Amazon SNS now supports AWS X-Ray active tracing to visualize, analyze, and debug application performance

Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS), a messaging service that provides high-throughput, push-based, many-to-many messaging between distributed systems, microservices, and event-driven serverless applications, now supports active tracing with AWS X-Ray. Customers can now view traces that flow through Amazon SNS topics to destination services, such as Amazon Simple Queue Service, AWS Lambda, and Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose, in addition to traversing the application topology in Amazon CloudWatch ServiceLens. Customers can enable AWS X-Ray active tracing using the Amazon SNS SetTopicAttributes API, Amazon SNS Management Console, or via AWS CloudFormation.

Announcing enhanced I/O multiplexing for Amazon ElastiCache for Redis

Amazon ElastiCache for Redis 7 now includes enhanced I/O multiplexing, which delivers significant improvements to throughput and latency at scale. Enhanced I/O multiplexing is ideal for throughput-bound workloads with multiple client connections, and its benefits scale with the level of workload concurrency. As an example, when using r6g.xlarge node and running 5200 concurrent clients, you can achieve up to 72% increased throughput (read and write operations per second) and up to 71% decreased P99 latency, compared with ElastiCache for Redis 6.

AWS launches AWS SAM connectors as a resource parameter

Serverless application developers can now use the new Connectors attribute available in AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) to simplify authoring connectors and help keep SAM templates readable and maintainable over time. Previously, SAM customers could only define SAM connectors as a AWS::Serverless::Connector resource. While these resources simplified granting the appropriate level of access to the resources in their application’s infrastructure, customers also wanted to define the connections needed by a resource as part of the resource itself.

AWS Config now supports 20 new resource types

AWS Config now supports 20 more resource types for services, including Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), AWS Glue, AWS IoT Core, AWS IoT TwinMaker, AWS IoT Analytics, AWS IoT SiteWise, Amazon Interactive Video Service (Amazon IVS), Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics, Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS), and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).

Amazon GameLift expands SDK support to Go and .NET 6

We are excited to announce the update to the Amazon GameLift Server SDK to include support for Go and .NET 6 to integrate with your Windows or Linux game servers. Amazon GameLift is a fully managed solution that allows you to manage and scale dedicated game servers for session-based multiplayer games. With this release, Amazon GameLift Server SDK now supports Unity 2020.3, Unreal 4.26, Go language, and custom C++ and C# engines.

AWS Control Tower provides updates to access logging and exceptions to more global services for Region Deny

Today AWS Control Tower is launching Landing Zone 3.1. A landing zone is a well-architected, multi-account AWS environment that is a starting point from which you can deploy workloads and applications. AWS Control Tower automates the setup of a new landing zone using AWS best-practices blueprints for identity, federated access, logging, monitoring, and account structure. Landing Zone 3.1 includes security best practice updates for Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) access logging and updates to exceptions in the Region Deny control.

Amazon EMR on EKS adds support for job execution retries

Today, we are introducing a new capability for Amazon EMR on EKS to increase job execution resiliency. Until now, users had to build their own custom job execution retry mechanism outside of Amazon EMR on EKS, to make sure their Spark jobs keep running in case of failure. With this feature, users can now save time and keep their business-critical and long-running streaming workloads running, by having Amazon EMR on EKS automatically re-submit jobs in case of failure.

Announcing the general availability of the AWS CRT HTTP Client in the AWS SDK for Java 2.x

The AWS Common Runtime (CRT) HTTP Client is now available in the AWS SDK for 2.x. The AWS CRT HTTP Client is the asynchronous, non-blocking HTTP client built on top of the AWS Common Runtime libraries. It is an alternative to the Netty implementation of the SdkAsyncHttpClient interface that can be used to communicate with AWS services or any HTTP servers.

AWS Lambda launches new CloudWatch metrics for asynchronous invocations

AWS Lambda has launched three new metrics AsyncEventsReceived, AsyncEventAge and AsyncEventsDropped, to monitor the performance of asynchronous event processing. Until now, Lambda customers had little visibility into the processing of asynchronous requests and had to rely on Lambda service teams to resolve any processing delays leading to inefficiencies in asynchronous event processing. With these new metrics customers have better visibility into their asynchronous invocations and can track the events sent to Lambda, monitor delays in event processing and take corrective actions if required.

Amazon EMR Serverless now supports HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC, and PCI DSS workloads

Amazon EMR Serverless is a serverless option in Amazon EMR that allows data engineers to process and analyze large datasets using popular open-source frameworks such as Apache Spark and Apache Hive without having to configure, manage, and scale clusters.

Amazon CloudFront now supports OAC with Elemental MediaStore origins

Amazon CloudFront enhanced its Origin Access Control (OAC) feature by adding support for AWS Elemental MediaStore. This enables customers to secure MediaStore origins with improved security, allowing only authorized CloudFront distributions to access them. Customers can now enable AWS Signature Version 4 (SigV4) on CloudFront requests for MediaStore origins and set when and if CloudFront should sign the requests.
