FAQ on the xz-utils backdoor (CVE-2024-3094)

continuous deployment of Golang Gin application in AWS Lambda and Amazon API Gateway with CodePipeline/CodeBuild

You can use CodePipeline and CodeBuild to create a continuous deployment/integration pipeline for serverless applications build on AWS Lambda and Amazon API Gateway. This sample application is written in Go with the Gin framework and uses the eawsy API Gateway proxy shim: https://github.com/eawsy/aws-lambda-go-net

We initially detailed our methodology in this blog post: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/continuous-deployment-for-serverless-applications/

We have used the shim technology created by eawsy to run Golang applications inside AWS Lambda (https://github.com/eawsy/aws-lambda-go-shim) and created a container that can be used with CodeBuild as part of our original pipeline template.

The container is available on DockerHub and is called sapessi/aws-lambda-go18-codebuild:latest. To use this container, simply change the Image property of the CodeBuild project environment.

The pipeline template, sample app, buildspec and SAM files are attached to this gist.

Convert AWS IAM credentials to AWS SMTP credentials

Convert AWS IAM credentials to AWS SMTP credentials

If you do, or want to, use AWS to deploy your apps, you will end up using AWS SES via SMTP when you're launching an app that sends out emails of any kind (user registrations, email notifications, etc). For example, I have used this configuration on various Ruby on Rails apps, however, it is just basic SMTP configurations and crosses over to any framework that supports SMTP sendmail.

There are two ways to go about this:

Luckily, you found this MD file and the NOT SO EASY WAY is suddenly copy-pasta... sudo yum....
