Cloudflare introduces Encrypted SNI, AWS has a number of new Aurora features, and Azure comes out with a service to let you build your VM Images.

Once again I have some catching up to do, and as usual that means I'll first focus on AWS announcements. Two very powerful new tools were released with CloudFormation Macros and the Session Manager. In addition Fargate now supports scheduled tasks.

You can now use Secure String values from the Parameter Store in CloudFormation and ECS supports Docker volumes. And Twitter limits the abilities of third-party clients.

A late and limited weekly note, focused only on the general availability of Serverless Aurora for MySQL.

Istio reaches 1.0 and AWS releases the AWS CDK.

A catch up of recent AWS releases: Lambda SQS event source, ALB redirects, Application Auto Scaling, and Fargate's release in Sydney.

AKS is now generally available, ECS has daemon scheduling, and Docker for Desktop is going to have a way to build containers without writing Dockerfiles. In the serverless world AWS now has private endpoints for their API Gateway.

Last week was Apple's WWDC, but Microsoft got most of the attention with their acquisition of GitHub while AWS released EKS.

Amazon released their graph database Neptune as well as a way to authenticate using ALBs while the CNCF decided to adopt Helm.

AWS CodeBuild supports Windows builds, Sumerian was released, and Atlassian gave us Escalator.

AWS introduced Aurora Backtrack and a new CLI for Serverless apps, while GitHub comes out with the Checks API.

With two major conferences in a single week, Microsoft's Build and Google IO, there were a lot of announcements.

Last week was Kubecon Europe, and that means a lot of announcements. Most of which I'll ignore in this note, but I'll mention the Operator Framework and gVisor. In addition, Stack Overflow released a Teams version and AWS CodeBuild supports local builds.

Another container focused note, with the general availability of Azure Container Instances, a new free security scanner by Aqua, and Netflix open sourcing Titus, their container management tool.

Azure Sphere is announced for IoT security; Docker EE 2.0 is released; and there are a couple of interesting new tools for Kubernetes.
