My Automated Lab project: #6 Create a S3 Bucket with Terraform

Luca Dell'Oca, October 24, 2023

To complete my setup, once I deployed all my virtual machines in the previous articles, I also need a S3 bucket to be later used in Veeam as an object storage. And obviously, I can also automated this part with Terraform.

Using AWS credentials in Powershell scripts

Luca Dell'Oca, March 24, 2020March 21, 2020

Lately I was updating a couple of my scripts, and when I re-used my script that automatically updates AWS records for Let's Encrypt DNS challenges, I realised that I never stored my AWS credentials anywhere, but I was just using those cached into my powershell environment. Time to have some proper credential management.

Configure Veeam N2WS copies to S3 and export them via backup copies

Luca Dell'Oca, May 2, 2019April 20, 2019

In my previous post, I talked about Veeam N2WS Backup and Recovery (known previously as CPM) and how to configure it to protect different AWS accounts. Now that the configuration is ready, it’s time to protect the virtual machines, and to export them into S3 so that we can have an offsite copy using Veeam Backup & Replication.

Luca Dell'Oca, April 23, 2019April 20, 2019

I started a few weeks ago to deep dive into our solutions for Amazon Web Services, using N2WS Backup & Recovery. One of the things I’ve learned is how to create a dedicated account to protect other accounts.

Automatic restore of multiple machines from Veeam to AWS

Luca Dell'Oca, February 26, 2019February 25, 2019

A couple of weeks ago I presented to a customer Veeam's integration with AWS services, specifically the Direct Restore to EC2 feature. He was really interested, but he also immediately thought about possible large scenarios of this feature. This solution is not a Disaster Recovery technology, since a machine is not replicated into EC2, ready to be powered on, but it's rather a backup that is uploaded and then imported into EC2. But still, massive migrations or the creation of dev/test environments from a production copy were really nice use cases.
