AWS HealthOmics introduces VPC-connected workflows - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

AWS HealthOmics announces VPC-connected workflows, giving customers the ability to run bioinformatics pipelines that access AWS resources across regions and public internet resources through a customer’s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). With this launch, life sciences customers no longer need to migrate their data and dependencies to the same AWS Region as their workflow before running analyses. AWS HealthOmics is a HIPAA-eligible service that helps accelerate scientific breakthroughs at scale with fully managed bioinformatics workflows. This launch enables life sciences customers to develop and test bioinformatics workflows more quickly. Customers can design workflows that access publicly-hosted data sets as well as AWS resources in different regions without making changes to the workflow code or migrating data between regions.

AWS Elemental MediaTailor now available in Europe (London) - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

AWS Elemental MediaTailor is now available in the Europe (London) AWS Region. MediaTailor is a personalized ad insertion and channel assembly service that enables video providers to serve targeted ads in live and on-demand video streams using server-side ad insertion (SSAI) and Server Guided Ad Insertion (SGAI), delivering a broadcast-quality viewing experience without the buffering or ad blockers associated with client-side ad insertion. With this expansion, customers serving viewers in Northern Europe can now run ad insertion workloads closer to their audience, reducing ad decisioning latency and improving ad fill rates.

[MS] A question about the maximimum number of values in a registry key raises questions about the question - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

A customer wanted to know the maximum number of values that can be stored in a single registry key. They found that they ran into problems when they reached a certain number of values, which was well over a quarter million. Okay, wait a second. Why are you adding over a quarter million values to a registry key!? The customer explained that they mark every file in their installer as msidb­Component­Attributes­Shared­Dll­Ref­Count , to avoid the problem described in the documentation . And when I said every file, I really meant every file . Not just DLLs, but also text files, GIFs, XML files, everything. Just the names of the keys adds up to over 30 megabytes. Since their product supports multiple versions installed side-by-side, installing multiple versions of their product accumulates values in the HKEY_ LOCAL_ MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ SharedDLLs registry key. The customer saw the story about problems if you forget to mark a shared file as msidb­Compo...

[MS] Writing Azure service-related unit tests with Docker using Spring Cloud Azure - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

In this post, we explore how to write Azure service-related unit tests for Spring Boot projects using Docker and Spring Cloud Azure. What is Spring Cloud Azure? Spring Cloud Azure is an open-source project that makes it easier to use Azure services in Spring applications. For more information about this topic, see the user guide . Why use Docker for unit testing? Using Docker for unit testing provides an easy way to test Azure-related features without provisioning real Azure resources. It helps you quickly verify your code changes locally and ensures that your application works as expected before deploying to Azure. Examples Azure Storage Blob Using Docker Compose Add the following dependency to your pom.xml file: <properties> <version.spring.cloud.azure>7.1.0</version.spring.cloud.azure> </properties> <dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>com.azure.spring</groupId> ...
