AWS Elemental MediaTailor adds configurable ad timeout and concurrency controls for improved ad fill and faster startup - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

AWS Elemental MediaTailor now gives you direct control over ad decision server (ADS) timeout. Previously, changing these settings required contacting AWS Support. You can now configure individual HTTP ad request timeouts, total ad personalization time budgets for live, VOD, and live ad prefetch, and enable parallel ADS requests.

These settings allow you to optimize ad delivery performance for your specific workflows. For example, you can increase the personalization time budget for live events to improve ad fill rates or enable parallel ADS requests in VOD workflows to reduce overall response time for faster video startup. New prefetch-specific timeout settings give you additional granularity for livestream ad retrieval.

You can configure these settings through the AWS Elemental MediaTailor console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs using the new AdsPersonalizationTimeouts and AdsPersonalizationConcurrency parameters on your playback configurations.

This feature is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Elemental MediaTailor is available. 

To learn more about configuring ADS request timeouts, personalization time budgets, and concurrency, see Advanced settings in the AWS Elemental MediaTailor User Guide.

[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...

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...
