AWS Application Migration Service (AWS MGN) is now available in four additional AWS Regions: Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Seoul), and Europe (London). 

AWS Network Firewall now offers new configuration options for rule ordering and default drop, making it easier to write and process rules to monitor your virtual private cloud (VPC) traffic.

AWS Elastic Beanstalk now supports decoupling a database running in an Elastic Beanstalk environment. Previously, a database instance created by Elastic Beanstalk was tied to the lifecycle of the environment. With this launch, the lifecycle of your database instance will not be tied to your application’s environment lifecycle, and you can decouple a database managed by Elastic Beanstalk from a Beanstalk environment. The environment’s health is not affected by the decoupling operation and you can keep the database operational as an external database, available for multiple environments to connect to it. You also have the option to terminate an Elastic Beanstalk environment while leaving the database operational.

A plan to temporarily get the milling machine going, by hooking up an external speed controller, has turned into a semi-permanent solution. I ordered a ‘DC-51’ speed controller – an enclosed controller pcb with paired screw connections on the back for: mains in, dc motor out and a stop switch. They seem to be all …
