New EC2 Features: Tagging, Idempotency, Filtering, Bring Your Own Keys
- necrecious 16y agoIdempotency and tagging are the big ones for me. Makes automating instance operations easier.
- pierrefar 16y agoWith all these improvements in the various bits of AWS, I keep wondering why Cloudfront is not getting a much-requested feature: gzip compression for files that can be when the browser accepts gzip. I know I'm not the only one asking/waiting for this, and the current solutions are very convoluted.
- carson 16y agoAnother feature that would be nice for Cloudfront is being able to back it with a non-s3 resource.
- jeffbarr 16y agoThese are common requests, but I will pass them along to the team anyway to guide our prioritization process.
- thezilch 16y agoIs there a defacto means for communicating these kinds of requests? And if not, I think a request for a feature like Dropbox's Votebox is in order -- https://www.dropbox.com/votebox https://www.dropbox.com/votebox.
- jeffbarr 16y agoWe don't have a formalized suggestion mechanism. You can email them to me (jbarr@amazon.com), post them in the AWS Forums, write your own blog post, or you can come work at Amazon (http://aws.amazon.com/jobs http://aws.amazon.com/jobs) and implement it yourself!
- wouterinho 16y agoGood stuff, I think tagging was long overdue. Hopfully they will release IAM (http://aws.amazon.com/iam http://aws.amazon.com/iam) to the public soon as well.
- jeffbarr 16y agoYou can use the IAM command line and APIs right now.
- wouterinho 16y agoSorry, I meant the IAM Management Console. Any chance this will be released soon?
- jeffbarr 16y agoI don't know the status of that :-)
- moe 16y agoWow, finally! Tagging was long overdue. I hope the sigh of relief going through the ranks of AWS users will be heard at Amazon HQ and motivates them to no longer hold back such trivial yet essential features for years. Automating EC2 infrastructure has just become so much easier. No more futzing with and abusing of security groups - Thank you!
