AWS Instance Snapshot Restore and RDS Backup Restore
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
I need someone who can jump into my AWS account immediately and spend the next two hours getting us back online and tightening security. The site is a React front-end that has DB to an RDS instance.
Here’s what has to happen right now:
• Restore the saved recent EC2 snapshot.
• Roll the database back using the 7-day-old RDS snapshot. I already have snapshot of 17th August DB.
• Pull every available database log, trace how several tables were deleted, and find the breach of events.
• Patch the gap you discover so the same breach can’t recur. This may involve tighter IAM roles, parameter group tweaks, or additional auditing; whatever the root cause dictates.
Deliverables I expect before we close the session:
1. Running EC2 instance with the React site loading successfully.
2. Database fully restored and verified through the app.
3. A concise report (text or Markdown) that explains:
– When and how the tables were dropped
– What changes you made (IAM, security groups, snapshots, etc.)
– Recommended ongoing safeguards.
Time is critical—ASAP literally means within the next two hours. If you are confident with AWS console, CLI, RDS snapshots, and log analysis, this should be a quick win for both of us.
Please note point 3 is not urgent so first need to work only on 1 & 2.
