Amazon EMR Serverless introduces account-level vCPU-based service quota
Amazon EMR Serverless is a serverless option in Amazon EMR that makes it simple for data engineers and data scientists to run open-source big data analytics frameworks without configuring, managing, and scaling clusters or servers. Today we are introducing a new service quota called Max concurrent vCPUs per account. This vCPU-based quota allows you to set the maximum number of aggregate vCPUs your applications are able to scale up to within a Region.
AWS CloudFormation announces support for CloudFormation Linter (cfn-lint) in AWS Serverless Application Model Command Line Interface (AWS SAM CLI). The cfn-lint tool validates your SAM JSON/YAML template against CloudFormation-based rules, and returns diagnostic error messages. With this launch, you can use an optional parameter —lint in sam validate command to run cfn-lint validations on your SAM JSON/YAML templates.

AWS Elemental MediaTailor now available in additional regions
AWS Elemental MediaTailor is now available in the Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), and US East (Ohio) regions. You may now configure and operate MediaTailor using the console or API endpoints within these new regions.
Amazon Chime SDK now supports 250 webcam video streams
The Amazon Chime SDK now supports up to 250 webcam video streams per WebRTC session. The Amazon Chime SDK lets developers add intelligent real-time audio, video, and screen share to their web and mobile applications. Every WebRTC attendee can enable webcam video and view any combination of up to 25 webcam video streams from other attendees.
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling now gives recommendations about activating predictive scaling policy
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling now helps you easily determine whether adding a predictive scaling policy can further optimize the capacity of your Auto Scaling groups. Predictive scaling policies proactively add EC2 instances to your Auto Scaling group in anticipation of demand spikes. This results in better availability and performance for your applications that have predictable demand patterns and long initialization times. It may also help alleviate the need for costly capacity buffers that you otherwise maintain to account for demand spikes. This new recommendation feature provides prescriptive indications about the potential impact of predictive scaling on your application availability and EC2 costs, making it simpler for you to get started with predictive scaling.
EBS direct APIs are now available in new AWS Europe and Asia Pacific Regions
Starting today, customers can use Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) direct APIs in the AWS Europe (Spain), Europe (Zurich) and Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) Regions to create EBS snapshots of their block storage data regardless of where it resides, including on-premises.
Today, we are excited to announce that Amazon EMR has made it 30% faster to launch an EMR on EC2 cluster in a private subnet. Customers can get the faster cluster start-up times by simply relaunching their EMR on EC2 private subnet clusters. No further action is needed.
Announcing SKU pricing rules for AWS Billing Conductor
Starting today, customers can create SKU pricing rules in AWS Billing Conductor (ABC). An AWS SKU uniquely combines product (service code), Usage Type, and Operation for an AWS resource. Using SKU pricing rules, customers can change the rate for any resource running in their environment. For example, an AWS partner can use a SKU pricing rule to give a specific discount to their customer(s) for all c5.2xl EC2 instances running in us-east-1. Another use case could have an internal Cloud Center of Excellence team give a specific discount to their teams on EC2 (using a service-specific pricing rule for EC2) in combination with a SKU pricing rule for all EBS volumes which defaults to the public on demand rate, replicating the Savings Plans discounting method.
