Self-Study Day: Understanding Some of AWS's Tools, Part 2

Okay, I have to admit that I got pretty tired and overwhelmed just from all the reading.

But I wanted to get a bit more done before the end of today. So I decided to break it down into a smaller blog post and into smaller pieces.

Last two remaining tools: kinesis and authentication

Kinesis

  • Kinsesis data streams is a REAL-TIME DATA STREAMING SERVICE
  • Data producers send data to kinesis to stream
    • WOW, THIS IS CRAZY, WOW
    • WOW, NOW WE ARE TALKING, WOW
    • WOW, THIS IS SO IN LINE WITH MY AI WATER RESEARCH, WOW

DATA FIREHOSE

Data firehose is a service for delivering streaming data to storage.

To places like s3...

Authentication

Ah no worries. This is not something I actually need to learn. This is just about explaining how the company handles authentication to AWS internally. Which, A) I already know how to do and B) I would never post about on here.

It just explains a lot more about the types of different roles that a different AWS user can have in the company too - which really helps and gives more info - thanks.

Today has been an eye-opener. Next time I'm looking forward to the classics - k8s, terraform, circle ci.... xxx

P.S. Just a note to myself. I need to pack my computer to Leeds.

As otherwise I will not be able to work for a week without it. So as soon as this blog post is done and therefore my work for the day then I will 
  • close the laptop
  • put it in its cherry coloured case
  • then put it in my suitcase
Thank you!!!

Hello World

 Hello from Susanna Codes! Hi everyone,  My name is Susanna and I'm a 28-year-old aspiring software engineer from Brighton! As I type this, listening to music from "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain" (it reminds me of home, in Luxembourg, where I am from - I'm missing home quite a lot lately!) and look forward to some Irish Cream tea in my afternoon break, I am thinking: How lucky I am that my amazing colleague Rosana helped me out with a plan for my software engineer journey (she directed me to the front-end first). How HTML and CSS would not have been my first languages of choice had I not been guided in this direction, as in my head they were seen as 'less-serious' langages. How done I am with what other people think of me and if other people see the 'front-end' as softer then so be it! Everyone has to start somewhere. I am so grateful to be on this journey, with Codecademy's Front-End Engineer Career Path.  Thank you to Async Brighton as ...

Where To Hide A Star

Where To Hide A Star I haven’t read this book but I just saw this title of a forthcoming children’s book on the train and so I wanted to write a blog post based off of this as well. The last six months have been… rewarding and fulfilling. I have managed to make all of my dreams come true and to defy expectations,  Sometimes the best place to hide is in plain sight and if you reread all of my blogs over the last six months (all 200 of them) you would know exactly what I’m struggling at work and what was going on. And why. But I’ve managed to overcome most of my challenges. Neurodiversity. Being very new in the field relative to the expectations of the job. Being in a new workplace environment. All stuff which I can handle and I am doing just fine. Because I am amazing and fabulous and I can do anything. I am loving the job. I am thriving. I am loving just getting on with it. I love my work. I am having massive breakthroughs. On Thursday I had what felt like the biggest breakthrough ...

In the Water, I find Fire

In the Water, I find Fire Who am I without renewable energy? I had to ask myself this question last year when my company laid off half its employees.  I didn’t know who I was anymore. Not without renewable energy. But I did everything I could to stay in it. The time in between jobs allowed me to experiment. Travel around the UK a bit. Reconnect with old hobbies. Rediscover my femininity a bit - be someone who wasn’t always working. But I fought to stay in renewable energy. A part of myself has been telling myself that I am in renewable energy still and that’s great because I am. But I am mostly in water. And that was hard for me to accept that. Because I love renewable energy so so much. And I couldn’t imagine my life without it. But now I can. Not because I don’t love it But because I need to give myself to something more too and that is water Because in the water I find my passion In the water, I find my fire In the water, I find my self again In the water, I find my Self So let’...
