Starting today, Rust developers can store and access their libraries (known as crates in Rust’s world) on AWS CodeArtifact. Modern software development relies heavily on pre-written code packages to accelerate development. These packages, which can number in the hundreds for a single application, tackle common programming tasks and can be created internally or obtained from external sources. While these packages significantly help to speed up development, their use introduces two main challenges for organizations: legal and security concerns. On the legal side, organizations need to ensure they have compatible licenses for these third-party packages and that they don’t infringe on intellectual property rights. Security is another risk, as vulnerabilities in these packages could be exploited to compromise an application. A…

I am pleased to announce a new use case based on trusted identity propagation, a recently introduced capability of AWS IAM Identity Center. Tableau, a commonly used business intelligence (BI) application, can now propagate end-user identity down to Amazon Redshift. This has a triple benefit. It simplifies the sign-in experience for end users. It allows data owners to define access based on real end-user identity. It allows auditors to verify data access by users. Trusted identity propagation allows applications that consume data (such as Tableau, Amazon QuickSight, Amazon Redshift Query Editor, Amazon EMR Studio, and others) to propagate the user’s identity and group memberships to the services that store and manage access to the data, such as Amazon Redshift, Amazon Athena,…

AWS Summit season is in full swing around the world, with last week’s events in Bengaluru, Berlin, and  Seoul, where my blog colleague Channy delivered one of the keynotes. Last week’s launches Here are some launches that got my attention: Amazon S3 will no longer charge for several HTTP error codes – A customer reported how he was charged for Amazon S3 API requests he didn’t initiate and which resulted in AccessDenied errors. The Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) service team updated the service to not charge such API requests anymore. As always when talking about pricing, the exact wording is important, so please read the What’s New post for the details. Introducing Amazon EC2 C7i-flex instances – These…
