File: solutions/latest/prebid-server-deployment-on-aws/architecture-details.md

Summary

Removed Amazon ElastiCache from architecture services list and deleted its dedicated section. Changed AWS WAF role from 'Supporting' to 'Core'. Updated log rotation parameters (removed 'analytics' from metrics logs description).

Security assessment

The change elevates AWS WAF's importance to a core component, directly relating to security infrastructure. However, there's no evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability. The ElastiCache removal impacts caching but doesn't indicate security remediation.

-DataSync is configurated to periodically move rotated log files from each Prebid Server container’s EFS location to an equivalent location in the `DataSyncLogsBucket` S3 bucket. After each file is copied to S3 and verified, it is removed from the EFS file system through a clean-up Lambda function. Essentially, only actively written log files are retained on the EFS file system until the Prebid Server process closes it, rotates it, and starts a new file. Rotated log files are migrated with DataSync. Runtime logs are rotated every 24 hours or when reaching 100 MB. Metrics and analytics logs are rotated every one hour or when reaching 100 MB.
