AWS Details How to Secure npm and pip Package Updates on Amazon Linux

AWS published guidance on securing npm and pip package installations on Amazon Linux, noting that the first hours after a package is published are the riskiest window because automated scanners haven’t yet analyzed it. The post cites recent supply chain incidents affecting Node.js and Python packages that were caught and pulled within hours of publication, but only after being publicly available. AWS recommends practices to reduce exposure to just-published, not-yet-vetted packages during that gap.
