How to Build CI/CD Pipeline: GitHub to AWS

-
Image
 Creating a CI/CD pipeline to deploy a project from GitHub to AWS can be done using various AWS services like AWS CodePipeline, AWS CodeBuild, and optionally AWS CodeDeploy or Amazon ECS for application deployment. Below is a high-level guide on how to set up a basic GitHub to AWS pipeline: Prerequisites AWS Account : Ensure access to the AWS account with the necessary permissions. GitHub Repository : Have your application code hosted on GitHub. IAM Roles : Create necessary IAM roles with permissions to interact with AWS services (e.g., CodePipeline, CodeBuild, S3, ECS, etc.). AWS CLI : Install and configure the AWS CLI for easier management of services. Step 1: Create an S3 Bucket for Artifacts AWS CodePipeline requires an S3 bucket to store artifacts (builds, deployments, etc.). Go to the S3 service in the AWS Management Console. Create a new bucket, ensuring it has a unique name. Note the bucket name for later use. Step 2: Set Up AWS CodeBuild CodeBuild will handle the build proces

Cloud Storage as a Service Basics (2 of 3)

-
The really awesome point is cloud storage. Yes, you are storing data in cloud. But you need to understand here few good things about it.
 
What is cloud storage...
Cloud storage involves exactly what the name suggests—storing your data with a cloud service provider rather than on a local system. As with other cloud services, you access the data stored on the cloud via an Internet link.

Even though data is stored and accessed remotely, you can maintain data both locally and on the cloud as a measure of safety and redundancy. Cloud storage has a number of advantages over traditional data storage:

The benefits..
  • If you store your data on a cloud, you can get at it from any location that has Internet access. 
  • This makes it especially appealing to road warriors. 
  • Workers don’t need to use the same computer to access data nor do they have to carry around physical storage devices. 
  • Also, if your organization has branch offices, they can all access the data from the cloud provider.
The Basics: There are hundreds of different cloud storage systems, and some are very specific in what they do. Some are niche-oriented and store just email or digital pictures, while others store any type of data. Some providers are small, while others are huge and fill an entire warehouse.

One of Google’s datacenters in Oregon is the size of a football field and houses thousands of servers.

At the most rudimentary level, a cloud storage system just needs one data server connected to the Internet. A subscriber copies files to the server over the Internet, which then records the data. When a client wants to retrieve the data, he or she accesses the data server with a web-based interface, and the server then either sends the files back to the client or allows the client to access and manipulate the data itself.

How cloud storage works...

Cloud storage systems utilize dozens or hundreds of data servers. Because servers require maintenance or repair, it is necessary to store the saved data on multiple machines, providing redundancy. Without that redundancy, cloud storage systems couldn’t assure clients that they could access their information at any given time. Most systems store the same data on servers using different power supplies. That way, clients can still access their data even if a power supply fails.

Summary...
Many clients use cloud storage not because they’ve run out of room locally, but for safety. If something happens to their building, then they haven’t lost all their data.

During the import of my python script, I got the import error cannot import name datetime. My Script: datetime.py My script's intention is to find whether the minute value is odd or not. Python Logic from datetime import datetime odds = [ 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 9 , 11 , 13 , 15 , 17 , 19 , 21 , 23 , 25 , 27 , 29 , 31 , 33 , 35 , 37 , 39 , 41 , 43 , 45 , 47 , 49 , 51 , 53 , 55 , 57 , 59 ] right_this_minute = datetime.today().minute if right_this_minute in odds: print ( "This minute seems a little odd." ) else : print ( "Not an odd minute." ) ImportError I have imported my datetime.py from Linux.

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
