Welcome to the eighth edition of the AWS Serverless ICYMI (in case you missed it) quarterly recap. Every quarter, we share the most recent product launches, feature enhancements, blog posts, webinars, Twitch live streams, and other interesting things that you might have missed! In case you missed our last ICYMI, checkout what happened last quarter […]

Factories that produce a high volume of inventory must ensure that defective products are not shipped. This is often accomplished with human workers on the assembly line or through computer vision. You can build an application that uses a custom image classification model to detect and report back any defects in a product, then takes […]

In this post I will show how to implement the callback pattern of an AWS Step Functions Standard Workflow. This is used to add a manual approval step into an automated security incident response framework. The framework could be extended to remediate automatically, according to the individual policy actions defined. For example, applying alternative actions, or […]

Using a simple Arduino sketch, an AWS Serverless Application Repository application, and a microcontroller, you can build a basic serverless workflow for communicating with an AWS IoT Core device. A microcontroller is a programmable chip and acts as the brain of an electronic device. It has input and output pins for reading and writing on […]

This blog post describes an upcoming change to the AWS SDK that affects Python developers using the requests module in Botocore. This post explains why the changes are happening, and describes what Python developers must do to continue using the requests library. The upcoming changes to AWS SDK Botocore is a low-level interface to many […]

The Python Software Foundation (PSF), which is the Python language governing body, ended support for Python 2.7 on January 1, 2020. Additionally, many popular open source software packages also ended their support for Python 2.7 then. What is AWS Lambda doing? We recognize that Python 2 and 3 differ across several core language aspects, and […]

In the week before AWS re:Invent 2019 we wrote about a number of service and feature launches leading up to the biggest event of the year for us at AWS. These included new features for AWS Lambda, integrations for AWS Step Functions, and other exciting service and feature launches for related product areas. But this […]

Written by: Nicola Venuti, HPC Specialist Solutions Architect  In July 2019 I published: “Best Practices for Running Ansys Fluent Using AWS ParallelCluster.” The first post demonstrated how to launch ANSYS Fluent on AWS using AWS ParallelCluster. In this blog, I discuss a new AWS service: the Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA).   I also walk you through an example that […]

This post is written by Sivasubramanian Ramani In many real work applications, you can use custom Docker images with AWS Batch and AWS CloudFormation to execute complex jobs efficiently.   This post provides a file processing implementation using Docker images and Amazon S3, AWS Lambda, Amazon DynamoDB, and AWS Batch. In this scenario, the user […]

On November 27, we announced that AWS Lambda now includes additional attributes in the function information returned by several Lambda API actions to better communicate the current “state” of your function, when they are being created or updated. In our post “Tracking the state of AWS Lambda functions”, we covered the various states your Lambda […]
