HumanGov: Model Automated Multi-Tenant Architecture (MAMA) | Terraform | AWS CodeCommit | Git | AWS S3 | Amazon DynamoDB | AWS EC2 | AWS CLI | AWS Cloud9, A Three-Part Series

This project is about establishing cloud infrastructure for a Model Automated Multi-Tenant Architecture (MAMA), HumanGov. Each tenant (state = tenant in this case) will have their own EC2 instance, their own S3 bucket, and their own DynamoDB. (For example, Missouri and Kansas will have separate infrastructures.) The states wanted a Reusable, Multi-Tenant Software as a Service (SaaS) Application Infrastructure for dinner, and MAMA will feed it to them. This is a three part series:

HumanGov: Model Automated Multi-Tenant Architecture (MAMA) Part 1 of 3: MAMA in the Cloud (AWS EC2, AWS S3 and Amazon DynamoDB) using Terraform and AWS CLI on AWSCloud9

HumanGov: Model Automated Multi-Tenant Architecture (MAMA) Part 2 of 3: Storing MAMA Project State File in the Cloud (AWS S3 and Amazon DynamoDB) using Terraform and AWS CLI on AWSCloud9

HumanGov: Model Automated Multi-Tenant Architecture (MAMA) Part 3 of 3: Storing MAMA Project Configuration Files in the Cloud (AWS Codecommit) using Terraform and Git on AWSCloud9

Orphaned No More: Adopting AWS Lambda

Background HumanGov is a Model Automated Multi-Tenant Architecture (MAMA) that is meant to be used by the 50 states for personnel tracking. Currently the architecture is fully automated on AWS. The architecture is not ready for go-live. All actions so far are for a proof-of-concept that is presented to the Chief Technical Officer (CTO) for review. During the weekly team meeting, Ko (User Experience Lead) reports that his team has performed thousands of tests against the infrastructure, with moves, adds, and changes, and is not finding any issues in the application user interface. Woo (Infrastructure Lead) reports that there are hundreds of 'orphaned' files in the S3 bucket. (These files are considered 'orphaned' because they do not have corresponding records in the DynamoDB table.) Kim (Tech Lead) reports that there is not a trigger to delete the file from the bucket when a user is deleted from the DynamoDB database. Brady (Lawyer) reports that not deleting t...

The architecture is not ready for go-live. All actions so far are for a proof-of-concept that is presented to the Chief Technical Officer (CTO) for review. During the weekly team meeting, Woo (Tech Lead) reports that the applications have had several issues and none of the technical staff was aware of the problem. Ko (Operations Lead) reports that notification about issues comes from the end users and not from the infrastructure. Kim (Lead Developer) reports that the team wants to receive any notifications about application issues via their Slack channel. You first get the team to agree on the set of problems (and root cause): Problem 1: Developers unaware of application issues. (Applications are not monitored.) Problem 2: Notification of issues comes from the end user. (Application...

CISSP FAQ for Veterans

> What is the CISSP? > Do jobs requiring the CISSP pay well? > Where can I obtain more information on the CISSP? > What must I do to earn the CISSP credential? > What are these domains that it keeps referring to? > How can a veteran meet the domain experience requirements? > What about endorsement? > How do I maintain the CISSP credential? > How do I prepare for the exam? > How long must I study for the exam? > Any test-taking strategies? > How can I offset the exam costs? > Where can I register to take the exam? > How long before I receive my credentials? > About the author. Note: This FAQ is veteran-focused, and may mention a few resources that are veteran-specific, but for the most part, anyone curious about the certification may find the information useful. I attempted to avoid the use of military-specific acronyms, in order to make this FAQ more palatable to those outside the Department of Defense (DoD). > What is the CISSP? Bac...
