8 Ways to Optimize AWS Glue Jobs in a Nutshell

-
Image
  Improving the performance of AWS Glue jobs involves several strategies that target different aspects of the ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process. Here are some key practices. 1. Optimize Job Scripts Partitioning : Ensure your data is properly partitioned. Partitioning divides your data into manageable chunks, allowing parallel processing and reducing the amount of data scanned. Filtering : Apply pushdown predicates to filter data early in the ETL process, reducing the amount of data processed downstream. Compression : Use compressed file formats (e.g., Parquet, ORC) for your data sources and sinks. These formats not only reduce storage costs but also improve I/O performance. Optimize Transformations : Minimize the number of transformations and actions in your script. Combine transformations where possible and use DataFrame APIs which are optimized for performance. 2. Use Appropriate Data Formats Parquet and ORC : These columnar formats are efficient for storage and querying, signif

Cloud Security the real challenges you need to look in

cloud challenges
You may curious that cloud computing will solve all your problems. In reality, there is security problem. That is- data security problem. I am just explaining my thoughts on data security in cloud. Really many security professional need in future.

Data is crucial to any organization. When data leaks into public, organization may collapse and loose its business.

Try to understand where we lack on data security.




Challenges in data security

Existing Methods


The challenge in addressing this threats of data loss and data leakage is that "the measures you put in place to mitigate one can exacerbate the other," according to the report.

You could encrypt your data to reduce the impact of a breach, but if you lose your encryption key, you'll lose your data. However, if you opt to keep offline backups of your data to reduce data loss, you increase your exposure to data breaches.

Cloud security problems


  1. Data loss: the prospect of seeing your valuable data disappear into the ether without a trace. A malicious hacker might delete a target's data out of spite -- but then, you could lose your data to a careless cloud service provider or a disaster, such as a fire, flood, or earthquake. Compounding the challenge, encrypting your data to ward off theft can backfire if you lose your encryption key.
  2. Legal issues: Data loss isn't only problematic in terms of impacting relationships with customers, the report notes. You could also get into hot water with the feds if you're legally required to store particular data to remain in compliance with certain laws, such as HIPAA.
  3. Hijacking: The third-greatest cloud computing security risk is account or service traffic hijacking. Cloud computing adds a new threat to this landscape, according to CSA. If an attacker gains access to your credentials, he or she can eavesdrop on your activities and transactions, manipulate data, return falsified information, and redirect your clients to illegitimate sites. "Your account or services instances may become a new base for the attacker. From here, they may leverage the power of your reputation to launch subsequent attacks," according to the report. As an example, CSA pointed to an XSS attack on Amazon in 2010 that let attackers hijack credentials to the site.

How to Check Kafka Available Brokers

Here's the command to check the list of brokers present in a Kafka Cluster. You can say the Broker is the heart of the Kafka cluster. In simple terms, it works as a process. The main function is to receive messages from publishers and gives permission to access messages by consumers. How to Check Available Brokers in Kafka Here is the command: linux$  ./zookeeper-shell.sh zookeeper-IPaddress:2181 | "ls /brokers/ids" Just use the above command to get the number of brokers present in your host (Kafka Cluster). What is Default Broker-id in Kafka  The default broker id is -1 . When you create a new broker, it adds to -1. Then, it gives a new broker id. The broker ids will be generated from  reserved.broker.max.id + 1. Types of broker ids. Use assigned Zookeeper generated broker id. According to Wiki: Kafka runs on a cluster of one or more servers (called brokers), and the partitions of all topics are distributed across the cluster nodes.  Additionally, partitions are replicat

SQL Query: 3 Methods for Calculating Cumulative SUM

-

SQL provides various constructs for calculating cumulative sums, offering flexibility and efficiency in data analysis. In this article, we explore three distinct SQL queries that facilitate the computation of cumulative sums. Each query leverages different SQL constructs to achieve the desired outcome, catering to diverse analytical needs and preferences. Using Window Functions (e.g., PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle) SELECT id, value, SUM(value) OVER (ORDER BY id) AS cumulative_sum  FROM your_table; This query uses the SUM() window function with the OVER clause to calculate the cumulative sum of the value column ordered by the id column. Using Subqueries (e.g., MySQL, SQLite): SELECT t1.id, t1.value, SUM(t2.value) AS cumulative_sum FROM your_table t1 JOIN your_table t2 ON t1.id >= t2.id GROUP BY t1.id, t1.value ORDER BY t1.id; This query uses a self-join to calculate the cumulative sum. It joins the table with itself, matching rows where the id in the first table is greater than or
