Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) Snapshots Archive helps customers save up to 75% on storage costs for Amazon EBS Snapshots that they rarely access and intend to retain for more than 90 days. Amazon EBS Snapshots are incremental in nature, storing only the changes since the last snapshot. This makes them cost-effective for daily and weekly backups that need to be accessed frequently. If you have snapshots that you access every few months or years, and would like to retain them long-term for legal or compliance reasons, you can use Amazon EBS Snapshots Archive to store full, point-in-time snapshots at a lower cost than what you would incur if stored in the standard tier. You can also use Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager to create snapshots and automatically move them to EBS Snapshots Archive based on your specific policies, further reducing the need to manage complex custom scripts and the risk of having unattended storage costs.
Amazon Aurora now supports T4g instances in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions
Amazon Aurora now supports AWS Graviton2-based T4g database instances in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. T4g database instances deliver a performance improvement of up to 49% over comparable current generation x86-based database instances. You can launch these database instances when using Amazon Aurora MySQL-Compatible Edition and Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition.
AWS Batch increases compute and memory resource configurations for Fargate type jobs by 4X
AWS Batch customers can now submit Fargate type jobs to use up to 16 vCPUs, an approximately 4x increase from before. vCPUs are the primary compute resource in Fargate type Batch job. Larger vCPUs enable compute-heavy applications like machine learning inference, scientific modeling, and distributed analytics to more easily run on Fargate. In addition, customers can now provision up to 120 GiB of memory for Fargate type jobs, also a 4x increase from before. This helps their batch jobs better perform memory-intensive operations on Fargate. Larger vCPU and memory options may also make migration to serverless container compute simpler for jobs that need more compute resources and cannot be easily re-architected into smaller sized containers.
Amazon CloudWatch RUM (Real User Monitoring) adds the ability for customers to include additional customer-defined metadata attributes as key-value pairs to RUM events when instrumenting their web applications. Additionally, customers are now able to use these self defined attributes as an additional filter when slicing and dicing the data in the AWS Management Console. When combined with pre-defined metadata attributes (eg. browser, device, country) that RUM supports today, customers can see a better classification of different end user activities.
Amazon Cognito now provides user pool deletion protection
You can now activate deletion protection for your Amazon Cognito user pools. When you configure a user pool with deletion protection, the pool cannot be deleted by any user. Deletion protection is now active by default for new user pools created through the AWS Console. You can activate or deactivate deletion protection for an existing user pool in the AWS Console, the AWS Command Line Interface, and API. Deletion protection prevents you from requesting the deletion of a user pool unless you first modify the pool and deactivate deletion protection.
Amazon S3 Replication now supports SSE-C encrypted objects
Amazon S3 Replication now supports objects encrypted with server-side encryption with customer-provided keys (SSE-C). SSE-C is an encryption option that allows you to store your own encryption keys to satisfy compliance or security requirements, rather than having AWS store the keys on your behalf using SSE-S3 or SSE-KMS. Now you can automatically replicate your SSE-C encrypted objects to a secondary bucket for your data protection or multi-region resiliency needs. S3 Replication will automatically replicate newly uploaded SSE-C encrypted objects if they are eligible, as per your S3 Replication configurations. To replicate existing SSE-C objects, you can use S3 Batch Replication. To retrieve a replicated SSE-C encrypted object from S3, you supply the same key used to encrypt that object when it was initially uploaded to S3.
AWS Global Accelerator announces AddEndpoints and RemoveEndpoints APIs
AWS Global Accelerator now offers two new APIs, AddEndpoints and RemoveEndpoints, that allow you to add and remove endpoints behind your accelerator. With these new APIs, you can now configure endpoints behind your accelerators without having to provide the full list of endpoints for adding or removing endpoints. Both AddEndpoints and RemoveEndpoints APIs can accommodate up to 10 endpoints in a single API call. The new APIs help increase scalability and reduce errors when you manage your endpoint workflows with Global Accelerator. You can continue to use the AddEndpointGroup and RemoveEndpointGroup APIs to add and remove endpoint groups, and the DescribeEndpointGroup API to describe all endpoints behind an accelerator.
