➡️𝗗𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 are self-contained units that package your application code, runtime, system tools, settings, and libraries
➡️𝗗𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 are blueprints that contain instructions for creating containers.
➡️𝗗𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻 (𝗱𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿𝗱) is the engine that builds, runs, and manages Docker containers.
➡️𝗗𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗟𝗜 is the tool you use to interact with the Docker daemon.
➡️𝗗𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 are repositories that store and share Docker images.
➡️𝗗𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 manage how data is stored and persisted within containers.
➡️𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 like Kubernetes that help you manage and scale large deployments of Docker containers. They take care of provisioning, scheduling, and healing your containers, making it easier to run complex applications in production.

✨7 must-know strategies to scale your database.

1️⃣ Indexing:
Check the query patterns of your application and create the right indexes.
2️⃣ Materialized Views:
Pre-compute complex query results and store them for faster access.
3️⃣ Denormalization:
Reduce complex joins to improve query performance.
4️⃣ Vertical Scaling
Boost your database server by adding more CPU, RAM, or storage.
5️⃣ Caching
Store frequently accessed data in a faster storage layer to reduce database load.
6️⃣ Replication
Create replicas of your primary database on different servers for scaling the reads.
7️⃣ Sharding
Split your database tables into smaller pieces and spread them across servers. Used for scaling the writes as well as the reads.

Let's get started with Terraform
🧤 a tool provided by HashiCorp for writing, planning
and creating infrastructure as code (IaC) in various cloud services.

🔬Well, let's start with an excellent course
Which is basically not big and you will need a trial access
to educative.io to complete it. This course is perfect for those
who want to understand the basics of Terraform and start
confidently creating infrastructure in AWS and beyond with a declarative approach.

🗣 Load balancers improve application performance, availability, and scalability 💪🏼
🔹Traffic Distribution:
Load balancers evenly distribute incoming traffic among a pool of servers, ensuring optimal resource utilization and preventing any single server from becoming overwhelmed.
🔸High Availability:
If a server fails, the load balancer automatically redirects traffic to the remaining healthy servers.
🔹SSL Termination:
Load balancers can handle SSL/TLS encryption and decryption, offloading this CPU-intensive task from backend servers.
🔸Session Persistence:
For applications that require maintaining user sessions on a specific server, load balancers support session persistence.
🔹Scalability:
Load balancers facilitate horizontal scaling by allowing easy addition of servers to the pool.
🔸Health Monitoring:
Load balancers continuously monitor server health and performance. They exclude unhealthy servers from the pool, ensuring that only healthy servers handle in requests.

▶️ We are starting to learn AWS and I think it is better to start with this course ( Prepare for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate (SAA-C03) Certification)

➡️ This is a great course for those who want to dive into the world of Amazon Web Services and acquire perhaps the best cloud tools for implementing the best DevOps practices in the future, creating a dynamic infrastructure platform for your projects.

What does API gateway do?🕵🏼

👣 (1) The client sends an HTTP request to the API gateway.
👣 (2) The API gateway parses and validates the attributes in the HTTP request.
👣 (3) The API gateway performs allow-list/deny-list checks.
👣 (4) The API gateway talks to an identity provider for authentication and authorization.
👣 (5) The rate limiting rules are applied to the request. If it is over the limit, the request is rejected.
👣 (6,7) Now that the request has passed basic checks, the API gateway finds the relevant service to route to by path matching.
👣 (8) The API gateway transforms the request into the appropriate protocol and sends it to backend microservices.
👣 (9-12) The API gateway can handle errors properly, and deals with faults if the error takes a longer time to recover (circuit break). It can also leverage ELK (Elastic-Logstash-Kibana) stack for logging and monitoring. We sometimes cache data in the API gateway.

How its Linux Boot Process works ? 🕵🏻‍♂️

🔌 When we turn on the power, BIOS or UEFI firmware is loaded from non-volatile memory, and executes POST (Power On Self Test).
💽 BIOS/UEFI detects the devices connected to the system, including CPU, RAM, and storage.
💿 Choose a booting device to boot the OS from. This can be the hard drive, the network server, or CD ROM.
📀 BIOS/UEFI runs the boot loader (GRUB), which provides a menu to choose the OS or the kernel functions.
🖥 After the kernel is ready, we now switch to the user space. The kernel starts up systemd as the first user-space process, which manages the processes and services, probes all remaining hardware, mounts filesystems, and runs a desktop environment.
📟 systemd activates the default. target unit by default when the system boots. Other analysis units are executed as well.
🎚The system runs a set of startup scripts and configure the environment.
📱The users are presented with a login window. The system is now ready.
