AWS Control Tower now helps reduce redundant AWS Config configuration items by limiting recording of global resources to home Regions only. Previously, AWS Control Tower configured AWS Config to record global resources in all Regions. Since global resources are not tied to a specific AWS Region, changes to global resources are identical across Regions. Limiting recording for global resources (such as IAM users, groups, roles, and customer managed polices) means redundant copies of global resource changes are no longer stored in every Region. This update brings resource recording into conformance with AWS Config best practices . A full list of global resources is available in AWS Config documentation .
Europe turning to LNG

Bidirectional solar charging turns cars into buffer storage
With bidirectional charging, solar power from a photovoltaic system can be stored in electric cars and fed back into the home grid when needed. Infineon and Delta have developed a three-in-one-system that integrates solar, energy storage and charging of electric vehicles. Thanks to bidirectional inverters, the electric car is not only charged, but can also …
