Deep dives
Improved Incident Detection and Response with Five-Minute Critical Incident Response Time
AWS now offers a five-minute response time for critical incidents, starting at $7,000 a month per workload. This quick response time is considered reasonable given the potential impact of delays during emergencies. Additionally, developers can easily integrate authorization into their applications using OSO, allowing for scalable authorization enforcement. Notable organizations like Intercom, Headway Product Board, and PagerDuty have successfully migrated to OSO for fine-grained authorization support.
.NET 8 Runtime for AWS Lambda and Best Practices for Terraform State File Management in AWS CI CD Pipeline
The introduction of the .NET 8 runtime for AWS Lambda highlights the importance of tailored runtimes for specific languages. On the other hand, managing Terraform state files in AWS CI CD pipelines involves storing the state file in S3 with optional locking in DynamoDB. This practice, although described in detail, aligns with common industry standards and aims to streamline infrastructure management processes.
