Introduction

AWS CodeBuild is a managed service from Amazon Web Services (AWS) that allows developers to build applications without having to manage servers. This makes it easier for them to build, test and deploy their services.

AWS CodeBuild has become very popular because it helps developers create and run builds faster, cheaper, and with less effort. The service provides a graphical interface where they can choose from over 200 prebuilt templates that contain code snippets and other resources needed to complete tasks.

CodeBuild is a cloud-based service that automates the entire deployment process. It enables developers to upload source files, configure environments, and then execute commands to build and test projects. Once built, the resulting artifacts are stored in S3 buckets and can be accessed through APIs.

AWS EC2 R6 instances are memory optimized instances that are built to deliver fast performance for workloads that process large data sets in memory.

In this article, we will compare the R6g, R6a, and R6i instance types within the R6 instance family and look at how each of them performs.

AWS recently announced the 7th generation of their Compute instance family. These are the first instances powered by the new AWS Graviton3 processors.

The Graviton processors offer better performance at a lower cost and additional capabilities.

In this article, we will compare the C7g instance family with the Graviton3 processors to the C6g instance family with the previous generation of Graviton2 processors.

Introduction

Amazon S3 is a highly scalable object storage service. It offers high availability, durability, and performance. Through the Amazon Console and S3 API, you can access S3 data from anywhere across the world.

S3 offers different storage tiers to store data as per user requirements. S3 Intelligent Tiering was introduced by AWS in 2018, adding the option to utilize S3 without having a thorough grasp of your data access patterns. Intelligent tiering lessens the manual work required to shift across different storage classes to save money and enhance performance.

Introduction

AWS Boto3 is the Python SDK for AWS. Boto3 can be used to directly interact with AWS resources from Python scripts.

Boto3’s S3 API doesn’t have any method to download multiple files from an S3 bucket in parallel. You have the option of downloading one file at a time but that is time consuming.

In this tutorial, we will look at how we can download multiple files in parallel to speed up the process of downloading multiple files from S3.
