Amazon MQ is now available in a total of 25 regions, with the addition of the Africa (Cape Town) region.

Today, Amazon CloudWatch Container Insights adds metric collection support for your applications running on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) with AWS Fargate using AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT). ADOT is a secure, AWS-supported distribution of the OpenTelemetry  project. Customers can now easily collect EKS Fargate metrics, such as CPU, memory, disk, and network, and analyze them along with other container metrics in Amazon CloudWatch. This helps customers observe the performance and resource utilization of their applications directly in the CloudWatch Container Insights console.

Starting today, you can use AWS Budgets to create auto-adjusting budgets. An auto-adjusting budget dynamically sets your budget amount based on historical cost or usage over a time range that you specify. This reduces the guesswork in setting a budget limit and keeps you updated as your spend patterns change. Auto-adjusting budgets are generally available in all public AWS Regions.

We are pleased to announce the availability of s2n-quic, an open-source Rust implementation of the QUIC protocol, in our AWS encryption open-source libraries. We are also renaming s2n, AWS’s open-source C implementation of the TLS protocol, to s2n-tls . s2n-quic has an API that is designed to be fast and small, with simplicity as a priority. It is written in Rust, so it reaps some of its benefits like performance, thread and memory-safety. For the TLS 1.3 handshake, s2n-quic depends on s2n-tls, or Rustls, an open source Rust implementation of TLS.

Amazon Redshift data sharing allows you to share live, transactionally consistent data across different Redshift clusters without the complexity and delays associated with data copies and data movement. Ability to share data across clusters that are in the same AWS account  and across accounts  is already available. Now sharing data across Redshift clusters in different AWS Regions is generally available. Cross-Region data sharing is supported on all Amazon Redshift RA3 node types.

  21 countries in the world were rated as “full democracies” by The Economist Democracy Index -including all Scandinavian countries, several Western European nations as well as Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Uruguay, Mauritius, Costa Rica, South Korea, Taiwan and Japan.

It is common knowledge that aqueducts take canals over rivers, and tunnels take canals under rivers. But what happens when a canal needs to cross a river at the same level or, worse, nearly the same level. A simple cross-shaped intersection like a cross-roads might work if levels are controlled well, but what if the …

Flex Power Modules has used a two-phase topology to deliver 80A continuously (140A peak) from a 0.7cm3 (10 x 9 x 7.6mm) dc-dc module. Called BMR510, it includes necessary magnetic components and can produce outputs between 0.5 – 1.3V from inputs spanning 4.5 to 16V “which makes it compatible with 4:1 conversion ratio front-end intermediate bus converters”, said …
