The Future of AWS CodeCommit | Amazon Web Services Back in July 2024, we announced plans to de-emphasize AWS CodeCommit based on adoption patterns and our assessment of customer needs. We never stopped looking at the data or listening to you, and what...

I did not see that coming! aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops...

Interesting! I wasn’t aware such a library/framework existed.

AWS has also removed a log4j patch from the Java 25 runtime to restore optimal performance. This was implemented when Log4shell hit the industry and was in all previous runtimes.

Starting with Java 25, Lambda no longer stops tiered compilation at C1 for SnapStart and Provisioned Concurrency.

If you deploy Java 25 functions using container images, you can either implement your own AOT caches or continue using CDS.

Lambda’s benchmarking results show that AOT caches deliver faster cold start performance compared to CDS. 🚀 AOT caches are now enabled by default in the Java 25 runtime to provide performance benefits.

AWS Lambda replaces the traditional Class Data Sharing (CDS) with ahead-of-time (AOT) caches. This is an advanced optimization feature from Project Leyden that is designed to improve application startup times and reduce memory footprint.

There is a lot to unpack from this release though. It’s not just a runtime update.

AWS Lambda now supports Java 25 | Amazon Web Services You can now develop AWS Lambda functions using Java 25 either as a managed runtime or using the container base image. This blog post highlights notable Java language features, Java Lambda runtime upda...

In July, AWS announced a powerful update to Amazon ECS with built-in support for blue/green deployments. Now two additional built in deployment strategies have been added: linear and canary deployment. This eliminates having to use CodeDeploy. aws.amazon.com/about-aws/wh...

Thanks! 🙏

Likewise!

#hugops to all on call AWS engineers

It seems some services in us-east-1 still have degraded operations. That’s a long disruption 😲. I hope they will share an extensive post mortem. Looking forward to learn from the lessons learned!

Ah yes I misunderstood. I expect the same that people are misreporting.

Not sure what that graph is based on though. I don't see any issues when looking at the Azure status page. It might be lagging behind off course. azure.status.microsoft/en-gb/status

While trying to figure out of there was anything wrong with our jira and bitbucket cloud signin it seems AWS is having issues in us-east-1 .

You can now become an AWS Certified Generative AI Developer - Professional! 😅 Machine Learning specialty is being retired and the Security Specialty is getting an update! #aws #certification aws.amazon.com/blogs/traini...

Yeah I had the same feeling and figured the same 😅

Yes that was a late one! I think it was around 6 or 7pm or so Vegas time

Yeah I know. Last time I was in Vegas though. Time wise it would have been much better if it was around 15:30 Vegas time like this year. Especially with all the long days and jet lag 😀
