Что-то Dynamo DB от Маарека заходила с трудом, поискал в ютубе русскоязычное и неожиданно наткнулся на весьма годный ролик, пусть и немного староватый. Рекомендую: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldV512UFkmY

AWS Outpost - полностью управляемое решение, которое позволяет пользователям вынести инфраструктуру AWS, включая сервисы, API и инструменты в собственный центр обработки данных. И теперь AWS Outposts можно заказать в Казахстан, совместно с @RinatUzbekov и @igor_sh_aws - рассказали что за зверь такой AWS Outposts, для каких целей он потребуется, какие сервисы будут доступны на нем. Демо как заказать AWS Outposts и какой процесс доставки оплаты, все это и не только в нашем видео подкасте. Для вашего удобства есть тайм-коды.

🆕 EventBridge Scheduler: 🎉🎉🎉

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/introducing-amazon-eventbridge-scheduler/

EventBridge Scheduler provides at-least-once event delivery to targets, and you can create schedules that adjust to different delivery patterns:

⏰ Time window allows you to start a schedule within a window of time. This means that the scheduled tasks are dispersed across the time window to reduce the impact of multiple requests on downstream services.
⏳ Maximum retention time of the event is the maximum time to keep an unprocessed event in the scheduler. If the target is not responding during this time, the event is dropped or sent to a DLQ.
🔁 Retries with exponential backoff help to retry a failed task with delayed attempts. This improves the success of the task when the target is available.
✉️ A dead letter queue is an SQS queue where events that failed to get delivered to the target are routed.

By default, EventBridge Scheduler tries to send the event for 24 hours and a maximum of 185 times.

⚠️ Quota on schedules: 1 million per account (soft limit)

Хорошие комментарии от Андрея Девяткина по AWS Startup Security Baseline:

https://fivexl.io/blog/fivexl-reaction/

Особенно солидарен по пункту Enforce a password policy, ведь IAM users в идеале быть не должно вообще, потому этот пункту заведомо ущербный.

​​Kubernetes 1.24 для EKS и EKS Distro

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/containers/amazon-eks-now-supports-kubernetes-version-1-24/

Спустя официального релиза 1.24 прошло меньше 6 месяцев, то есть задержка поддержки очередной версии сократилась, что радует. Сделанный в прошлый раз прогноз на эту версию был не самым точным — ошибся больше, чем на две недели.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/kubernetes-versions.html#kubernetes-1.24

Отставание по версиям по-прежнему не радует, т.к. почти три месяца назад вышла версия 1.25. 😐 В качестве прогноза этой версии на AWS поставлю на 15 апреля 2023 года.

Отдельно стоит отметить, что 1 ноября закончилась поддержка версии EKS 1.20, а окончание поддержки версии 1.21 будет уже этой зимой — 15 февраля.
