Some time ago I wrote about bash aliases and how they reduce the complexity of long commands by replacing them with several symbols. But aliases are not the only things that can ease the usage of shell. In this article I will share with you the magic of bash functions and provide several examples of how awesome they are.
Hello, dear visitor. Seeing you here today means you're likely a developer, engineer, coder, or some combination of these -- and that you're familiar with the term "code". For several decades engineers all over the world were writing code. This code, first and foremost, was meant to solve problems. And today I would like to tell you about solving even more problems with the power of code. I will show you why and how we should use code for more and more scenarios across our professional and personal lives.
S3 is an incredibly useful service for storing and sharing a vast variety of files. Due to its ability to store files in a bucket accessible to a broad audience, it is even possible to host a static website. The first "S" in the acronym S3 stands for "Simple." But is it actually so simple when it comes to public access? In this article, I will try to comprehensively figure out the thing that baffles me each time I come across it: the "Block public access" configuration.
AWS has long allowed users to host their static websites using S3 buckets. While this is a very simple and reliable solution, sometimes there is a need for a more complex application. AWS addresses this need with AWS Amplify Gen 2. In this article, I'm going to show you how to create and serve a React application utilizing its power.
Recently, during a routine backup procedure for personal files, I discovered that my private bucket, which should contain only one archive, for some reason has approximately 500 objects in it. This surprised me greatly, and I decided to investigate what the issue was and how it happened.
Containers have been a dominant force in the Internet landscape for nearly two decades. Their popularity stems not only from their convenience but also from the ease of creation and setup. I’m certainly not the first to acknowledge that containers are an incredibly useful tool, and I won’t be the last. Like any tool, however, they can be used quickly or they can be used effectively. Today, we will focus on the latter: optimizing application efficiency by reducing the container's size and examining the trade-offs in terms of size, complexity, and build time.
In this series of articles, I will attempt to solve scenarios from the website "Sad Servers" and provide detailed explanations of the tasks and solutions. The website is described as "Like LeetCode for Linux", offering opportunities to train and improve debugging and operating skills with Linux.
Part 2 includes scenarios 11 to 20.
Exactly one year ago, on August 24, 2023, I published my first blog post. Since then, one year has passed, 14 posts have been written, and some other events have happened. I love numbers, so I decided to gather some statistics for the past year and publish them here for your, dear reader, joy, and my own clarity.
In this series of articles, I will attempt to solve scenarios from the website "Sad Servers" and provide detailed explanations of the tasks and solutions. The website is described as "Like LeetCode for Linux", offering opportunities to train and improve debugging and operating skills with Linux.
Part 1 includes scenarios 1 to 11 (scenario 10 is locked behind a paywall and will be discussed in another article).
A few days ago, AWS open-sourced1 its Secrets Manager Agent, which is designed to help us users fetch secrets more easily and securely. Let's take a look at what it is, compare it with existing solutions, discuss its potential applications and limitations and how it may help us (or not) in our day-to-day operations.
