Building a Deployment Pipeline for a React Application with AWS CodePipeline

Kaye Alvarado2024-01-07T02:48:10+00:00

This is the second part of a series of blogs about the platform management of a React Application infrastructure by adding a continuous deployment component to the earlier infrastructure. In an earlier article, I wrote about how a private react application infrastructure can be deployed with Terraform code. Now, we will explore this further by building a deployment pipeline using AWS CodePipeline. Let's assume that the source code of the React web application is hosted on GitHub. Using the GitHub connections feature of AWS CodePipeline, we can authorize the third-party provider to work with AWS resources to establish integration between [...]

Train and Deploy a Scikit-Learn Model in Amazon SageMaker

John Patrick Laurel2024-01-05T10:10:06+00:00

Introduction In the ever-evolving world of machine learning (ML), the ability to efficiently train and deploy models is crucial for turning innovative ideas into real-world applications. This is where Amazon SageMaker, a fully managed service that provides every developer and data scientist with the ability to build, train, and deploy machine learning models quickly, stands out. Amazon SageMaker streamlines the machine learning workflow, offering a broad set of capabilities that are designed to enable users to focus more on the problem at hand and less on the underlying infrastructure. While SageMaker comes equipped with built-in algorithms and support for various [...]

Securing LLMs with Guardrails for Amazon Bedrock

Kaye Alvarado2024-01-03T00:32:13+00:00

One of the pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework is security. It is a foundational concept when running your workloads in the cloud to think about privacy, access limits, compliance with regulatory requirements, and data protection; and this includes Amazon Bedrock. Along with several AI announcements during the keynote of AWS CEO, Adam Selipsky during AWS re:Invent 2023 was Guardrails for Amazon Bedrock. As AI technology evolves and becomes more mature, it makes sense to also reinvent the way usage is handled by security safeguards. Guardrails for Amazon Bedrock allow security policies to be applied across foundational models, to fulfill [...]

Building a Private React Application Infrastructure with Terraform

Kaye Alvarado2024-01-02T03:12:00+00:00

This is the first part of a series of blogs about the platform management of a React Application infrastructure using Terraform. In the early phases of a software development project, it is mandatory to have the application reviewed by security way before the Beta release to ensure that the app adheres to the standards of a secure web application and is able to protect the sensitive data it handles. Most of the time, DevOps Engineers are tasked to deploy the web application in a private domain to allow the initial load testing, penetration testing, and other security-related testing while keeping [...]

How to Install and Configure PHP OpCache with Web Viewer on Ubuntu 20.04

Nestor Mayagma Jr.2024-01-02T01:18:27+00:00

The performance of your PHP applications can be significantly enhanced by using OpCache, a PHP opcode cache. OpCache reduces the need to recompile your PHP scripts on each request by storing the generated bytecode in memory, resulting in quicker execution rates and lessened server load. Image retrieved from https://www.pinterest.ph/pin/flash-running-poster-custom-posters-design-your-own-wall-art-create-personalized-prints--792281759458556733/ This article will walk you through installing and configuring PHP OpCache with Web Viewer on Ubuntu 20.04. Install OpCache Install the Nginx, PHP, and additional PHP extensions with the following command: sudo -i apt-get install nginx php php-fpm php-cli php-OpCache php-mysql php-zip php-gd php-mbstring php-curl php-xml -y After installing, use [...]

Deploying a Serverless Inference Endpoint with Amazon SageMaker

John Patrick Laurel2023-12-27T11:56:32+00:00

Introduction Welcome to our deep dive into the world of serverless machine learning (ML) inference using Amazon SageMaker. In this blog post, we will explore the innovative and efficient approach of deploying ML models without the need for managing servers, a method known as serverless inference. What is Serverless Inference? Serverless inference is a cloud computing execution model where the cloud provider dynamically manages the allocation of machine resources. The key advantage here is that it abstracts the underlying infrastructure, allowing developers and data scientists to focus solely on their application logic. This approach offers several benefits: Cost-Effectiveness: You pay [...]

Setting Up AWS EventBridge for Cross-Region IAM Event Notifications

Bill Junidez Liad2023-12-22T22:11:15+00:00

AWS EventBridge is a serverless event bus service that simplifies event-driven architectures. In this guide, we'll explore how to leverage EventBridge with a cross-region event bus to overcome the regional limitations associated with IAM (Identity and Access Management) events. This setup will enable you to capture and respond to IAM events seamlessly across AWS regions. Use Case: Cross-Region IAM Event Notifications with AWS EventBridge AWS CloudWatch Events are powerful, but they are region-specific, posing challenges when attempting to capture IAM events. It's essential to note that IAM is a global service, and the IAM events are only available in the [...]
