Introducing Amazon EC2 C8ine and M8ine instances - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

AWS is announcing the general availability of Amazon EC2 C8ine and Amazon EC2 M8ine instances, powered by custom sixth generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, available only on AWS. These also instances feature the latest sixth generation AWS Nitro cards. C8ine and M8ine instances deliver up to 43% higher performance compared to previous generation C6in and M6in instances.

C8ine and M8ine instances offer up to 2.5 times higher packet performance per vCPU versus prior generation network optimized instances. They provide up to 2x higher network throughput for traffic going through Internet gateways compared to existing C6in and M6in network optimized instances. 

Both instance families are designed for security and network virtual appliances, including virtual firewalls, load balancers, and Telco 5G UPF workloads.

Amazon EC2 C8ine instances are available in US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo), while Amazon EC2 M8ine instances are available in US East (N. Virginia) and US West (Oregon). C8ine and M8ine instances are available via Savings Plans and On-Demand instances. For more information, visit the Amazon EC2 C8i instance and Amazon EC2 M8i instance pages.

[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] Going beyond the empty set: Embracing the power of other empty things - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

The empty set contains nothing. This sounds really silly, but it's actually really nice. The Windows Runtime has a policy that if a method returns a collection (such as an IVector ), and the method produces no results, then it should return an empty collection, rather than a null reference . That way, consumers can just iterate over the collection without having to deal with a null test. For example, suppose you have a method Widget:: Get­Associated­Doodads which returns an IVectorView<Doodad> representing the Doodad objects that have been associated with a Widget object. If no Doodad s have been associated with the Widget , then it should return an empty vector, not a null pointer. That allows developers to write the natural-looking code: // C# foreach (var doodad in widget.GetAssociatedDoodads()) { ⟦ process each doodad ⟧ } // C++/WinRT for (auto&& doodad : widget.GetAssociatedDoodads()) { ⟦ process each doodad ⟧ } // JavaScript widget.GetAssociated...
