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

How to Fill Nulls in Pandas: bfill and ffill

-

In Pandas, bfill and ffill are two important methods used for filling missing values in a DataFrame or Series by propagating the previous (forward fill) or next (backward fill) valid values respectively. These methods are particularly useful when dealing with time series data or other ordered data where missing values need to be filled based on the available adjacent values. ffill (forward fill): When you use the ffill method on a DataFrame or Series, it fills missing values with the previous non-null value in the same column. It propagates the last known value forward. This method is often used to carry forward the last observed value for a specific column, making it a good choice for time series data when the assumption is that the value doesn't change abruptly. Example: import pandas as pd data = {'A': [1, 2, None, 4, None, 6],         'B': [None, 'X', 'Y', None, 'Z', 'W']} df = pd.DataFrame(data) print(df) # Output: #      A     B
