Amazon RDS for SQL Server increases the maximum size and provisioned performance of General Purpose (gp3) volumes - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for SQL Server now supports higher volume-level limits for General Purpose (gp3) storage. With this update, each gp3 volume can scale up to 64 TiB in size (4X the previous 16 TiB limit), up to 80,000 IOPS (5X the previous 16,000 IOPS limit), and up to 2,000 MiB/s throughput (2X the previous 1,000 MiB/s limit).

With these improvements, customers can now run larger Microsoft SQL Server databases on Amazon RDS. Workloads with demanding I/O requirements such as high-throughput OLTP systems and large-scale analytical workloads can take advantage of higher IOPS and throughput on a single volume with simplified storage management, and get better performance for mission-critical SQL Server workloads. Additionally, you can configure additional storage volumes to add up to three gp3 or io2 volumes per DB instance, increasing total capacity up to 256 TiB per instance. There is no change to pricing - customers pay for storage and any additional IOPS and throughput they provision beyond the baseline default.

For more information, refer to the Amazon RDS for SQL Server User Guide. See Amazon RDS for SQL Server Pricing for pricing details and regional availability.

[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] Boosting Azure DevOps Security with GHAS Code Scanning - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Debjyoti Ganguly shares insights on the security benefits and configuration of GHAS Code Scanning with Azure DevOps. Boosting Azure DevOps Security with GHAS Code Scanning Code scanning, a pipeline-based tool available in GitHub Advanced Security, is designed to detect code vulnerabilities and bugs within the source code of ADO (Azure DevOps) repositories. Utilizing CodeQL as a static analysis tool, it performs query analysis and variant analysis. When vulnerabilities are found, it generates security alerts. CodeQL CodeQL is a powerful static analysis tool used for showing vulnerabilities and bugs in source code. It enables developers to write custom queries that analyze codebases, searching for specific patterns and potential security issues. By converting code into a database format, CodeQL allows for sophisticated, database-like queries to detect flaws. CodeQL in Action 1. Preparing the Code Create a CodeQL Database : Extract and structure the code into a database for analy...

[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...
