Amazon DynamoDB global tables with multi-Region strong consistency now supports application resiliency testing with AWS Fault Injection Service - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Amazon DynamoDB global tables with multi-Region strong consistency (MRSC) now supports application resiliency testing with AWS Fault Injection Service (FIS), a fully managed service for running controlled fault injection experiments to improve application performance, observability, and resilience. With this launch, you can create real-world failure scenarios to MRSC global tables, such as during regional failures, enabling you to observe how your applications respond to these disruptions and validate your resilience mechanisms.

MRSC global tables replicate your DynamoDB tables automatically across your choice of AWS Regions to achieve fast, strongly consistent read and write performance, providing you 99.999% availability, increased application resiliency, and improved business continuity. FIS is a fully managed service for running controlled fault injection experiments to improve an application’s performance, observability, and resilience. You can use the new FIS action to observe how their application responds to a pause in regional replication and tune their monitoring and recovery process to improve resiliency and application availability.

MRSC global tables support for FIS is available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Frankfurt), and Europe (Paris). To get started, visit the DynamoDB FIS actions documentation.

[MS] Pulling a single item from a C++ parameter pack by its index, remarks - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

In my earlier discussion of pulling a single item from a C++ parameter pack by its index , I noted that with the Pack Indexing proposal, you would be able to write this to pull an item from a parameter pack while preserving its reference category. template<int index, typename...Args> void example(Args&&... args) { auto&& arg = (Args...[index]&&)args...[index]; using Arg = Args...[index]&&; } Why did I need to apply the (Args...[index]&&) cast ? Why can't I just write this: auto&& arg = args...[index]; or possibly decltype(auto) arg = args...[index]; Well, when you write the name of a variable, the result is an lvalue reference, even if the variable is an rvalue reference . Watch: struct S { S(S&); // construct from lvalue S(S&&); // construct from rvalue }; void whathappens(S&& s) { S t = s; // which will it use? } Try it out in your favorite compiler. This code construc...

[MS] Debugger breakpoints are usually implemented by patching the in-memory copy of the code - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

In practice, when you set a code breakpoint in the debugger, the debugger replaces the instruction at that location with a breakpoint instruction.¹ When execution reaches that instruction, it will encounter the breakpoint instruction and break into the debugger. When the program has been stopped in the debugger, what happens next can vary from debugger to debugger. Some debuggers remove all their breakpoints when the program stops, and then restore the breakpoints when the program resumes. Other debuggers leave the breakpoints in place even when the program is stopped. In both cases, if you inspect the memory in the debugger, you will see the original unpatched code. In the first case, it's because the code really is unpatched; the breakpoint instructions are removed. In the second case, it's because the debugger is lying to you and showing you the original bytes even though they aren't what are in memory right now. Most of the time, this deception is insignificant. Eve...
