Terra-forming Medialive Resources
We’ve all been there. Learning to use terraform, writing beautiful code to manage our cloud infrastructure; it’s all sunshine and rainbows. Until you realize you work with video and need to use Medialive resources. Now sure, you can create these resources from the aws console like a nomad and pass in the arn to make your CD pipeline do what it needs to do but unfortunately we are not nomads. We are engineers and hackers...
Invoke AWS Lambda from AWS Step Functions with Terraform
Terraform Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as a code software tool. It allows building, changing, and versioning the infrastructure. Terraform uses a declarative approach to define the infrastructure. Users will define the end infrastructure that they want and terraform will do the rest of the thing to have that infrastructure. Terraform allows its users to define and describe the infrastructure using a declarative configuration language known as HCL or HashiCorp Configuration Language. When the end infrastructure is defined terraform...
Terraform support for job templates and output presets of AWS Elemental MediaConvert
AWS Elemental MediaConvert is a media transcoding service of AWS. For supporting vast VOD service, MediaConvert is very useful and reliable. Terraform is an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool which supports multiple Cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP. Unfortunately due to a lot of configurations of MediaConvert, terraform does not support MediaConvert resource and settings management yet. In this tutorial, we are going to take a look at how can we achieve this. MediaConvert Job Templates The job template is a part of...
A journey to AWS Lambda integration testing with Python, Localstack, and Terraform
To start with unit testing for AWS Lambda, we can just choose a testing framework and start writing our beautiful unit tests. For testing AWS services we also can use some mock tools like moto. But what about integration testing? A solution may be to deploy with the Continuous Deployment tool and run some test code against real AWS services. But there are some problems: It takes more time to deploy every timeRunning test code against AWS takes more timeIncreases the AWS bills So...
Automate python libraries deployment at AWS Lambda layer from Pipfile with Terraform
AWS Lambda, a part of Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a serverless computing service that works as FaaS (Function as a Service). A FaaS is a service which provides users to develop and manage application service without thinking about infrastructure. Terraform is an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool which is developed by Hasi Corp to manage resources of cloud services like AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, etc. It is open-source and developed by golang. It is always challenging to zip the codes and upload them...
