Hosting a website for free, and secured via HTTPS

Nowadays, getting a website is not a particularly difficult job, but practically everyone wants to know how to build it for free. Therefore, you will learn all the processes required to build a free website through this blog.

The process’s two most crucial concepts must first be understood, though. You will need a domain name before you can build a website for free.

A domain name is an Internet resource name that is universally understood by Web servers and online organizations and provides all pertinent destination information. To access an organization’s Web-based services, website users must know the precise domain name.

Creating a Pipeline between Github action and EC2 instance for building a docker image and network

Contents: Introduction Establish a pipeline between Github and EC2 instance.

The definition of a pipeline with regard to DevOps must first be understood in order for us to comprehend the design of a pipeline fully.

A pipeline is a group of automated procedures or tools that developers use to create and release code into a live environment. Generally speaking, a pipeline consists of three primary parts:

Build automation/continuous integration: Test automation Deploy automation

It generally contains a set of tools that are divided into the following parts : Source Control Build tools Containerization Configuration Management Monitoring

How to get the name of EC2 from its instance-id using AWS Lambda

If you are an AWS user, you might have encountered a situation where you have to get the name of an EC2 instance from its instance ID. This can be a daunting task if you are new to AWS. Fortunately, with the help of AWS Lambda, it is now possible to automate this task and get the instance name in a few simple steps. In this blog, we will guide you through retrieving the name of an EC2 instance from its instance ID using AWS Lambda. So, let’s get started!

def ec2_name(instanceId): ec2r = boto3.resource('ec2') running_instances = ec2r.instances.filter( Filters=[{'Name': 'instance-state-name', 'Values': ['running']}, {'Name': 'instance-id', 'Values': [instanceId]}]) for instance in running_instances: for tag in instance.tags: if 'Name' in tag['Key']: name = tag['Value'] print(name) def lambda_handler(event, context): instanceIds = ["i-0d397eb19ba20063b", "i-0077a88cef38d609e"] for i in instanceIds: name = ec2_name(i) print(name)

Output:

Note: It will return the name for only instances which are running.

Restarting inactive EC2 instance via AWS Lambda , Boto, and notifying an instace outage to Slack

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has become one of the most popular cloud computing services, providing a wide range of tools and services to help businesses run their operations smoothly and efficiently. Among its many offerings, the Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a powerful and flexible service that allows users to easily deploy and manage virtual servers in the cloud.

However, even the most reliable systems can experience failures, and when an EC2 instance fails a status check, it can cause serious disruptions to your business. That’s where AWS Lambda comes in. With its ability to execute code automatically in response to events, Lambda provides an easy way to reboot a failed EC2 instance and send notifications to Slack, a popular team communication platform.

Argo CD with Kubernetes and GitOps

Welcome to my blog! Today, I want to introduce you to a powerful tool for managing your Kubernetes applications: Argo CD. Argo CD is a GitOps-based continuous delivery tool that allows developers to declaratively manage their application deployments by using git as the source of truth for their desired application state.

With Argo CD, you can easily deploy, update, and manage your applications in a Kubernetes cluster. By using git as the source of truth, you can ensure that the deployed application always matches the desired state defined in git and that everyone on your team is working with the same version of the application. This helps to promote collaboration and transparency in the deployment process. more

Hosting a custom mailbox to send Mail on cloudfare

Using Inotify for internal audit logs in windows and Linux

In the realm of monitoring cloud or on-premises applications and DevOps scripts, we frequently want functionalities such as receiving alerts of file creation, deletion, or modification throughout the file system with time stamps, permissions, and location. This feature is provided by the Linux kernel’s built-in function.

Inotify is a feature built-in to the Linux kernel, which also has analogs in most other operating systems: In Windows, filesystem changes are exposed via the Win32 Directory Change Notifications API or the .NET FileSystemWatcher() API. Such mechanisms allow tools to be aware of changes made to directories and/or files they’re interested in. more

Enable Alerts from AWS CloudWatch through Mail.

This blog will show you how to receive alerts from AWS CloudWatch for any AWS service, such as EC2, through email and receive notifications for the same service.

I want to use it to monitor the performance of my AWS EC2 machine. You must first find a way to keep track of your workload so that you can make adjustments in order to cut costs. If the CPU use of your EC2 instance exceeds the threshold, alert management will notify you that Your EC2 instance CPU utilization is beyond the threshold and needed some action to be performed.

So let’s start our journey,*more

MLOps Pipeline via Jenkins and Hyperparameter Optimization

Web Hosting via IPFS and Pinata

In this blog, we will be discussing the web hosting technique via IPFS. So first let’s understand what IPFS mean.

IPFS stands for Interplanetary File system. It is a peer-to-peer network. It’s purpose is to store and provide access to files, websites, data, and applications. It allows users to host and receive content in a decentralized manner via peer-to-peer file sharing. This means that user-operators hold a portion of the overall data which creates a strong system of file storage and sharing. Now let’s understand the working of IPFS :

Usually, when we put a link or any URL in the browser, we technically ask the other computer for the page that we requested. But that’s not the only way we can retrieve the information, rather, if there is any replica of that page on the IPFS that we could use. more

SonarQube integration with Azure DevOps and Svia Service Connections

About Sonarqube With this integration, we will be able to:

Import our Azure DevOps repositories into SonarQube so that we can easily set up SonarQube projects and analyze projects with Azure Pipelines, analysis into the build pipeline. Allow us to easily create SonarQube projects from the Azure DevOps Server repositories. This is also the first step in adding pull request decoration. The builtin SonarScanners running in Azure Pipelines jobs can automatically detect branches or pull requests being made, so we do not need to specifically pass them as parameters to the scanner (branch and pull request analysis is available starting in Developer Edition. Also we will be able to see our Quality Gate and code metric results right in Azure DevOps so that it is safe to merge the changes. more

SonarQube Configuration , Installation ,Deployment via one-click-integration-script in Azure Devops using Decoker

SonarQube manual installation is always a pain for any DevOps Engineer wanting to do a DevSecOps testing on his ongoing code getting build, released and deployed via Azure Pipelines in the Production. Instead of doing installation and configurations which includes running scripts, setting up environment variables ,followed by troubleshooting in the linked Postgres DB and integration, getting things done spending some days, what if I say can be done within 15 mins ?

Yes it is possible .

Whenever wanting to avoid the configuration and installation steps to be done repeatedly avoiding the environment setting up issues, we will go with the best container tools in the market which is Docker. I would highly recommend any person implement this should have some basic knowledge about Docker Containers. To just go through the basics of Docker and standard Docker commands you can refer to this blog
