Over the Christmas break I made some time to implement changes to my AWS setup that I've been thinking of. As this invalidates some of the things I've written about in other articles I felt I should point them out here as well.

Enabling SSL on an Elastic Load Balancer in AWS is fairly straightforward and well documented, but that’s only one part of the whole process. When I needed to set it up again last week I figured that this time I would document the entire thing, from getting the keys to incorporating it into a CloudFormation template.

As I actually started writing again for this site, I found that I just wasn't happy with Wordpress. I originally chose Wordpress because it was the path of least resistance, but it turns out that it doesn't suit my needs.

When it comes to creating an infrastructure in AWS, CloudFormation is a great tool. You can use it to manage your entire infrastructure, from the initial setup to any updates and removing it all again. This article will guide you through these first steps.

When it comes to software development, quality is often a difficult thing to measure. Often you will be able to recognize it when you see it, but defining why something is well done is harder. Luckily there are a number of tools and standards out there that will enable you to put metrics against your code. This article shows an easy way to combine these.
