How to Expand a Contract and Migrate Data in Python
Expand an old data contract by renaming fields and adding defaults, then migrate to a final version with deepcopy isolation.
import json
from copy import deepcopy
# Mock data representing a user record (old contract)
old_contract = {
"id": 1,
"name": "Alice",
"email": "alice@example.com",
"age": 30,
"status": "active"
}
# Expanded contract: adds fields with defaults and renames some fields
expand_rules = {
"id": "u…How to Simulate a Packer AMI Build in Python
A simple Python class that mimics a Packer AMI build lifecycle — creates a build object, transitions its state to completed, and prints a JSON snapshot.
import json
class PackerBuildMock:
def __init__(self, name, ami_id, region="us-east-1", state="pending"):
self.name = name
self.ami_id = ami_id
self.region = region
self.state = state
def build(self):
if self.state == "pending":
self.state = "completed"
