Check out Kiro!

Kiro moves the AI IDE from 'vibe coding' to development driven by specifications.

Specs allow AI-powered development that's repeatable, scalable, and deals better with large and complex projects.

I’m so excited to talk about what I’ve been working on the last 2 months! Today we’re open sourcing Cedar access controls for Kubernetes! Cedar is an open source policy language created by AWS, and this project enables writing expressive K8s permissions 🧵

Today ECR added pull-through-cache support for https://t.co/mAMsa1Jh0Y - automatically sync images from the upstream k8s registry to your private ECR repo ❤️ https://t.co/hcKxsTdmiy #AWS #ECR

Excited to share AWS's proposal for Karpenter to join the Kubernetes organization as a SIG Autoscaling subproject. Interested in open governance for Karpenter? We want to hear from you! https://t.co/TXYsEYZ2J4

We are approaching the 5-year anniversary of Amazon EKS. I had the opportunity to sit down with Corey Quinn and share about EKS, how we started, and our recent announcements! Most notably Karpenter - our open source node management solution.

"EKS is just Kubernetes. Not Amazon’s version of Kubernetes. It’s just Kubernetes that we get from the community and offer it to customers to make it easier for them to consume.” — Eswar Bala (@bala_eswar)

I'm stoked that VPC Lattice went GA today! I'll do a longer thread on what lead to the creation of Lattice and how we are thinking about it long term later on, but for now I'm really excited about getting Lattice into customers hands!

Recommend heeding to Dims advice and take this action with urgency - use new community registry for community images across all your K8s clusters.

[Davanum Srinivas @dims]

Folks, please see the announcement here: https://t.co/cfc1xVc111

for a kubectl/krew plugin to help you identify images that are in the old repository (https://t.co/yzgrRaAZKl), these references should to move to the new registry ASAP! (https://t.co/NHDhImRHu6)

Kubernetes version 1.25 should be ready now on Amazon EKS and Amazon EKS-D. Please kick the tires! https://t.co/4ShDHocWLT

@vszyb I had an incident with @lufthansa. All airlines really need to think their contractual terms and policies they set with the 3rd party baggage delivery services. They are highly unprofessional & untrustworthy in my experience. I’ll never select to have it delivered from here on.

@Lufthansa_USA I traveled from BLR to SEA on Thursday and had a very poor experience. My luggage was missed in the transit. It has been 4 days since I landed without bags and they are yet to be delivered. Cannot reach a human to ask for updates.

Very excited about this new open source project where we will be working very closely with projects like Lima, nerdctl, containerd, and BuildKit. We're building Finch in the open and are looking forward to collaborating broadly on it:
