BaluHOST
Block two is scaling and cost, which is auto scaling and the purchasing options that save you money.
BaluHOST
Block three is serverless and containers, which is Lambda and the container services.
BaluHOST
A short refresher before each block, then the questions, then a quick beat before we move on.
BaluHOST
Same question format as always, I read the scenario and options to you, you get a pause to commit your answer, then I give the answer and explain why it's right and why each wrong option is wrong.

BaluHOST
A quick refresher first.
BaluHOST
Serverless means no servers to manage at all.
BaluHOST
Lambda runs your code in response to events.
BaluHOST
You pay only for the compute time used.
Jamie ThingelstadHOST
I'm hoping a duet invite lands in my email soon.
Jamie ThingelstadHOST
Link five of seven, announcing AWS Lambda web functions.
Jamie ThingelstadHOST
I was super excited to see this since I've lately built a number of serverless applications and what I really wanted was to just run a node instance in Lambda.
Jamie ThingelstadHOST
Magically, this landed just in time.
Jamie ThingelstadHOST
The other amazing thing, I gave Claude a single prompt in a handful of projects and had moved four different systems to this.
Justin BrodleyHOST
Oh, it says that.
Justin BrodleyHOST
On containers or run on Lambda functions.
Justin BrodleyHOST
I mean, that's my experience with it is it does that relatively okay.
Justin BrodleyHOST
It doesn't do really complicated orchestration, but it does basic orchestration.

Justin BrodleyHOST
So, you know, the impressive numbers are as follows.
Justin BrodleyHOST
DynoADV processed over 59 trillion requests across the four-day event, peaking at 192 million requests per second, while maintaining single-digit millisecond latency, illustrating the scale of AWS-managed databases handled under extreme load.
Justin BrodleyHOST
Their serverless compute saw heavy use, with Lambda handling 2.3 trillion invocations per day and ECS Fargate launched an average of 158.3 million tasks daily, a 47.7% increase over last year, showing continued customer adoption of container and function-based architectures for variable workloads.
Justin BrodleyHOST
Security and reliability tooling scaled significantly as well, with GuardDuty monitoring 14.08 trillion log events per hour, up 59% from the year before, and AWS running over 44,000 vault injection service experiments, six times 22.5 volume to validate resilience before the event.
Artificial IntelligenceNARRATOR
Pattern to adapt on AWS the container boundary.
Artificial IntelligenceNARRATOR
Run your agent's planning loop inside an AWS Lambda function or an Amazon ECS container running on AWS Fargate, which utilizes Firecracker microVMs for hardware-level isolation.
Artificial IntelligenceNARRATOR
Zero IAM privileges.
Artificial IntelligenceNARRATOR
Give this guest agent container an IAM execution role with absolutely zero access to your databases, S3 buckets, or external APIs.
Artificial IntelligenceNARRATOR
API Gateway custom authorizers.
Artificial IntelligenceNARRATOR
API Gateway acts as the visor inspired by the academic agent visor framework.
Artificial IntelligenceNARRATOR
A custom Lambda authorizer intercepts the agent's request and checks it against rigid schema constraints.
Artificial IntelligenceNARRATOR
If the agent tries to send raw text commands or access unauthorized endpoints, the authorizer blocks the request before it ever touches your infrastructure.
Frank ContrepoisHOST
Next one, still AWS is Lambda now supports Graviton 5 Powered EC2 instances on Lambda managed instances.
Frank ContrepoisHOST
So AWS Lambda... now supports C9G, C9GD, M9G, and M9GD instances on Lambda-managed instances.
Frank ContrepoisHOST
So in theory, that should deliver up to 25% better compute performance compared to Graviton4.
Frank ContrepoisHOST
I

Frank ContrepoisHOST
Oh gosh, I've done badly the duplication
Stephen OldHOST
there.
Frank ContrepoisHOST
AWS Lambda now supports direct read configuration for Amazon S3 files.
Frank ContrepoisHOST
I think that was important because the reading for S3 is something that happens often.
Eric OstermanHOST
My guess is AWS has gotten wind of some announcement probably.
Eric OstermanHOST
And Cloudflare, you know, they're treading more and more and more on the infrastructure as a service space and not just a companion to your AWS infrastructure, but an alternative too, especially with Cloudflare workers, their acquisition of Deno and their investment in that whole runtime being competitive also with Lambda and that ecosystem.
Eric OstermanHOST
Um, it's also probably partially related to why Amazon Lambda just received the update everybody's wanted for the last 10 years, which is to run HTTP, uh, serverless, uh, apps.
Eric OstermanHOST
So yeah, my, my sneaky suspicion is that Cloudflare will probably announce something, um, around reInvent time and they are not allowed to be at reInvent anymore.
Eric OstermanHOST
Anyone, uh, have thoughts on this one?
Karl RobinsonHOST
So we have, of course, shared a selection of articles with Girish before the weekend.
Karl RobinsonHOST
And the first of those You'll be glad to hear Gerrish is about core AWS services, but actually a new feature on the AWS Lambda.
Karl RobinsonHOST
This one is announcing AWS Lambda web functions.
Karl RobinsonHOST
So John, what was it that caught your eye about this new Lambda feature?
Jon GoodallHOST
Well, I think of myself as reasonably sort of clued in and plugged into what's going on, right? In part because of this and in part just because I pay attention and I'm on various newsletters and kind of all the rest of it.

Corey QuinnHOST
It's also going to offer some cost improvements over a couple of Kinesis approaches.
Corey QuinnHOST
Announcing AWS Lambda Web Functions.
Corey QuinnHOST
That's right, Amazon Basics Vercel Functions arrives to market at least four years too late to be interesting.
Corey QuinnHOST
Note that Vercel Functions had to basically hack Lambda's implementation to achieve something similar.
Corey QuinnHOST
This would have been a fantastic release at a number of points in Lambda's history.
Corey QuinnHOST
Today, it just feels like they're getting very serious about winning the last war.
Corey QuinnHOST
Build AWS Marketplace SaaS metering with the metering agent skill.
Corey QuinnHOST
This is huge news for those of you going for the holy trifecta, the security of Azure, the uptime of GitHub, and now the billing experience of AWS.
Jesse OwenHOST
Relevant Firecracker deployments are included.
Jesse OwenHOST
The company says its managed EC2, Lambda, and Fargate services are not affected, and customers using those unaffected services need take no action.
Jesse OwenHOST
For affected self-managed hosts, the remedy is a fixed host kernel from the operating system distribution, followed by a reboot.
Jesse OwenHOST
The host kernel is the relevant layer here.
