AWS AppConfig Agent launches write to disk, backups, and permission mapping

By

AWS AppConfig, a feature of AWS Systems Manager, announces four new features available in the latest release of the AWS AppConfig Agent . The Agent now supports writing feature flags and configuration data to a file on local disk in a location that the customer specifies. Secondly, to improve resiliency, the Agent can be configured to write its own local backup of the latest version of configuration data, and use that backup if there is a network issue or outage that prevents the Agent from reaching the AWS AppConfig service. Also, the Agent now allows engineers to test configuration changes in their local environments. Finally, this version of the Agent allows a customer to map different AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions for different Configuration Profiles, which enables fine-grained security for configuration data.

FreeRTOS announces availability of modular and composable OTA libraries

By

Today, FreeRTOS announces the availability of modular and composable Over-The-Air update (OTA) libraries that make it easy for you to configure and customize the system update process for your Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Using FreeRTOS OTA libraries, you can quickly build connected products capable of seamlessly processing remote firmware update tasks, thus allowing you to manage and maintain your device fleet to be up to date. With the new update, you can now configure FreeRTOS open source OTA libraries in small batches for better flexibility as compared to using a large library that may require base-code modification. For example, to retain operational integrity and continuity of your deployed IoT devices, you can now configure your modular FreeRTOS libraries to first require the device to be in a ‘safe’ or ‘commissioning’ mode and only then accept and process software update messages. 

EC2 Hibernate now supports Amazon EC2 C7a, C7i, R7a, R7i and R7iz Instances

By

Starting today, you can now hibernate Amazon EC2 C7a, C7i, R7a, R7i and R7iz instances. Hibernation is an Amazon EC2 feature that helps lower costs and achieve faster startup times by enabling customers to pause and resume their running instances at scale. Customers are not billed for compute time while instances are suspended, and your applications will resume from right where they left off.
