Amazon SageMaker Autopilot experiments are now up to 2x faster

Today, we’re pleased to announce that Amazon SageMaker Autopilot experiments run up to 2x faster to generate ML models with high model performance. Amazon SageMaker Autopilot is a low-code machine learning (ML) product that automatically builds, trains, and tunes the best ML models based on your data while allowing you to maintain full control and visibility. However, as dataset sizes grow, training and tuning models can become computationally expensive.

Amazon RDS for MariaDB supports new minor versions 10.6.8, 10.5.16, 10.4.25, 10.3.35, 10.2.44

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for MariaDB now supports MariaDB minor versions 10.6.8, 10.5.16, 10.4.25, 10.3.35 and 10.2.44. We recommend that you upgrade to the latest minor versions to fix known security vulnerabilities in prior versions of MariaDB, and, to benefit from the numerous bug fixes, performance improvements, and new functionality added by the MariaDB community.

Announcing Heterogeneous Clusters for Amazon SageMaker model training

Amazon SageMaker model training now supports heterogeneous clusters, which enables launching training jobs that use multiple instance types in a single job. This new capability can improve your training cost by running different parts of the model training on the most suitable instance type. For example, we recently trained a ResNet-50 computer vision model on a heterogeneous cluster with ml.g5.xl and ml.c5n.2xl instances. This training job resulted in 13% lower cost than training the same model on a cluster with only ml.g5.xl instances with the same accuracy.

Amazon EC2 I4i Instances are now available in nine additional regions

Starting today, Amazon EC2 I4i Instances are available in additional Amazon Web Services (AWS) Regions - US West (N. California), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt, London, Paris). Designed for storage I/O intensive workloads, I4i instances are powered by 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (code named Ice Lake) with an all-core turbo frequency of 3.5 GHz, offer up to 30% better compute price performance over I3 instances, and always-on memory encryption using Intel Total Memory Encryption (TME).
