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: ...

The Quick and Easy Way to Analyze Numpy Arrays

Image
The quickest and easiest way to analyze NumPy arrays is by using the numpy.array() method. This method allows you to quickly and easily analyze the values contained in a numpy array. This method can also be used to find the sum, mean, standard deviation, max, min, and other useful analysis of the value contained within a numpy array. Sum You can find the sum of Numpy arrays using the np.sum() function.  For example:  import numpy as np  a = np.array([1,2,3,4,5])  b = np.array([6,7,8,9,10])  result = np.sum([a,b])  print(result)  # Output will be 55 Mean You can find the mean of a Numpy array using the np.mean() function. This function takes in an array as an argument and returns the mean of all the values in the array.  For example, the mean of a Numpy array of [1,2,3,4,5] would be  result = np.mean([1,2,3,4,5])  print(result)  #Output: 3.0 Standard Deviation To find the standard deviation of a Numpy array, you can use the NumPy st...

Numpy Array Vs. List: What's the Difference

Image
Here are the differences between List and NumPy Array. Both store data, but technically these are not the same. You'll find here where they differ from each other. Python Lists Here is all about Python lists: Lists can have data of different data types. For instance, data = [3, 3.2, 4.6, 6, 6.8, 9, “hello”, ‘a’] Operations such as subtraction, multiplying, and division allow doing through loops Storage space required is more, as each element is considered an object in Python Execution time is high for large datasets Lists are inbuilt data types How to create array types in Python NumPy Arrays Here is all about NumPy Arrays: Numpy arrays are containers for storing only homogeneous data types. For example: data= [3.2, 4.6, 6.8]; data=[3, 6, 9]; data=[‘hello’, ‘a’] Numpy is designed to do all mathematical operations in parallel and is also simpler than Python Numpy storage space is very much less compared to the list due to the practice of homogeneous data type Execution time is ...
