In 2018 I wrote about AWS Firewall Manager (Central Management for Your Web Application Portfolio) and showed you how you could host multiple applications, perhaps spanning multiple AWS accounts and regions, while maintaining centralized control over your organization’s security settings and profile. In the same way that Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) supports multiple database engines, Firewall Manager supports multiple types of firewalls: AWS Web Application Firewall, AWS Shield Advanced, VPC security groups, AWS Network Firewall, and Amazon Route 53 DNS Resolver DNS Firewall. Cloud NGFW for AWS Today we are introducing support for Palo Alto Networks Cloud NGFW in Firewall Manager. You can now use Firewall Manager to centrally provision & manage your Cloud next-generation firewall resources (also called…

Among the most relevant news, we have improvements done in AWS Lambda, a new service for game developers, and we are back with the AWS Summits all around the world. Last Week’s Launches Here are some launches that got my attention during the previous week. AWS Lambda Now Supports Up to 10 GB Ephemeral Storage – This new launch allows you to configure the temporary file system capacity (/tmp) of Lambda up to 10 GB! This is very useful…
Empathy and trust: How 3 women influence Google products
This Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating Googlers who contribute to products and features that people rely on each day. Last week we heard from women working on our crisis hotlines and Street View. Today, we hear from three more Googlers about how they build products — like Maps, Google Assistant and Google News — with safety, empathy and collaboration in mind. Making the internet safer for women What do you love most about building at Google? Few companies in the world have the level of impact that Google does. When I tell people I work on Google Maps, they tell me how much they love Maps and how it’s a part of their everyday life. That’s the best part…
AWS Lambda Now Supports Up to 10 GB Ephemeral Storage
Serverless applications are event-driven, using ephemeral compute functions ranging from web APIs, mobile backends, and streaming analytics to data processing stages in machine learning (ML) and high-performance applications. While AWS Lambda includes a 512 MB temporary file system (/tmp) for your code, this is an ephemeral scratch resource not intended for durable storage such as Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS). However, extract, transform, and load (ETL) jobs and content generation workflows such as creating PDF files or media transcoding require fast, scalable local storage to process large amounts of data quickly. Data-intensive applications require large amounts of temporary data specific to the invocation or cached data that can be reused for all invocation in the same execution environment in…
