Prowler for AWS provides hundreds of security configuration checks across services such as Amazon Redshift, Amazon ElasticCache, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon CloudFront, and many more. In this post, we focus on these new and expanded Amazon RDS security checks, their integration with AWS Security Hub, and the benefits they offer AWS users.

UUID Version 7 (UUIDv7) was introduced to improve the randomness of UUIDv4. UUIDv7 encodes a Unix timestamp with millisecond precision in the first 48 bits of the UUID, meaning that UUIDv7 is time-based and sequential. Trusted Language Extensions (pg_tle) for PostgreSQL is a new open source development kit to help you build high performance extensions that run safely on PostgreSQL. In this post, we demonstrate how to create and install a Trusted Language Extension (TLE) using PL/Rust as the trusted language to generate a UUIDv7. We also take a deeper look into the underlying implementation of the extension.
