AWS Graviton2-based Amazon EC2 C6g, C6gd, and M6gd are now available in additional regions
Starting today, Amazon EC2 C6g and C6gd instances are available in Asia Pacific (Osaka) region. Additionally, M6gd instances are now available in Europe (Stockholm) region. C6g and C6gd instances are ideal for compute-intensive workloads such as high performance computing (HPC), batch processing, ad serving, video encoding, gaming, scientific modelling, distributed analytics, and CPU-based machine learning inference. M6gd instances are ideal for general purpose applications such as application servers, microservices, mid-size data stores, and caching fleets. C6gd and M6gd instances offer up to 50% more NVMe storage GB/vCPU over comparable x86-based instances and are ideal for applications that need high-speed, low latency local storage.

AWS IoT Greengrass v2 updates Stream Manager to report new telemetry metrics and more
AWS IoT Greengrass is an Internet of Things (IoT) edge runtime and cloud service that helps customers build, deploy, and manage device software. We are excited to announce our version 2.7 release with the following features:\n
System Telemetry Enhancements - The Stream Manager agent component now has the ability (enabled by default) to send system telemetry metrics to Amazon EventBridge. System telemetry data is diagnostic data that can help you monitor the performance of critical operations on your AWS IoT Greengrass core devices. You can create projects and applications to retrieve, analyze, transform, and report telemetry data from your edge devices. Domain experts, such as process engineers, can use these applications to gain insights into their fleet health based on device data uploaded through Stream Manager to AWS Services such as Amazon Kinesis, Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), AWS IoT Analytics, AWS IoT SiteWise, and more. For more information, see Gathering System Telemetry section in the developer guide.
Local Deployment Improvements - The new improvements now enable AWS IoT Greengrass nucleus to send near real time deployment status updates to AWS IoT Greengrass cloud service. For instance, using the ListInstalledComponents API, customers can now observe the status of locally deployed components for a connected device.
Additional Support for Client Certificates - Certificate signed by a custom certificate authority (CA), where the CA isn’t registered with AWS IoT, is now supported. This allows customer the flexibility to use a custom certificate authority that is not registered with AWS IoT. To use this feature, you can set the new greengrassDataPlaneEndpoint configuration option to iotdata. For more information, see Use a device certificate signed by a private CA.
The new Amazon S3 condition key enables you to write policies that help you control the use of server-side encryption with customer-provided keys (SSE-C). Using Amazon S3 condition keys, you can specify conditions when granting permissions in the optional ‘Condition’ element of a bucket or an IAM policy. One such condition is to require server-side encryption (SSE) using your preferred encryption method.
