Python
Python is a high-level general-purpose programming language, which is Interpreted, Interactive and Object-Oriented. The term object-oriented means it supports object-oriented programming approach to develop applications. Python file is saved as a .py extension. Python’s initial development was led by Guido van Rossum in the late 1980s.
Amazon Lightsail is an Amazon cloud service that offers bundles of cloud compute power and memory for new or less experienced cloud users. Amazon Web Services (AWS) packages memory, processing, storage and transfer into virtual machines (VMs) for customers to purchase, and then releases that compute capacity as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances. Amazon Lightsail derives its compute power from an EC2 instance and repackages it for customers who are new or inexperienced with the cloud. AWS designed the Lightsail service to make it simpler to understand and purchase …
AWS Server Migration Service (SMS) is an ideal solution for the migration from VMware environments to AWS where the downtime, agentless tools, incremental replication, and testing the application before the cutover are critical considerations. AWS migration facilities provide simple services to migrate large-scale data from our on premises.
VPC enables us to launch Amazon services to a Virtual network. This virtual network is owned by its own data centers with the benefits of using AWS services. In each account by default, VPC is already configured. The default VPC is used for testing purposes. The custom VPC is used for more secure network defined in the private subnet. The instances created in default VPC can’t communicate by default. Hardware VPN connection is used for connecting instance to the data center.

AWS Elastic Beanstalk
By using Elastic Beanstalk we can easily manage applications in the AWS Cloud without affecting the infrastructure on the applications. With this, we can manage all of the resources that run on the application as environments. It will reduce the risks in managing applications without restricting choices and the control, as we can simply upload the applications and Beanstalk will automatically handle the load balancing, scaling, application health monitoring and capacity provisioning.
Stackify is a developer-friendly solution that helps developers to manage and troubleshoot application or coding issues with integrated monitoring and error logs. Along with the solutions to monitor and manage their applications’ performance, it also provides a cloud-based solution that provides insights about the application’s performance. In the industry, most of the application monitoring solutions are designed for IT infrastructure. But Stackify is purely designed for developers and it became trending as it combines application logging and code profiling together. It helps software developers in troubleshooting and provides support with …
Munin
Monitoring our systems, networks and server’s performance and activity is one of the duller aspects of administration, and often something that is overlooked until there is a problem. Fortunately, there are many tools that can be used to monitor our system resources with differing levels of complexity and difficulty to configure. One of the simpler tools for getting the details for all the above can be simply derived from the monitoring tools called “Munin”, which is considered as one of the most flexible network resource monitoring systems available for UNIX …
