ARGGG! The internet went out. What to do while I wait? I know! Write a bash script to let me know when the internet is back up!
AWS Workspaces - How Not to Buy a Windows Notebook
A few days ago I needed to test a Lambda function build script for my recent Pluralsight course on a Windows machine. One of my course viewers notices that the bash build script I’d written for unix environments was incompatible with Windows bash. Because of this I needed to write a custom .bat script for windows environments.
Only one problem, I don’t own a Windows machine, and I don’t want to.
Compiled Python Libraries and AWS Lambda
Recently I was trying to use the psycopg2 libraries for Python in combination with AWS Lambda. My first hint that this was probably overkill was that the function package, when zipped, started exceeding 50MB. AWS console errors quickly reminded me that 50MB is the size limit for Lambda packages. After correcting a few mistakes (my virtualenv bundled in with my dependencies - Whoops!) and trimming some dependencies I started testing again. This time with a function package just a few bytes under the limit.
