We’re excited to announce the ability to control container log rotation when running Apache Spark jobs in EMR on EKS. Amazon EMR on EKS enables customers to run open-source big data frameworks such as Apache Spark on Amazon EKS. Customers can now enable container log rotation to avoid excessive log files impacting pod execution.

Customers can now connect their Google Workspace to AWS IAM Identity Center (successor to AWS Single Sign-On) once and manage access to AWS accounts and applications centrally, in IAM Identity Center. This integration enables end users to sign in using their Google Workspace identity to access all their assigned AWS accounts and applications. The integration helps administrators simplify AWS access management across multiple accounts while maintaining familiar Google Workspace experiences for end users as they sign in. IAM Identity Center and Google Workspace use Google auto-provisioning to securely provision users into IAM Identity Center, saving administrative time.

Amazon Connect now provides new contact lifecycle events for callbacks, including when a callback was queued, answered, or disconnected. Contact events can be used to create analytics dashboards to monitor and track contact activity, integrate into workforce management (WFM) solutions to better understand contact center performance, or take follow up actions such as updating your customer databases with a record of the callback attempt. Amazon Connect contact events are published in near real-time via Amazon EventBridge, and can be set up in a couple of clicks by going to the Amazon EventBridge AWS console and creating a new rule.

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) basic scanning feature will use Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) version 3 information when determining the severity for new Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). This enables customers to get the most recent severity information for vulnerabilities in their ECR container images. We use CVSS information to determine the severity of a vulnerability when the upstream distribution source does not have this information.

Amazon OpenSearch Service now supports a new ‘skip unavailable’ setting for cross cluster search connections. If skip unavailable is enabled on connections, cross-cluster search ignores any remote cluster that might not available during the search.

What if you knew the questions before you went into an interview? Well I’d feel a trifle less terrified. With  the top job interview worry for 41% of a survey of job-seekers the chance of  being stumped by a tricky question, it would be a boon for many. Adzuna, the search engine for job ads, …

Microchip has announced a cesium atomic clock that can keep time for months in the event of GNSS denials, according to to the company. Called 5071B, it comes in a 3U (three-unit high) 19inch rack-mount enclosure. Compared with the existing 5071A, the next-generation 5071B “has upgraded electronic components to address possible obsolescence or non-RoHS [Restriction …

GITAI, the Japanese and US space robotics startup, has highlighted the successful demonstration of its Lunar Manipulator and Rover in a simulated regolith chamber. The company’s inchworm-type robotic arm equipped with a tool changer function and its Lunar Robotic Rover were tested in the chamber. The robots executed all planned tasks, as shown in the …
