October 2025
17 Commits • 11 Features
Oct 1, 2025October 2025 achieved meaningful progress on AWS Greengrass Lite by delivering IPC-aligned configuration capabilities, a synchronous fleet provisioning flow with PKI integration, and flexible endpoint handling. The work reduces deployment risk, enables dynamic operational configurations, and improves cross-team collaboration through clearer docs and tooling. Key enhancements include a spec-aligned GetConfiguration IPC Command with documented error handling, a fleet provisioning overhaul with synchronous flow and PKI modules, dynamic AWS IoT Core endpoint switching via socket name, new Greengrass config DB to YAML/JSON conversion tooling (including JSON array support), and a virtual subscription feature for function handlers without direct IoT Core registration. Also included were logging improvements for process exits and documentation updates to support ongoing maintenance and compliance.

Sep 1, 2025September 2025 monthly summary for aws-greengrass/aws-greengrass-lite: Delivered remote restart capability for Greengrass components and enhanced restart reliability. Key features achieved include an IPC-based RestartComponent operation with coordination to gghealthd and routing updates via ggipcd to enable remote restarts. In addition, diagnostics and reliability improvements reset the systemd failure counter after a successful IPC restart and refine error handling with explicit codes/messages and a client-facing restart status indicator. These efforts reduce downtime, improve diagnosability, and enhance resilience of Greengrass components.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025 monthly summary for aws-greengrass/aws-greengrass-lite: No new features delivered this month. Primary focus was stabilizing credential vending for tes-server by removing an unnecessary assertion in ggl_ipc_components_get_handle, which restored credential provisioning and improved client reliability. This led to reduced provisioning failures and more predictable operations for clients relying on tes-server credentials.
