Step-by-Step Guide to Creating an AWS RDS Database Instance

-
Image
 Amazon Relational Database Service (AWS RDS) makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. Instead of managing servers, patching OS, and handling backups manually, AWS RDS takes care of the heavy lifting so you can focus on building applications and data pipelines. In this blog, we’ll walk through how to create an AWS RDS instance , key configuration choices, and best practices you should follow in real-world projects. What is AWS RDS? AWS RDS is a managed database service that supports popular relational engines such as: Amazon Aurora (MySQL / PostgreSQL compatible) MySQL PostgreSQL MariaDB Oracle SQL Server With RDS, AWS manages: Database provisioning Automated backups Software patching High availability (Multi-AZ) Monitoring and scaling Prerequisites Before creating an RDS instance, make sure you have: An active AWS account Proper IAM permissions (RDS, EC2, VPC) A basic understanding of: ...

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.

Image
 In the world of data science, automation, and general programming, working with files is unavoidable. Whether you’re dealing with CSV reports, JSON APIs, Excel sheets, or text logs, Python provides rich and easy-to-use libraries for reading different file formats. In this guide, we’ll explore how to read different files in Python , with code examples and best practices. 1. Reading Text Files ( .txt ) Text files are the simplest form of files. Python’s built-in open() function handles them effortlessly. Example: # Open and read a text file with open ( "sample.txt" , "r" ) as file: content = file.read() print (content) Explanation: "r" mode means read . with open() automatically closes the file when done. Best Practice: Always use with to handle files to avoid memory leaks. 2. Reading CSV Files ( .csv ) CSV files are widely used for storing tabular data. Python has a built-in csv module and a powerful pandas library. Using cs...

SQL Query: 3 Methods for Calculating Cumulative SUM

-
Image
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...
