Not a fan of Amazon AWS service but I have someone who is. Although the cluster installation process is almost the same, there are some notes to keep in mind. These notes are done thinking you are familiar with FusionPBX, FreeSWITCH, and AWS.

Rsyslog is the Syslog server I have chosen to use. I could get Syslog-ng, but while reviewing the configuration files and having a lot of experience using the vanilla Syslog, Rsyslog seems to be the best option and the faster to work with.
By default, Rsyslog will always do the reverse resolution. This could be a double knife weapon, while sometimes it is nice having it, it makes the process slow (because the DNS takes time) and the output could be more confusing. 24-140-225-46.cpe.teksavvy.com. is harder to read than 24.140.255.46.
I will describe how I managed to disable it.

Again, this is almost a copy-and-paste recipe. This configuration will allow you to ask for a password to access a specific directory published through HTTP. It is very handy and I use it very often, so it is worth having it in an article.

RDS services are becoming very common now. Big players like AZURE, Amazon (AWS) and Google are offering them. They are very handy, you get rid of scalability problems and you only focus on your database management.
One of the features you will find, as I did, in these new services is enforced security. Which is good, as the information travels through the Internet. The bad thing is not every system is aware of using TLS/SSL connections. I will talk about how I did it in my cases.

These days, VoIP is very complex. It is hard for some people to make a difference where some elements start their role and when others end. This is the case of provisioning; provisioning is the fact of letting the SIP Endpoints pull the needed information (SIP credentials, contacts, buttons actions and more).
Usually, an IP telephone tries to pull the information using a file storage protocol like FTP, TFTP or HTTP. HTTP (or HTTPS) is the most common. I will talk about it because FusionPBX supports it out of the box, however, you are free to use whatever you want. This call depends on your IP phone brand.
