Tasks for AWS

 

The Utoolity team is pleased to present Tasks for AWS 2.8  – this release adds new tasks to deploy and operate AWS Lambda functions and event source mappings, and can optionally tag Amazon ECS Tasks. You can now create/update/delete/invoke/entitle AWS Lambda functions, and create/update/delete AWS Lambda event source mappings.

Highlights

New tasks for AWS Lambda

You can now facilitate Amazon Web Service's new event-driven computing service AWS Lambda, which runs your code in response to events and automatically manages the compute resources for you - this is enabled by two new tasks:

Optionally specify a tag when running/starting an ECS Task

This adds the new ECS Task startedBy parameter, which is an optional tag specified when a task is started:

For example if you automatically trigger a task to run a batch process job, you could apply a unique identifier for that job to your task with the startedBy parameter. You can then identify which tasks belong to that job by filtering the results of a ListTasks call with the startedBy value.

Support for Enhanced Health Reporting, version 2 platform configurations and multiple WAR files in AWS Elastic Beanstalk tasks

The available solution stacks have been updated to include the latest versions, see the resp. announcements:

Updated solution stacks are always usable manually as soon as they are made available by AWS - this simply updates the user interface to include those for convenient selection.

Support for Java and Go applications
