Study Notes

DevOps

Sonar Cube can be deleted and configured via Jenkins
Maven is used for building Java applications.
Declarative Pipeline Syntax is not the only way to write a Jenkins file.
Scripted Pipeline is a more recent feature in Jenkins.
You can trigger a Jenkins job only if the previous job is successful via the Trigger only if the build is stable option.
Changing the pipeline script from SCM will allow you to tell Jenkins the URL of a specific GitLab code repository.
Con expressions can be used to automate Jenkins jobs that are manually triggered.
example: using a time condition to trigger a job at 6:00 AM every day.

AWS

Rebooting an EBS-backed EC2 instance does not mean it will be running on a new host computer.
To better view data on a CloudWatch graph, you can select the Y axis that plots CPU utilization data.
Stopping and then restarting an EBS-backed instance does not disassociate the Elastic IP from the instance.
Cost Allocation Tags and AWS billing reports can be used to find the cost distribution for different types of EC2 instances deployed in a region.
The default maintenance window will be utilized if a user has not specified the maintenance window for an RDS instance.
Auto Scaling does not perform the action of rebooting instances.
Deleting a VPC with a running NAT instance will not be allowed.
If a CloudFormation stack fails during the process of creating resources, it will rollback all created services.
ELB will intercept the request to add the cookie details if sticky session is enabled.
You do not need AWS login ID to login to the console to create an AMI from an instance store backed AMI.
you will need an SSH key, an instance ID and a user's credentials to login to the instance to create a new AMI.
When an EBS-backed EC2 instance is stopped and the EBS volumes are detached, the alarms on the EBS volume will show the status of Insufficient Data.
Deleting a subnet with a running instance will not be allowed.
Taking a snapshot from standby Replica will not help reduce latency caused by the Multi AZ feature in a small RDS MySQL DB.
10.0.0.255 cannot be the correct IP address assigned to an instance in a public or private subnet within a VPC with CIDR 10.0.0.0/24.
64 unicode characters is the maximum length of a tag key.
- Maximum value of a tag value length is 256 unicode characters.
An IAM role attached to the organization's authentication service is the best solution for providing access to various AWS services for a large organization.
Defining launch permissions is not a step performed while creating an AMI from an instance store backed AMI.
ELB connection draining helps stop sending new requests traffic to an instance while continuing in-flight requests.
s3:DeleteObject permissions in an S3 policy are equivalent to WRITE ACL Permission on a bucket.
Using CLI, you can schedule autoscaling group only up to 30 days in advance.
Auto Scaling will through an error if two conflicting schedules (daily and monthly) are set up.
DiskReadBytes will always display a 0 value in CloudWatch monitoring on an EBS backed EC2 instance.
You can define tags on the Development and production servers and add a condition to the IAM Policy for improved security in a VPC with production and development instances.

Azure

To restrict MFA to only connections to the Exchange Online mailbox, you need to configure Azure MFA for the specific service principal used to connect to Exchange Online.
