News For Dev-ops

As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance the security of Azure Notification Hubs, we are making an important change to the expiry time of the generated URIs. Starting from October 2024, the expiry time for the response object PnsErrorDetailsUri will be reduced from 10 days to 5 days. This means that the PnsErrorDetailsUri returned will now be valid for only 5 days and will expire thereafter. The PnsErrorDetailsUri is returned from the Get Notification Message Telemetry API, which provides additional telemetry on the finished states of outgoing push notifications. Learn more about Get Notification Message Telemetry API here . Consumers of this API are requested to take note of this change and make the necessary adjustments for backward compatibility. Please note that for the Get Platform Notification Services (PNS) Feedback API, the container URI returned will continue to have an expiry time of 1 day, as before. Thank you for choosing Azure Notification Hubs for your push notifi...

AWS Lambda now supports tagging Event Source Mappings (ESM) and Code Signing Config (CSC) resources. Tags are simple key-value pairs that customers can assign to AWS resources to easily organize, search, identify resources, and control access. Previously, customer tagging was limited to Lambda Function resources. With today's launch, customers can now use tag-based controls to manage access to ESM or CSC resources used with their Lambda functions. Customers can manage tags for ESM and CSC resources using the AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, AWS CDKs, AWS SAM, AWS CloudFormation or AWS Management Console. Lambda support for tagging ESM and CSC resources is available at no additional cost in all AWS Regions where AWS Lambda is available, except the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and the China Regions. To learn more, visit the Lambda documentation page on how to use tags on ESM  and CSC . Post Updated on September 23, 2024 at 10:27PM

Amazon now adds Content Credentials to images created using Amazon Titan Image Generator v1 and v2 to increase transparency around AI-generated content. Content Credentials are based on an open technical specification developed and maintained by the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA), a cross-industry standards development organization. C2PA metadata, similar to invisible watermarks, is included in images generated by Amazon Titan Image Generator by default. The metadata comprises of the model, the platform, and the task type used to generate the image. This inclusion allows people to easily verify the source and history (or, provenance) of images generated using Amazon Titan Image Generator, a foundation model that allows users to create realistic, studio-quality images using natural language prompts. To inspect the Content Credentials, you can drag and drop images generated using Amazon Titan Image Generator into Verify . This feature is available at no addi...

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...

One of our main goals is to help you and your team collaborate more effectively and efficiently on your software projects. That's why we are constantly improving our Version Control features, especially the ones related to the pull request workflow. Starting in Visual Studio version 17.11, you can enjoy a smoother and smarter pull request experience, from creating to reviewing to merging. You can link your Azure DevOps work items, and in both Azure DevOps and GitHub you can create draft PRs and use default templates.
