AWS Lambda now supports Node.js 16 as both a managed runtime and a container base image. Developers creating serverless applications in Lambda with Node.js 16 can take advantage of new features such as support for Apple silicon for local development, the timers promises API , and enhanced performance. For more information on Lambda’s support for Node.js 16, see our blog post at Node.js 16.x runtime now available in AWS Lambda .

Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) Traffic Mirroring now supports sending mirrored traffic to monitoring appliances behind a Gateway Load Balancer. This feature enables Amazon VPC Traffic Mirroring customers to centralize the out-of-band monitoring and inspection of network traffic across AWS accounts and VPCs.

Amazon CloudWatch Synthetics now supports deletion of underlying canary resources along with the canary deletion. When you delete a canary you can choose whether to also delete related resources created by the canary, thus making canary resources management easier and efficient. Synthetics canaries that run on a defined frequency to monitor the health and performance of your endpoints and APIs creates these resources as part of canary creation step.

Shortly before the war, only 24% of Finns and 37% of Swedes supported their countries seeking NATO membership. At the start of May 2022, 76% of Finns and 48% of Swedes supported joining NATO. By mid- May the Swedish percentage had climbed to 60%. Despite being one of Putin’s stated reasons for launching the war …

Danisense launched a series of ultra-stable, ppm-accuracy fluxgate current transducers at PCIM this week, that are smaller than its previous offerings. For dc and ac measurement, DT series current transducers use closed-loop compensated sensing with fixed excitation frequency and second harmonic zero flux detection for “better than 2 ppm” linearity, according to the company. Signal …
