9 announcements of AWS re: Invent 2022 that impressed me the most

1. EventBridge Pipes

The service function permits communication between AWS companies and filtering and/or enrichment (by means of Step features or Lambda or Filter) of occasions from sources like Managed Service for Kafka, Kinesis, SQS, DynamoDb streams, Amazon MQ to targets like Step features, Firehose, SageMaker pipeline and so on. It is a big leap ahead, as a result of it is sort of a spider internet for AWS companies and permits constructing structure, that’s primarily based on a number of filtered occasions. Linked AWS companies are anticipated to be the brand new regular for a serverless structure. The EventBridge Pipes creates the required IAM permissions robotically by following the least privilleges, required by the companies

A brief demo:

1.1. We create a SQS queue, named reinventQueue:

1.2. As subsequent step we create a Step Perform, which wants solely to have a Cross step:

{
  "Remark": "A Hiya World instance demonstrating numerous state sorts of the Amazon States Language",
  "StartAt": "Hiya World",
  "States": {
    "Hiya World": {
      "Kind": "Cross",
      "Finish": true
    }
  }
}

1.3. We proceed by creating EventBridge Pipes with following supply and goal

Supply:

Goal:

1.4 Ship a message to the queue to invoke the step operate and check

2. Distributed map for step features

The present map function of Step features permits
as much as 40 parallel executions of lambda at a time. With the distributed map operate, we will do as much as 10000
executions in parallel. This can enable us to do map and cut back utilizing csv information saved in S3 and analyse
great amount of information, whereas preserving the prices low. In the intervening time is offered just for commonplace workflow and never for categorical

3. Software composer

WSIWYG device to design a serverless distributed functions. The aim of the service is to ease builders life and helps in designing asynchronous distributed programs

Supply: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2022/12/aws-application-composer-preview/

4. CodeCatalyst

The present CodePipeline ci/cd requires
advance docker and Linux information and to begin from scratch with CodeBuild, CodeCommit, CodeDeploy. With CodeCatalyst AWS permits builders to construct ci/cd smarter and simpler, whereas offering a direct risk to deploy in AWS accounts. The service is a direct competitor to Azure DevOps and is promising to be the perfect CI/CD in future. It permits connecting to supply in Github, Bitbucket, Codecommit and and so on. The authentication to Github is utilizing OAuth. The authentication to AWS accounts occurs manually by means of approval. This shall be troublesome if in case you have 200 accounts, however the crew is engaged on automating it with API calls. In future this shall be a direct competitor to Azure DevOps.

5. Safety Lake

The Safety Lake consolidates the safety from cloud and on premise and helps analyse safety information. The S3 is used to retailer the info. The Safety Lake additionally converts ingested information into Apache Parquet format and an ordinary open-source schema known as the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework, which is already supported by numerous distributors.

6. Cross-account observability throughout a number of AWS accounts

Now we will view and search not solely metrics, but in addition logs throughout account boundaries. This makes the lifetime of DevOps groups simpler

7. Proactive controls for Management Tower

Now Cloudformation templates might be checked for RDS encryption (simply for instance) earlier than deployment so as to implement compliance with requirements. This protects plenty of time in comparison with a detective management that may discover the difficulty solely when the CloudFormation deployment is in progress or has terminated. This additionally improves the safety posture by stopping one thing that’s not allowed versus reacting to it after the actual fact.

8. OpenSearch Serverless

I bear in mind again within the days, when the PagerDuty was calling each minute. The rationale was, that ElasticSearch wants growth or enhance of the dimensions/nodes. I’m hoping it will assist us handle this subject in future. AWS goals to be water optimistic by 2030, which implies, that our architectures might want to adapt to the demand ceaselessly and can have to be extra surroundings pleasant at similar time. And OpenSearch Serverless might give us one of many reply to the difficulty of frequent scale out and down. This shall be meant for check and dev environments primarily. I suppose with the likelihood to be accessible for manufacturing in future 🙂

9. SimSpace weaver

The service can be utilized for big scale 3-D simulation. Builders utilizing Unreal engine and Unity already can make the most of it.
