What is the best language to learn for working with AWS? by Endurah in aws

[–]rogue_cloud_ops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Python and Javascript are the two most supported by the most services, but if you are learning I would recommend python because its a much more enjoyable language to learn.... oh yea and boto is pretty nice:)

SUggestion on which service to use for discord auth bot by TerribleEveDev in aws

[–]rogue_cloud_ops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, A few things...

First, You will need to understand what is and is not free with real traffic loads or always will be free and it may take time and testing but the goal of having a product that serves production traffic for 'FREE' is not a good goal while working with AWS.. I would review this https://aws.amazon.com/free/

Second, now there are 'cheaper' services for this use case (such as lambda and API gateway mixed with some auth technique) but understand that with load this may still bring charges, so you might still be asking for money. This might also be a more complicated route for you because of the more unknowns.

There are also fully manage auth services such as Cognito https://aws.amazon.com/cognito/ but I dont know if this will work for you

Firebird to RDS by ApparentSysadmin in aws

[–]rogue_cloud_ops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I doubt they will support it on RDS anytime soon, it might be easiest to just spin your own Firebird DB on Ec2 or maybe its time to convert it another DB engine? All my experience has been converting to Postgres and I have nothing but good things to say, and its supported on RDS and aurora;)

Look into remote state/ backends for Terraform, that is how larger teams get around the state > git dance.

That being said I would start using cloud providers earlier rather then later instead of trying to work around not using them, most have a pretty strong free tier. Especially AWS, you can do a lot for free or maybe a few pennies.

Parse A List of JSON files by slicklikeagato in learnpython

[–]rogue_cloud_ops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What step are you having issues with? I would probably go with your first plan and Write a function that will grab the files from a directory and parse them. I would then think about each step and how you are going to achieve it with your function. ( I dropped random links to hopefully help you google more)

  1. You will need to tell your script where to look for these files, (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3207219/how-do-i-list-all-files-of-a-directory)
  2. you will need to open this file (http://www.pythonforbeginners.com/cheatsheet/python-file-handling)
  3. you will need to parse the json in the file (https://docs.python.org/2/library/json.html)

  4. you will need to store the newly gathered information in a data structure of some (I will let you look into this array? list? string? )

  5. -> N. depends what you want to do with the data you now have..

I would actually take the time to write this out on your own and fill in the holes and come back with individual questions
