Amazon Lex launches support for phrase hints
Amazon Lex provides automatic speech recognition (ASR) and natural language understanding (NLU) capabilities so you can build applications and interactive voice response (IVR) solutions with engaging user experiences. Starting today, you can programmatically provide phrases as hints during a live interaction to influence the transcription of spoken input. For example, when interacting with a banking IVR, a customer might use a nickname (“Smythe’s checking”) for the destination account . You can execute business logic to identify all the payee nicknames associated with the caller’s account and supply these as hints, improving transcription of names. Better recognition drives efficient conversations and ultimately increases customer satisfaction.
Amazon EKS Anywhere curated packages are now in public preview
Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) Anywhere now allows you to enable Amazon-curated software packages that extend the core functionalities of Kubernetes on your EKS Anywhere clusters. You can install the Harbor package as a local container registry starting today, with the Emissary-Ingress package and the support for service type load balancing through MetalLB coming in the next few months. More curated packages may be added over time based on customer demand.
Amazon VPC now supports multiple IPv6 CIDR blocks
Amazon Web Services (AWS) announces the launch of multiple IPv6 classless inter-domain routing (CIDR) blocks in a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), enabling customer to attach up to 5 prefixes to their VPCs. Before today, customers could add up to 5 IPv4 CIDR blocks and 1 IPv6 block. With this new feature, customers can now use multiple blocks to build logical separation within their VPCs with independent CIDR blocks. CIDR blocks can be associated from the Amazon provided pool and/or a pool of bring-your-own IPv6 addresses.
Amazon EC2 X2idn and X2iedn instances now available in 8 additional regions
Starting today, memory optimized Amazon EC2 X2idn and X2iedn instances are available in additional regions - Asia Pacific (Seoul, Sydney), Canada (Central), Europe (London, Stockholm, Milan), South America (São Paulo) and AWS GovCloud (US-East). X2idn and X2iedn instances are designed for memory-intensive workloads and deliver improvements in performance, price performance, and cost per GiB of memory compared to previous generation X1 instances. These new instances are powered by 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (Ice Lake) and deliver up to 50% higher compute price performance than comparable X1 instances. X2idn has a 16:1 ratio of memory to vCPU and X2iedn has a 32:1 ratio, making these instances a great fit for workloads such as in-memory databases and analytics, big data processing engines, and Electronic Design Automation (EDA) workloads.
