### AI overview

A tutorial explains how to automate daily AWS Athena partition creation for organization-level CloudTrail and VPC Flow Logs. It describes using Amazon S3, AWS Glue Data Catalog, CloudFormation, SAM, Lambda, DynamoDB, and EventBridge to improve query efficiency and reduce scanned data and cost.

### Source excerpt

This article's goal is to explain how to query efficiently, and at low cost with AWS Athena, AWS CloudTrail logs, or VPC Flow logs by automating the creation of Athena partitions daily. AWS CloudTrail AWS CloudTrail is a service that records all API Calls and Events for AWS Accounts, including details on calls made to your AWS Services and the Console as well. Activated at the Organization level, CloudTrail logs help you in several cases: Simplified Compliance Summarizing Accesses Security Analysis and Troubleshooting Monitoring Users and Resources Activities Governance and Investigation CloudTrail Logs are delivered in an S3 Bucket in JSON format through many small files that make these difficult to operate and request. VPC Flow Logs VPC Flow Logs is a feature that allows you to capture traffic information going to and from your network interfaces in your VPC. It helps you to: Analyze and troubleshoot network issues Determine the direction of your traffic Monitor the traffic Like CloudTrail Logs, Flow Logs are published in an S3 Bucket for all accounts in the Organization. AWS Athena AWS Athena is a query service that permits you to analyze data directly in an Amazon S3. You can create tables in Athena which use AWS Glue Data Catalog and are based on an S3 location. To query efficiently and with less scanned data and optimize the cost, we need to create some partitions. To know more about Tables, Databases, and Catalog in Athena. Automate Partitions Creation In our case, we are using CloudTrail Logs and VPC Flow Logs to detail the solution and the source code. All is done in CloudFormation and using SAM to deploy the Lambda. Global Overview We have several parts to automate the creation of our partitions. A common part containing: The Lambda is used to create partitions concerning different log types A DynamoDB table used to store partition names A specific part for each log type contains: The Glue Table with the proper structure An EventBridge Rule to trigger the

### AI overview

The article recommends seven practices for startups that expect large-company clients to require a SOC 2 report: centralized identity with 2FA, pull-request controls and CI/CD, centralized logging, infrastructure provisioning with Terraform or a similar tool, AWS CloudTrail and AssumeRole, device management with encryption and current patches, and software vendor risk tracking. It also recommends documenting basic policies.

### Source excerpt

So, you plan to sell your startup's product to big companies one day. Congratu-dolences! Really, that's probably the only reason you should care about this article. If that's not you, go forth and live your life! We'll ask no more of your time. For the rest of you: Industry people talk about SOC2 a lot, and it's taken on a quasi-mystical status, not least because it's the product of the quasi-mystical accounting industry. But what it all boils down to is: eventually you'll run into big-company clients demanding a SOC2 report to close a sale. You know this and worry about it.
