Amazon EFS now supports a larger number of concurrent file locks
Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) has increased the maximum number of file locks per NFS mount, enabling customers to use the service for a broader set of workloads that leverage high volumes of simultaneous locks, including message brokers and distributed analytics applications.
AWS Secrets Manager now publishes secrets usage metrics to Amazon CloudWatch
AWS Secrets Manager now publishes a metric to Amazon CloudWatch for the number of secrets in your account. With this feature, you can easily review how many secrets you are using in Secrets Manager. You can also set alarms for an unexpected increase or decrease in number of secrets.
Announcing Amplify Android library (Developer Preview), designed for Kotlin
Today, we are announcing the Developer Preview of the Amplify Android library that has been rewritten for Kotlin. This initial release enables Android developers to add cloud-based app features, including Auth, Storage, DataStore, and APIs for their Kotlin-based Android projects. Developers will benefit from Kotlin-based language features like coroutines.
Introducing more flexible AWS Device Qualification Program for FreeRTOS
Introducing an updated and more flexible AWS Device Qualification Program (DQP) for FreeRTOS that aligns with the modular structure of the latest FreeRTOS and Long Term Support (LTS) library releases. The AWS DQP for FreeRTOS allows microcontroller (MCU) vendors to verify their integration of FreeRTOS AWS IoT libraries running on a specific MCU-based development board against AWS’s published best practices for AWS IoT Core connectivity, and against tests specified by the qualification program. Previously, to qualify their development boards, MCU vendors had to structure their projects around a fixed directory structure and repository. Now, MCU vendors have the flexibility to include only the FreeRTOS libraries directly relevant to their application, choose the project structure and repository that best use their toolchains, and run tests relevant to their board features. By using AWS IoT Device Tester for FreeRTOS, MCU vendors can run the mandatory tests specified by AWS DQP and validate their FreeRTOS ports. With this program, developers can more confidently enable connectivity for their designs knowing that the FreeRTOS ports have been validated for AWS IoT connectivity, interoperability, updateability, and improved security.
Amazon Athena now supports views in Apache Hive metastores
You can now use Amazon Athena to query views stored in your self-managed Apache Hive metastores. Hive views are defined using the Hive Query Language (HiveQL) which is not fully compatible with Athena’s standard SQL. With this new capability, Athena automatically handles HiveQL syntax differences so you can query Hive views without changing your view definitions or maintaining a complex translation layer.
Announcing three featured FreeRTOS Reference Integrations Projects
We are excited to announce three featured FreeRTOS AWS Reference Integrations. FreeRTOS AWS Reference Integrations are pre-integrated FreeRTOS projects ported to partner-provided microcontroller-based evaluation boards that demonstrate secure end-to-end connectivity to AWS IoT Core. The three featured FreeRTOS Reference Integrations projects are developed in collaboration with our partners Espressif, NXP and STMicroelectronics. Each project uses the latest FreeRTOS and AWS Embedded C SDK Long Term Support (LTS) libraries, and the latest microcontroller architecture capabilities. Developers can customize these three projects into a complete, production-ready, IoT product.
