I'm using Serverless Framework to manage some AWS resources.
I'd like to be able to manage some of the resource tagging manually, and not have it result in drift. It seems like Terraform supports this, is this something Serverless Framework supports? I can't find anything in the docs.

Need your help. I just want to locate the published files (physical files published) of my .NET Core 2.1 in the App Engine server. I used Google plugin tool to publish my site and everything is done automatically.
I'm using simple app.yaml file:
runtime: aspnetcore
env: flex
I tried to scan some folders of the App Engine server but I could not locate my site. I also wonder maybe because google uses docker (don't have experience with docker too) and those file are in the docker's container. Not really sure.
In your project's Cloud Storage Buckets list, you will find a Bucket named like artifacts.[project-id].appspot.com. There you will find the container images that were deployed to App Engine.
However, App Engine provides On Demand server provisioning and scaling. This means that App Engine instances will be created when requests start coming in and more instances will be created if traffic increases.
Each instance will load your app's image individually.
In this type of environment, you should not store any relevant information in the App's directory, because all of it will be erased when the instance is killed due to lack of traffic and the data stored in one instance will not be available in other instances. See how instances are managed for more info.
If you want your app to store data in a SQL database, you could have a look at Cloud SQL, or also, you may find that Cloud Firestore, which is a NoSQL database, can suit your needs. Here is a list of GCP databases
I am new to Amazon simple workflow service. Is there a way to run the swf workflows on EMR. I have AWS CLI setup and able to bootstrap hadoop and bring up the cluster. I have not found enough documentation on this and no source on the web. Is there any change that I can boot the EMR cluster using SWF instead of AWS CLI. Thanks.
You should use one of the dedicated AWS SDKs to coordinate between the two services. I am successfully using the AWS SDK for Java to create a workflow that starts several EMR clusters in parallel with different jobs and then just waits for them to finish, failing the whole workflow if one of the jobs fail.
Out of all available AWS SDKs, I highly recommend the Java one. It struck me as extremely robust. I have also used the PHP one in the past, but it lacks on certain departments (it does not provide a 'flow' framework for SWF for example).
What exactly the SDK can be used for ? Only for storage like it's done on google drive, box or dropbox etc ? Or can i use the stored scripts to run a complete website ?
What exactly the SDK can be used for?
The Software Development Kit (SDK) can be used to programmatically control nearly every single aspect across all 40± AWS services.
Only for storage like it's done on google drive, box or dropbox etc?
Amazon S3 is a storage-only service. It complements the plethora of other AWS services.
Or can i use the stored scripts to run a complete website?
For that, you'd need something with a server. I recommend taking a look at AWS Elastic Beanstalk first because that's arguably the quickest way to get something running. If you're looking for something with more control, you can check out AWS OpsWorks.
If you want a raw virtual server, take a look at Amazon EC2. If you want to build a template that can automate and configure nearly your entire cloud infrastructure (storage, compute, databases, etc.), take a look at Amazon CloudFormation.
I'm trying to build a small webapp that will handle our development environments located on an openstack infrastructure (version 2012.2.2-dev, bundled in ubuntu 12.04) and I need to create some volumes using the API (i decided to use openstack rest api). I'm able to start machines and do some other operations (everything is built based on this: http://api.openstack.org/api-ref.html). If I send the request to create a volume as explained on the api reference, i get a 404. I tried different api versions (v1), but still no success.
Thank you in advance.
What language are you coding in? You could just use an SDK for this and skip trying to talk to the API directly. See
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/SDKs
In newer releases of OpenStack it is preferable to make use of the Cinder API rather than Nova API.
In folsom, Cinder uses IDENTICAL API refs to Nova volume related API sets. This is because this was the first release to separate out volume management to cinder as a stand alone project. While volume API references remain in folsom it is not the default and it is not the preferred method for accessing volumes REST queries.

I'm trying to host a database on Amazon RDS, and the actual content the database will store info on (videos) will be hosted on Amazon S3. I have some questions about this process I was hoping someone can help me with.
Can a database hosted on Amazon RDS interact (Search, update) something on Amazon S3? So if I have a database on Amazon RDS, and run a delete command to remove a specific video, is it possible to have that command remove the video on S3? Also, is there a tutorial on how to make the two mediums interact?
Thanks very much!
You will need an intermediary scripting language to maintain this process. For instance, if you're building a web based application that stores videos on S3 and the info for these videos including their locations on RDS you could write a PHP application (hosted on an EC2 instance, or elsewhere outside of Amazon's cloud) that connects to the MySQL database on RDS and does the appropriate queries and then interacts with Amazon S3 to complete a certain task there (e.g. delete a video like you stated).
To do this you would use the Amazon AWS SDK, for PHP the link is: http://aws.amazon.com/php/
You can use Java, Ruby, Python, .NET/Windows, and mobile SDKs to do these various tasks on S3, as well as control other areas of AWS if you use them.
You can instead find third-party scripts that do what you want and build an application around them, like for example, if someone wrote a simpler S3 interaction class you could use instead of rewriting some of your own code.
For a couple command line applications I've built I have used this handy and free tool: http://s3tools.org/s3cmd which is basically a command line tool for interacting with S3. Very useful for bash scripts.
