AWS Amplify now supports Sign in with Apple (SIWA), making it easier for app developers to reach a broad base of Apple users. SIWA supplements Amplify’s currently supported Identity Providers (Google, Facebook, and Amazon), and continues to allow developers to easily enable social sign-in to their applications, even without AWS experience.
Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager now supports CloudWatch metrics
Today we are announcing the availability of Amazon CloudWatch metrics for Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager (Amazon DLM), which you can use to gain insight into the operations of your lifecycle policy. You can use these metrics to see exactly how many Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) Snapshots and EBS-backed Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) are create, copied, shared and deleted each time a lifecycle policy is run. You can also create alarms to be triggered when resources are not created, copied or deleted by the policy, allowing you to take immediate action to diagnose and fix potential policy issues.
Amazon EC2 Placement Groups are now available on AWS Outposts
AWS Outposts is a fully managed service that extends AWS infrastructure, AWS services, APIs, and tools to virtually any datacenter, co-location space, or on-premises facility for a truly consistent hybrid experience. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) placement groups allow you to influence the placement strategy of instances on the underlying hardware. You can select from cluster, spread or partition placement strategies, depending on the needs of the workload.

Microchip’s 1,700V SiC mosfets
Microchip has added 1,700V mosfets to its silicon carbide portfolio, as die, discretes and in modules. Features include gate oxide stability, according to the company, which “observed no shift in threshold voltage even after 100,000 pulses in repetitive un-clamped inductive switching [R-UIS] tests. R-UIS tests also indicated avalanche ruggedness and stability in other parameters. They also …
