How to read and write a file on S3 using lambda function and boto3
Publication
August 04, 2023
In this article you will learn how to save files to S3 and read them using the lambda function and boto3 in the AWS cloud. You’ll also find information about what permissions I’ve given the lambda function to do these things and nothing else. It is good practice to always grant only minimal permissions. It is not worth doing solutions based on admin roles. You should adjust permissions for each function and project individually.
In the corporate world, it is a valued skill that increases security and builds the trust of superiors, because they do not have to correct the code after you, and the entire project does not stretch over time.

August 15, 2022
I had a problem a long time ago, when I gave people access to S3, they treated it like garbage can. Bucket was supposed to be for development purposes only, testing to see if features worked well etc. It’s just that people were testing different things and forgetting to delete files.
I decided to do something about it once and for all. These are buckets for testing and such are to be left empty with no sensitive data, and preferably no data at all

Overlapping network addresses - How to deal with it in AWS using private NAT gateway | tutorial 2023
Publication
July 17, 2023
- Did you know that with a private NAT gateway you can hide your entire network?
- Did you know that if you have 2 networks with the same IP range, the resources contained in them can still connect to each other?
Yes it is possible, in the video I have prepared I talk about the whole process and I also recorded a whole tutorial showing step by step what to do to achieve it.
The video is from July 2023 so it's fresh and current.
A NAT gateway is a Network Address Translation (NAT) service. You can use a NAT gateway so that instances in a private subnet can connect to services outside your VPC but external services cannot initiate a connection with those instances.

Cross account IAM. How to use IAM role from another AWS account.
IAM roles are a powerful tool for managing access to AWS resources,
but they can be tricky to set up and use. Today I will show you how lambda function can use a role from another AWS account.
In one AWS account, you can create a lambda function and assign a role as usual. However, you can create a new IAM role in a completely different AWS account and let the lambda function use it. You can control another AWS account using the Lambda function.
In the video I will use python 3.10 and boto3.

How to find all GP2 volumes in all regions using Amazon Lambda? | AWS tutorial
Publication
March 28, 2023
GP2 volumes are a type of Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volume that provides high-performance SSD storage for your EC2 instances. These volumes are designed for use with I/O-intensive workloads such as relational and NoSQL databases, big data analytics, and log processing applications.
Lambda is a serverless compute service that lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers. With Lambda, you can build applications that automatically scale in response to incoming requests.
How you can find all gp2 volumes in all regions?
You can use the lambda function for this. It's easy, in this tutorial I show you how to do it :)
Why is it worth doing? Because gp3 is in most cases faster, more efficient and of course cheaper :)
Typically, the default volume type is gp2.
If you forgot to change the type to another, the volume is created in the default format, i.e. gp2.
If you have few disks, you can check all disks through the console one by one, in all regions.
However, for those who have a lot of disks and those who like automation, I have prepared this tutorial.
Thanks to it, you can make sure that you haven't forgotten about any old gp2 volume in any region.

How to configure Cloud Watch agent to send metrics about disk space usage.
In CloudWatch, you can set notifications for many parameters and keep everything under control.
It's a good idea to use several levels of notifications.
For example, when the disk space usage exceeds 80%, the entire team can be notified, and when the disk usage exceeds 90%, the entire team and the manager can be notified.

API Gateway & Lambda - how to use API_KEY | security
Publication
December 20, 2022
In this video you will learn how to connect lambda functions to the API Gateway and how easily you can add security to the API Gateway.
I will add the API KEY.
I will show you 2 ways to create an ApiGateway.
First, a longer and a bit more difficult way
and then a simple and fast one.
Securing Your API with API Keys:
API keys are an important part of securing your API. By requiring clients to provide a valid API key, you can ensure that only authorized users are able to access your API. You can also revoke API keys if they are compromised or no longer needed.
In addition to API keys, API Gateway provides other security features like SSL/TLS encryption, AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) integration, and OAuth2.0 support. By using these features in conjunction with API keys, you can create a highly secure and scalable API infrastructur
