How to pre-configure EC2 instances using AWS CDK and avoid a nasty trap?

Introduction In this article, I will explain deploying an EC2 instance using AWS CDK and Python code. I will present how we can pre-configure that instance and execute a custom script during the first boot. The EC2 User Data We can store parameters or scripts as user data.

The importance of synthetic data in designing, developing, and testing IoT solutions.

It is critical to design, develop, and test IoT solutions efficiently and effectively. To enable that agility, solution developers require access to telemetry - data that is (or will be) generated by IoT devices. Unfortunately, acquiring that information is more complicated than it might seem. Utilizing hardware prototypes to obtain telemetry data is inefficient for the following reasons: ❌ The hardware and firmware developed are parallel to the backend application, creating dependency and impacting the application development.
