Episode 79 - re:Invent 2020 - App Dev, Containers & Database Wrap

AWS TechChat

In this episode of AWS TechChat, we continue with part 2 of our 4 parts of AWS re:Invent 2020 series with this episode covering Application Development, Containers, and Database announcements. For our developer community, we talk about: • Using Amazon CodeGuru’s new Security Detectors to help you find and remediate security issues in your code. • Python support for Amazon CodeGuru (in preview). • We share another new service, Amazon DevOps Guru (in preview) for measuring and improving an application’s operational performance. • Amazon Lambda now supports up to 10 GB of memory and 6 vCPU cores and a billing granularity reduction down to 1ms. • Amazon API Gateway now supports integration with Step Functions StartSyncExecution for HTTP APIs. • Amazon AppFlow now provides Amazon Connect Customer Profiles connectivity to several cloud applications. • Amazon AppFlow can provide similar app integrations with those 3rd party apps to HoneyCode. • For those AWS Amplify users, deploy AWS Fargate containers through the Amplify Command Line Interface (CLI) and you get a new AdminUI to boot that deploys all the underlying bits for you. • AWS Proton to bridge the gap between platform and development teams. In containers, we kick it off with Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS): • First, cluster add-ons are managed through the Amazon EKS console, CLI, or API. • Run Amazon EKS on-premises with Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) Distribution. • Amazon EKS on AWS Fargate now has built-in logging with Fluent Bit under the hood. • You can now see all your Kubernetes resources in the Amazon EKS console without needing extra tools. • Public registries for your container images with Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) public and the Amazon ECR public gallery. • Use your existing containers as an AWS Lambda package format. • Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) Deployment Circuit Breaker is in preview to stop deployments from getting worse and auto-rollback. In database, we cover the following announcements: • Babelfish, not a mythological creature, but a translation layer between Amazon Aurora PostgresSQL and Microsoft SQL. • V2 of Amazon Aurora Serverless has arrived, considerably faster and scales in a fraction of a second, with scaling so fast it is perfect for those event-driven applications. • AWS Data Exchange adds revision access rules for governing access. • Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) Service Delivery Partners for when you want someone to build, deploy, and manage your Amazon RDS deployments. • Amazon RDS Cross-Region backups come to Amazon RDS for Oracle • Share data across Amazon Redshift clusters with data sharing in preview and pull data from partners directly via the Amazon RedShift Console. • Amazon RedShift Federated query comes to Amazon RDS for MySQL and Amazon Aurora MySQL. • Amazon Redshift Automatic Table Optimization to keep your data warehouse running in tip-top shape automatically. • Move Amazon RedShift clusters easily across Availability Zones. • JSON supports in preview for Amazon RedShift. • Finally, AQUA (Advanced Query Accelerator) comes to Amazon RedShift (in Preview) as a caching layer to speed up queries. Stay tuned as we cover all aspects of AWS re:invent 2020 in our coming updates.
