Overview of this book

Discover how to perform a complete forensic investigation of large-scale Hadoop clusters using the same tools and techniques employed by forensic experts. This book begins by taking you through the process of forensic investigation and the pitfalls to avoid. It will walk you through Hadoop’s internals and architecture, and you will discover what types of information Hadoop stores and how to access that data. You will learn to identify Big Data evidence using techniques to survey a live system and interview witnesses. After setting up your own Hadoop system, you will collect evidence using techniques such as forensic imaging and application-based extractions. You will analyze Hadoop evidence using advanced tools and techniques to uncover events and statistical information. Finally, data visualization and evidence presentation techniques are covered to help you properly communicate your findings to any audience.

Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) is a scalable relational database service in the cloud.

No changes are required in your application code to connect to RDS, that is, the code you are already using to connect to databases can be used with Amazon RDS.

Database instances using Amazon RDS's MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, and Oracle engines can be provisioned with General Purpose (SSD) storage, Provisioned IOPS (SSD) storage, or Magnetic storage. If your application needs predictable and consistent I/O performance, you can choose Provisioned IOPS (SSD) instead of using General Purpose (SSD) or Magnetic storage.

You can access RDS via the AWS Management Console, CLI, or API calls. RDS allows to you to efficiently scale compute and storage capacities. In addition...
