 ABSTRACT

Data engineering is the science of analysing raw data to make conclusions about
that information. Data engineering relies on a variety of software tools ranging
from spreadsheets, data visualization, and reporting tools, data mining programs,
or open- source languages for the greatest data manipulation. Data Analysis
mainly deals with data collection, data storage, data preprocessing and data
visualisation.

In the course-1 we have learnt about the cloud computing, Cloud computing is
the on- demand delivery of compute power, database, storage, applications, and
other IT resources via the internet with pay-as-you-go pricing. These resources
run on server computers that are located in large data centers in different
locations around the world. When you use a cloud service provider like AWS,
that service provider owns the computers that you. This course deals with the
following main concepts of compute services, storge services, management
services, database services, compliance services, AWS cost management
services.

As a part of our course-2 we learnt data engineering which deals with the raw
data to draw solutions. In this course we have learnt about big data which is the
main and foremost important tool for the data analysis so, this big data is very
important for data engineering, and here comes the problem of storing the data
for that we have learnt different tools used for data storage and how to analyse
the big data and preprocess the data the following are the concepts that we learnt
in this course. The main concepts includes storage using AMAZON includes

 1. INTRODUCTION TO CLOUD CONCEPTS

Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of compute power, database, storage,

applications, and other IT resources via the internet with pay-as-you-go pricing. These
resources run on server computers that are located in large data centers in different
locations around the world. When you use a cloud service provider like AWS, that service
provider owns the computers that you are using. These resources can be used together like
building blocks to build solutions that help meet business goals and satisfy technology
requirements.

The services provided by cloud computing are:

I. IAAS(Infrastructure as a service)
II. PAAS(Platform as a service)
III. SAAS(Software as a service)

The cloud deployment models are:

I. Public

II. Private

III. Hybrid

 2. CLOUD ECONOMICS AND BILLING

WHAT IS AWS?
AWS is designed to allow application providers, ISVs, and vendors toquickly
and securely host your applications – whether an existing application or a new SaaS-based
application. You can use the AWS Management Console or well-documented web services
APIsto access AWS's application hosting platform.
HOW WE PAY FOR THE RESOURCES USED IN AWS?
1. Pay for what you use
2. Pay less when you reserve
3. Pay less when you use more
4. Pay even less as AWS grows
AWS realizes that every customer has different needs. If none of the AWS pricing models
work for your project, custom pricing is available for high-volume projects with unique
requirements.There are some rules associated with the amount paying to AWS:
• There is no charge (with some exceptions) for:
o Inbound data transfer.
o Data transfer between services within the same AWS Region.
• Pay for what you use.
• Start and stop anytime.
• No long-term contracts are required.
Some services are free, but the other AWS services that they provision might not be free

11
WHAT IS TCO?
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is the financial estimate to help identify direct
and indirect costs of a system.

WHY USE TCO?

• To compare the costs of running an entire infrastructure environment or specific
work load on premises versus on AWS
• To budget and build the business case for moving to the cloud.
Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to:
• Estimate monthly costs

Fig:4-Shared Responsibility Model

14
IAM:
With AWS identity and access management (IAM) you can specify who or what can access
services and resources in AWS. IAM is a web service that helps securely control access to
AWS resources. We use IAM control who is authenticated and authorized to use resources.

There are two types of IAM policies:

1. AWS managed policies

2. Customer managed policies

There are four components of IAM:

1. Privileged account management
2. Identity administration
3. User Activity Monitoring
4. Access Governance

Securing a new AWS account:

1. Safeguard your password and access keys

2. Activate multi-factor authentication on AWS account root user and any users
with interactive access to IAM
3. Limit AWS account root user access to your resources itself
4. Audit IAM users and their policies frequently
A person can have multiple AWS accounts
SECURITY ACCOUNTS:

We need to secure accounts because if hacker cracks your passwords they

could gain access to social medial accounts, bank accounts, e-mails and all other accounts
that holds personal data. If someone obtain the access to the information you could become
the victim of identity theft.

15
Make your account more secure by –

• Update account recovery options

• Remove risky access to your data
• Turn on screen locks
• Update your browser
• Update your apps, OS
• Manage your passwords

 5. NETWORKING AND CONTENT DELIVERY

This module includes some activities that challenge you to label a network diagram and
design a basic VPC architecture.
NETWORIKNG BASICS:
A computer network is two or more client machines that are connected
together to share resources. A network can be logically partitioned into subnets. Networking
requires a networking device (such as a router or switch) to connect all the clients together
and enable communication between them.
Each client machine in a network has a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address
that identifies it. A 32-bit IP address is called an IPv4 address. A 128-bit IP address is called
an IPv6 address. IPv6 addresses can accommodate more user devices. A common method to
describe networks is Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR). The bits that are not fixed are
allowed to change. CIDR is a way to express a group of IP addresses that are consecutive to
each other.

Fig:5-Networking & Content Delivery

AMAZON VPC:
VPC Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) is a service that lets you
provision a logically isolated section of the AWS Cloud (called a virtual private cloud, or

Introduction to data Engineering

Data engineering is the process of designing and building systems that let people collect and analyze raw
data from multiple sources and formats. These systems empower people to find practice applications of
the data, which businesses can use to thrive.
Data engineering is a skill that is in increasing demand. Data engineers are the people who design the
system that unifies data and can help you navigate it. Data engineers perform many different tasks
including:

• Acquisition: Finding all the different data sets around the business
• Cleansing: Finding and cleaning any errors in the data
• Conversion: Giving all the data a common format
• Disambiguation: Interpreting data that could be interpreted in multiple ways
• Deduplication: Removing duplicate copies of data
Once this is done, data may be stored in a central repository such as a datalake or data lakehouse.
Data engineers may also copy and move subsets of data into a data warehouse

 2. Data Driven Organizations

The Genesis of DataDriven Organizations:

The genesis of data-driven organizations can be traced back to the dawn of the information
age, where the advent of technology ushered in an era of unprecedented data proliferation. Initially
viewed as mere byproducts of digital transactions, data soon evolved into a strategic asset, offering
insights into consumer behavior, market trends, and operational efficiency. Organizations began to
recognize the intrinsic value of data, laying the foundation for a paradigm shift in decision-making –
from intuition-driven to data-driven.

The Pillars of Data-Driven Culture:

At the heart of every data-driven organization lies a culture that embraces data as a strategic
imperative. This culture is built upon three foundational pillars: data literacy, data transparency, and
data-driven decision-making. Data literacy entails equipping employees with the skills and knowledge
needed to understand, interpret, and analyze data effectively. Meanwhile, data transparency fosters a
culture of openness and accountability, where data is accessible, reliable, and trustworthy. Finally,
data-driven decision-making empowers stakeholders to leverage data insights in every aspect of their
decision-making process, driving innovation and agility across the organization.

The Role of Technology in Data-Driven Transformation:

Technology serves as the backbone of data-driven transformation, providing the infrastructure,
tools, and platforms needed to harness the power of data effectively. From advanced analytics and
artificial intelligence to cloud computing and big data technologies, organizations leverage a myriad
of technological innovations to unlock the full potential of their data assets. Moreover, the rise of data
management systems, such as data lakes and data warehouses, enables organizations to consolidate,
integrate, and analyze vast volumes of data in real-time, facilitating informed decision-making at scale.

Challenges and Opportunities in the Data-Driven Journey:

Despite the promises of data-driven transformation, organizations face a myriad of challenges on
their journey towards becoming truly data-driven. These challenges range from data silos and
legacy systems to data privacy and security concerns. Moreover, cultural resistance and
organizational inertia often pose significant barriers to adoption, hindering the realization of the full
potential of data-driven initiatives. However, amidst these challenges lie boundless opportunities for
innovation, differentiation, and competitive advantage. Organizations that embrace the data-driven
mindset, foster a culture of experimentation, and invest in the right technologies stand poised to thrive

26
in the digital age.

The Future of Data-Driven Organizations:

As we gaze into the horizon of the future, the trajectory of data-driven organizations appears
both promising and uncertain. Rapid advancements in technology, coupled with evolving
regulatory landscapes, continue to shape the contours of the data-driven journey. Moreover, the
democratization of data and the rise of citizen data scientists herald a new era of empowerment,
where insights are no longer confined to the realm of data experts but are accessible to all. Yet,
amidst this uncertainty, one thing remains clear – data will continue to be the driving force
behind organizational innovation, disruption, and transformation.

27
 3. The Elements of Data

The Essence of Data:

At its essence, data embodies information – raw and unrefined, waiting to be unlocked,
interpreted, and harnessed. It comprises a myriad of elements, each contributing to its richness,
complexity, and utility. From structured data, characterized by its organized format and predefined
schema, to unstructured data, defined by its fluidity and lack of formal structure, the diversity of data
elements mirrors the diversity of human experiences, thoughts, and interactions.

Structured Data:
Structured data represents the foundation of traditional databases, characterized by its organized
format, predictable schema, and tabular structure. This form of data lends itself well to relational
databases, where information is stored in rows and columns, enabling efficient storage, retrieval, and
analysis. Examples of structured data include transaction records, customer profiles, and inventory
lists, each meticulously organized to facilitate easy access and manipulation.

Unstructured Data:
In contrast to structured data, unstructured data defies conventional categorization,
encompassing a wide array of formats, including text, images, videos, and audio recordings. This form
of data lacks a predefined schema, making it inherently more challenging to analyze and interpret.
However, within the realm of unstructured data lies a treasure trove of insights, waiting to be
unearthed through advanced analytics, natural language processing, and machine learning
algorithms.

Semi-Structured Data:

Semi-structured data occupies a unique space between structured and unstructured data,
combining elements of both. While it may possess some semblance of organization, such as tags
or metadata, it lacks the rigid structure of traditional databases. Examples of semi-structured data
include XML files, JSON Documents, and log files, each offering a flexible framework for
storing and exchanging information across disparate systems.

28
 The Lifecycle of Data:
Beyond its structural composition, data traverses a lifecycle – from its inception to its eventual
obsolescence. This lifecycle encompasses five distinct stages: capture, storage, processing, analysis,
and dissemination. At each stage, data undergoes transformation, refinement, and enrichment, evolving
from mere bytes to actionable insights that drive informed decision-making and strategic planning.

29
 4. Data Principles and Patterns for Data Pipelines

This exploration delves into the intricacies of data pipeline design, unveiling the principles and
patterns that enable organizations to orchestrate data flows efficiently, reliably, and at scale.

The Foundation of Data Pipeline Design:

At the heart of effective data pipeline design lies a foundation built upon three fundamental
principles: scalability, reliability, and maintainability. Scalability ensures that data pipelines can
handle increasing volumes of data without compromising performance or efficiency. Reliability
guarantees that data is processed accurately and consistently, even in the face of failures or disruptions.
Maintainability encompasses the ease with which data pipelines can be modified, extended, and
debugged over time, ensuring their longevity and adaptability in a rapidly evolving landscape.

Design Patterns for Data Pipelines:

To achieve these principles, data engineers rely on a myriad of design patterns that encapsulate
best practices, strategies, and techniques for building robust and efficient data pipelines. Among these
patterns are:

1. Extract, Transform, Load (ETL): This classic pattern involves extracting data from various
sources, transforming it into a structured format, and loading it into a destination for analysis or
storage. ETL pipelines are well-suited for batch processing scenarios, where data is collected and
processed in discrete chunks.

2. Event-Driven Architecture: In contrast to batch processing, event-driven architecture enables

real-time data processing and analysis by reacting to events as they occur. This pattern is ideal for
scenarios where immediate insights or actions are required, such as fraud detection, monitoring, or
recommendation systems.

3. Lambda Architecture: Combining the strengths of both batch and stream processing, the
Lambda architecture provides a framework for building robust, fault-tolerant data pipelines
that can handle both historical and real-time data. By leveraging batch and speed layers in
parallel, organizations can achieve comprehensive insights with low latency.

30
4. Microservices Architecture: In the realm of distributed systems, microservices architecture
offers a modular approach to building data pipelines, where individual components or services
are decoupled and independently deployable. This pattern enables greater agility, scalability, and
fault isolation, albeit at the cost of increased complexity.

Challenges and Considerations:

Despite the benefits of these design patterns, data pipeline design is not without its challenges.
Organizations must grapple with issues such as data quality, latency, scalability bottlenecks, and
integration complexity. Moreover, as data pipelines grow in complexity and scale, managing
dependencies, orchestrating workflows, and ensuring end-to-end visibility become increasingly
challenging tasks.

Data Pipeline

31
 Securing and Scaling the data pipeline

The Imperative of Data Pipeline Security:

Data pipeline security encompasses a multifaceted approach to safeguarding data assets
throughout their lifecycle – from ingestion to analysis to storage. At its core, data pipeline security
revolves around three key pillars: confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Confidentiality
ensures that data is accessible only to authorized users, protecting it from unauthorized access or
disclosure. Integrity guarantees that data remains accurate and trustworthy, preventing
unauthorized modifications or tampering. Availability ensures that data is accessible and usable
when needed, minimizing downtime and disruptions.

Securing the Data Pipeline:

To secure the data pipeline effectively, organizations must adopt a layered approach that
encompasses both preventive and detective controls. This includes implementing encryption
mechanisms to protect data in transit and at rest, enforcing access controls to limit user privileges and
permissions, and deploying monitoring and auditing tools to detect and respond to suspicious activities
in real-time. Additionally, organizations must adhere to industry standards and regulatory
requirements, such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS, to ensure compliance and mitigate legal and
reputational risks.

Scaling the data pipeline involves expanding its capacity and capabilities to accommodate
growing volumes of data, users, and workloads. This requires a strategic approach that encompasses
both vertical and horizontal scaling techniques. Vertical scaling involves adding more resources, such
as CPU, memory, or storage, to existing infrastructure to handle increased demand. Horizontal
scaling, on the other hand, involves distributing workloads across multiple nodes or instances, enabling
parallel processing and improved performance.

Scalability Considerations:
While scalability unlocks new opportunities for growth and innovation, it also introduces a host
of challenges and considerations. Organizations must carefully evaluate factors such as data volume,
velocity, variety, and veracity, as the underlying infrastructure, architecture, and technology stack.
Moreover, as data pipelines scale in complexity and size, managing dependencies, optimizing
performance, and ensuring fault tolerance become increasingly critical tasks.

32
Emerging Technologies and Best Practices:
1. To address these challenges, organizations are turning to emerging technologies and best practices
that offer scalable, secure, and efficient solutions for data pipeline management. This includes the
adoption of cloud-native architectures, containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes,
serverless computing platforms like AWS Lambda and Google Cloud Functions, and distributed
processing frameworks such as Apache Spark and Apache Flink. Additionally, organizations are
leveraging DevOps practices, automation tools, and infrastructure-as-code principles to streamline
deployment, monitoring, and management of data pipelines.

33
 5. Ingesting and preparing data

The Foundation of Data Ingestion:

Data ingestion serves as the gateway through which raw data enters the organizational ecosystem,
encompassing the processes and technologies involved in extracting, transporting, and loading data
from various sources into a centralized repository. At its core, effective data ingestion revolves
around three key objectives: speed, scalability, and reliability. Speed ensures that data is ingested in a
timely manner, enabling real-time or near-real-time analytics. Scalability guarantees that data
pipelines can handle increasing volumes of data without sacrificing performance or efficiency.
