Compact COB LEDs from Lumileds generate 76,000 cd in a narrow beam, while Everlight Electronics has new LEDs for front- and rear-facing automotive applications, and RayVio launches new UV-C LEDs for disinfection applications.

This Quick Start deploys a standardized environment that helps organizations with workloads that fall in scope for Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) compliance. The Quick Start includes AWS CloudFormation templates that automate the deployment, relying on the requirements of PCI DSS version 3.1. The Quick Start also includes a security controls reference, which maps security controls to the reference architecture, and a deployment guide, which provides step-by-step instructions for deploying and configuring the environment. 

You can now use SSL/TLS certificates provisioned from AWS Certificate Manager with your AWS Elastic Beanstalk environments by selecting a certificate from the Elastic Beanstalk console. This helps you easily secure network communications between your Elastic Beanstalk applications and end users.
