When I navigate to aws datapipeline console it shows this banner,
Please note that Data Pipeline service is in maintenance mode and we are not planning to expand the service to new regions. We plan to remove console access by 02/28/2023.
Will aws datapipeline service be gone in near future?
Maintenance Mode

I wanted to know if there was a way to track alerts or audit anything that happens with the AWS account like who changed what and why. I did find this https://docs.aws.amazon.com/opensearch-service/latest/developerguide/audit-logs.html where they use a comand line for enabling audit logs on an existing domain: aws opensearch update-domain-config --domain-name my-domain --log-publishing-options "AUDIT_LOGS={CloudWatchLogsLogGroupArn=arn:aws:logs:us-east-1:123456789012:log-group:my-log-group,Enabled=true}" but this is in regard to Amazon OpenSearch Service which I believe is only free for 12 months if you haven't used already. AWS Audit Manager. I am aware there are services that can do this but require a fee and I wanted to know if there were any free options
From the AWS documentation:
With AWS CloudTrail, you can monitor your AWS deployments in the cloud by getting a history of AWS API calls for your account, including API calls made by using the AWS Management Console, the AWS SDKs, the command line tools, and higher-level AWS services. You can also identify which users and accounts called AWS APIs for services that support CloudTrail, the source IP address from which the calls were made, and when the calls occurred. You can integrate CloudTrail into applications using the API, automate trail creation for your organization, check the status of your trails, and control how administrators turn CloudTrail logging on and off.
AWS Config provides a detailed view of the resources associated with your AWS account, including how they are configured, how they are related to one another, and how the configurations and their relationships have changed over time.
Basically, AWS CloudTrail keeps a log of API calls (requests to AWS to do/change stuff), while AWS Config tracks how individual configurations have changed over time (for a limited range of resources, such as Security Group rule being changed).
We've got some data in Snowflake that we'd like to pull into our GCP environment, on a periodic basis. One of our engineers has done the equivalent setup on AWS on a previous project, using the documentation here. I find this setup to be a lot simpler than setting up a push data flow, which requires creating an integration and service account from the Snowflake side, then granting the service account some IAM permissions in GCP.
Can anyone tell me if GCP offers a similar pull-based connector API/setup for Snowflake?
I need to execute a dataflow job using a service account , I'm following a very simple and basic example wordcount offered within the same platform itself.
Which is weird is the error I'm getting:
According to this, GCP requires the service account having permissions as Dataflow worker in order to execute my job. The weir part comes over when the error kept on showing up even though I have already set the required permissions:
Can someone explain this strange behavior? thanks so much
To run a Dataflow job, a project must enable billing and the following Google Cloud Platform APIs:
Google Cloud Dataflow API
Compute Engine API (Google Compute Engine)
Google Cloud Logging API
Google Cloud Storage
Google Cloud Storage JSON API
BigQuery API
Google Cloud Pub/Sub
Google Cloud Datastore API
You should also have enough quota in the project for any one of the APIs you are using in the Dataflow job.
I would suggest you to create a fresh service account which its name has not been used before and then granting roles/dataflow.worker to this new fresh service account. Remember, that Cloud IAM propagation takes fewer than 60 seconds, up to 7 minutes, so please have a couple of minutes between an IAM change and Dataflow job creation.
Another possible workaround is to delete the Dataflow worker permission and add it again. The permission remains after the removal of the account, pointing to its old ID. This ID must not be refreshed until explicitly deleting the role.
I encourage you to visit Dataflow IAM roles with role descriptions and permissions documentation.
AWS Pinpoint Analytics appears to have replaced Amazon Mobile Analytics. In Mobile Analytics, you were able to create custom dashboards.
I'm struggling to find the feature in AWS Pinpoint. I'm assuming it's in there somewhere, but alas, I haven't found it yet.
#D.Patrick, you can create custom dashboards with Pinpoint data but not directly within Pinpoint console i.e You would need first to export your Pinpoint event data to a persistent storage (e.g S3 or Redshift) using Amazon Kinesis. Once in S3, you can use analytics tools to further analyze or visual the data. Such analytic tool offered by AWS include AWS Quicksight or AWS Athena. Other analytics(none-AWS) tools include Splunk
Check out the blog by AWS on this topic:
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/messaging-and-targeting/creating-custom-pinpoint-dashboards-using-amazon-quicksight-part-1/
The 3 parts of this session describe in detail how to use Python 3, with AWS Lambda to create the custom dashboards.
I am trying to see which user was responsible for changes in S3 (at buckets level).
I could not find a audit trail for actions done at S3 bucket level or EC2 who created instances. Beanstalk has a log of the actions the machine performed, but not which user.
Is there a way around AWS that we can see this information in IAM or any other location ?
P.S: I am not interested to know about S3 log buckets which provide access logs
Update
AWS has just announced AWS CloudTrail, finally making auditing API calls available as of today (and for free), see the introductory post AWS CloudTrail - Capture AWS API Activity for details:
Do you have the need to track the API calls for one or more AWS
accounts? If so, the new AWS CloudTrail service is for you.
Once enabled, AWS CloudTrail records the calls made to the AWS APIs
using the AWS Management Console, the AWS Command Line Interface
(CLI), your own applications, and third-party software and publishes
the resulting log files to the Amazon S3 bucket of your choice.
CloudTrail can also issue a notification to an Amazon SNS topic of
your choice each time a file is published. Each call is logged in JSON
format for easy parsing and processing.
Please note the following (temporary) constraints:
Not all services are covered yet, though the most important ones are included in the initial release already and AWS plans to add support for additional services over time.
Update: AWS has recently added Seven New Services, and another one today, see below.
More importantly, not all regions are supported yet (right now the US East (Northern Virginia), and US West (Oregon) Regions only), though AWS will be adding support for additional Regions as quickly as possible.
Update: AWS has just added More Locations and Services, quickly approaching coverage of their entire Global Infrastructure indeed.
Initial Answer
This is a long standing feature request, but unfortunately AWS does not provide (public) audit trails as of today - the most reasonable way to add this feature would probably be a respective extension to AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), which is the increasingly ubiquitous authentication and authorization layer for access to AWS resources across all existing (and almost certainly future) Products & Services.
Accordingly there are a few respective answers provided within the IAM FAQs along these lines:
Will AWS Identity and Access Management administrative actions be logged to an audit trail?:
No. This is planned for a future release.
Will user actions in AWS services be logged to an audit trail?
No. This is planned for a future release.
Current pricing for a single CloudTrail is free.
1. Enable CloudTrail
Use the CloudTrail dashboard and send all events to an S3 bucket, e.g. my-cloudtrail
2. Go Through the Results
The CloudTrail dashboard let's you do some cursory searches, but if you have many thousands of events, it's a pain to use.
Let's say I want actions for user foo_user, I just use the CLI tool:
mkdir -p /tmp/cloudtrail
cd /tmp/cloudtrail
aws s3 sync s3://mc10-cloudtrail .
cd AWSLogs
zcat `find . -type f` | jq '.Records[] | "\(.eventName) \(.userIdentity.userName)"' | grep food_user | sort | uniq
Example Output:
"CreateGrant foo_user"
"DescribeInstances foo_user"
"GetConsoleOutput foo_user"
"ModifyInstanceAttribute foo_user"
"StartInstances foo_user"
"StopInstances foo_user"
Note: S3 data events are billed differently in CloutTrail, but this is somewhat redundant, because you can just enable logging on your S3 bucket and grep those logs, or point them at Logstash/Kibana.
