Infrastructure as Code ( IaC):

                      IaC primarily manages the underlying infrastructure components that an application relies on. This includes:

  • Virtual machines (VMs) (Virtualization is the process where all the physical components are abstracted into the abstraction of the software and provides the complete isolation from the host OS )
  • Networks
  • Storage
  • Databases
  • Load balancers(Load balancing is the process of distributing network traffic across multiple servers. This ensures no single server bears too much demand. By spreading the work evenly, load balancing improves application responsiveness. It also increases availability of applications and websites for users. Modern applications cannot run without load balancers)

IaC tools like Terraform enable you to:

Create: Provision and configure these infrastructure resources.

Use: Maintain and update the configuration of these resources.

Destroy: Decommission and remove these resources.

 






List of IaCs tool:

1. terraform 
2. Arzue resource Manager 
3.AWS Cloud foramtion
4. Google cloud Deployment Manager
5. Anisble 
6.chef
7.Pappet
8. SaltStack
9.Vagrant


Terraform :( open-source tool )

we need to create the manifest file to provision, create, and manage the infrastructure.

 uses the language HCL or optionally JSON 





Consistency: we can create a single configuration file used in different environment like Dev , Test , stage and production 
Iacs : It  created as the purpose  for so it can interconnect all the cloud resources and even the on-perm without any human related errors or syntax related errors 
Automation: it will be easy to automata or to create any infrasture for any resources.
Version Control : it has the in-build version control as its saves the  metadata of the code if is modified .
Collaboration: it can be easily collaborated within the team to create the infrasture .
Scalability : we can scale up or scale down depending upon the requirement of the project.


-->To create the infrastructure, we need to know the entire target system ( without knowing the manual process, you cannot create the automation one )
-->Terraform files should have an extension as .tf 


Terraform: Deploying Infrastructure

  • Write .tf files:
    • Define your desired infrastructure as code.
  • terraform init:
    • Initialize the working directory and download necessary provider plugins.
  • terraform plan:
    • Preview the changes Terraform will make to your infrastructure.
  • terraform apply:
    • Execute the planned changes and deploy your infrastructure to the target system.

    • Terraform Workflow:
      • Plan & Apply:
        • Developers define infrastructure in .tf files.
        • terraform plan previews the changes to be made (a "dry run").
        • terraform apply executes those changes on the target system.

      Terraform Setup:

      • Providers & Provisioners:
        • The core requires provider and provisioner configurations when a Terraform project is initialized.
        • Terraform automatically downloads the necessary provider APIs into the .terraform directory, enabling interaction with target systems.

    Terraform installation :
     Simply go to google, download terraform for Windows 
    then unzip the downloaded file go inside the folder it has only one exe file 
    set up the environment variables and run in Cd 

    or 

    Simply open the Docker, in Docker Hub search for the Terraform image and in the cmd 
    To pull the image of docker, docker pull hashicorp/terraform 
    To run the terraform , docker run hashicorp/terraform

    Entity Relationship (ER) Diagram Model with DBMS Example

    Reference :   Entity Relationship (ER) Diagram Model with DBMS Example What is ER Diagram? ER Diagram  stands for Entity Relationship Diagram, also known as ERD is a diagram that displays the relationship of entity sets stored in a database. In other words, ER diagrams help to explain the logical structure of databases. ER diagrams are created based on three basic concepts: entities, attributes and relationships. ER Diagrams contain different symbols that use rectangles to represent entities, ovals to define attributes and diamond shapes to represent relationships. At first look, an ER diagram looks very similar to the flowchart. However, ER Diagram includes many specialized symbols, and its meanings make this model unique. The purpose of ER Diagram is to represent the entity framework infrastructure. Entity Relationship Diagram Example Table of Content: What is ER Diagram? What is ER Model?

    GCP Buckets

      CREATING BUCKET Method 1: Using GCP Console (UI) Go to the  Google Cloud Console . Navigate to  Cloud Storage . Click  Create Bucket . Enter a  unique name  for your bucket. Select a  storage class  (Standard, Nearline, Coldline, or Archive)... Choose a  location  (region/multi-region). Set  access control  (Uniform or Fine-grained). Click  Create . how do you optimise the class storage buckets - we can talk about cloud storage choosing wisely standard vs nearline vs coldline vs archive... how you managed your buckets - how did you manage? life cycle rule - regions multi regions etc

    Pyspark

    pyspark link the above link for a sample code for Pyspark  Transformations create new datasets, actions return values, or write data. Transformations: Definition: Transformations are operations that create a new RDD or data frame from an existing one. They are "lazy," meaning they don't execute immediately. Instead, Spark builds a lineage graph (DAG - Directed Acyclic Graph) of transformations. Examples: map() : Applies a function to each element. filter() : Select elements based on a condition. flatMap() : Similar to a map, but flattens the results. groupByKey() : Groups elements by key. reduceByKey() : Reduces elements by key. join() : Joins two datasets. distinct() : Removes duplicate elements. union() : Combines two datasets. coalesce() : Reduces the number of partitions. repartition() : Increases or decreases the number of partitions. Actions: Definition: Actions trigger the execution of the lineage graph, which returns a result to the driver progra...
