AWS Lambda adds application performance monitoring (APM) for Java and .NET runtimes via Application Signals
AWS Lambda now supports Amazon CloudWatch Application Signals, an application performance monitoring (APM) solution, for Java and .NET managed runtimes, enabling developers and operators to easily monitor the health and performance of their serverless applications built using Lambda.
We previously announced support for Application Signals for Lambda functions for Python and Node.js managed runtimes. With this launch, you can now enable Application Signals for Lambda functions using Java 11, Java 17, Java 21, and .NET 8 Lambda managed runtimes. Once enabled, Application Signals provides pre-built, standardized dashboards for critical application metrics (such as throughput, availability, latency, faults, and errors), correlated traces, and interactions between the Lambda function and its dependencies (such as other AWS services), without requiring any manual instrumentation or code changes from developers. This gives operators a single-pane-of-glass view of the health of the application and enables them to drill down to establish the root cause of performance anomalies.
To get started, visit the Configuration tab in Lambda console and enable Application Signals for your function with just one click in the “Monitoring and operational tools” section. To learn more, visit the Lambda developer guide, Application Signals developer guide, and Application Signals for Lambda blog post.
Application Signals for Lambda is available in all commercial AWS Regions where Lambda and CloudWatch Application Signals are available. To take advantage of the new, cost-effective pricing for Application Signals, opt-in to the Transaction Search capability of Application Signals. To learn more about Application Signals pricing, visit the CloudWatch pricing page.

Amazon SES now offers tiered pricing for Virtual Deliverability Manager
Today, Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) launched a new pricing structure for Virtual Deliverability Manager (VDM), giving customers reduced charges at higher levels of usage. Customers can benefit from lower total VDM charges without the need to change account configuration, sending practices, or billing setup. This can lower customer total cost of ownership for VDM as their usage increases.
Previously, all customers using VDM paid a fixed price per message sent. Customers could turn VDM on or off whenever needed, and they paid only for what they used without any commitment or fixed monthly charges. Now, customers will see their charges per message for VDM decrease as their sending volume exceeds specific thresholds each month. After crossing each threshold in a given billing month, each subsequent message processed by VDM is charged at a lower rate. This reduces the total cost of using VDM for high volume senders.
SES supports tiered pricing for VDM in all AWS regions where SES is available.
For more information, see the documentation for the SES pricing page.

AWS CloudTrail network activity events for VPC endpoints are now generally available
With the launch of AWS CloudTrail network activity for VPC endpoints, you now have additional visibility into AWS API activity that traverses your VPC endpoints, enabling you to strengthen your data perimeter and implement better detective controls. You can enable network activity events for VPC endpoints for five AWS Services: Amazon S3, Amazon EC2, AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS), AWS Secrets Manager, and AWS CloudTrail.
With network activity events for VPC endpoints, you can view details of who is accessing resources within your network giving you greater ability to identify and respond to malicious or unauthorized actions in your data perimeter. For example, as the VPC endpoint owner, you can view logs of actions that were denied due to VPC endpoint policies or determine if an actor outside of your data perimeter is trying to access the data in your S3 buckets.
You can enable logging for network activity events logging for your VPC endpoints using the AWS CloudTrail console, AWS CLI, and SDKs. When creating a new trail or event data store or editing an existing one, you can select network activity events for supported services that you wish to monitor; you can configure to log all API calls, or log only the accessDenied calls, and you can use advanced event selectors for additional filtering controls.
Network activity events for VPC endpoints are available in all commercial AWS Regions. Refer to CloudTrail pricing to learn more about network activity events pricing and the documentation to get started.

Los Sims a los 25: cómo una serie icónica se mantuvo al día con el juego de la vida
Los Sims a los 25: cómo una serie icónica se mantuvo al día con el juego de la vida
Por: Danielle Partis.
Hace 25 años, Los Sims hizo historia con la primera entrega de una serie legendaria que se convertiría en una de las más vendidas de todos los tiempos. Pocos juegos de simulación han disfrutado del éxito y la longevidad de Los Sims, y la libertad y la creatividad para jugar con la vida como uno quiere, le han dado a la serie un atractivo casi inigualable en los años posteriores.
Electronic Arts celebra este hito y la historia de la serie a lo grande, que incluye una gran actualización de contenido gratuito de Los Sims 4 que contiene nuevas opciones de Crear un Sim, ropa, Construir/Comprar objetos y mucho más. Las festividades también incluirán el evento por tiempo limitado Blast From The Past, que permite a los jugadores ganar versiones renovadas de artículos icónicos del juego original de Los Sims a través de objetivos en el juego.
Tuvimos la oportunidad de charlar con Kevin Gibson, director de producción de Los Sims en EA. Gibson ha trabajado en roles de producción en toda la franquicia desde 2003 y tiene experiencia de primera mano de cómo ha evolucionado la serie en ese tiempo. El estudio está lleno de emoción por el cumpleaños de la franquicia, y Gibson comparte que profundizar en el pasado de la serie para redescubrir los momentos nostálgicos ha sido por demás gratificante.
«Nuestros increíbles jugadores nos han demostrado que nadie hace la vida como Los Sims, y queríamos celebrar este recorrido que hemos emprendido juntos», dice Gibson. «Hace 25 años hubo un juego con una idea que causó un gran revuelo en el E3, ¡y mira dónde estamos hoy! Hemos sido parte de varias generaciones y hemos tocado millones de vidas.
«No estaríamos aquí hoy sin eso, y queríamos tomarnos un momento para hacer una pausa y reconocer a todos nuestros jugadores, desde aquellos que estuvieron allí en el lanzamiento del E3 en 1999, hasta aquellos que son Simmers nuevos hoy y disfrutan de Los Sims 4 por primera vez. Todos los Simmers de todos los años y todas las diferentes formas de jugar a Los Sims forman parte de este recorrido de 25 años, y esta es nuestra forma de darles las gracias».
Explosión del pasado
El evento Blast From The Past es una mirada con una nostalgia particular a principios de la década de 2000, que trae ropa, muebles y decoración memorables de los primeros juegos de Los Sims a Los Sims 4. Entre los artículos se encuentran algunos de mis favoritos, como dos atrevidas sillas hinchables de neón, un pastel de tres pisos y la fabulosa pista de baile iluminada donde mi yo joven también encargó a muchos Sims que bailaran.
También han pasado muchas cosas en el mundo en 25 años: en el año 2000, Los Sims creó una simulación a imagen y semejanza de la vida real. Ahora, ese juego original sirve como una cápsula del tiempo a una vida pasada. Por ejemplo, en el primer juego, poner un teléfono con cable dentro de tu casa era una necesidad. En Los Sims 4, los Sims llevan sus propios teléfonos móviles, repletos de servicios a los que se puede acceder desde cualquier lugar, al igual que nosotros.
«Nos hemos tomado el tiempo para explorar en verdad la historia de Los Sims, volver a las raíces y jugar al juego original, así como explorar muchos de los lanzamientos de juegos anteriores para recordarnos a nosotros mismos todas las diferentes formas en que la gente juega con la vida», nos dice Gibson. «Todos en el estudio han tenido una parte diferente de la franquicia que aprecian como significativa para ellos, y la oportunidad de compartir esos momentos con nuestros jugadores como parte de la celebración del 25 cumpleaños ha sido muy divertida».
Preservar el espíritu de Los Sims
Los Sims originales eran muy divertidos, pero a menudo irreverentes, difíciles y bastante locos en los escenarios que presentaba. Sus Sims podrían perecer en accidentes extraños, sus gritos estridentes atravesarían los altavoces baratos de su PC, todo mientras otro Sim recibe una misteriosa llamada de broma sobre canoas. Aunque Los Sims ha evolucionado para dar la bienvenida a un público más amplio a lo largo de dos décadas, su espíritu es casi el mismo, y esto es algo que el equipo siempre ha querido preservar.
«Los Sims fue difícil. Tus Sims murieron, y mucho. Sin embargo, un concepto central de Los Sims era que era tu historia y el juego proporcionaba el empuje de una manera humorística», dice Gibson, «La tradición de dejar que el jugador cuente su historia, mientras el juego hurga en los bordes con humor y desafíos, ha sido un pilar clave de cómo tomamos decisiones para el juego».
Los Sims 4 continúa con ese espíritu original de satisfacer las necesidades del jugador y la historia que este cuenta, al tiempo que utiliza la comedia para mejorar la historia de formas nuevas y diferentes: tus Sims pueden morir, pueden ser fantasmas, pueden tener un romance con la Parca… o incluso convertirse en una Parca ellos mismos.
Incluso con más de una década de antigüedad, Los Sims 4 sigue sintiéndose fresco, con una hoja de ruta consistente de paquetes de contenido y actualizaciones. Los Sims como franquicia siempre ha evolucionado con el tiempo, que marca enormes avances económicos, sociales y tecnológicos dentro de sus sistemas de progresión, y eso se refleja en la reciente actualización de contenido gratuito.
«El equipo de Los Sims 4 quería dar a nuestros jugadores algo que se sintiera más en línea con las modas y tendencias actuales en cuanto a ropa y decoración», añade Gibson. «Dedicamos tiempo a hacer una revisión completa de nuestros activos en el juego, para encontrar dónde había espacio para inspirarnos en las expectativas modernas de estética y estilo que nuestros jugadores esperan como parte del nuevo contenido que queríamos agregar».
«Los Sims pueden inspirarse en la realidad, la fantasía y la ciencia ficción, el romance, la decoración del hogar, la cultura mundial, los viajes y mucho más», añade Gibson. «Siempre estamos en proceso de construir sobre esta caja de juguetes cada vez mayor de opciones y experiencias dentro de Los Sims. Además, tenemos un gran grupo de personas que están ansiosas por compartir momentos de sus experiencias vividas y ayudar a aportar matices auténticos al juego para ayudar a contar historias que los jugadores estén interesados en contar».
El equipo de Los Sims también ha seguido de cerca las peticiones y discusiones de la comunidad a lo largo de los años, y muchas de las adiciones que se han hecho a Los Sims 4 reflejan de manera directa lo que los jugadores piden, un compromiso demostrable para crear un juego para todos.
«Nuestra evolución se ha alimentado de manera constante de escuchar a nuestros jugadores», añade Gibson. «Los Sims se centra en el jugador, la historia que intenta contar, el espacio creativo que intenta construir en él y la expresión que quiere tener en el juego. Lo que más hemos evolucionado es la necesidad de cambiar y crecer para cumplir con las expectativas de nuestros jugadores de esta franquicia y para reflejar el mundo en el que todos vivimos.
«Desde el principio, siempre hemos buscado sumergir a nuestra comunidad de jugadores en esta versión diferente del mundo que conocemos, donde pueden experimentar, explorar y expresarse. A través de todos nuestros juegos y spin-offs, este compromiso central con la creatividad y la imaginación siempre se ha mantenido fiel, y detrás de todo esto hay una comunidad entusiasta e infinitamente inspiradora».
La nueva actualización de contenido gratuito de Los Sims 4 y el evento Explosión del pasado (Blast From The Past) ya están disponibles para jugar en Los Sims 4. Asegúrense de visitar el sitio web oficial para obtener más información. El juego base de Los Sims 4 también es gratuito en Xbox Series X|S y Xbox One.
