Over the last week, our partners Acer, ASUS, Dell, Lenovo and Razer have announced new Windows 10 PCs that both consumer and commercial customers are sure to want. Modern PCs look different because they are different. They have better performance, innovative designs and new experiences.

We have a lot of modern PCs in market already from all our device partners, and it’s great to see these benefits continuing to come to life [ more… ]

AWS Lambda 함수의 VPC 기능 개선 – 함수 구동 속도 향상 및 효율적 ENI 사용 AWS Lambda 기능이 Amazon VPC 네트워크에서 작동하는 방식을 크게 개선했습니다. 오늘부터 함수 구동 성능이 향상되고 탄력적 네트워크 인터페이스(Elastic Network Interfaces)를 효율적으로 사용 가능합니다. 이러한 개선 사항은 추가 비용 없이 모든 기존 및 새로운 VPC 기능에 적용됩니다. 모든 리전에 걸쳐 향후 몇 개월 동안 점차적으로 사용 가능해 질 것입니다.AWS Lambda는 2016 년 2 월에 처음으로 VPC를 지원하여 AWS Direct Connect 링크를 사용하여 VPC 또는 온 프레미스 시스템의 리소스에 접근할 수 있습니다. 그 이후 많은 고객이 VPC 연결을 광범위하게 사용해 아래와 같은 서비스를 활용했습니다.
