It is very simple, but can be quite useful for users who manage many subnets across one or more VPCs. Read more in the post from Mathew Duggan, [Quickly find unused CIDR blocks in your AWS VPC](https://aws-oss.beachgeek.co.uk/1nm)\n\n##### **ec2-spot-interrupter-cli**\n\n[ec2-spot-interrupter-cli](https://aws-oss.beachgeek.co.uk/1nv) this is a neat tool that provides a command line interface to simulate EC2 Spot Instances interruptions using AWS Fault Injection Simulator (FIS).\n\n##### **amazon-cloudwatch-retention-period-setter**\n\n[amazon-cloudwatch-retention-period-setter](https://aws-oss.beachgeek.co.uk/1nt) By default, all the logs stored in [Amazon CloudWatch](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/cloudwatch/?trk=cndc-detail) log groups are kept indefinitely and their retention period is set to Never Expire which might result in excessive costs. To reduce storage costs, customers should consider changing the default retention period. Changing [Amazon CloudWatch](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/cloudwatch/?trk=cndc-detail) log groups retention period manually could be tedious considering that you need to track all the newly created log groups. This repo contains a solution to help you automate that, and links to a detailed walk through of how to configure this.\n\n##### **Demos, Samples and Workshops**\n##### **aws-global-pubsub-api**\n\n[aws-global-pubsub-api](https://aws-oss.beachgeek.co.uk/1nx) This is an implementation of a multi-region PubSub real-time API based on Serverless/Functionless WebSockets where clients are subscribed to a specific channel and messages are pushed automatically to clients listening/subscribed to the channel in both regions. Connections management, scalability, fan-out and broadcasting are all automatically handled by the regional AppSync APIs.\n\n\n\n##### **deploy-kubernetes-resources-to-amazon-eks-using-azure-devops\n**\n[deploy-kubernetes-resources-to-amazon-eks-using-azure-devops](https://aws-oss.beachgeek.co.uk/1nu) if you are using Azure DevOps as part of your developer tooling, then this project might be of interest. This pattern aims to provide guidance on how to deploy a containerized application to [Amazon EKS](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/eks/?trk=cndc-detail) cluster from Azure DevOps using Helm chart. The pattern can be further extended by modifying the pipeline template shared here to use the Azure pipelines service connection for AWS in order to query and use data from AWS Cloud.\n\n\n\n##### **observability-with-amazon-opensearch**\n\n[observability-with-amazon-opensearch](https://aws-oss.beachgeek.co.uk/1ns) this repo contains a workshop where you will learn how to instrument, collect, and analyze metrics, traces, and log data all the way from user front ends to service backends and everything in between. Put this together with OpenSearch, AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry, FluentBit, and Data Prepper.\n\n\n\n##### **aws-sagemaker-pipelines-skin-classification**\n\n[aws-sagemaker-pipelines-skin-classification](https://aws-oss.beachgeek.co.uk/1nw) This repository aims at enabling the customization of a built-in SageMaker pipeline for MLOps to user-defined workflow. In this case we address a computer vision use case for skin lesion classification. This is a step-by-step guide on how to adapt an existing code to the CI/CD pipeline in AWS SageMaker Studio.\n\n##### **amazon-elasticache-demo-using-aws-cdk**\n\n[amazon-elasticache-demo-using-aws-cdk](https://aws-oss.beachgeek.co.uk/1ny) this repo contains code to deploy Amazon Elasticache for Redis using [AWS Cloud Development Kit](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/cdk/?trk=cndc-detail) ([AWS CDK](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/cdk/?trk=cndc-detail)). The demo configures a host for the web application using Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). We load a large dataset into a MySQL database hosted on Amazon Relational Database Service ([Amazon RDS](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/rds/?trk=cndc-detail)). To cache queries we use [Amazon ElastiCache](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/elasticache/?trk=cndc-detail) for Redis. The following architecture diagram shows the solution components and how they interact.\n\n\n\n#### **AWS and Community blog posts**\n##### **Smithy**\n\nSmithy is an open sourced interface definition language and set of tools that allows developers to build clients and servers in multiple languages. Adam Thomas shares his excitement about the developer preview of Smithy’s server and client generators for TypeScript in his post, [Smithy Server and Client Generator for TypeScript (Developer Preview)](https://aws-oss.beachgeek.co.uk/1n4). This enables developers to write concise, type-safe code in the same model-first manner that AWS has used to develop its services. Recommended read this week. [hands on]\n\n\n\n##### **Apache Livy**\n\nApache Livy is a service that enables easy interaction with a Spark cluster over a REST interface. In [Access Apache Livy using a Network Load Balancer on a Kerberos-enabled Amazon EMR cluster](https://aws-oss.beachgeek.co.uk/1nr) Bharat Gamini and John Benninghoff discuss how to provide Kerberos ticket access to Livy for external systems like Airflow and Notebooks. [hands on]\n\n##### **OpenSearch**\n\nShahar Shaked put together this blog post, [Introducing open-source Kubernetes Operator for OpenSearch](https://aws-oss.beachgeek.co.uk/1nn) that takes a look at the OpenSearch Operator. This is a fully open-source Kubernetes Operator, licensed as Apache 2.0, and is used for automating the deployment, provisioning, management, and orchestration of OpenSearch clusters and OpenSearch dashboards.\n\n##### **Ray**\n\nRay is an open source (Apache 2.0 License) framework to build and scale distributed applications. In the post, Announcing [Amazon CloudWatch](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/cloudwatch/?trk=cndc-detail) for Ray Daniel Yeo and Yiqin(Miranda) Zhu share how with CloudWatch for Ray, you can now deploy your Ray applications in production on [Amazon EC2 ](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/ec2/?trk=cndc-detail)and monitor their health with near real-time metrics, logs, and alarms.\n\n##### **Terraform**\n\nA great post from Andrew Wasilczuk at the Scale Factory, that shows you how you can use Terraform to automat the deployment and configuration of [AWS Control Tower](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/controltower/?trk=cndc-detail). If you have been looking to automate how you deploy and comnfigure [AWS Control Tower](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/controltower/?trk=cndc-detail), you need to read the post, [Is AWS Control Tower suitable for Terraform users?](https://aws-oss.beachgeek.co.uk/1nc)\n\n##### **[AWS Copilot](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/containers/copilot/?trk=cndc-detail)**\n\nIn the post [AWS Copilot GitHub Actions](https://blog.sivamuthukumar.com/aws-copilot-github-actions), AWS Community Builder Sivamuthu Kumar shows you how you can use [AWS Copilot](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/containers/copilot/?trk=cndc-detail), an open-source command-line interface that makes it easy for developers to build, release, and operate production-ready containerised applications on AWS, together with GitHub actions.

[hands on]\n\n\n\n##### **Locust**\n\nLocust is an open-source load testing tool I have featured in previous newsletters that comes with a real-time dashboard and programmable test scenarios.\n\n\n\nIn the post, [Load testing your workload running on Amazon EKS with Locust](https://aws-oss.beachgeek.co.uk/1n5), Sean Lee, Jeongyeol Lee, Seungjae Lee, Wontag Han, and Jonas Woo walk you through the steps to build two [Amazon EKS](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/eks/?trk=cndc-detail) clusters, one for generating load using Locust and another for running a sample workload. You can use this as the basis for your own setup. [hands on]\n\n\n\n##### **Kubernetes**\n\nIn the post [Introducing Kubernetes Resource View in Amazon EKS console](https://aws-oss.beachgeek.co.uk/1n9) is a post from Paavan Mistry and Matt DePietro that explores an update within the [Amazon EKS](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/eks/?trk=cndc-detail) console which will mean you are able to see all Kubernetes API resource types running in your [Amazon EKS](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/eks/?trk=cndc-detail) clusters, making it easier to visualise and troubleshoot your Kubernetes applications using [Amazon EKS](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/eks/?trk=cndc-detail).\n\nI also found this post from AWS Partner Weaveworks, [Weaveworks & AWS: Best Practices for Hybrid Cloud Kubernetes with EKS and Weave GitOps](https://aws-oss.beachgeek.co.uk/1nd) which provides and overview and links to the whitepaper on currnet good practices for Hybrid Cloud Kubernetes with EKS. Absolutely essential reading if you are using [Amazon EKS](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/eks/?trk=cndc-detail).\n\n##### **AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry**\n\nAWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) is a secure, AWS-supported distribution of the OpenTelemetry project. Viji Sarathy and Imaya Kumar Jagannathan have come together to write, [Metrics and traces Collection from Amazon ECS using AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry with Dynamic Service Discovery](https://aws-oss.beachgeek.co.uk/1na) showing you how you can deploy a single instance of an ADOT Collector to an [Amazon ECS](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/ecs/?trk=cndc-detail) cluster and collecting Prometheus metrics from workloads that were dynamically discovered by taking advantage of the integration between [Amazon ECS](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/ecs/?trk=cndc-detail) and [AWS Cloud Map](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/cloud-map/?trk=cndc-detail). [hands on]\n\n\n\n##### **Other posts worth checking out**\n\n- [Automate interval partitioning maintenance, and monitoring in Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL](https://aws-oss.beachgeek.co.uk/1n3) and [Amazon Aurora](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/rds/aurora/?trk=cndc-detail) PostgreSQL demonstrates how to configure interval partitioning in an Aurora PostgreSQL database using PostgreSQL extensions such as pg_partman and pg_cron\n- [AWS announces support for Android, iOS, and MacOS games with AWS GameKit for Unreal Engine](https://aws-oss.beachgeek.co.uk/1n6) is an update to share how [AWS GameKit](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/gamekit/?trk=cndc-detail) now supports Android, iOS, and MacOS games developed with Unreal Engine\n- [Accelerate hybrid quantum-classical algorithms on Amazon Braket using embedded simulators from Xanadu’s PennyLane featuring NVIDIA cuQuantum](https://aws-oss.beachgeek.co.uk/1n7) explores what are Quantum embedded simulators and how you might use them\n\n\n\n##### **Case Studies**\n\n- [Ogury Uses Open Source Technologies on AWS to Run Low-Latency Machine Learning](https://aws-oss.beachgeek.co.uk/1n8) is a great case study showcasing how Ogury, a Personified Advertising company, is using open source machine learning (ML) on AWS to deliver a planned 300,000 inferences per second under 10-ms latency\n\n\n\n\n#### **Quick updates**\n##### **PostgreSQL**\n\nAmazon Relational Database Service ([Amazon RDS](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/rds/?trk=cndc-detail)) for PostgreSQL announces support for PostgreSQL 14 with three levels of cascaded read replicas, 5 replicas per instance, supporting a maximum of up to 155 read replicas per source instance. You can now create Single-AZ or Multi-AZ cascaded read replica DB instances in same region or any one cross region from another read replica instance, enabling you to build a more robust disaster recovery architecture.\n\nStarting with [Amazon RDS](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/rds/?trk=cndc-detail) for PostgreSQL 14.1 and higher, read intensive workloads such as data analytics can now benefit from up to 155 cascaded read replicas that offer up to 30 times higher read capacity versus previous versions of PostgreSQL, thereby reducing the load on source instance. You can now also pre-create read replicas for your selected disaster recovery target read replica and utilise read scaling immediately after promoting the target. The cascaded read replicas also come with the option to enable automated backup that allows for a quicker promotion of read replica to source instance since only incremental snapshot is required for the promoted read replica.\n\n##### **AWS SAM**\n\nNow you can use the [AWS Serverless Application Model](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/serverless/sam/?trk=cndc-detail) (AWS SAM) CLI to enable [AWS X-Ray](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/xray/?trk=cndc-detail) tracing in your AWS SAM templates automatically, without manually authoring your AWS SAM templates. This makes it easier to centrally manage [AWS X-Ray](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/xray/?trk=cndc-detail) tracing across your Lambda functions in your serverless application.\n\nThe AWS SAM CLI is a developer tool that makes it easier to initialise, build, package, test on local and cloud, and deploy serverless applications. [AWS X-Ray](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/xray/?trk=cndc-detail) helps you analyse and debug your distributed applications, such as those built using a microservices architecture. [AWS X-Ray](https://aws.amazon.com/cn/xray/?trk=cndc-detail) provides an end-to-end view of requests as they travel through your application, making it easier to monitor and troubleshoot complex serverless architectures. Enabling tracing through the AWS SAM CLI reduces the complexity of setting up tracing on each of your Lambda functions.\n\nTo enable tracing through the AWS SAM CLI, simply add --tracing flag to the sam init command invocation to activate tracing. You can enable tracing across all Lambda functions in your AWS SAM application, or for specific functions.\n\n#### **Videos of the week**\n##### **.NET Core**\n\nSteven David helps you learn about Porting Assistant for .NET, an analysis tool that scans .NET Framework applications and generates a .NET Core compatibility assessment, helping you port your applications to cloud native services faster.\n\n<video src=\\"https://dev-media.amazoncloud.cn/e4d4b3b107284aba8f242895be571a5e_Port%20.NET%20applications%20from%20.NET%20Framework%20to%20.NET%20Core%20_%20AWS%20Events.mp4\\" class=\\"manvaVedio\\" controls=\\"controls\\" style=\\"width:160px;height:160px\\"></video>\n\n#### **Events for your diary**\n\nEvents coming up in the next few weeks.
