Hello, Cloud Gurus and welcome back to another AWS This Week,
where we find out what goodies AWS have in store for us from the past seven
days. This week, AWS Ground Station gets a new location,
AWS Outposts get three new locations,
Amazon DevOps Guru is now generally available,
CloudFront introduces CloudFront functions,
the AWS CDK version 2 and Go CDK is now in preview,
and we have a free webinar to help you all secure your AWS environment.
It's AWS This Week with me, Nick Triantafillou.
First up this week, AWS Ground Station,
the fully managed service that lets you control satellite communications,
process satellite data,
and scale your satellite operations is now available in the Asia Pacific
Seoul region.
Expansion to the Asia Pacific region now enables satellite owners and their
operators to connect with their satellites and process their space workloads
more frequently,
surely a huge benefit for all of you working in the amazing aerospace
industry. Following on from this,
AWS Outposts can now be shipped and installed in customer data centers in
Colombia, Macau and Puerto Rico.
And AWS Outpost is a fully managed service that extends AWS
infrastructure, AWS services, APIs,
and tools to virtually any data center,
co-location space or on premises facility,
providing your organization with a hybrid AWS solution.
If you're interested, I highly recommend you take a look.
Next up Amazon DevOps Guru is now generally available.
DevOps Guru is a machine learning service that gives you a way to measure and
improve applications, operational performance, and availability,
and reduce expensive downtime using years of amazon.com data
and AWS operational excellence.
It automatically collects and analyzes data such as metrics, logs,
events,
and traces to identify behaviors that deviate from your normal operating
patterns.
And then it notifies developers about any possible issues that may have
occurred.
It uses Amazon Simple Notification Service and has partner integrations with
Atlassian Ops Journey and PagerDuty as well. Now,
one of my favorite announcements of the week,
Amazon CloudFront has announced CloudFront functions,
a lightweight edge computing capability,
which allows you to run JavaScript functions across more than 255
CloudFront edge locations in 90 cities,
across 47 countries.
It's built to allow you to deliver personalized content with extremely low
latency to your customers. Very cool. And finally, this week,
the AWS Cloud Development Kit version 2 and the Go development kit
are now available in Developer Preview. In fact,
all Cloud Development Kit versions now support Go,
expanding the number of programming languages developers can use to define their
infrastructure.
Version 2 of the CDK also consolidates the AWS construct library
into a single package,
which eliminates the need to download individual packages for each AWS service
that you want to use.
CDK version 2 also only includes stable APIs,
so you can confidently update to new versions without any issues.
Upgrading to CDK version 2 for most projects can be accomplished with a one-time
safe reboot strapping of your AWS accounts and import statement
changes. If you want to learn more about this, check out the links below.
Okay, to wrap it up this week,
I'd like to let you know that A Cloud Guru are hosting a webinar on securing
your AWS environment next Wednesday, the 12th of May,
at 9:00 AM Pacific,
12:00 PM Eastern and 5:00 PM British Summertime.
If you can't make any of those times, that's fine too.
Simply register on our website anyway,
and we'll send you a copy of the recording as soon as it's available. All right.
That's all for me this week.
Keep being awesome cloud gurus and I'll see you next time.
