  Identity theft happens when anyone steals your personal information, like your name, Social Security number, or credit card info, and uses it for fraud or other criminal activities. Below are some tips to help prevent identity theft: ● Protect your personal information: Be cautious when giving out your personal information online and offline. Don't share your Social Security number, credit card number, or other sensitive information unless you trust the source and must provide it. ● Strong passwords: Strong and unique passwords for all your accounts are must. Also, avoid using the same password for multiple accounts. Use a password manager to store passwords securely. ● Monitor accounts: Frequently review your bank and credit card statements for unauthorized transactions, and check your credit report once a year for any suspicious activity. ● Phishing scams: Emails, texts, or phone calls asking for your personal information or credentials could be a scam.

1. Cost Optimization: a. Resource Right-Sizing: Begin by analyzing the current resources in use on AWS and Azure. Identify any over-provisioned instances or underutilized resources. Utilize AWS and Azure tools like AWS Trusted Advisor, AWS Cost Explorer, and Azure Cost Management to gain insights into resource utilization and make informed decisions on right-sizing. b. Reserved Instances and Savings Plans: Investigate opportunities to leverage Reserved Instances (RIs) on AWS and Savings Plans on Azure. These commitment-based options can lead to substantial cost savings over pay-as-you-go pricing. c. Auto-Scaling: Implement auto-scaling for AWS and Azure resources to dynamically adjust resource capacity based on demand. This ensures that you are not over-provisioning resources during peak times and are not paying for idle capacity during low-demand periods. d. Storage Optimization: Evaluate your data storage practices, including the use of different storage classes, data archiving,

  Let's go through each of these areas and discuss some resource cleanup best practices, considerations, and specific actions you can take in the AWS environment 1. EC2 Instances: Regularly review your running instances and identify those that are no longer needed. Terminate instances that are not actively in use. Consider using Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling to dynamically adjust the number of instances based on demand. This can help optimize costs and resource utilization.Use Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) to distribute traffic across multiple instances, improving availability and reducing the impact of instance failures. Consider using AWS Lambda or EC2 instance-based automation to schedule instance start and stop times, particularly for non-production instances. 2. Amazon S3 Buckets: Use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies to control access to S3 buckets and objects. Regularly audit your S3 buckets to ensure they are not publicly accessible unless required. Implement bucke

  Below are the few AWS services for their potential cost factors: 1.Amazon S3: S3 storage pricing is based on the amount of data stored, data transfer, and number of requests. Costs can vary based on storage class (Standard, Intelligent-Tiering, Glacier, etc.) and region. 2.Amazon ECS: ECS pricing includes costs for the underlying EC2 instances or Faregate resources used to run containers, as well as networking and data transfer costs. 3.Amazon EMR : EMR pricing depends on the instance types used for the cluster, data storage, data transfer, and the processing power needed. 4.AWS IAM: IAM itself is generally not associated with direct costs; you're billed for the resources you manage using IAM. 5.Amazon QuickSight: QuickSight pricing is based on the number of users and the amount of data processed for visualization. 6.AWS Glue: Glue pricing considers factors such as the number of development units (DPU) used for ETL jobs and the amount of data processed. 7.AWS Lambda: Lambda

  To avoid entering your Git token key manually every time, you can use Git's credential helper to save and cache your credentials. The following steps outline how to set it up: 1.Open a terminal or command prompt. 2. Set up the Git credential helper by running the following command: git config --global credential.helper cache This command configures Git to use the cache credential helper, which will store your credentials in memory for a certain period of time. 3.Set the cache timeout (optional): git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout=3600' This command sets the cache timeout to 3600 seconds (1 hour). After this period of inactivity, Git will prompt you to enter your credentials again. 4.The next time you interact with a remote Git repository that requires authentication, enter your username and password (or token) as you normally would. Git will cache these credentials for the specified timeout period. From now on, you won't have to enter your Git toke
