As I have been meeting with clients over that past few months, one topic that has been brought up consistently is returning to working in the office and what does that look like. Companies have a lot to think about now that COVID-19 has become an endemic. With the widespread adoption of remote work, companies are being forced to rethink their strategies.

The Pros of Returning to the Office

Collaboration: Returning to the office can provide IT teams a space for spontaneous discussions, knowledge transfer and quick problem solving. In-person interactions often lead to creative and efficient solutions to technical problems.
Data Security: Companies have made substantial investments in security policies and infrastructure in the office. Returning to the office ensures that data and systems remain within the controlled and secure environment of the company network, reducing the risk of data breaches.
Network Performance: Remote work can sometimes lead to bandwidth and connectivity issues. Returning to the office guarantees access to high-speed, reliable internet connections, ensuring that teams can work without having to worry about network limitations.
Culture: Nothing can replace in the benefit of being in person to form long lasting personal and professional relations amongst team members.

The Cons of Returning to the Office

Commute and Flexibility: IT workers may find the daily commute time-consuming and disruptive to their workflow. Remote work provides the flexibility to manage work schedules while maintaining a work-life balance. This can be challenging to replicate in and office setting.
Health Concerns: There continues to be ongoing health and safety concerns. This can be extra sensitive for IT professionals working in close quarters such as data centers or server rooms. Companies must invest in robust safety measures to make the IT professional feel safe.
Remote Work Productivity: IT professionals have reported higher productivity when working remotely due to fewer distractions.
The Home Office: The home office has evolved greatly in the past few years. Many IT professionals have heavily invested in agronomical office equipment and hardware including monitors and cameras.

I’ve heard everything from 100% remote, 2-3 days a week in the office to 100% in the office. If companies require any time on the office, they need to consider the delicate balance between the advantages of in-person collaboration and the benefits of remote work. By adopting hybrid work models, addressing health and safety concerns and maintaining a strong IT infrastructure, tech companies can make the transition as smooth as possible.

Amazon Cognito is a powerful service provided by AWS that allows you to manage user identities and authentication for your applications easily. In this short guide, I will walk you through the steps to create a Cognito User Pool, a fundamental component for handling user sign-ups, sign-ins, and identity management. Let’s get started!

Step One: Configure Sign-in Experience

Go to the Amazon Cognito Console.
Select User Pools and click on Create user pool.
Under the Configure sign-in experience, check Federated Identity providers
Check Email and Phone Number for Cognito User Pool Sign-in Options
Under the Federated sign-in options, check the desired providers (e.g., Facebook, Google, Sign in with Apple). You can configure these options later.

Step Two: Configure Security Requirements

Leave Cognito Defaults for Password Policy
Configure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) as per your security requirements.
Disable Self-Service Account Recovery

Step Three: Configure Sign-Up Experience

Disable Self-Registration
Uncheck Allow Cognito to Automatically Send Messages
Leave Required Attributes and Custom Attributes as Default

Step Four: Configure Message Delivery

Leave Email Provider as Send Email with Amazon SES
Choose Your Region
Choose an email address that you have verified with Amazon SES
Configure SMS IAM Role. (Create a new role or choose an existing role)

Step Five: Connect Federated Identity Providers

When prompted to register your app with Google, Facebook, and Apple, you can skip this step for now.

Step Six: Integrate Your App

Enter the User Pool name
Select Use a Cognito domain, and provide a unique Cognito Domain name.
For the initial app client, choose Public client, set the App client name, and choose to generate a client secret if needed.
Specify allowed callback URLs .

In this post, we will utilize terraform to create an architecture that can be used to deploy a front and backend web application. N-tier architectures are split into multiple tiers and distributed. A common N-tier architecture is the 3-tier which is made up of a presentation, application, and data tier. But this code can be scaled very easily to add more tiers if needed.

We will deploy network infrastructure, which is called a virtual network in Azure. Within that virtual network we will deploy two small subnets. To run the web application, we will use Azure App Service which is a managed PaaS service that allows you easily scale out your application by adding new instances of web apps. Azure App Service can also be used to store mobile backends and REST APIs.

Requirements:

Terraform

Azure Account

Environment Setup:

Before you start, confirm you have a valid Azure Cloud account. Also, ensure you have Terraform installed on your local machine. Terraform provides official documentation on how to do this.

Start by creating a new directory in the desired location and navigate to it. Then paste the following code to create the resource group, two private subnets, service plan and app service:

# Azure provider source and version being used
terraform {
  required_providers {
    azurerm = {
      source  = "hashicorp/azurerm"
      version = "3.75.0"
    }
  }
}

provider "azurerm" {
  features {
  }
}

# create a resource group
resource "azurerm_resource_group" "TerraformCreate" {
  name     = "TerraformCreate"
  location = "eastus"
}

# Create a vnet with two private subnets
resource "azurerm_virtual_network" "TerraformCreateVM" {
  name                = "TerraformCreateVM"
  location            = azurerm_resource_group.TerraformCreate.location
  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.TerraformCreate.name
  address_space       = ["10.0.0.0/16"]

  subnet {
    name           = "private-subnet-1"
    address_prefix = "10.0.1.0/24"
  }

  subnet {
    name           = "private-subnet-2"
    address_prefix = "10.0.2.0/24"
  }
}

# Create a app service plan and web app
resource "azurerm_service_plan" "TerraformCreateASP" {
  name                = "TerraformCreateASP"
  location            = azurerm_resource_group.TerraformCreate.location
  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.TerraformCreate.name
  os_type             = "Linux"
  sku_name            = "P1v2"
}

resource "azurerm_linux_web_app" "TerraformCreateWA" {
  name                = "TerraformCreateWA"
  location            = azurerm_resource_group.TerraformCreate.location
  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.TerraformCreate.name
  service_plan_id     = azurerm_service_plan.TerraformCreateASP.id

  site_config {
    application_stack {
      node_version = "18-lts"
    }
  }
}

Now let’s break down the above code:

We have a required terraform block that specifies the Azure provider and the version which is the latest currently. It always good to check the latest version of the Azure provider and update your code.

Next, we create a resource group, a virtual network and two private subnets. A resource group is collection of like resources to make monitoring, provisioning, access control and de-provisioning convenient and effective. A virtual network is used to house our network resources like our subnets.

From there we create a service plan and web app. Our web apps are just instances of our application that are connected to our service plan and define those resources for the application to run. In this example, we are using NodeJS on Linux instances. We are also placing all resources in the resource group. Now you might be asking why use App Service over a virtual machine. As mentioned above App Service is a managed service. That means Azure takes more off the responsibility off the hands of the customer so you can easily and quickly deploy your application. You specify your runtime, manage your data, your application and Microsoft Azure will take care of the rest. Whereas when you deploy on a virtual machine, you have more to manage like your runtime and your OS.

Creating our application stack:

Then we will run the following commands to create the above resources:

Terraform init

Terraform plan

Terraform apply

After running apply, you should see a successful apply with four resources created. Be sure to destroy any unused resources.
