Prerequisites

Set a proxy server (only if your local network forces you)

This document outlines the steps to set up a one tunnel IPSec Site to site VPN on AWS and a VM on another cloud provider (Packet) running Strongswan.

(References:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpn/latest/s2svpn/SetUpVPNConnections.html

https://openvpn.net/vpn-server-resources/extending-vpn-connectivity-to-amazon-aws-vpc-using-aws-vpc-vpn-gateway-service/)

Spin up packet VM and install strongswan

(This can be any cloud provider. It does not have to be Packet)

UPDATE: I have baked the ideas in this file inside a Python CLI tool called pyds-cli. Please find it here: https://github.com/ericmjl/pyds-cli

How to organize your Python data science project

Having done a number of data projects over the years, and having seen a number of them up on GitHub, I've come to see that there's a wide range in terms of how "readable" a project is. I'd like to share some practices that I have come to adopt in my projects, which I hope will bring some organization to your projects.

Disclaimer: I'm hoping nobody takes this to be "the definitive guide" to organizing a data project; rather, I hope you, the reader, find useful tips that you can adapt to your own projects.

Disclaimer 2: What I’m writing below is primarily geared towards Python language users. Some ideas may be transferable to other languages; others may not be so. Please feel free to remix whatever you see here!
