Deploying Docker Containers in AWS and Wandering Around Clusters

Or, at least learning more about each. And self-learning is the important part, right?

And welcome back to not only AWS, but Docker as well. This is a bit of an older post, as I have more experience with Terraform's containerized environments in Azure over AWS.

Instructions

There is a Console First Run Wizard, here.

I have an exceedingly vague idea of what this means in full. Cluster is essentially the pack of what you need to run something. Bing (Yes, Bing), says it's a 'logical grouping of tasks or services'.

So 'containers' are the 'physical' grouping, if we consider 'physical = code'.

We can define a service, which allows us to run and maintain a specified number of simultaneous instances of a task definition.

It sounds a little like a limited pool of IP addresses. This is the free tier, AWS only gives us one.

The instructions emphasize Elastic Load Balancing...which took me a while to realize and find.

And now the service is set up and running, so I can go to my Load Balancer and click the DNS name.

We did it!

The spreadsheet is to keep track of people at Target Companies.

Making KPI Dashboards with PowerBI

While this is the free tier, I cannot share or collaborate with others, nor can I publish content to other people's workspaces, but they will not stop me from screenshooting and recording these self-taught adventures,so! I'm doing this because I idly searched "Mattel careers" and "Information Technology", and seeing a bulletpoint saying the following: Analytical and reporting skills such as creating dashboards and establishing KPIs such as experience with PowerBI, Cognos, Tableau, and Google Data Lake/AWS is preferred And thought "Well, I've used Tableau, and I've heard about PowerBI, even if its in-demandness is questionable , so how similar is it? And can I write about it?" First, PowerBI (PIB) does have a downloadable, local version, but apparently Windows-only. I could download the .exe but I couldn't run it / drag it to applications on my MacBook. Not a problem, we'll use the online SaaS version, and a dataset found here, ...

Perplexity AI: The App, For The Everyday Person

Perplexity AI, according to BuiltIn , is an AI-powered search engine - and it's now valued at 1 8$Billion dollars, with a B. I had it on my phone for research testing - something I do between contracts for money - and simply kept it all this time. With it making a resurgence, I can show you if it's viable for every day use cases. I did not use it to generate "art" or writing. Screen Reading and Photo Identification. I have used Perplexity to read Chinese characters on my screen, asking to point out the radicals, tone, and meaning of unfamiliar characters. There are minor differences between what Perplexity answers with and what Duolingo and DuChinese deal with, but I know enough Chinese* to figure out the difference - though a recent study calls the accuracy into question. For instance, below I've asked it what the radical is in 水 (shui, water) [alt: The character in your image is 水 , which is the Chinese character for "wate...

Log Sorting with AWS CloudWatch, AWS CloudWatch Insights

The cool thing is, I was contracted to make these videos in collaboration with CloudAvail Technology Consulting to help people decide which service they wanted to use for their logging - AWS CloudWatch, AWS CloudWatch Insights, DataDog, or New Relic. I'm searching through nginx logs. I have accompanying videos of each service that you can find on the CloudAvail Youtube page; See these links to go to the DataDog and NewRelic posts. The idea was to be subjective in the videos, but I can be objective on my personal blog. CloudWatch The syntax is odd, but easy to grasp. Sort log data by IP addresses, message codes, and status codes. The simplest query system, but not quite robust. Insights The syntax has changed - Vastly. I see major SQL influences. You can see that in how the parse function works - in this case, it's often taken pieces of a pre-existing standard - in this case, message - and breaking them into their own c...
