Last week, we had an engaging session with our speaker guest – Amit Tidke an AWS Community Builder. This session was helpful for everyone who wanted to learn more about building and managing images using AWS Image Builder.
Golden VM images ensures consistency, security, and efficiency across your AWS infrastructure. In this session, we have explored how to leverage AWS Image Builder to use compliant golden VM images. The agenda of this session includes:
1. Importance of Hardened Golden Images: 2. Creating an Image Recipe 3. Infrastructure Configuration 4. Components and Pipelines 5. Distribution and Lifecycle
Without any further due, I would encourage you to check our recording in the Cloud Lunch and Learn (CLL) YouTube channel below.
The key strength of Kubernetes lies in its modularity and versatility. Virtually any type of application you aim to deploy can be accommodated within the Kubernetes framework, and it can handle a wide range of adjustments or optimizations to meet your specific requirements.
However, this adaptability and generality do come with a trade-off – a moderate level of complexity. It’s essential to have a solid grasp of how Kubernetes’ APIs and components function to unlock its full potential for simplifying application development, management, and deployment. Equally critical is understanding how to seamlessly integrate Kubernetes with various external systems, such as on-premise databases and continuous delivery pipelines, to make it a practical solution in real-world scenarios.
Throughout this book, authors strived to offer insights based on real-world experience, covering topics that are likely to be encountered by cloud engineers and developers, whether they are new to Kubernetes or seasoned administrators. Whether you’re exploring a new area to become an expert or seeking a refresher on familiar challenges, authors aim is to facilitate your learning journey.
By following these best practices, you can tap into authors’ collective experience to avoid common pitfalls, enhance performance and security, and gain the confidence to maximize the benefits of Kubernetes.
Thank you for reading my short review of the book, as it looks like a solid resource for real-world endeavors of cloud engineering and development!

Let’s focus on answering the main question of this post. And some of you may suspect that we will allude to Azure Arc, right?
Microsoft Azure Arc
Yes, with the Microsoft Azure Arc, you can manage servers running on-premises, at the edge, and in multi-cloud environments. And with the latest updates, now, you also get SSH access to your Linux and Windows Servers running anywhere using Azure Arc-enabled servers.
Direct Network Connectivity
Even though direct network connectivity (like SSH connection into the server) can be a challenge in hybrid and multi-cloud environments, Azure Arc-enabled servers enable this unique capability for you.
What are the Helpful References?
Well, let me mention the following important three references that will get you going in your Azure Arc journey, ok?
I hope this provides you with a good overview and resources of how you can manage and SSH access your Linux and Windows Servers anywhere using Azure Arc. And if you feel like you got a question, please, feel free to leave a comment on my LinkedIn post.
