I deployed a new Lamdba with API Gateway, and when I tried turning on the CloudWatch logging for this API Gateway from the console:
… I got this error that I haven’t seen before:
Turns out per the steps on this page, you need to create an IAM role with API Gateway as the Trusted Entity, and attach the managed policy ‘AmazonAPIGatewayPushToCloudWatchLogs’ :
Add the ARN for the role you created to the Settings for the API you are working with here:
Done!
My 2015 MacBook Pro has recently developed a slightly bulging battery, so while I’m slightly annoyed that this means it’s the premature end of the road for my 2015 MBP 5 years after I got it new, but 5 years is still I good run for a laptop.
Before I jump all in on an order for one of the new M1 MBPs, I’m curious whether the apps I typically use are available for the M1 cpu. It’s also worth keeping in mind that just as Apple used Rosetta to bridge the gap when they transitioned from PowerPC architecture to Intel, Rosetta 2 provides that same emulation bridge to run most x86 MacOS apps on M1 if there isn’t a native version.
First up a Java JDK. I also just found this site which tells you if an app is available for M1, so I think this is going to be the quick answer for all my questions. Yes, Azul have an OpenJDK build for M1: https://doesitarm.com/app/openjdk/
Yes – if installed via installer: https://doesitarm.com/app/eclipse-ide/
Yes – native M1 builds since February: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_54#_apple-silicon
Yes – native build available since April: https://www.docker.com/blog/released-docker-desktop-for-mac-apple-silicon/
Possibly one of the only apps that may not get ported to ARM since it only support x86 based VMs and doesn’t emulate other CPUs: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=98742 . Interestingly Parallels 17 does have an M1 ARM version, and implies it will run Windows 7+ and Linux VMs, so presumably they’re doing some x86 emulation. This might be worth a look: https://www.parallels.com/
No native version, but x86 version runs under Rosetta 2: https://isapplesiliconready.com/app/Evernote
To install MS-DOS 6.22 in Virtual Box, I kept all the defaults settings for a VM type of DOS:
Attaching the first install disk image and powering on, the install starts up:
I have a number of older machines that I use on a regular basis, so I’m no stranger to the struggles of not being able to browse current websites on older machines with older browsers and the typical SSL/TLS support issues that you run into. I was surprised to see this error this week on my 2008 Mac Pro running Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan and a latest version of Chrome:
Looking at the certificate for any site not loading it looks like the certificate has expired:
I’m not seeing this on my other later/current machines though, so clearly something on these older machines is no longer getting updates. Browsing around a few other sites and seeing the same issue on many sites so it was not just limited to a single site, so I realized something else was going on. Some Googling found this article:
Following the steps to download the updated certificate from LetsEncrypt and install it into Keychain did the job.
