AWS announces centralized logging support for Windows containers on Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS
AWS announces the availability of AWS Fluent Bit container images for Windows Server on Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS, to help customers easily process and forward their container logs to various AWS and third-party destinations, such as Amazon CloudWatch, Amazon S3, Amazon Kineses Data Firehose, Datadog, and Splunk. This capability helps customers to centrally view, query, and manage their logs without needing to implement or manage a custom logging solution or agents to extract logs from their Windows containers. With this launch, customers have a common mechanism to process and route their logs across ECS and EKS for both Linux and Windows workloads. For more details about the supported Windows versions and the image tags for Fluent Bit, visit the public github repository here.
AWS announces native AOT tooling support for .NET applications on AWS Lambda

With this release, customers can send up to 200M active metrics to a single workspace after filing a limit increase, and can create many workspaces per account, enabling the storage and analysis of billions of Prometheus metrics. To get started, customers can create an Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus workspace and increase their workspace active series limits by filing a limit increase in AWS Support Center or AWS Service Quotas.
Amazon RDS events now include attributes for filtering with Amazon SNS
Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) now supports the delivery of message attributes, which provide structured metadata about a message. RDS event attributes are separate from the message, but are sent with the message body.

Amazon HealthLake announces enhanced analytics feature
Amazon HealthLake announces new analytics capabilities, making it easier for customers to query, visualize, and build machine learning models on their HealthLake data. With this launch, HealthLake transforms customer data into an analytics-ready format in AWS Lake Formation in near real-time. This removes the need for customers to execute complex data exports and data transformations. Now customers can simply focus on querying the data with SQL using Amazon Athena, building visualizations using Amazon QuickSight or other third party tools, and using this data to build ML models with Amazon SageMaker.
AWS Nitro Enclaves is now available in Asia Pacific (Osaka) and Asia Pacific (Jakarta) regions
Starting today, you can use AWS Nitro Enclaves in Asia Pacific (Osaka) and Asia Pacific (Jakarta) regions.
Amazon S3 Glacier improves restore throughput by up to 10x when retrieving large volumes of archived data. The increased throughput automatically applies to all standard and bulk retrievals from the Amazon S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval and Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive storage classes, and is available at no additional cost. With higher restore throughput, applications can now process archived data faster.
Starting today, Amazon EC2 High Memory instances with 3TiB (u-3tb1.56xlarge) of memory are now available in US East (Ohio). Instances with 6TiB of memory (u-6tb1.56xlarge, u-6tb1.112xlarge) are now available in Europe (Milan), instances with 18TiB of memory (u-18tb1.112xlarge) are now available in Europe (Ireland), and instances with 24TiB of memory (u-24tb1.112xlarge) are now available in US East (N. Virginia) and AWS GovCloud (US-West). This launch also includes support for On Demand, Savings Plan, Reserved Instance, and 1-year Dedicated Host Reservation purchase options for instances with 18TiB and 24TiB of memory which were previously only available with 3-year Dedicated Host Reservations.
Introducing Amazon HealthLake Imaging preview
Amazon HealthLake Imaging is a new HIPAA-eligible capability now in preview that enables healthcare providers and their software partners to easily store, access, and analyze medical images at petabyte scale. With HealthLake Imaging, healthcare providers and their software partners can run their medical imaging applications in the cloud to increase scale while also reducing infrastructure costs.
Amazon RDS for SQL Server now supports a linked server to Oracle
Amazon RDS for SQL Server now supports a linked server to Oracle database. From your RDS for SQL Server instance, you can use linked servers to access external Oracle databases to read data and execute SQL commands. If you have existing solutions that use linked servers to integrate Oracle databases, you can now migrate your SQL Server workloads directly to Amazon RDS.
Companies using the Amazon Connect Customer Profiles APIs for custom agent applications and automated interactions (e.g., IVR) can now search for profiles using multiple search terms, making it easier to find the right profile. Using the enhanced SearchProfiles API, customers can search for profiles using up to 5 terms to narrow down or expand search results. For example, when dealing with common names, you can narrow your search results to one profile by searching for profiles that match more than one term such as phone number, and name. As another example, when uncertain on the search term that matches a specific profile, you can expand search results to all the profiles matching any of the terms provided such as phone number, name, or social security number.
Amazon EBS direct APIs are now available in the AWS Middle East (UAE) region
Today, we are announcing the availability of EBS direct APIs in the AWS Middle East (UAE) region.
Concurrency scaling for write workloads is now generally available for Amazon Redshift
Amazon Redshift concurrency scaling is leveraged by thousands of customers to support virtually unlimited concurrent users and queries, and meet their SLAs for BI reports, dashboards and other analytics workloads.
