Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the market leader in IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) and PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) for cloud ecosystems, which can be combined to create a scalable cloud application without worrying about delays related to infrastructure provisioning (compute, storage, and network) and management.
With AWS you can select the specific solutions you need, and only pay for exactly what you use, resulting in lower capital expenditure and faster time to value without sacrificing application performance or user experience.
Kubernetes is a portable, extensible, open-source platform for managing containerized workloads and services, that facilitates both declarative configuration and automation. It has a large, rapidly growing ecosystem. Kubernetes services, support, and tools are widely available.
With a large number of customers running hybrid environments, many cloud native container solutions offer integration with other platforms but don’t provide continuation of the management. This highly-scalable Kubernetes as a Service is designed to allow developers to run container-based applications and scale as needed
Terraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions.
Configuration files describe to Terraform the components needed to run a single application or your entire datacenter. Terraform generates an execution plan describing what it will do to reach the desired state, and then executes it to build the described infrastructure. As the configuration changes, Terraform is able to determine what changed and create incremental execution plans which can be applied.
Puppet is a simple modeling language used to write code that automates management of infrastructure.
Puppet allows you to simply describe the end state you want systems (we call them “nodes”) to be in. Contrast that with procedural scripts: to write one, you need to know what it will take to get a specific system to a specific state, and be able to write those steps out correctly.
With Puppet, you don’t need to know or specify the steps required to get to the end state, and you aren’t at risk of getting a bad result because you got the order wrong, or made a slight scripting error.
Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together.
Python's simple, easy to learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of program maintenance. Python supports modules and packages, which encourages program modularity and code reuse. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are available in source or binary form without charge for all major platforms, and can be freely distributed.
Go (also referred as Golang) is a procedural and statically-typed programming language having syntax similar to C language. It provides a rich standard library, garbage collection, and dynamic-typing capability.
This language also has key-value maps, length arrays features which are advance level built-in types. Go is the most powerful, performant, and scalable programming language for creating web applications, web APIs, micro-services, and other distributed services. It is one of the fastest-growing, highest-paying programming languages in America.
