You can encrypt sensitive data in Ansible using Ansible Vault by running the command `ansible-vault encrypt <file>` to encrypt files or `ansible-vault encrypt_string '<string>'` to encrypt individual strings.

A handler in Ansible is a special type of task that runs only when it is notified by another task, typically used to perform actions like restarting a service after a configuration change.
A module in Ansible is a reusable, standalone script that performs a specific task, such as managing system resources, executing commands, or configuring services.
The default location of the inventory file is /etc/ansible/hosts.
Ansible Galaxy is a hub for finding, sharing, and downloading Ansible roles and collections.
Heroku natively supports languages and frameworks including Ruby, Java, Node.js, Python, PHP, Go, Scala, and Clojure.
Heroku is a cloud platform that allows developers to build, run, and operate applications entirely in the cloud. Unlike traditional hosting, which often requires managing servers and infrastructure, Heroku abstracts these complexities, enabling developers to focus on coding and deploying applications quickly without worrying about the underlying hardware or server management.
Heroku Pipelines allow you to organize your app's development workflow by creating different stages (like development, staging, and production). Review Apps are temporary environments created automatically for each pull request, allowing you to test changes in isolation before merging them into the main branch. This helps in reviewing and testing features without affecting the main application.
Heroku's filesystem is structured as a temporary, ephemeral storage. It is not persistent, meaning any changes made to the filesystem will be lost when the dyno restarts or is redeployed.
Heroku handles logs by aggregating them from all your application processes and system components. You can access the logs using the Heroku CLI with the command `heroku logs –tail`, which streams the logs in real-time. You can also view logs through the Heroku Dashboard under the "More" menu by selecting "View Logs."
Netlify is a platform for deploying and hosting static websites and web applications. Its main features include continuous deployment from Git, serverless functions, form handling, a global Content Delivery Network (CDN), automated HTTPS, and built-in analytics.
Netlify build plugins are reusable pieces of code that extend the functionality of the Netlify build process. They can automate tasks, enhance performance, or integrate with other services during the build phase of a site. Plugins are configured in the `netlify.toml` file and run at specific points in the build lifecycle, allowing developers to customize and optimize their deployment workflows easily.
Continuous deployment is a software development practice where code changes are automatically deployed to production after passing tests. Netlify supports continuous deployment by integrating with version control systems like Git. When developers push changes to their repository, Netlify automatically builds and deploys the updated site, ensuring that the latest version is always live.
Netlify Functions are serverless functions that allow you to run backend code without managing servers. They are implemented by creating JavaScript or Go files in a designated directory (usually `netlify/functions`) in your project. When deployed, these functions can be triggered via HTTP requests, enabling you to handle tasks like API calls, form submissions, and database interactions.
Netlify is a platform specifically designed for modern web development, offering features like continuous deployment, serverless functions, and built-in CDN, while traditional hosting services typically provide basic server space and require manual deployment and configuration.
In NumPy, a copy creates a new array that is a duplicate of the original array, and changes to the copy do not affect the original. A view, on the other hand, is a reference to the original array, so changes to the view will affect the original array.
Masked arrays are arrays that allow you to hide or ignore certain elements based on a mask (a boolean array). You would use them when you need to handle data with missing or invalid values without removing those elements from the array.
Some common functions for array manipulation in NumPy include:
1. `np.reshape()`
2. `np.flatten()`
3. `np.concatenate()`
4. `np.vstack()`
5. `np.hstack()`
6. `np.split()`
7. `np.transpose()`
8. `np.roll()`
9. `np.repeat()`
10. `np.unique()`
You can perform aggregation functions in NumPy using the following methods:
- **Sum**: `numpy.sum(array)`
- **Mean**: `numpy.mean(array)`
- **Standard Deviation**: `numpy.std(array)`
Replace `array` with your NumPy array variable.
You can stack arrays in NumPy using `np.vstack()` for vertical stacking, `np.hstack()` for horizontal stacking, and `np.dstack()` for depth stacking. To split arrays, use `np.split()`, `np.hsplit()`, or `np.vsplit()` depending on the desired axis.
