Today, we are excited to announce our v1.12.1 AWS SimSpace Weaver app SDK update. This update enables support for AWS IAM Identity Center (successor to AWS Single Sign-On) and the ability to use temporary credentials to start, stop, and manage simulations. AWS SimSpace Weaver is a fully managed compute service that helps customers deploy large spatial simulations in the cloud. Launched this past re:Invent, SimSpace Weaver allows customers to create seamless virtual worlds with millions of objects that can interact with one another in real time without ever worrying about managing the back-end infrastructure.

AWS Lambda now supports Amazon DocumentDB change streams as an event source. The change streams feature in Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) provides a time-ordered sequence of change events that occur within your cluster’s collections. Customers can now consume these events in their serverless applications built on Lambda.

Today, we launched Autocomplete suggestions for AWS Marketplace search. With this feature, users that visit the AWS Marketplace website or console would get search suggestions within the search bar as they type. User queries show up as bolded prefixes within the Autocomplete suggestions which they can select to complete their query and see the results on the main results page. The suggestions are sorted by relevance and tells what’s available, how to spell difficult terms, and what others are searching for.

Today, AWS Private Certificate Authority (Private CA) released sample AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) scripts and AWS CloudFormation stack templates to help you create Certificate Authorites (CAs) that issue Matter Device Attestation Certificates (DACs). Matter is a new standard for smart home security and device interoperability. Matter uses X.509 digital certificates to identify devices. Matter certificates can be issued only by CAs that comply with the Matter PKI Certificate Policy (CP). You can use the AWS CDK and CloudFormation samples to help you configure Matter-compliant CAs. The samples not only construct the CA, but they also create the configuration and auditing infrastructure needed to help you comply with the Matter PKI CP. This includes AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles & permissions, log configuration & retention policies. 

The AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) Command Line Interface (CLI) now announces the preview of sam build support for building and packaging serverless applications developed in Rust. The AWS SAM CLI is a developer tool that makes it easier to build, test, package, and deploy serverless applications. Developers building serverless applications with Rust used cargo-lambda to build their applications, but cargo-lambda wasn’t supported within the SAM CLI build workflow.. Starting today, you can use cargo-lambda in the SAM CLI build workflow for your Rust applications.

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for MariaDB now supports MariaDB minor versions 10.6.12, 10.5.19, 10.4.28 and 10.3.38. We recommend that you upgrade to the latest minor versions to fix known security vulnerabilities in prior versions of MariaDB, and to benefit from the numerous bug fixes, performance improvements, and new functionality added by the MariaDB community.

Amazon Inspector now supports code scanning of Lambda functions, expanding the existing capability to scan Lambda functions and associated layers for software vulnerabilities in application package dependencies. With this expanded capability, Amazon Inspector now also scans the custom proprietary application code within a Lambda function for code security vulnerabilities such as injection flaws, data leaks, weak cryptography, or missing encryption based on AWS security best practices. When code vulnerabilities are identified in the Lambda function or layer, Inspector generates actionable security findings along with impacted code snippets and remediation guidance. All findings are aggregated in the Amazon Inspector console , routed to AWS Security Hub, and pushed to Amazon EventBridge to automate workflows.

Today, AWS announces the general availability of FLAC audio and animated GIF video input sources for AWS Elemental MediaConvert. These new input formats are compatible with all MediaConvert outputs. For example, you can convert lossless FLAC files into compressed audio formats like AAC, MP3, and Ogg Vorbis, or use FLAC files as sidecar audio sources to be joined with video files. Animated GIF inputs can be converted into higher-efficiency video streaming codecs like AVC and HEVC and distributed as standalone MP4 files or adaptive-bitrate streaming packages such as HLS or DASH.

RC oscillators can be small or accurate, and now that can be both after Delft University of Technology*, Silicon Integrated and Tsinghua University revealed a 10MHz RC oscillator with ±0.28% accuracy over -45 to 125°V after a one-point trim, fabricated with a 0.01mm2 footprint in standard 0.18μm CMOS. The scheme avoids needing the need for …
