Scraping Website: How to Write a Script in Python

-
Image
Here's a python script that you can use as a model to scrape a website. Python script The below logic uses BeautifulSoup Package for web scraping. import requests from bs4 import BeautifulSoup url = 'https://www.example.com' response = requests.get(url) soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser') # Print the title of the webpage print(soup.title.text) # Print all the links in the webpage for link in soup.find_all('a'):     print(link.get('href')) In this script, we first import the Requests and Beautiful Soup libraries. We then define the URL we want to scrape and use the Requests library to send a GET request to that URL. We then pass the response text to Beautiful Soup to parse the HTML contents of the webpage. We then use Beautiful Soup to extract the title of the webpage and print it to the console. We also use a for loop to find all the links in the webpage and print their href attributes to the console. This is just a basic example, but

SAN: Real Architecture Explained

-
A SAN is connected behind the servers. SANs provide block-level access to shared data storage. Block level access refers to the specific blocks of data on a storage device as opposed to file level access. One file will contain several blocks.
The simplified SAN architecture to understand how data is stored in storage from servers





Storage Area Networks (SANs)
  • SANs provide high availability and robust business continuity for critical data environments. SANs are typically switched fabric architectures using Fibre Channel (FC) for connectivity.
  • The term switched fabric refers to each storage unit being connected to each server via multiple SAN switches also called SAN directors which provide redundancy within the paths to the storage units. This provides additional paths for communications and eliminates one central switch as a single point of failure.
  • Ethernet has many advantages similar to Fibre Channel for supporting SANs. Some of these include high speed, support of a switched fabric topology, widespread interoperability, and a large set of management tools.
  • In a storage network application, the switch is the key element. With the significant number of Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports shipped, leveraging IP and Ethernet for storage is a natural progression for some environments. 
SAN Vs IP
  1. IP was developed as an open standard with complete interoperability of components. Two new IP storage network technologies are Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and SCSI over IP (iSCSI). IP communication across a standard IP network via Fibre Channel Tunneling or storage tunneling has the benefit of utilizing storage in locations that may exceed the directly attached limit of nearly 10 km when using fiber as the transport medium.
  2. Internal to the data center, legacy Fibre Channel can also be run over coaxial cable or twisted pair cabling, but at significantly shorter distances.
  3. The incorporation of the IP standard into these storage systems offers performance benefits through speed, greater availability, fault tolerance, and scalability. These solutions, properly implemented, can almost guaranty 100% availability of data. The IP based management protocols also provide network managers with a new set of tools, warnings, and triggers that were proprietary in previous generations of storage technology. Security and encryption solutions are also greatly enhanced. With 10G gaining popularity and the availability of new faster WAN links, these solutions can offer true storage on demand.

Here are seven amazing Infosys AWS interview questions for your quick reference. These are also asked in TCS. Infosys and TCS AWS interview questions 1). What is AWS? Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides on-demand computing resources and services in the cloud, with pay-as-you-go pricing. For example, you can run a server on AWS that you can log on to, configure, secure, and run just as you would a server that's sitting in front of you 2). What you can do with AWS? Store public or private data. Host a static website. These websites use client-side technologies (such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) to display content that doesn't change frequently. A static website doesn't require server-side technologies (such as PHP and ASP.NET). Host a dynamic website or web app. These websites include classic three-tier applications, with web, application, and database tiers. Support students or online training programs. Process business and scientific data. Handle peak loads. AWS Quest

How to Decode TLV Quickly

TLV format contains three parts Tag, Length, and value. In a credit card or financial transactions, the TLV protocol supports this format. Below, you will find the ideas to decode TLV data quickly.  According to IBM , the tag tells what type of data it is. The length field denotes the length of the value. The value-field denotes the actual value. Structure of TLV. TLV comprises three field values. Tag Length Value How to Decode TLV The EMV labs developed tags which in turn part of EMV protocol. Each tag has an unique meaning. And the Tag and Length together takes 1 to 4 bytes of memory. 1. The Best example for TLV. Below is the way to decode the EMV tag. The first part of the TLV format is TAG. The second part is LENGTH, and finally the VALUE. Syntax of EMV tag: [Tag][Value Length][Value] (ex. " 9F40 05 F000F0A001 ") where,  Tag Name =  9F40 Value Length (in bytes) =  05  Value (Hex representation of bytes. Example, "F0" – 1-byte) =  F000F0A001 Finally, what is 9F40
