Amazon WorkSpaces now supports Nested Virtualization - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

AWS announces availability of nested virtualization for Amazon WorkSpaces Personal and Amazon WorkSpaces Core Managed Bundles. With nested virtualization enabled, developers can run Docker Desktop, WSL2, and other hypervisor-dependent tools directly on their Windows WorkSpaces, and KVM-based workloads, Android emulators, and nested containers on their Linux WorkSpaces — without needing separate physical hardware or workaround environments.

Nested virtualization is supported on license-included (public and custom) bundles, Bring Your Own License (BYOL) bundles, and Bring Your Own Protocol (BYOP) bundles running Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2025, Windows 11, Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 24.04, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9, Rocky 8, or Rocky 9 with DCV protocol. Power (4 vCPU) or higher is recommended. Nested virtualization is not supported on GPU bundles, the PCoIP protocol, or Amazon WorkSpaces based on Windows Server 2016, Windows 10, and Amazon Linux 2. Administrators can enable or disable nested virtualization at the individual workspace level through the console, API, or CLI.

You can get started by enabling nested virtualization on your WorkSpaces through the console or CLI. For more information, visit the Amazon WorkSpaces documentation on Nested Virtualization. Nested virtualization is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon WorkSpaces is available, excluding China (Ningxia) Region and Israel (Tel Aviv) Region. For pricing information, visit Amazon WorkSpaces pricing page.

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] 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...
