Hello, Cloud Gurus and
welcome to AWS This Week.
And there are some very cool
announcements this week,
including Bottlerocket is
now in general availability,
Route 53 Resolver now
supports DNS query logging,
SNS now supports payloads
of up to two gig.
And we announced our Guru of the Week.
You're watching AWS This Week with me,
Faye Ellis.
[Inaudible].
Bottlerocket is now in
general availability.
And Bottlerocket is a new opensource
Linux-based operating system,
which is purpose built and
designed to run containers.
So that means it includes
only the software needed to
run containers instead of
including hundreds of packages,
which are not required.
And this is great from a security
perspective because it reduces exposure to
attacks.
And it also comes with
security-enhanced Linux or SELinux and
protection against root kit based attacks.
So security is a massive focus.
And Bottlerocket is in general
availability for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes
service and in preview for
Elastic Container Service.
Route 53 Resolver now
supports DNS query logging.
And this is provided using a brand new
feature called Route 53 Resolver Query
Logs,
which allow you to log all DNS
queries made by resources within your
VPC.
So this will allow you to better
understand how your applications are
communicating, be
compliant with regulations,
spot security threats, and
troubleshoot issues related to DNS.
And you can send the DNS query
logs either to S3 for storage or to
Kinesis Data Firehose to stream
the data and load it into Redshift
or Amazon Elasticsearch for analysis. SNS,
or simple notification service,
now supports messages of up to two
gigabytes in size using the new
extended client library for Java.
And if you haven't used SNS before,
it's a notification service,
which allows you to send
notifications using text message,
email and HTTP protocols.
Now previously the
limit was 256 kilobytes.
And with this new library messages of up
to two gigabytes can be supported with
the message payload stored in S3.
And the SNS notification will reference
the S3 location where the payload
is stored. So onto Guru of the Week.
And the answer to last
week's question was C,
and the person with the best
answer is Melvin Canafranca.
And Melvin is a solution
architect at Accenture in the US,
so congratulations to Melvin.
There is an A Cloud Guru t-shirt and
stickers on the way to you in the
post. Please see the link
below for this week's question,
which is now live on
our forum. And finally,
if you love AWS as much as we do,
then you are going to love this
incredible song from our very own Forres
Brazeal. It's an original song,
and I'm pretty sure it's the only
song in the world featuring 168
AWS services.
There's MQ, EC2, and Redshift and
GameLift and Glue. There's Lumberyard,
Lightsail and WorkDocs and Workmail,
with Worklink and Privatelink too.
Detective, Inspector and Trusted
Advisor, Cognito, Corretto, S3 -
Data Pipeline and DataSync, AppMesh
and AppSync or you could use SimpleDB.
Well, that's all for me. I
hope you have a wonderful week.
Keep being awesome Cloud Gurus, and I
will look forward to seeing you next time.
