AWS Lambda@Edge allows you to run applications and services without worrying about managing infrastructure. Your application still runs on servers, but all the server management is done by the Cloud provider. You no longer have to provision, scale, and maintain servers to run your applications, databases, and storage systems. AWS globally...
Image optimization is an important thing when designing a website. Through image optimization using the open source Jpegtran, one can reduce their image size while preserving their visual quality, which is also known as lossless compression. This results in saving many bytes or KB. Upgraded pictures utilizing Jpegtran likewise increment...
Lambda is an Amazon Web Services (AWS) masterpiece which helps in leveraging compute services for a duration of seconds to minutes and hence reduces the infrastructure costs manifolds and its maintenance. The Cron expressions are created, evaluated and triggered using Cloudwatch Management Console. The possible cron expressions for AWS...
We usually come across few scenarios where we need something to run on the remote servers for the sake of automation. I came across such a use case in AWS where I need to run fabric on a server to be triggered from AWS Lambda. This fabric script further does few tasks on other servers. Background/Scenario: While working on a spot...
With over a decade into the market, AWS continues to dominate the public cloud infrastructure space by a sizable margin. Most companies have migrated to AWS with a clear mindset to reap the benefits of cloud services such as increased agility, improved efficiency, accelerated development and cost efficiency. However, many businesses still...
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has been the trailblazer in the cloud computing market since 2006 with its IaaS and PaaS offerings. It currently owns a lion’s share in the public cloud computing market ahead of other competitors like IBM, Microsoft, and Google; and continues to grow its offerings with continuous innovation. In the recent...
One security challenge we face these days is how to prevent our web servers from DDOS attacks. This blog illustrates how we can automatically block unwanted traffic based on request rate by using AWS WAF and Lambda. This setup automatically detects traffic based on request rate, and then updates AWS WAF configurations to block...
AWS Lambda is a compute service where we can upload our code to AWS Lambda and the service can run the code on our behalf using AWS infrastructure. AWS CodeDeploy is a service that automates code deployments to Amazon EC2 instances. AWS CodeDeploy makes it easier to rapidly release new features, helps to avoid downtime during...
AWS Lambda has been launched with the new features for Mobile Developers. The service was launched last year with the preview version at AWS re:Invent. We have given the detailed description about AWS LAMBDA in our previous blogs : An Introduction To AWS Lambda and AWS Lambda walk-through. It is a compute service that makes it easy for...
To start, we create a Lambda function to consume events published by Amazon S3. For any object uploaded to a bucket, S3 will invoke our Lambda function by passing event information in the form of function parameters. AWS Lambda executes the function. As the function executes, it reads the S3 event data, logs some of the event information...
The next buzz in cloud computing is the event-driven computing service. The service in preview mode “AWS Lambda” brings the same to existence. Lambda makes the best of the concept of "pay-per-use" and “as a service” much further than it did in the case of EC2. It offers pay-per-millisecond computing, a service always available...
