How to create AWS Lambda with AWS SAM CLI

Posted on by admin
How to install AWS CLI with Homebrew

According to my experience, if you want to create an AWS Lambda without interactive mode, 15 templates below don't exists for each runtime, for example, Data processing template only exists for dotnet and nodejs.

Notice that third template name is Hello World Example with Powertools for AWS Lambda in below output, but if you want to create a project with python runtime and third template in the below sam init output, you have to use hello-world-powertools-python as a template name. But it is not mentioned in help. So, i just used sam init in interactive mode and output of this command showed me template name.

sam init --name my-data-processing-app --runtime python3.9 --dependency-manager pip --app-template hello-world-powertools-python

$ sam init

You can preselect a particular runtime or package type when using the `sam init` experience.
Call `sam init --help` to learn more.

Which template source would you like to use?
	1 - AWS Quick Start Templates
	2 - Custom Template Location
Choice: 1

Choose an AWS Quick Start application template
	1 - Hello World Example
	2 - Data processing
	3 - Hello World Example with Powertools for AWS Lambda
	4 - Multi-step workflow
	5 - Scheduled task
	6 - Standalone function
	7 - Serverless API
	8 - Infrastructure event management
	9 - Lambda Response Streaming
	10 - Serverless Connector Hello World Example
	11 - Multi-step workflow with Connectors
	12 - Full Stack
	13 - Lambda EFS example
	14 - DynamoDB Example
	15 - Machine Learning
Template: 1

Use the most popular runtime and package type? (Python and zip) [y/N]:

How to create AWS Lambda, Azure Function, Google Cloud Function with Serverless Framework CLI

Posted on by admin

Serverless framework is a CLI to build cloud applications. There are more than 10 Serverless Infrastructure Providers like AWS, Azure and GCP as shown below screenshot.

Find more Serverless Framework CLI command in Azure Serverless TypeScript project in GitHub

According to my experience, Serverless Framework gives a better support for AWS provider, for example, if you see project template below, there are many project templates for AWS but very less support for other providers.

Find more details in https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/getting-started

Azure CLI

Azure CLI, or Azure Command Line Interface, is a set of commands used to create and manage Azure resources. It is a cross-platform command-line tool that's available for Windows, macOS, and Linux and can be run in the Azure Cloud Shell directly from a web browser.

Azure CLI is designed to be easy to learn and get started with but powerful enough to manage your entire Azure environment. It's optimized for automation and can be used in a DevOps pipeline. You can use Azure CLI to create and manage resources such as virtual machines, storage accounts, and web apps, among others.

Before using Azure CLI, you need to authenticate with your Azure account. You can do this by using the az login command, which opens a web browser for you to sign in with your Azure credentials.

Azure CLI Usage Pattern

$ az [group] [subgroup] [command]

Example – to create a new resource group

$ az group create

Installing

$ brew update && brew install azure-cli

Verifying

$ az --version

azure-cli                         2.26.1 *

core                              2.26.1 *
telemetry                          1.0.6

Python location '/usr/local/Cellar/azure-cli/2.26.1/libexec/bin/python'
Extensions directory '/Users/kenanhancer/.azure/cliextensions'

Python (Darwin) 3.8.11 (default, Jun 29 2021, 03:08:07) 
[Clang 12.0.5 (clang-1205.0.22.9)]

Creating Azure Function App for Python with Azure Functions Core Tools CLI

Posted on by admin
How to install Azure CLI and Azure Functions Core Tools CLI with Homebrew
Azure Functions Basics

We cannot specify the Python runtime version with FUNCTIONS_EXTENSION_VERSION. The FUNCTIONS_EXTENSION_VERSION setting is specifically for specifying the version of the Azure Functions runtime, not the version of Python.

The Azure Functions runtime is the host that runs your functions. It's a separate concept from the Python runtime. Each version of the Azure Functions runtime has a range of versions of Python (and other languages) that it supports, but you can't use the FUNCTIONS_EXTENSION_VERSION setting to choose a specific Python version.

The version of Python that's used in your function app is typically determined by the environment in which the app is running. When running locally, this will be the version of Python that's available in your local environment. When running in Azure, the Python version is determined by the configuration of your Azure Functions host.

If you want to specify a Python version for local development, you can do so using a Python version management tool like pyenv, and creating a .python-version file in the root of your function app project. For deployment in Azure, you specify the Python version when you create the Function App.

Remember to check the Azure Functions runtime support for your chosen Python version. Azure Functions 4.x runtime supports Python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10 for now.

Prerequisite check for Python

$ az --version
$ az login
$ func --version
$ python --version

Create and activate a virtual environment with virtualenv package manager

virtualenv (for Python 2) and venv (for Python 3) allow you to manage separate package installations for different projects.

Azure DevOps: Creating Personal Access Token (PAT)

Posted on by admin
Azure DevOps REST API

Sign in to your organisation (https://dev.azure.com/{yourorganization})

Treat and use a PAT like your password and keep it a secret.

Use your PAT anywhere your user credentials are required for authentication in Azure DevOps.

You can use a personal access token (PAT) as an alternate password to authenticate into Azure DevOps.

A personal access token contains your security credentials for Azure DevOps. A PAT identifies you, your accessible organizations, and scopes of access. As such, they're as critical as passwords, so you should treat them the same way.

If you're working within Microsoft tools, then your Microsoft account (MSA) or Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is an acceptable and well-supported approach. But, if you're working with third-party tools that don't support Microsoft or Azure AD accounts – or you don't want to provide your primary credentials to the tool – use PATs to limit your risk.
