Resolved: Adding MX Record(s) in AWS

on
 Recently, I was migrating MX records from WIX to AWS. I was using GSuite and I was unable to do the same. Then after a little bit of research, I found this stackoverflow link , which helped me resolve the problem. Here is how you should be adding the records in AWS. Record Name: @ Record Type: MX Value: <Priority> <Route Traffic to> example: 10 aspx.alt1.google.com And if you have multiple records, simply add the records in the same text area in the new line and no commas. This will resolve your problem. :)

MSIgnite | The Tour: to ignite your mind

on




While I am still at Chhatrapati Shivaji Airport, Mumbai and have some time for my flight, I wanted to take this time to jot down and share my experience of attending MSIgnite | The Tour Mumbai.


It was an amazing tour where my wife and I attended the MSIgnite The Tour Mumbai 2019 event and we visited a couple of places in Mumbai.
I have been spreading awareness about the Microsoft Azure, Azure DevOps and other Microsoft Technologies from more than a year now. I was a speaker at Global Azure Bootcamp Chandigarh in 2018 and 2019, spoke at Global Office 365 2018 and organized Azure Devops Community Launch Mohali 2018 but attending MSIgnite event was gigantic and fantastic experience. It's like at a single place you can learn a lot, can meet the experts, do the networking, have lot of fun and get inspired.
Some of the key things that I learnt there is:

  1. AI, Machine Learning and Cloud Computing is at boom with no doubts.
  2. Microsoft provides a huge number of sources like Microsoft Learn Platform, Pluralsight courses of Microsoft Azure are free and other Microsoft Learning partners are there where one can learn.
  3. Microsoft has ease the job of making use of containers with Azure Kubernetes Service but beware it is costly.
  4. Provisioning of resources should be the part of CI\CD including the tasks that validates your template. This is huge and important. There was a complete track running i.e. OperatingApplications and Infrastructure in the cloud.
  5. I won't say use just Microsoft. The time has come where we should be approaching solutions with hybrid stacks. Use the one that suits your business case the best. Like Microsoft provides Managed Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure Databricks which are making use of Open Source technologies like Kubernetes and Apache Spark respectively.
  6. Teams is being awesome especially with the features like finding what is important to you in a video meeting.
  7. Being a commandline junky will help. Use shell.azure.com as much as possible.
  8. VSCode extensions for Azure, Docker, Arm Templates will boost your productivity.
  9. Serverless is the future and the Serverless solutions with Azure functions can save drastically for you for they have the strong ability to scale as per the demand.
  10. Create solutions with Security In depth concepts.
  11. I'll share more but this is it for now and we enjoyed Juhu beach, Siddhivinayak Temple, Taraporewala Acquarium, Gateway of India and Elephanta Caves!
  12. Keep learning, keep enjoying :)
