In version 3.1.1.2 of the DynamoDB .NET SDK package, we added pagination support to the Document Model. This feature allows you to use a pagination token returned by the API to paginate a set of Query or Scan results across sessions. Until now, it was not possible to resume pagination of Query or Scan results […]

Today’s guest post is the second part of the two part series by AWS Solutions Architect Russell Day. Part one can be found here. In the previous post, we showed how to use the User data field to install Windows scheduled tasks automatically when Windows EC2 instances are launched. In this post, we will demonstrate […]

Today we refreshed our ASP.NET 5 and CoreCLR support for the AWS SDK for .NET. This means we have pulled in all of the latest service updates, new services like AWS IoT, and enhancements from our stable 3.1 line of NuGet packages into new 3.2 beta versions of the SDK. Because there are a few […]

Today’s guest post is part one of a two part series by AWS Solutions Architect Russell Day. Windows administrators and developers often use scheduled tasks to run programs or scripts on a recurring basis. In this post, we will demonstrate how to use the Amazon EC2 User data option to install scheduled tasks on Windows […]

My colleague Joseph Fontes, an AWS Solutions Architect, wrote the guest post below to discuss automation strategies for AWS Config. There are times when you need to automate the deployment of services either in your account or within external accounts.  When I recently had to enable AWS Config support in remote accounts, I approached this […]

One of the most exciting Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 features is the ability to have static analysis run on your code as you write it. This allows you to flag code that is syntactically correct but will cause errors when run. We have added static analyzers to the latest AWS SDK NuGet packages for each […]

Whether it’s a quickstart for using a service, a tricky gotcha, or a neat application, have you ever wanted to share information with other users of the AWS CLI? The good news is, you can. In a post, that I wrote a few months ago, I introduced the AWS CLI Topic Guide and described how […]

Starting with version 3.1.31.0, the AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell support the use of federated user accounts through Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) for accessing AWS services, using Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). In earlier versions, all cmdlets that called AWS services required you to specify AWS access and secret keys through either cmdlet […]

In parts 1, 2, and 3 of this series, we used the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse to create a Java Lambda function. This function authenticated a user against an Amazon DynamoDB table (representing a directory of users) and then connected to Amazon Cognito to obtain an OpenID token. This token could then be used to […]

Today, I’m excited to announce the Practical DynamoDB Programming in Java demo from AWS re:Invent 2015 is available on github. This project is used to demonstrate how Amazon DynamoDB can be used together with AWS Lambda to perform real-time and batch analysis of domain-specific data. Real-time analysis is performed by using DynamoDB streams as an event source of a Lambda function. Batch […]
