Scalable Data Processing and Transformation using SageMaker Processing (Part 2 of 2)

2023-04-28T02:18:41+00:00

In this 2-part tutorial, we will focus on SageMaker Processing and how we can use it to solve our data processing needs. Our overall goal is to demonstrate how to use SageMaker Processing to help us perform Min-Max scaling on a dataset in its own dedicated and easily scalable environment.  If you are looking for Part 1, you can find it here. As mentioned in Part I, we have divided this tutorial into 4 sections: [1] Synthetic Data Generation (found in PART I) [2] Using MinMaxScaler without the managed infrastructure support of SageMaker Processing (found in PART I) [3] Using [...]

ELB Health Checks vs Route 53 Health Checks For Target Health Monitoring

2024-01-23T05:56:25+00:00

We all know that health checks are a very useful tool for making sure that AWS services such as AWS ELB and Amazon Route 53 know the state of their targets before forwarding traffic to them. In this section, we will take a look at ELB health checks and Route 53 health checks, and compare them with one another. Health Check Service AWS Elastic Load Balancing Amazon Route53 What is it for? This health check periodically sends a request to a target instance, server or function to verify its status i.e. available to accept traffic requests. This health check monitors [...]

Interface Endpoint vs Gateway Endpoint vs Gateway Load Balancer Endpoint

2023-04-10T03:13:05+00:00

Interface Endpoint Gateway Endpoint Gateway Load Balancer Endpoint An elastic network interface with a private IP address that serves as an entry point for traffic destined to a supported AWS service, endpoint service, or AWS Marketplace service. For each interface endpoint, you can choose only one subnet per Availability Zone. Endpoints are regional, which means they are only usable within the same region they are created in. Since interface endpoints use ENIs, they also use security groups to control traffic. Can be accessed through AWS VPN connections or AWS Direct Connect connections, through intra-region VPC peering connections from Nitro instances, [...]

How to Create Wait Conditions in a CloudFormation Template

2023-05-02T03:41:59+00:00

Wait Conditions, as the name suggests, is a tool used to control the order of creation of the AWS resources in a CloudFormation stack. It can pause the creation of a stack and wait for a signal to ensure that specific resources and configurations were properly launched before resuming the stack creation process. Use cases: For example, you want to make sure that a specific domain name is working before you can conclude that your application is indeed up and running. Or perhaps, you want to make sure that a particular stack resource can access an external API endpoint (or [...]
