Add macOS to your continuous integration pipelines with AWS CodeBuild

Starting today, you can build applications on macOS with AWS CodeBuild. You can now build artifacts on managed Apple M2 machines that run on macOS 14 Sonoma. AWS CodeBuild is a fully managed continuous integration service that compiles source code, runs tests, and produces ready-to-deploy software packages. Building, testing, signing, and distributing applications for Apple systems (iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and macOS) requires the use of Xcode, which runs exclusively on macOS. When you build for Apple systems in the AWS Cloud, it is very likely you configured your continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline to run on Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (Amazon EC2) Mac instances. Since we launched Amazon EC2 Mac in 2020, I have spent a significant…

Customize Amazon Q Developer (in your IDE) with your private code base

Today, we’re making the Amazon Q Developer (in your IDE) customization capability generally available for inline code completion, and we’re launching a preview of customization for the chat. You can now customize Amazon Q to generate specific code recommendations from private code repositories in the IDE code editor and in the chat. Amazon Q Developer is an artificial intelligence (AI) coding companion. It helps software developers accelerate application development by offering code recommendations in their integrated development environments (IDE) derived from existing comments and code. Behind the scenes, Amazon Q uses large language models (LLMs) trained on billions of lines of code from Amazon and open source projects. Amazon Q is available in your IDE, and you can download the…

AWS Weekly Roundup: Amazon S3 Access Grants, AWS Lambda, European Sovereign Cloud Region, and more (July 8, 2024).

I counted only 21 AWS news since last Monday, most of them being Regional expansions of existing services and capabilities. I hope you enjoyed a relatively quiet week, because this one will be busier. This week, we’re welcoming our customers and partners at the Jacob Javits Convention Center for the AWS Summit New York on Wednesday, July 10. I can tell you there is a stream of announcements coming, if I judge by the number of AWS News Blog posts ready to be published. I am writing these lines just before packing my bag to attend the AWS Community Day in Douala, Cameroon next Saturday. I can’t wait to meet our customers and partners, students, and the whole AWS community…

Amazon CodeCatalyst now supports GitLab and Bitbucket repositories, with blueprints and Amazon Q feature development

I’m happy to announce that we’re further integrating Amazon CodeCatalyst with two popular code repositories: GitLab and BitBucket, in addition to the existing integration with GitHub. We bring the same set of capabilities that you use today on CodeCatalyst with GitHub to GitLab.com and Bitbucket Cloud. Amazon CodeCatalyst is a unified software development and delivery service. It enables software development teams to quickly and easily plan, develop, collaborate on, build, and deliver applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS), reducing friction throughout the development lifecycle. The GitHub, GitLab.com, and Bitbucket Cloud repositories extension for CodeCatalyst simplifies managing your development workflow. The extension allows you to view and manage external repositories directly within CodeCatalyst. Additionally, you can store and manage workflow definition files…
