Announcing unique place IDs for Amazon Location Service
Amazon Location Service now enables developers to retrieve known geographical locations using a unique identifier. For example, when using autocomplete functionality to help end-users complete their searches, developers can use the unique identifier of the end-user’s selection to retrieve the location in future queries. Using this unique identifier, developers can create consistent search experiences, filter search results, and display relevant search results on a map.
AWS IoT FleetWise is now generally available
AWS IoT FleetWise is now generally available to help automotive companies collect, transform, and transfer vehicle data to the cloud in near real time. Automotive companies can use the data in the cloud to extensively analyze vehicle fleet health. Insights gained allow companies to quickly identify potential maintenance issues, make in-vehicle infotainment systems smarter, or use analytics and machine learning (ML) to improve autonomous driving and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
Amazon EC2 Is4gen and Im4gn Instances are now available in Asia Pacific (Tokyo) region
Starting today, Amazon EC2 Is4gen and Im4gn instances, the latest generation storage-optimized instances, are available in Asia Pacific (Tokyo) region. Is4gen and Im4gn instances are built on the AWS Nitro System and are powered by AWS Graviton2 processors. They feature up to 30TB of storage with the new AWS Nitro SSDs that are custom-designed by AWS to maximize the storage performance of I/O intensive workloads such as SQL/NoSQL databases, search engines, distributed file systems and data analytics which continuously read and write from the SSDs in a sustained manner. AWS Nitro SSDs enable up to 60% lower latency and up to 75% reduced latency variability in Im4gn and Is4gen instances compared to the third generation of storage optimized instances. These instances maximize the number of transactions processed per second (TPS) for I/O intensive workloads such as relational databases (e.g. MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL), and NoSQL databases (KeyDB, ScyllaDB, Cassandra) which have medium-large size data sets and can benefit from high compute performance and high network throughput. They are also an ideal fit for search engines, and data analytics workloads that require very fast access to data sets on local storage.
