AWS CDK in Practice - Unleash the power of ordinary coding and streamline complex cloud applications on AWS

Mark Avdi, Leo Lam

Synopsis

As cloud applications are becoming more complex, multiple tools and services have emerged to cater to the challenges of running reliable solutions. Although infrastructure as code, containers, and orchestration tools, such as Kubernetes, have proved to be efficient in solving these challenges, AWS CDK represents a paradigm shift in building easily developed, extended, and maintained applications.
With AWS CDK in Practice, you’ll start by setting up basic day-to-day infrastructure while understanding the new prospects that CDK offers. You’ll learn how to set up pipelines for building CDK applications on the cloud that are long-lasting, agile, and maintainable. You’ll also gain practical knowledge of container-based and serverless application development. Furthermore, you’ll discover how to leverage AWS CDK to build cloud solutions using code instead of configuration files. Finally, you’ll explore current community best practices for solving production issues when dealing with CDK applications.
By the end of this book, you’ll have practical knowledge of CDK, and you’ll be able to leverage the power of AWS with code that is simple to write and maintain using AWS CDK.

Trafficking Data - How China is...

Aynne Kokas

From TikTok and Fortnite to Grindr and Facebook, Aynne Kokas delivers an urgent look into the technology firms that gather our data, and how the Chinese government is capitalizing on this data flow for political gain. 
 
 
 
In Trafficking Data, Aynne Kokas looks at how technology firms in the two largest economies in the world, the United States and China, have exploited government policy (and the lack thereof) to gather information on citizens, putting US national security at risk. Kokas argues that US government leadership failures, Silicon Valley's disruption fetish, and Wall Street's addiction to growth have fueled China's technological goldrush. In turn, American complacency yields an unprecedented opportunity for Chinese firms to gather data in the United States and quietly send it back to China, and by extension, to the Chinese government. Drawing on years of fieldwork in the US and China and a large trove of corporate and policy documents, Trafficking Data explains how China is fast becoming the global leader in internet governance and policy, and thus of the data that defines our public and private lives.

Shingles - Causes Symptoms...

Lilly Richardsen

Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is a viral infection caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), the same virus responsible for chickenpox. Once a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus remains dormant in nerve tissues and can reactivate years or even decades later, leading to shingles. This condition is characterized by a painful rash that typically appears on one side of the body or face, often in a band-like pattern. While shingles is not a life-threatening illness, it can cause significant discomfort and, in some cases, lead to long-term complications such as postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), a persistent nerve pain that can last for months or even years after the rash has healed.
The history of shingles dates back to ancient times, with early descriptions found in medical texts from different cultures. However, it was not until the 20th century that researchers discovered its link to the varicella-zoster virus. The introduction of the chickenpox vaccine in the 1990s significantly reduced the number of new chickenpox cases, which in turn is expected to lower the incidence of shingles over time. Nevertheless, shingles remains a common condition, particularly among older adults and individuals with weakened immune systems.
Understanding who is at risk for shingles is essential for prevention and early intervention. While anyone who has had chickenpox can develop shingles, the likelihood increases with age. The immune system naturally weakens as people grow older, making those over the age of 50 particularly vulnerable. Individuals with compromised immune systems, such as those undergoing chemotherapy, people with HIV/AIDS, or patients on long-term immunosuppressive medications, are also at an increased risk. Additionally, factors such as stress, chronic illness, and certain medical conditions can contribute to the reactivation of the virus.
