AWS Thinks it Can Solve NVIDIA’s Customer Problems

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is preparing to take on NVIDIA as a strong contender as its 2015 acquisition of Annapurna Labs is proving to be an advantage.
AWS claims that Trainium2 offers 30-40% better price performance than the previous generation of GPU-based EC2 instances.
AWS is working with Anthropic to build Project Rainier – a large AI compute cluster powered by thousands of Trainium2 chips.
While AWS is making strides in the AI chip market with Trainium, beating NVIDIA's dominance won't be easy.

ChatGPT search tool vulnerable to manipulation and deception, tests show

The ChatGPT search tool, developed by OpenAI, has potential security issues that could allow the tool to be manipulated and return malicious code from websites.
The tool is available to paying customers and is being touted as a default search tool.
The Guardian tested how ChatGPT responded when asked to summarize hidden content on webpages and found examples of ‘prompt injection’.
Prompts are simple pieces of concealed text that can contain instructions that alter the tool’s responses, for example by skewing reviews.
One test included fake reviews to influence an overwhelmingly positive summary of the product.
The ChatGPT tool was also tested by a cybersecurity researcher who believes that people could create websites to deceive users if the tool is released without proper testing.
OpenAI warns users to check important information due to the possibility of errors in ChatGPT’s output.
Karsten Nohl, the chief scientist at cybersecurity firm SR Labs, said AI chat services should be used more like a “co-pilot” and that outputs should not be used completely unfiltered.
A key question raised is how these vulnerabilities could affect website practices and risk to users if combining search and large language models becomes more widespread.
Hidden text has historically been penalized by search engines, like Google, but the practice may not deter websites using it to try to maintain a good rank in search engines.

Public IP Address in Azure | Understanding Public IP Address in Azure VM

Understanding Public IP Addresses in Azure is crucial for building accessible and secure applications.
Public IP address in Azure is used to communicate with external resources and services.
Azure provides dynamic and static public IP addresses for resources.
Assigning Public IP to an Azure VM is easy.
Remote access, load balancing, DNS resolution, and security considerations are the reasons why you need a Public IP address in Azure VM.
Best practices for managing Public IPs in Azure VMs are to use Static IPs for critical resources, implement Network Security Groups (NSGs), use application gateway or load balancer, and monitor and audit Public IP usage.
Public IPs play an indispensable role in making resources accessible to users and services across the internet.
Connect with S3 Cloud Hub for learning Azure concepts.

Creating an AWS + NextJS site for the Cloud Resume Challenge

The Cloud Resume Challenge involves building a resume website using modern cloud technologies. For this challenge, a static resume site in NextJS that is hosted on S3 and Cloudfront is created with a user count tracking feature using Lambda and DynamoDB.
The frontend components are implemented using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) earlier than required using Terraform. The website is secured with HTTPS through AWS Certificate Manager.
Lambda function is implemented in Python that stores and updates the user count as a statistic record in the DynamoDB database.
The website retrieves the data from the backend and makes the counter that shows the correct number of visitors on the website.
The fourth chunk involves migrating the remaining backend infrastructure to IaC with Terraform and creating a CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions.
The author learned that creating tests that ensure the website is functioning properly became as important as writing the code for the website itself. Cypress, a testing framework, was used to write end-to-end tests for the API gateway.
By being willing to break away from bad habits, the author changed their workflow for the better and learned about modern DevOps principles.
The project code is available for front-end and back-end.

Terraform: Steps to create complete AWS S3 module

Terraform enables users to simplify the process of organizing and reusing infrastructure code by creating modules.
Using Terraform modules becomes important in cases where users need to reuse infrastructure code across different projects.
Step 1 involves setting up the module structure to keep the Terraform code organized and maintainable.
Step 2 involves defining the core resources for the module in the main.tf file.
Step 3 requires defining the input variables for the module in the variables.tf file.
Step 4 involves defining the required providers and their respective versions in providers.tf.
Step 5 involves defining the output values that will be exposed by the module in outputs.tf file.
Step 6 involves using the Terraform module in the root configuration by defining the values for the variables.
Creating a Terraform module helps organize code and define reusable components, such as managing S3 buckets with advanced features like versioning, encryption, and policies.
Terraform modules can be used to minimize duplication, encapsulate logic for a group of resources, and follow best practices.
