Chances are, you’ll picture an adult, probably male, dirty, likely with some health conditions, including a mental illness. Few of us would immediately recall homeless individuals as family members, neighbors, co-workers and other loved ones. Fewer still are likely aware of how many youths (both minors and young adults) experience homelessness annually.  Homeless youth is a population who can become invisible to us in many ways. These youth may still be in school, may go to work, and ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. AWS Step Functions allows you to build resilient serverless workflows using AWS services such as AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon DynamoDB, and more. Express Workflows, a type of AWS Step Functions workflows, allows you to cost-effectively orchestrate high-event-rate workloads that use AWS compute, database, and messaging services. Express Workflows ensures that the steps in your workflow are followed reliably, that information is passed between steps, and that errors are handled automatically. Synchronous Express Workflows are ideal to manage high-volume, short duration, synchronous workflows such as the orchestration of microservices behind Amazon API Gateway. For example, capture responses ... Read More

Feed: AWS Compute Blog. Author: Benjamin Smith. Today, AWS is introducing Synchronous Express Workflows for AWS Step Functions. This is a new way to run Express Workflows to orchestrate AWS services at high-throughput. Developers have been using asynchronous Express Workflows since December 2019 for workloads that require higher event rates and shorter durations. Customers were looking for ways to receive an immediate response from their Express Workflows without having to write additional code or introduce additional services. What’s new? Synchronous Express Workflows allow developers to quickly receive the workflow response without needing to poll additional services or build a custom ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. Before this launch, if your ASG did not confine to a single-AZ or used multiple instance types, the scaling speed was restricted by the minimum scaling step size defined in the capacity provider configuration. Now, CAS can estimate the optimal number of instances to add for such ASGs, similar to how it estimates for single AZ and instance type ASGs, making the scaling more responsive. With CAS, the scaling policy of your ASG is managed by Amazon ECS through a capacity provider. You can configure the capacity provider to enable managed scaling of the ASG, reserve excess ...

Feed: AWS Architecture Blog. Recovering your mission-critical workloads from outages is essential for business continuity and providing services to customers with little or no interruption. That’s why many customers replicate their mission-critical workloads in multiple places using a Disaster Recovery (DR) strategy suited for their needs. With AWS, a customer can achieve this by deploying multi Availability Zone High-Availability setup or a multi-region setup by replicating critical components of an application to another region.  Depending on the RPO and RTO of the mission-critical workload, the requirement for disaster recovery ranges from simple backup and restore, to multi-site, active-active, setup. In ... Read More
