Keep deployment packages small, and avoid errors that can occur when you install and package dependencies with your function code. A layer is a ZIP archive that contains libraries, a custom runtime, or other dependencies. .NET support for Lambda layers is enabled by the Amazon.Lambda.Tools NuGet package (.NET Core Global Tool) Allows you to create and inspect layers, and deploy layer-aware functions . Using layers enables you to pre-JIT the platform-agnostic MSIL into native machine code, significantly reducing cold-start times!

  • Assessing the Windows 8 Development Platform
    Assessing the Windows 8 Development Platform Introduction Metro Style vs. Traditional At the Build conference in September 2011, Microsoft provided Windows Applications details about their next operating system release, code name WinRT/Metro style applications differ from the traditional “Windows 8.” Leading up to this conference there has been a “Windows” look by eliminating the Windows “chrome” such fair amount of uncertainty about the future direction of the as frames, window borders, control corners, etc. in favor a full Microsoft development platform, including Microsoft .NET and screen, immersive experience. Metro style applications are Silverlight. intended to leverage asynchronous features in the UI controls Microsoft revealed that Windows 8 supports two broad and languages to provide a very “fast and fluid” interface. categories of application: traditional desktop applications and Figure 1 is an example of a traditional Windows application. the new WinRT, or “Metro” style applications. The new WinRT API and the Metro style applications it enables may represent the future of smart client development on the Windows operating system. However, it is important to understand that Microsoft stated their clear intent that all applications that run today on Windows 7 will run in the Windows 8 desktop environment. This means that applications built using Silverlight, WPF, Windows Forms, or other existing technologies will continue to run on Windows 8. WinRT is a new operating system programming interface (API), updated for modern technologies and concepts. It replaces the aging Win32 API, enabling the creation of applications that can better take advantage of modern networking, power, and user experience technologies. “Metro” is a set of user experience and interaction design guidelines that Microsoft recommends for WinRT applications.
