AWS Lambda is a Serverless computing platform that enables users to run code without having to manage servers. It provides a fully managed environment for executing your code, which includes runtime, operating system, and system libraries.

It is an isolated environment that has its own resources and dependencies, and it runs on Amazon Linux, a distribution of Linux specifically designed for cloud computing. AWS Lambda automatically patches the underlying infrastructure for your functions, so you don’t have to worry about managing operating system or runtime updates. This includes security patches for the ...

Default Encryption for new S3 Objects

This feature encrypts all new objects by default. S3 automatically applies server-side encryption (SSE-S3) for each new object. S3 buckets that do not use default encryption will use SSE-S3 as the default encryption option. Existing buckets currently using S3 default encryption will not change. You can always opt-in for different encryption options (SSE-KMS, SSE-C). Before default encryption, users had to manually verify that encryption was enabled for the S3 bucket and make sure that it stayed that way. This could be time-consuming and prone to mistakes, as many security issues were related to S3 public access. There are several benefit...
