Replica: https://www.lozanomatheus.com/post/aws-client-vpn-connect-using-openvpn
Introduction
The idea of this post is to show how you can use OpenVPN Connect to establish a tunnel with AWS, by using AWS Client VPN. I’ll explain how AWS Client VPN works in a later post.
OpenVPN is free and open-source software (FOSS) under the GNU GPLv2 license. OpenVPN Connect is a VPN client and is currently available for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS and Windows.

A CLI tool that can easily manage more than 281 runtimes, and it’s easy to add custom runtimes/plugins. It’s open-source!
Introduction
There are many tools out there that promise to manage multiple runtimes and/or runtime versions, some are exclusive to a specific language, like the pyenv and others can manage multiple runtimes, but it’s not easy to switch between the versions of the same runtime, like the Homebrew (You can unlink/link, but in my opinion, it’s too unstable).
Here comes the asdf, yes, this is the name. Simple name, simple to use! asdf is an open-source tool under the MIT License. Currently, it supports 281 runtimes, also known as plugins. …

About this post
It’s mainly focused on the variable scopes, their differences, when/where to use each of them, etc. I start this post because I see there is a lot of misunderstanding/misuse of the Bash variables. It can be very confusing, complex and I hope this post will help you to know more about the Bash variables, including Bash environment variables.
The types
There are three types of Bash variables: Array, Integer and String. It’s possible to cast/convert the values between all of them, except string to integer (in this case, Bash will set to 0). …

There are many best practices that can improve your Cloud environment, the multi-account AWS environment is one of them.
The multi-account environment
It’s basically having multiple accounts for specific goals, could be per team, per environment, per project. AWS is very flexible in terms of how to achieve a multi-account environment, you can choose how you want to split your accounts.
There are a lot of good things you’ll get by following this best-practice, like centralized management (consolidated billing, accounts, etc), define policies per account or Organizational Unit (like audit/log is mandatory, tag policy, MFA is mandatory, etc) and many other things.
The options
You can achieve the multi-account environment by using the AWS Organizations and/or AWS Control Tower.
