Feed: AWS Compute Blog. Author: Tara Van Unen. This post courtesy of Massimiliano Angelino, AWS Solutions ArchitectDifferent enterprise systems—ERP, CRM, BI, HR, etc.—need to exchange information but normally cannot do that natively because they are from different vendors. Enterprises have tried multiple ways to integrate heterogeneous systems, generally referred to as enterprise application integration (EAI). Modern EAI systems are based on a message-oriented middleware (MoM), also known as enterprise service bus (ESB). An ESB provides data communication via a message bus, on top of which it also provides components to orchestrate, route, translate, and monitor the data exchange. Communication with the ... Read More

Feed: What's New. With AWS Blockchain Templates, you can deploy Ethereum and Hyperledger Fabric frameworks using managed and certified AWS CloudFormation templates. AWS Blockchain Templates allow you to focus on building your blockchain applications instead of spending time and energy on manual setup of your blockchain network. AWS Blockchain Templates deploy the blockchain framework you choose as containers on an Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) cluster, or directly on an EC2 instance running Docker. Your blockchain network is created in your own Amazon VPC, allowing you to use your VPC subnets and network Access Control Lists. You can assign granular ... Read More

Feed: AWS Big Data Blog. AWS Glue provides enhanced support for working with datasets that are organized into Hive-style partitions. AWS Glue crawlers automatically identify partitions in your Amazon S3 data. The AWS Glue ETL (extract, transform, and load) library natively supports partitions when you work with DynamicFrames. DynamicFrames represent a distributed collection of data without requiring you to specify a schema. You can now push down predicates when creating DynamicFrames to filter out partitions and avoid costly calls to S3. We have also added support for writing DynamicFrames directly into partitioned directories without converting them to Apache Spark DataFrames.Partitioning ... Read More

Feed: Sander Knape. Secret management is one of those security topics that is often an after-thought while designing systems. Passwords are set up manually, shared through non-secure methods such as e-mail or Slack, and password rotation is often neglected because it’s time-consuming and error-prone. This is a shame because with some effort, secret management can definitely be automated. If done properly, less manual work is required to build and maintain applications, and of course security is increased reducing risk. In this blog post I’ll discuss the design decisions that must be made while constructing a secret management automation solution. In ... Read More
