AWS Step Functions

What is AWS Step functions?
✓ It's is an serverless orchestration service that allows you to integrate with various other AWS service so easily.

Example: You can connect series of lambda function in a step function and you can define when or in which order the lambda functions should execute.

✓ Using AWS console you can easily, visualize the steps associated and understand failed step quickly and can take action.

✓ Step function runs based on state machine and task.

✓ Step functions allows you to create starting from simple workflow (eg: like call an lambda function ) to complex workflow (eg: like call 100 lambda function in parallel and once 100 lambda execution completes, call 200 glue jobs in series and publish success or failure message to SNS topic).

✓ Step functions reduces that extra lines code that you need to write for system/service integration, wait and error handling.

✓ Right from the AWS step functions you can able to call the AWS SDK's to perform extra operations on hundreds of AWS service, right inside from your step function without writting any piece of code.

Two types of step functions you can create while am writing this post in Sep'2023.

✓ Standard:
     ~ For standard workflows.
     ~ 2,000 per second execution rate.
     ~ 4,000 per second state transition rate.
     ~ Priced by state transition.

✓ Express 
     ~ For quick workflows.
     ~ 100,000 per second execution rate.
     ~ Unlimited state transition rate.
     ~ Priced by number and duration of executions.

Benefits of using AWS Step functions?

#1: Function orchestration
#2: Branching
#3: Error handling
#4: Iteration or looping
#5: Parallel processing

BIG DATA ANALYTICS

BIG DATA ANALYTICS Have you ever hit upon how Amazon and Flip kart could possible verdict what we want; how the Google auto completes our search; how the YouTube looks into videos we want to watch? When we open YouTube, we will be at sixes and sevens, when we find ads related to what we have searched earlier in the past days. This is where we find ourselves in the era of big data analytics. More than 3 trillion bytes of information are being generated everyday through our smart phones, tablets, GPS devices, etc.  Have we thought about what can be done with all these information? This is where the data analytics comes into play. Big data analytics is just the study of future build up to store data in order to extract the behaviour patterns. The entire social networking website gathers our data which are related to our interest which is usually done by using our past search or any other social information. Data analytics will lead to a walkover in near future. 

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) What is AWS EC2 ? Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, EC2 is a web service from Amazon that provides resizable compute services in the cloud. What do you mean by resizable in AWS EC2 ? You can quickly scale up or scale down the number of server instance you are using based upon on your traffic.  What is called as Instance? An instance is a virtual server for running applications on Amazon’s EC2. Simply Virtual Machine is called as Instance(i.e)it holds the HDD, OS, RAM, Network Connection Whatever things that are need to run a system.  Note : Everything is Virtual You can’t able to see the HDD, RAM , or CPU. Only thing is you can able to configure it based on your need.    So here is the Definition….  Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides secure, resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale cloud computing easier for developers. Why Amazon EC2 ?   Pay-as-you

CLOUD COMPUTING SERVICES

Services provided by Cloud Computing   1. Software as a service :  It is process by which the software will be provided by the cloud server's. Instead of using the software in our local machine we can directly use the cloud services directly to get our work done.   Example : Google Slides, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Zoho Writer,....etc. 2. Platform as a service : It is process by which you can directly use platform like windows , linux , Mac, ....Which ever you need to done your work. Example : There are certain software which might be run only certain platform. Assume I have windows operating system but i am doing research in BIG DATA. There Linux Operation system might be handy for my research work. Where it is hard for me to put Operating System again and again to my local machine and taking backup data. So Cloud Computing Services Makes our work easier whatever platform we need it will provide us without any loss in data or hard backup pro
