Requests are the core of the Go SDK. They handle the network request to a specific service. When you call a service method in the AWS SDK for Go, the SDK creates a request object that contains the input parameters and request lifecycle handlers. The logic involved in each step of a request’s lifecycle, such […]

Cryptography is hard in any programming language. It is especially difficult in platform-portable native code where we don’t have the advantage of a constant platform implementation. Many customers have asked us for an Amazon S3 encryption client that is compatible with the Java and Ruby clients. Although we are not ready to release that yet, […]

Version 3.1.73.0 of the AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell and AWS SDK for .NET (AWSSDK.Core version 3.1.6.0),  released today, contain enhancements to the way credentials and region data can be supplied to your SDK applications and PowerShell scripts, including the ability to use SAML federated credentials in your SDK applications. We’ve also refactored support for […]

Many of our users are confused by initializing and installing a memory manager, enabling logging, overriding the HTTP stack, and installing custom cryptography implementations. Not only are these tasks confusing, they are tedious and require an API call to set up and tear down each component. To make matters worse, on some platforms, we were […]

Introduction In this blog post, I will walk you through a turn-key solution that includes one of our most recently released services, AWS Config. This solution shows how to automate the ingestion of your AWS Config snapshots into the ElasticSearch/Logstash/Kibana (ELK) stack for searching and mapping your AWS environments. Using this functionality, you can do […]

In this, the last part of our serverless service discovery series, we will show how to register and look up a new service. We will add these components: AWS Lambda Registrar Agent In Docker, it is common to have container agents that add functionality to your Docker deployment. We will borrow from this concept and […]

In this, the third part of our serverless service discovery series, we will show how to configure Amazon API Gateway to require AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) for authentication and how to create a V4 signature to call our register and deregister methods. We have created all the functions required to manage our API […]

The default thread executor implementation we provide for asynchronous operations spins up a thread and then detaches it. On modern operating systems, this is often exactly what we want. However, there are some other use cases for which this simply will not work. For example, suppose we want to fire off asynchronous calls to Amazon […]

In this, the second part of our serverless service discovery series, we will use Amazon DynamoDB to store information about the services in our service discovery service and update our AWS Lambda function to read information from the DynamoDB table. Updating Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda As part of adding new functionality to what […]
