In this post, you learn how to implement blue/green deployments by using Amazon API Gateway for your APIs. For this post, we use AWS Lambda functions on the backend. However, you can follow the same strategy for other backend implementations of the APIs. All the required infrastructure is deployed by using AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM).

When migrating Amazon EC2 instances with encrypted Amazon EBS volumes across AWS Regions with in the same account or a different account, you face a particular challenge: AWS KMS keys are AWS Region-specific and cannot be shared across AWS Regions. This post provides a step-by-step approach to successfully migrate your encrypted EC2 instances without compromising your security posture by sharing your KMS keys.

This post builds on our workshop “Build multi-party crypto wallets with AWS Nitro Enclaves” which demonstrates a Shamir Secret Sharing (SSS) application. The SSS app securely splits cryptographic private keys into multiple shards, requiring a threshold number to reconstruct the original key, ideal for Nitro Enclaves as it prevents any single party from accessing the complete key while maintaining operational functionality. AWS Nitro Enclaves provide isolated environments that keep critical operations such as decryption and cryptographic key management secure from both from root user and external threats.

Welcome to the 30th edition of the AWS Serverless ICYMI (in case you missed it) quarterly recap. At the end of a quarter, we share the most recent product launches, feature enhancements, blog posts, videos, live streams, and other interesting things that you might have missed! In case you missed our last ICYMI, check out […]

Users usually package their function code as container images when using machine learning (ML) models that are larger than 250 MB, which is the Lambda deployment package size limit for zip files. In this post, we demonstrate an approach that downloads ML models directly from Amazon S3 into your function’s memory so that you can continue packaging your function code using zip files.

In this post, we show how to use Step Functions Distributed Map to process Amazon S3 objects and export results to Amazon S3 Tables, creating a scalable and maintainable data processing pipeline.

Today, we’re excited to announce new capabilities that further simplify the local testing experience for Lambda functions and serverless applications through integration with LocalStack, an AWS Partner, in the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code. In this post, we will show you how you can enhance your local testing experience for serverless applications with LocalStack using AWS Toolkit.

Amazon EC2 offers AMD-based instances built on multiple generations of AMD EPYC processors. This post focuses on optimization strategies for the 3rd and 4th generation families, which provide enhanced capabilities for compute and memory-intensive workloads.

Today, we announce the availability of a Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) for Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023), developed through collaboration between Amazon Web Services (AWS) and the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). The STIG guidelines are important for U.S Department of Defense (DOD) and Federal customers needing strict security compliance derived from the National Institute […]

Delightful developer experience is an important part of building serverless applications efficiently, whether you’re creating an automation script or developing a complex enterprise application. While AWS Lambda has transformed modern application development in the cloud with its serverless computing model, developers spend significant time working in their local environments. They rely on familiar IDEs, debugging […]
