Amazon CodeGuru Reviewer is a developer tool that detects security vulnerabilities in your code and provides intelligent recommendations to improve code quality. For example, CodeGuru Reviewer introduced Security Detectors for Java and Python code to identify security risks from the top ten Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) categories and follow security best practices for AWS APIs and common crypto libraries. At re:Invent, CodeGuru Reviewer introduced a secrets detector to identify hardcoded secrets and suggest remediation steps to secure your secrets with AWS Secrets Manager. These capabilities help you find and remediate security issues before you deploy. Today, I am happy to share two new features of CodeGuru Reviewer: A new Detector Library describes in detail the detectors that CodeGuru Reviewer…

Amazon Elastic File System Update – Sub-Millisecond Read Latency
Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) was announced in early 2015 and became generally available in 2016. We launched EFS in order to make it easier for you to build applications that need shared access to file data. EFS is (and always has been) simple and serverless: you simply create a file system, attach it to any number of EC2 instances, Lambda functions, or containers, and go about your work. EFS is highly durable and scalable, and gives you a strong read-after-write consistency model. Since the 2016 launch we have added many new features and capabilities including encryption data at rest and in transit, an Infrequent Access storage class, and several other lower cost storage classes. We have also worked…
New – Amazon EC2 C6a Instances Powered By 3rd Gen AMD EPYC Processors for Compute-Intensive Workloads
At AWS re:Invent 2021, we launched Amazon EC2 M6a instances powered by the 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors, running at frequencies up to 3.6 GHz, which offer customers up to 35 percent improvement in price-performance compared to M5a instances. Many customers are looking for ways to optimize their cloud utilization, and they are taking advantage of the compute choice that Amazon EC2 offers. Customers such as Dropbox, Capital One, and Sprinklr have been able to realize the cost benefits of AWS using EC2 instances powered by AMD EPYC processors. Today, I am happy to announce the availability of the new compute-optimized Amazon EC2 C6a instances, which offer up to up to 15 percent improvement in price-performance versus C5a instances, and…
New for App Runner – VPC Support
With AWS App Runner, you can quickly deploy web applications and APIs at any scale. You can start with your source code or a container image, and App Runner will fully manage all infrastructure including servers, networking, and load balancing for your application. If you want, App Runner can also configure a deployment pipeline for you. Starting today, App Runner enables your services to communicate with databases and other applications hosted in an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). For example, you can now connect App Runner services to databases in Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS), Redis or Memcached caches in Amazon ElastiCache, or your own applications running in Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Amazon…
