🚀 AWS Lambda now supports creating or updating functions using container images stored in an Amazon ECR repository in a different AWS account within GovCloud Regions. This removes the previous need to copy images into a local ECR repo and streamlines centralized image management and CI/CD workflows. Administrators must grant the Lambda resource and the Lambda service principal the necessary cross-account permissions.

🔁 This AWS blog demonstrates how to automate OIDC client secret rotation for Application Load Balancer authentication using AWS Secrets Manager, AWS Lambda, and Amazon EventBridge. The solution securely stores IdP credentials (Auth0 in the example), schedules a Lambda handler to fetch and compare tokens, and updates Secrets Manager and ALB listener rules when changes occur. It reduces manual effort, limits plaintext credential exposure, and adds monitoring via CloudWatch alarms.

🧰 AWS has added a LocalStack integration for Visual Studio Code that enables developers to test and debug serverless applications locally from the IDE. The integration connects VS Code to a LocalStack-emulated environment without manual port configuration or code changes, exposing emulated services such as AWS Lambda, Amazon SQS, Amazon API Gateway, and DynamoDB. Available through the AWS Toolkit for VS Code (v3.74.0+), a guided walkthrough installs the LocalStack CLI, creates a LocalStack profile, and lets developers switch profiles and deploy to the LocalStack environment at no additional AWS cost.
