Question: Why does Amazon Redshift run the COPY ANALYZE process when STATUPDATE is turned off?

I tried to use the COPY command to load data into a new table in Amazon Redshift. I even added the COMPUPDATE OFF parameter. Why does COPY ANALYZE still run?Short descriptionBefore you create a table in Amazon Redshift, select the distribution style of your table. If a table doesn't specify a distribution style, it defaults to AUTO distribution. Amazon Redshift's AUTO distribution feature then uses the COPY ANALYZE process to determine whether the table should use EVEN or ALL distribution.Note: The COMPUPDATE OFF parameter still runs COPY ANALYZE on tables using an AUTO distribution style. The STATUPDATE OFF parameter does not disable or repress the COPY ANALYZE command.Resolution1.    Verify the current distribution style of a table by running a SHOW TABLE:SHOW TABLE [schema_name.]table_nameNote: By default, Amazon Redshift applies AUTO distribution if a distribution style isn't specified in the CREATE TABLE statement.2.    If AUTO distribution is turned on, then create a table with a defined distribution style. Specifying a distribution style prevents COPY ANALYZE from running.The following example specifies an EVEN distribution style:create table rs_example_test (id int)diststyle even;For more information about distribution styles, see Working with data distribution styles.3.    Use the COPY command to load the data into your table, and then append it with the STATUPDATE OFF parameters.Note: It's a best practice to use the COPY command to load large amounts of data, instead of using individual INSERT statements. This minimizes the risk of performance issues.4.    Run a query on the SVL_STATEMENTTEXT system table, and then filter by the process ID (PID) related to your session:select userid, xid, pid, trim(label) as label, starttime, endtime, sequence, trim(type) as type, left(text,60) text from svl_statementtext where pid = 26815 order by xid, starttime, sequence;The syntax above checks whether COPY ANALYZE ran as part of the COPY transaction.The output will look similar to the following:userid      xid            pid    label      starttime            endtime               sequence     type      text100       78915    26815   default      2019-03-19  14:06:19    2019-03-19 14:06:21   0             QUERY      copy rs_test3 from 's3://xxxxx-rs-log/AWSLogs/rs_test2.csv'\100       78915    26815   default      2019-03-19  14:06:21    2019-03-19 14:06:21   0             UTILITY  COMMITThis confirms that COPY ANALYZE no longer runs as part of the COPY transaction.

Question: Why can't my third-party SSL provider verify my Route 53 domain ownership?

I host my domain on Amazon Route 53. However, a third-party SSL provider can't verify my domain ownership and therefore can't issue an SSL certificate.

ResolutionThird-party SSL providers require domain owners to create a DNS record to verify domain ownership. To create a DNS record, complete the following steps.Note: If you have an SSL from AWS Certificate Manager, then use DNS to validate your domain ownership. If you don't have permission to modify DNS records, then use email to validate your domain ownership.Open the Route 53 console.Choose Hosted zones.Select your domain name and choose Go to Record Sets.Choose Create Record Set.For Record name, enter the unique DNS name of the validation record from your SSL provider.Note: If your SSL provider requires that you create the record at the root of your domain (example.com), then leave the Record name field blank. However, you can't leave this field black for CNAME validation records.For Type, choose the record type required for validation by your SSL provider. Typically, the type is TXT or CNAME.Enter the value that you received from your SSL provider in the Value field.Choose Create.After you create the record, check if your CNAME resolves correctly. To check your record, use any DNS record lookup tool, such as dig or nslookup:$ dig CNAME _test.example.com$ nslookup _test.example.com -type=CNAMEIf the DNS lookup returns the correct value of your validation record, then Route 53 successfully propagated your CNAME record. Your SSL provider can resolve the validation record and issue your SSL certificate for the domain.The time frame to receive a certificate after the record resolves depends on your SSL provider systems. For some third-party providers, it can take up to 72 hours to receive an SSL certificate.

Question: Why are the emails that I send using Amazon SES getting marked as spam?

The emails that I send using Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) are landing in recipient spam folders. How can I prevent my emails from getting flagged as spam?Short descriptionAn email that lands in a spam folder indicates that Amazon SES successfully delivered the email to the recipient's mail server. After the email is delivered, Amazon SES has no control over the email and can't guarantee inbox placement. Internet service providers (ISPs) use different mechanisms and algorithms to filter emails to place them in either the recipient's inbox folder or spam folder.

ResolutionThe following are steps that you can take to minimize the chances of your emails landing in a recipient's spam folder:Send high-quality email. Although you can't control the mechanisms that ISPs use to filter email, there are a number of ways that you can maximize your email deliverability. For more information, see Understanding email deliverability in Amazon SES.Authenticate your emails. When you authenticate your email, you verify that you're the owner of the account. To learn how you can authenticate your emails, see Email authentication methods.Monitor your Amazon SES sender reputation. Use the information from the reputation metrics page in the Amazon SES console to handle the bounces and complaints. Make sure that you maintain a bounce rate under 5 percent, and a complaint rate under 0.1 percent.If you use a dedicated IP address, then you can maintain your IP address reputation by isolating your sender reputation.To learn more about best practices for sending emails with Amazon SES, see Tips and best practices.If you followed all best practices and your emails still land in the spam folder, then contact the ISP for more information about their spam classification.

Question: How do I expand the Amazon EBS root volume of my Amazon EC2 Linux instance?

How do I use Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) Elastic Volumes functionality to expand the EBS root volume of my Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Linux instance?Short descriptionExpand the EBS root volume of EC2 Linux running on a current generation instance without detaching and reattaching the volume by using the Amazon EBS Elastic Volumes feature. To expand the EBS root volume of EC2 Linux running on a previous generation instance, you must detach and then reattach the volume.

ResolutionNote: If you receive errors when running AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) commands, make sure that you’re using the most recent AWS CLI version.Before modifying your EBS volume1.    Review the requirements when modifying volumes to avoid failure during modification.2.    Review the best practices for volume performance on Linux instances. This will allow the modified volume to provide the performance characteristics required for your scenario.3.    Review how to modify your EBS volume to identify and address any potential issues before you expand your volume. For example, volumes attached to current generation instances before November 3, 2016 require that you either stop and restart the instance or that you detach and reattach the volume to initialize the Amazon EBS Elastic Volumes feature. This is a one-time requirement.Warning: Stopping an instance erases the data on any instance store volumes. Therefore, if you have any data on instance store volumes that you want to keep, be sure to back it up to persistent storage.To determine your volume's creation date, open the Amazon EC2 console, and then choose Volumes. The Created field lists the volume's creation date.To display the volume's most recent attachment time, which might be more recent than the creation time, use the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI).The following command issues a query for volumes that were most recently attached before the cutoff date:aws ec2 describe-volumes --region us-east-1 --query "Volumes[?Attachments[?AttachTime<='2016-11-01']].{ID:VolumeId}" --output textThe output is a text list of IDs for volumes that need attention:vol-0EXAMPLEvol-5EXAMPLEvol-4EXAMPLEvol-bEXAMPLEvol-0db1c57561EXAMPLEvol-06f90d0c16EXAMPLEIf you can't use Amazon EBS Elastic Volumes, then expand the EBS root volume of your EC2 Linux instances.Modify the EBS volume1.    Use Amazon EBS Elastic Volumes for EC2 instances. Request modifications to your EBS volumes to expand the EBS root volume of your EC2 Linux instance.2.    Extend the Linux file system after you expand the EBS root volume of your EC2 Linux instance.

Question: How do I modify the IPv4 CIDR block of my Amazon VPC?

I want to change the IPv4 CIDR block of my Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC).

Short descriptionIt's not possible to change or modify the IP address range of an existing virtual private cloud (VPC) or subnet. However, you can do one of the following:Add an additional IPv4 CIDR block as a secondary CIDR to your VPC.Create a new VPC with your preferred CIDR block and then migrate the resources from your old VPC to the new VPC (if applicable).

ResolutionAdd a secondary IPv4 CIDR block to your VPCTo extend the IPv4 address range of your VPC, see Add an IPv4 CIDR block to your VPC. Make sure that you follow the CIDR block association restrictions.If your depleted CIDR block is a secondary CIDR block, then associate another CIDR block with a new IP address range.Note: By default, a local route is added to all routing tables in the VPC for every CIDR block associated with the VPC. This allows you to route traffic between the primary and secondary CIDR resources without additional routing. To restrict unintended traffic, use security groups and network access control lists (network ACLs).Create a new VPC with a different IPv4 CIDR block and migrate your resources (if applicable)If extending your VPC's IP address range with an additional IPv4 CIDR block isn't an option, you can create a new VPC with your preferred IPv4 CIDR block. Then, manually migrate all of your existing resources to the new VPC (if applicable).Note: After you complete migrating all of the resources to your new VPC, you can delete all underlying resources in your old VPC. You can delete all of the following:Terminating all instances running in the VPC.Deleting all security groups associated with the VPC (except the default one).Deleting all route tables associated with the VPC (except the default one),Deleting any other resources as needed.After you delete the underlying resources, you can delete your old VPC.

Question: How do I issue a bulk upload to a DynamoDB table?

I want to upload data in bulk to my Amazon DynamoDB table.

ResolutionTo upload data to DynamoDB in bulk, use one of the following options.BatchWriteItemTo issue multiple PutItem calls simultaneously, use the BatchWriteItem API operation. You can also use parallel processes or threads in your code to issue multiple parallel  BatchWriteItem API calls. This makes the data load faster.AWS Data PipelineIf the data is in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), then you can use AWS Data Pipeline to export to DynamoDB. Data Pipeline automates the process of creating an Amazon EMR cluster and exporting your data from Amazon S3 to DynamoDB in parallel BatchWriteItem requests. When you use Data Pipeline, you don't have to write the code for the parallel transfer. For more information, see Importing data from Amazon S3 to DynamoDB.Import Table featureIf the data is stored in Amazon S3, then you can upload the data to a new DynamoDB table using the Import Table feature. This feature supports CSV, DynamoDB JSON, or Amazon ION format in either compressed (GZIP or ZSTD) or uncompressed format. For more information, see DynamoDB data import from Amazon S3: how it works.Amazon EMRTo upload data to DynamoDB with Amazon EMR and Apache Hive, complete the following steps:1.    Create an EMR cluster:For Release, choose emr-5.30.0 or later.For Applications, choose an option that includes Hive.2.    Create an external Hive table that points to the Amazon S3 location for your data.3.    Create another external Hive table, and point it to the DynamoDB table.4.    Use the INSERT OVERWRITE command to write data from Amazon S3 to DynamoDB. For more information, see Importing data to DynamoDB.AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS)You can use AWS DMS to export data from a relational database to a DynamoDB table. For more information, see Using an Amazon DynamoDB database as a target for AWS Database Migration Service.AWS GlueIf you exported your upload data to Amazon S3 from a different DynamoDB table using the DynamoDB export feature, then use AWS Glue. This option is efficient for uploading large datasets. This is because the export feature uses the DynamoDB backup functionality, and it doesn't scan the source table. AWS Glue doesn't impact the performance or availability of the source table. For more information, see Using AWS Glue with Amazon DynamoDB as source and sink.

Question: What should I consider before purchasing a Savings Plan?

I plan to commit to a specific amount of compute power for a long period of time. What factors should I consider before purchasing a Savings Plan?ResolutionConsider the following when deciding if Savings Plans are right for you.Long-term contractsSavings Plans have long contract terms (usually, one or three years). Therefore, it's a best practice to purchase Savings Plans when you plan to commit to a consistent amount of usage over the long term.Payment OptionsSavings Plans are available with three different payment options:No Upfront option doesn't require any upfront payment. Your commitment will be charged on a monthly basis.Partial Upfront option requires at least half of your payment upfront. The remaining is charged on a monthly basis.All Upfront option offers the lowest prices. Your entire commitment is charged in one payment.If your account is in an organization's consolidated billing family, then additional considerations might apply. For more information, see How is the pricing benefit of a Savings Plan applied across an organization's consolidated bill?Canceling and modifying a Savings PlanSavings Plans can't be modified or canceled. You can increase your hourly commitment by purchasing additional Savings Plans. You can queue your Savings Plan purchases for a specific date and time in the future. For more information, see Can I schedule my Savings Plan to renew automatically?Savings Plans, like Reserved Instances, are limited to the account that purchases them. They can't be transferred across accounts, but benefits that are purchased through AWS Organizations can be shared within that organization.Capacity reservations and short-term discountsSavings Plans don't provide a Capacity Reservation. If you're interested in the capacity reservation but not Savings Plans, then you might want to use On-Demand Capacity Reservations.For short-term discounts on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, consider launching a Spot Instance instead.Pricing and purchasing a Savings PlanFor pricing information for Savings Plans, see Compute Savings Plans and Machine Learning Savings Plans.To complete a Savings Plan purchase, see Purchasing Savings Plans.To purchase Savings Plans using APIs, see Savings Plans API Reference.
