AWS services in nutshell

SAIFULLAH🇮🇳 — Thu, 18 Jan 2024 18:40:49 +0000

Recently I have completed my AWS cloud practitioner essential from AWS builder, and I want to list out all the AWS services in a nutshell or I can say all the lecture modules in a nutshell.

The heading in the bold is the services provided by AWS.

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)
Amazon Ec2 provides secure, resizable compute capacity in the cloud as Amazon EC2 instances.
Amazon Ec2 are optimized for different tasks and mainly divided into 5 categories:

General purpose instances provide a balance of compute, memory, and networking resources.
Compute optimized instances are ideal for compute-bound applications that benefit from high-performance processors.
Memory optimized instances are designed to deliver fast performance for workloads that process large datasets in memory.
Accelerated computing instances use hardware accelerators, or coprocessors, to perform some functions more efficiently than is possible in software running on CPUs.
Storage optimized instances are designed for workloads that require high, sequential read and write access to large datasets on local storage.

Elastic Load Balancing
Elastic Load Balancing is the AWS service that automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple resources, such as Amazon EC2 instances.
A load balancer acts as a single point of contact for all incoming web traffic to your Auto Scaling group. This means that as you add or remove Amazon EC2 instances in response to the amount of incoming traffic, these requests route to the load balancer first. Then, the requests spread across multiple resources that will handle them.

When designing applications on AWS, you can take a microservices approach with services and components that fulfill different functions. Two services facilitate application integration: Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) and Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS).

Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS)
Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) is a publish/subscribe service. Using Amazon SNS topics, a publisher publishes messages to subscribers.

Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS)
Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) is a message queuing service.
Using Amazon SQS, you can send, store, and receive messages between software components, without losing messages or requiring other services to be available. In Amazon SQS, an application sends messages into a queue. A user or service retrieves a message from the queue, processes it, and then deletes it from the queue.

Serverless computing
The term “serverless” means that your code runs on servers, but you do not need to provision or manage these servers.

AWS Lambda
An AWS service for serverless computing is AWS Lambda.
AWS Lambda is a service that lets you run code without needing to provision or manage servers.
While using AWS Lambda, you pay only for the compute time that you consume. Charges apply only when your code is running. You can also run code for virtually any type of application or backend service, all with zero administration.

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)
Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) is a highly scalable, high-performance container management system that enables you to run and scale containerized applications on AWS. Amazon ECS supports Docker containers.

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)
Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) is a fully managed service that you can use to run Kubernetes on AWS.

AWS Fargate
AWS Fargate(opens in a new tab) is a serverless compute engine for containers. It works with both Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS.
When using AWS Fargate, you do not need to provision or manage servers.

Ways to interact with AWS services

The AWS Management Console is a web-based interface for accessing and managing AWS services.
To save time when making API requests, you can use the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). AWS CLI enables you to control multiple AWS services directly from the command line within one tool.
Another option for accessing and managing AWS services is the software development kits (SDKs). SDKs make it easier for you to use AWS services through an API designed for your programming language or platform.

Others,

AWS Elastic Beanstalk
With AWS Elastic Beanstalk, you provide code and configuration settings, and Elastic Beanstalk deploys the resources necessary to perform the following tasks:

Adjust capacity
Load balancing
Automatic scaling
Application health monitoring

AWS CloudFormation
With AWS CloudFormation, you can treat your infrastructure as code. This means that you can build an environment by writing lines of code instead of using the AWS Management Console to individually provision resources.

Networking and Security

Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC)
A networking service that you can use to establish boundaries around your AWS resources is Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC).

AWS Direct Connect
AWS Direct Connect is a service that lets you to establish a dedicated private connection between your data center and a VPC.

Amazon Route 53
Amazon Route 53 is a DNS web service. It gives developers and businesses a reliable way to route end users to internet applications hosted in AWS.

Instance Stores

An instance store provides temporary block-level storage for an Amazon EC2 instance. An instance store is disk storage that is physically attached to the host computer for an EC2 instance, and therefore has the same lifespan as the instance. When the instance is terminated, you lose any data in the instance store.

Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS)
EBS is a service that provides block-level storage volumes that you can use with Amazon EC2 instances. If you stop or terminate an Amazon EC2 instance, all the data on the attached EBS volume remains available

An EBS snapshot is an incremental backup. This means that the first backup taken of a volume copies all the data. For subsequent backups, only the blocks of data that have changed since the most recent snapshot are saved.

Storage Services

Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)
Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is a service that provides object-level storage. Amazon S3 stores data as objects in buckets.
You can upload any type of file to Amazon S3, such as images, videos, text files, and so on. For example, you might use Amazon S3 to store backup files, media files for a website, or archived documents.

Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS)
Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) is a scalable file system used with AWS Cloud services and on-premises resources. As you add and remove files, Amazon EFS grows and shrinks automatically. It can scale on demand to petabytes without disrupting applications.

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS)
Amazon RDS is a managed service that automates tasks such as hardware provisioning, database setup, patching, and backups. With these capabilities, you can spend less time completing administrative tasks and more time using data to innovate your applications. You can integrate Amazon RDS with other services to fulfill your business and operational needs, such as using AWS Lambda to query your database from a serverless application.

Amazon Aurora
Amazon Aurora is an enterprise-class relational database. It is compatible with MySQL and PostgreSQL relational databases. It is up to five times faster than standard MySQL databases and up to three times faster than standard PostgreSQL databases.

Nonrelational databases

Amazon DynamoDB
Amazon DynamoDB is a key-value database service. It delivers single-digit millisecond performance at any scale.

Amazon Redshift
Amazon Redshift is a data warehousing service that you can use for big data analytics. It offers the ability to collect data from many sources and helps you to understand relationships and trends across your data.

AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS)
AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) enables you to migrate relational databases, nonrelational databases, and other types of data stores.
With AWS DMS, you move data between a source database and a target database.

Permissions and Management and Compliance

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
IAM gives you the flexibility to configure access based on your company’s specific operational and security needs. You do this by using a combination of IAM features, which are explored in detail in this lesson:

IAM users, groups, and roles
IAM policies
Multi-factor authentication

AWS Organizations
AWS Organizations to consolidate and manage multiple AWS accounts within a central location.

AWS Artifact
AWS Artifact is a service that provides on-demand access to AWS security and compliance reports and select online agreements. AWS Artifact consists of two main sections: AWS Artifact Agreements and AWS Artifact Reports.

Security

AWS Shield
AWS Shield is a service that protects applications against DDoS attacks. AWS Shield provides two levels of protection: Standard (free) and Advanced(paid).

AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS)
AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) enables you to perform encryption operations through the use of cryptographic keys.

AWS WAF
AWS WAF is a web application firewall that lets you monitor network requests that come into your web applications.

Amazon Inspector
Amazon Inspector helps to improve the security and compliance of applications by running automated security assessments.

Amazon GuardDuty
Amazon GuardDuty is a service that provides intelligent threat detection for your AWS infrastructure and resources.

AWS tools for monitoring and analytics.

Amazon CloudWatch
Amazon CloudWatch is a web service that enables you to monitor and manage various metrics and configure alarm actions based on data from those metrics.

AWS CloudTrail
AWS CloudTrail records API calls for your account. The recorded information includes the identity of the API caller, the time of the API call, the source IP address of the API caller, and more. You can think of CloudTrail as a “trail” of breadcrumbs (or a log of actions) that someone has left behind them.

Bravo!!
👏 You made it till here, hope it is helpful to you.

7 reasons to use Bard Over ChatGpt!

SAIFULLAH🇮🇳 — Mon, 15 May 2023 16:21:30 +0000

Wherever you go there is AI🙂
So in the era of Ai, choosing which Ai is suitable for your task is difficult.

And to make it easier we have several AI's in one of them there is king aka ChatGPT no doubt it is brilliant invention 🙌 Eating white collar jobs 😀

However in the race tech giant GOOGLE too has came with there AI model as bald oops BARD sounds wierd right?😂

Ok no more cringe Jokes !!

Let's compare why to use BARD instead of ChatGpt

So I have listed 7 reasons below 👇

1.Take Voice input - yes you read it right now no need to type lengthy prompts just tell the prompts using your voice only, which Chatgpt can't 👀

2.Enhance your search with Google- If he can't answer which is impossible but if it can't then it will enhance your result with Google page.

3.Integrate with Gmail- Go update your Gmail asap, than see the magic of AI, give the prompts and it easily wrote email for you, as "Help me write"
AI writing Email for you(YouTube)

4.Generate multiple draft - Yes it will generate multiple drafts of your prompts so vast opportunity to explore.

5.Support for different Plugins - It supports multiple plugins either replit, Spotify or YouTube etc.

6.Supports 20+ programming language- Pain for us but it is truth Bard supports 20+ programming languages 🥹

7.Access to the internet - It fetches the result from internet itself, so no more stack overflow 🦥

Fun fact after the introduction of ChatGpt I forgot to use Stack overflow.
Is it end of Stack overflow what you guys think 🤔

So that's all hope it is helpful and painful too 💔

Spread and Rest operator in JS

SAIFULLAH🇮🇳 — Mon, 08 May 2023 19:11:48 +0000

Make your JavaScript code cleaner and less complex with spread & rest operators.

Unlock the power of spread and rest operators in JavaScript:

Spread and Rest operators **are two important features in JavaScript introduced in **ECMAScript 6 (ES6) that provide a concise and powerful way to work with arrays and objects.

1. Spread Operator

_The spread operator (…) _is used to spread the contents of an array or object into individual elements. This is useful when you want to combine multiple arrays or objects into a single array or object, Or when passing arrays or objects as arguments.

We can also use the spread operator to add new elements to an array:

In the example below, we use the spread operator to add the element 0 to the beginning of the arr array.

The spread operator can also be used with objects.

2. Rest Operator

The rest operator (…) is used to represent an indefinite number of arguments as an array. This is useful when you want to pass a variable number of arguments to a function, or when you want to group a set of arguments into an array.

In this example, we define a function called sum that uses the rest operator to collect any number of arguments into an array called numbers. We then use the reduce method to sum up the numbers in the array and return the result.

We can also use the rest operator to group a set of arguments into an array.
So must use this two operators to ease your code.

That's it!

Websites made by AI?

SAIFULLAH🇮🇳 — Sat, 06 May 2023 12:23:30 +0000

Just a discussion post about the websites made by AI tools.

Does it's really worthy to build a website using AI tools without coding?

The tech influencers all over the platform use to promote various AI websites to build the web page,
Without even trying them itself 🥹
Websites like
10web.io
nocode.mba
Appy pi etc..

I tried one but it was not scalable at all.

So what's your opinion please suggest.

Thankyou

Learn Programming by making Projects

SAIFULLAH🇮🇳 — Fri, 05 May 2023 08:51:14 +0000

As we all know projects are very essential either for building our portfolio to show case our skills or about particular programming language.
But we often get confused how to start where to go and by thinking all of this we again just sit and start to scroll the social media
(we == I)🥹

So here I found a website call
Codementor.io
Codementor.io

Why to choose this website btw it's totally free 🆓
Here I found multiple ways to build multiple projects from scratch in multiple programming language from Python to Angular...

It has user friendly UI, The site will guide you before starting a project what basic skills you first need to start a particular project,
Then how to set up the environment,
still stucked then it has discussion forum too,
At the end if you still unable to build a project try to see the solution from mentors.

So that's all keep hunting keep learning 💹

Will Mojo🔥 Replace Python? 🤔

SAIFULLAH🇮🇳 — Fri, 05 May 2023 06:01:02 +0000

Before diving into the purpose i.e will
Mojo🔥 replace Python🐍 or not, first of all let see what is Mojo.

According to Official Docs
Mojo🔥 is a new programming language for all AI developers.
Developed by former Swift devs
And it's says all.

In the era of Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning we all need a scalable and fast programming language and according to Mojo developers,

Mojo is "An innovative and scalable programming model that could target accelerators and other heterogeneous systems that are pervasive in machine learning."
We can further read and try it through its official Modular docs.
Mojo🔥 official

Now come to our question will Python fade away?
Most likely for AI developers it will fade slowly because in Mojo they have many core features of Python including _async/await, error handling, variadics, etc, _but… it is still very early and missing many features - so today it isn’t very compatible. Mojo doesn’t support classes yet!
But in future it may because Python is slow 🦥.

So that's all if you think it will replace totally must share your knowledge below 💯

Thank you
