iPad Mini im Test: Klein und leistungsfähig

Vier Jahre mussten Nutzer eines iPad Mini auf ein neues Modell warten – und werden nicht enttäuscht: Apples neues Modell ist so leistungsfähig wie ein großes Tablet und unterstützt den Apple Pencil. Das Design wurde nicht angepasst, was kein Nachteil sein muss, wie unser Test zeigt. Ein Test von Tobias Költzsch (iPad Mini, Apple)

Amplify Framework Announces New Amazon Aurora Serverless, GraphQL, and OAuth Capabilities

Starting today, Amplify Framework includes support for adding Amazon Aurora Serverless as a data source for your AWS AppSync GraphQL APIs when building mobile and web applications. This enables developers to use the Amplify CLI, part of the Amplify Framework, to generate a GraphQL API with auto-generated schema and resolvers that works with an existing Aurora Serverless database. Previously, developers had to setup an AWS Lambda function to use Aurora Serverless as a data source for a GraphQL API.
The GraphQL Transform library, included in the Amplify CLI, provides a simple abstraction that helps developers quickly create scalable web and mobile backends on AWS. This release adds features to the GraphQL Transform Library that enable developers to provide fine-grained access control across their APIs by configuring authorization rules for top level and individual fields. In addition, developers can configure access to connected fields inside a model, or those that represent relationships between data. Previously, access rules were only applied to top-level fields and there was no way to configure access to individual and connected fields.
This release also allows developers using the Amplify JavaScript library to trigger OAuth flows in their web applications with a single line of code. Developers can choose between using Amazon Cognito Hosted UI or their own UI while still having the ability to federate with User Pools and get AWS credentials to access their resources.

Amazon WorkDocs Migration Service

Amazon WorkDocs is launching a migration service to help you migrate your organization’s files to Amazon WorkDocs. This service is currently in a private preview.
The Amazon WorkDocs migration service helps you move your users’ files and your departmental file shares to Amazon WorkDocs. The service can migrate large amounts of data, from tens of gigabytes to mutiple terabytes.
Using the Amazon WorkDocs migration service portal, you can configure migration tasks, and select the source and target WorkDocs account and site to migrate data to. You can schedule the migration task to execute during a specific period as a one-time data transfer operation or have periodic syncs so as to minimize downtime for your users. The Amazon WorkDocs migration service portal provides up-to-date information and status on migration jobs including detailed reports once migration has successfully completed.
The Amazon WorkDocs migration service leverages AWS DataSync that automatically handles many of the tasks related to data transfers such as network optimization and data integrity validation, which can slow down migrations or burden your IT operations.
You can participate in the limited preview by filling out the signup form. Customers who are accepted in the preview will be notified of next steps.
