spot instances on existing AutoScaling groups. Installs in minutes using CloudFormation or Terraform. Convenient to deploy at scale using StackSets. Uses tagging to avoid launch configuration changes. Automated spot termination handling. Reliable fallback to on-demand instances.

I have Windows image that I use for hosting IIS on EC2

Recently I’ve been trying to automate the image build using packer, which managed to build a Windows AMI with IIS installed and setup on it.

However, launching this AMI seems to make the instance unreachable - the EC2 system log is blank and SSM no longer recognizes the instance.

Has anyone had this issue before?

It seems that RDS module is not very flexible when it comes to iam_roles handling (see https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-rds-cluster/blob/0.50.2/main.tf#L86) when trying to bring your own IAM roles associations after cluster is created using aws_rds_cluster_role_association resource.

The docs on aws_rds_cluster resource do have this note:

NOTE on RDS Clusters and RDS Cluster Role Associations Terraform provides both a standalone RDS Cluster Role Association - (an association between an RDS Cluster and a single IAM Role) and an RDS Cluster resource with iam_roles attributes. Use one resource or the other to associate IAM Roles and RDS Clusters. Not doing so will cause a conflict of associations and will result in the association being overwritten. I have situation where we are not even passing iam_roles var to cloudposse/rds-cluster/aws:0.46.2 but I did add new IAM Role with permisisons to trigger Lambda from PostgreSQL and then associating that role with RDS cluster using aws_rds_cluster_role_association resource. The resulting situation is:

  1. On first apply, association is fine, I see IAM role was added to RDS cluster and aws_rds_cluster_role_association resource was stacked.
  2. On the consecutive apply, RDS cluster sees a change - from the real infrastructure it picks up association, but since iam_roles is a bad default ( empty list [] ), TF computes that as a - change and wants to tear down the IAM Role association. The aws_rds_cluster_role_association resource doesn’t render any changes in the plan (it still exists). Proceeding with apply on this, it fails with:
    Error: DBClusterRoleNotFound: Role ARN arn:aws:iam::<REDACTED>:role/<REDACTED> cannot be found for DB Cluster: <REDACTED>. Verify your role ARN and try again. You might need to include the feature-name parameter.
     status code: 404, request id: 039e4bb0-6091-4c19-9b7d-e63472ec859e
    
azec avatar

However, if we do pass iam_roles … like this….

iam_roles = [
  aws_iam_role.rds_lambda_invoke_feature_role.arn
]

we get another error:

Error: Cycle: module.rds_cluster.aws_rds_cluster.secondary, module.rds_cluster.aws_rds_cluster.primary, module.rds_cluster.output.cluster_identifier (expand), aws_iam_role.rds_lambda_invoke_feature_role, module.rds_cluster.var.iam_roles (expand)

So something is not quite right here how iam_roles are handled inside this module at all.

10.136.0.128/25 - public. - 126

10.136.1.128/25 - spare

10.136.2.0/23.  - spare

10.136.4.0/22.  - private - 1,022 hosts
10.136.8.0/22.  - private - 1,022
10.136.12.0/22. - private - 1,022
10.136.16.0/22  - spare

10.136.20.0/24. - db      - 254
10.136.21.0/24  - db      - 254
10.136.22.0/24. - db      - 254
10.136.23.0/24  - spare

10.136.24.0/24. - elasticache - 254
10.136.25.0/24  - elasticache - 254
10.136.26.0/24  - elasticache - 254
10.136.27.0/24. - spare
10.136.28.0/22. - spare

My approach here was just trying to get big private subnets for the EKS nodes, and then fit in the other subnets around this.

Hello everyone. Does anyone know if conditions likekms:*ViaService* work cross-account for KMS ? It doesn’t seem to work. ( Context is I have a central KMS acct with EKS in other accounts. Current policies are opening to arn::::root but would like to tighten it more. )

It works, at least for the scenario where KMS key is used to encrypt the AWS Backup Vault in centralized account. I could strip to OU instead of using * for principal but I would need to test that.

 statement {
    sid = "Allow attachment of persistent resources"
    actions = [
      "kms:CreateGrant",
      "kms:ListGrants",
      "kms:RevokeGrant"
    ]
    resources = ["*"]

    principals {
      type        = "AWS"
      identifiers = ["*"]
    }

    condition {
      test     = "StringLike"
      variable = "kms:ViaService"
      values = [
        "rds.${local.region}.amazonaws.com",
        "backup.${local.region}.amazonaws.com"
      ]
    }

    condition {
      test     = "Bool"
      variable = "kms:GrantIsForAWSResource"
      values   = [true]
    }

That effectively allows usage of KMS key in centralized backup account to other accounts.

• After entering UserId and Pass on the Cognito-provided login screen, I can see a first a request is done against this URL: https://auth.webapp.com/login?client_id=xxx&response_type=code&redirect_uri=https://webapp.com/auth As you may notice, the real deep link is already lost in step3 and then not passed on in the next step to https://webapp.com/auth?code=56565ab47-xxxx

Could you point me to how getting the original redirect URI to work and to take the user back to the deep link?

hey @Thomas Hoefkens! This is some very deep stuff and unfortunately I haven’t worked with Cognito (yet). You might have better luck with posting your question in https://repost.aws/, specifically under following topics:

Hey all, dealing with a rather strange issue with our KOPS based kubernetes cluster’s autoscaling group in AWS. Basically our ASG itself is terminating nodes as a form of balancing it’s trying to do between AZ. The thing is, AWS is terminating these nodes which means whatever is running on those nodes is basically shut down and restarted which is not ideal because this is a prod cluster. Our cluster-autoscaler already runs in the cluster which occasionally scales things up and down in a controlled manner while AWS is doing it’s own form of balancing that appears to be more reckless with our cluster.

Here’s an example of the error, any ideas on what could be causing this? This seems isolated to one cluster only:

At 2022-03-28T07:57:29Z instances were launched to balance instances in zones ca-central-1b ca-central-1a with other zones resulting in more than desired number of instances in the group. At 2022-03-28T07:57:49Z an instance was taken out of service in response to a difference between desired and actual capacity, shrinking the capacity from 33 to 32. At 2022-03-28T07:57:49Z instance i-xxx was selected for termination.

If you have your own auto scaling logic working, you probably want to disable the ASG’s equivalent logic (Launch and Terminate). https://docs.aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/ec2/userguide/as-suspend-resume-processes.html

Suspending and resuming a process for an Auto Scaling group - Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling

Suspend and then resume one or more of the standard processes that are built into Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling.

Yeah we ended up suspending the AZRebalance operation, looking into why this is happening in the first place though and not our other clusters

The most common reason is that AWS don’t have capacity of the instance types you request, and one AZ is floating close to zero capacity. As you scale up there’s no free capacity in one AZ, due to other customer’s pre-existing workloads. Later one, those workloads are stopped, and the rebalance occurs.

Simplest solution is to add more instance types to the ASG, for example, both m6g and m5 and m4

Can you not use a lifecycle policy?

no because mfa delete protection has been set on that bucket. that is my isue, that’s why etcd manager cannot delete old backups

Hello everyone. Please I need help. I have a terraform script that creates a mongodb cluster and nodes, but I have issue, when I want change my node from a region to another or remove a node from a region. example like I have 3 nodes in 3 region but now wants only 3 nodes in 2 regions, the terraform would want to delete the whole cluster and create a new one based on the update, at such I will loss data. I want terraform to be able to do that update without destroying the cluster. Any help will be appreciated.

you can’t change the region of a cluster without destroying it

jose.amengual avatar
jose.amengual

a region is like another Datacenter

Is it not possible to only delete the cluster but only the node in that region or by adding to another region.

jose.amengual avatar
jose.amengual

I do not think so

Regional products are created on that region

Anyone ever tried using DMS or any other AWS offering to make a copy of a prod database with obfuscated and redacted data?

Yea, I would be interested to know too

kareem.shahin

Right? Alternative is just snapshots and scripting to achieve this but a managed solution would be appealing

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

ya, would love that. it would be really nice for our customers. inevitably the obfuscation would be a bit custom, but would like to have a turnkey pattern we could implement.

That said, anyone who has tried using DMS with terraform will know it’s a real PIA. Can’t modify running jobs and no way to natively stop jobs in terraform.
