AWS SDK for Node.js now in BitNami Cloud Tools for AWS

Amazon recently released a new AWS SDK for Node.js which provides JavaScript objects for AWS services like Amazon S3, Amazon EC2 and DynamoDB. We are glad to announce that this SDK has already been included in the BitNami Cloud Tools for AWS installers available for Windows, Linux and Mac.

You can now find this new SDK and the Node.js runtime itself  together with other useful development kits like the AWS SDK for Java and the AWS SDK for Ruby in BitNami Cloud tools. These tools allow you to manage AWS services from the command line or programmatically using your preferred development language.

In this version we also include major updates of other core components, which include features such as:

- AWS Elastic Beanstalk 2.4.0 adds EC2 Role support for log publication and support for displaying Events, Tail Logs and EB Push.

- Amazon RDS Command Line Toolkit 1.14.001 adds support for read replica status.

AWS SDK for Ruby 1.11.0 adds support for web identity federation to AWS Security Token Service. Since 1.8.0 (previous version included in BitNami cloud tools) it also adds  support for parallel scan in Amazon DynamoDB, Elastic Load Balancing support in AWS OpsWorks and support for the AWS Support API.

- AWS SDK for Java 1.4.5 adds support for web identity federation in AWS Security Token Service (STS). Since 1.3.27 (previous version included in BitNami cloud tools) a lot of new features have also been included. Now it also supports Parallel Scan in Amazon DynamoDB, Elastic Load Balancing in AWS OpsWorks, the AWS Support API, automatic endpoint management in SQS,  Amazon EC2 default virtual private clouds, Amazon Redshift, Amazon Elastic Transcode, Amazon RDS DB Instance renaming and IAM role in Amazon Elastic MapReduce.
