Last week we released version 0.0.3 of the AWS Resource APIs for Java, adding support for the Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) and Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS). SNS and SQS are similar services that together provide a fully-managed cloud messaging platform. These services expose two powerful primitives — Topics and Queues — which let […]

As mentioned in an earlier blog, encrypting data using the Amazon S3 encryption client is one way you can provide an additional layer of protection for sensitive information you store in Amazon S3. Under the hood, the Amazon S3 encryption client randomly generates a one-time data encryption key per S3 object, encrypts the key using […]

I’m almost done getting readjusted to regular life after AWS re:Invent! It was really awesome to meet so many developers building cool stuff on AWS, and to talk about how we can make your lives easier with great SDKs and tools.
