🆕 Lambda + Node.js 18.x: 🎉

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/node-js-18-x-runtime-now-available-in-aws-lambda/

🔹 Node.js 18 is now supported by Lambda. When building your Lambda functions using the zip archive packaging style, use a runtime parameter value of nodejs18.x to get started building with Node.js 18.
🔸 For existing Node.js functions, review your code for compatibility with Node.js 18, including deprecations, then migrate to the new runtime by changing the function’s runtime configuration to nodejs18.x.

​​Создание AWS аккаунтов через CloudFormation: 🎉

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/AWS_Organizations.html

Не прошло и... эээ... 6... Что ж, лучше поздно, чем никогда.

Type: AWS::Organizations::Account
Properties:
AccountName: String
Email: String
ParentIds:
- String
RoleName: String
Tags:
- Tag

⚠️ Important
▪️ If you include multiple accounts in a single template, you must use the DependsOn attribute on each account resource type so that the accounts are created sequentially. If you create multiple accounts at the same time, Organizations returns an error and the stack operation fails.
▪️ You can't modify the following list of Account resource parameters using CloudFormation updates.
▫️ AccountName
▫️ Email
▫️ RoleName

​​The Security Design of the AWS Nitro System

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/security-design-of-aws-nitro-system/the-nitro-system-journey.html

The AWS Nitro System is a combination of purpose-built server designs, data processors, system management components, and specialized firmware which provide the underlying platform for all Amazon EC2 instances launched since the beginning of 2018.

Three key components of the Nitro System achieve these goals:
◻️ Purpose-built Nitro Cards — Hardware devices designed by AWS that provide overall system control and input/output (I/O) virtualization independent of the main system board with its CPUs and memory.
◻️ The Nitro Security Chip — Enables a secure boot process for the overall system based on a hardware root of trust, the ability to offer bare metal instances, as well as defense in depth that offers protection to the server from unauthorized modification of system firmware.
◻️ The Nitro Hypervisor — A deliberately minimized and firmware-like hypervisor designed to provide strong resource isolation, and performance that is nearly indistinguishable from a bare metal server.

This paper provides a high-level introduction to virtualization and the fundamental architectural change introduced by the Nitro System.

​​🍎 Open source client for container development — Finch:

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/introducing-finch-an-open-source-client-for-container-development/

At launch, Finch is a new project in its early days with basic functionality, initially only supporting macOS (on all Mac CPU architectures). Once you have installed Finch from the project repository, you can get started building and running containers.
The core Finch client will always be a curated distribution composed entirely of open source, vendor-neutral projects.
