Elon Musk 退訂美國總統的 Twitter 帳號

先前因為 cjin 的這則推,跑去追蹤了 @BigTechAlert 這個帳號:

@BigTechAlert 這個帳號會把名人以及大企業的 Twitter 帳號所追蹤與推追蹤的行為找出來,然後發表在 Twitter 上面。

平常 @BigTechAlert 所抓出來的追蹤與退追大家也都習以為常,你去看 @BigTechAlert 的帳號也可以發現沒什麼 retweet & like。

但前幾天這則退訂通知讓不少人 retweet & like,因為是 Elom Musk 退追了 @POTUS 帳號 (也就是 President of the United States):

退追的真實原因不知道,但看到純粹覺得很有趣...

AWS WAF 提供隨時更新的 Managed Rules

AWS WAF 推出了隨時更新的 Managed Rule:「Ready-to-Use Managed Rules Now Available on AWS WAF」。

這些 ruleset 是由 3rd-party 提供的:

Choose from preconfigured RuleGroups provided in the AWS Marketplace by industry leading security experts: Alert Logic, Fortinet, Imperva, Trend Micro and TrustWave.

然後隨時更新:

Rules are automatically updated as new threats emerge and offer a wide range of protections, including OWASP Top 10 mitigations, bad-bot defenses, and virtual patching against recent CVE’s.

然後是要收費的:

Each RuleGroup is the product of a Seller’s unique expertise, made available to you at an affordable pay-as-you-go price.

AWS Marketplace 的「Managed Rules for AWS WAF - Web Application Firewall」裡拿兩家來看看。

趨勢的「Trend Micro Managed Rules for AWS WAF - WebServer (Apache, Nginx)」與「Trend Micro Managed Rules for AWS WAF - Content Management System (CMS)」都是:

Charge per month in each available region (pro-rated by the hour) $5.00 / unit
Charge per million requests in each available region $0.20 / unit

Imperva 則是提供不一樣的選擇,在「Imperva - Managed Rules for WordPress Protection on AWS WAF」是:

Charge per month in each available region (pro-rated by the hour) $30.00 / unit
Charge per million requests in each available region $0.60 / unit

而「Imperva - Managed Rules for IP Reputation on AWS WAF」則是:

Charge per month in each available region (pro-rated by the hour) $40.00 / unit
Charge per million requests in each available region $0.40 / unit

GitHub 推出安全通知的功能

剛好是之前推出 Dependency Graph 後可以拿出來善用的利用:「Introducing security alerts on GitHub」,先前提到的 Dependency Graph 則是在「A more connected universe」這邊。

Vulnerability coverage 的部份有提到範圍,至少有公開 CVE 的會納入:

Vulnerabilities that have CVE IDs (publicly disclosed vulnerabilities from the National Vulnerability Database) will be included in security alerts. However, not all vulnerabilities have CVE IDs—even many publicly disclosed vulnerabilities don't have them. We'll continue to get better at identifying vulnerabilities as our security data grows. For more help managing security issues, check out our security partners in the GitHub Marketplace.

然後這系列功能目前只支援 JavaScriptRuby,下一個應該是 Python

The dependency graph and security alerts currently support Javascript and Ruby—with Python support coming in 2018.

透過 AWS Budgets 管控 Reserved Instance 的使用率

現在可以透過 AWS Budgets 來看到 Reserved Instance 的使用率了:「Monitor your Reserved Instance utilization by receiving alerts via AWS Budgets」。

Starting today, customers can now monitor and receive alerts when their Reserved Instance (“RI”) utilization falls below the threshold they define.

算是個開頭,不過我更想請 AWS 分析有哪些機器是長年開著沒有 discount 的... 或者像是 GCP 那樣自動算 :o
