Announcing an updated console experience for Amazon GameLift

We are excited to announce the launch of the updated Amazon GameLift console experience to help customers more intuitively and efficiently manage and scale their 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, customers can more easily monitor and manage their game server instances and settings from a single interface.

Amazon S3 on Outposts now supports local S3 Replication on Outposts

Amazon S3 on Outposts now supports S3 Replication on Outposts. This extends S3’s fully managed approach to replication to S3 on Outposts buckets, helping you meet data residency and data redundancy requirements. With local S3 Replication on Outposts, you can create and configure replication rules to automatically replicate your S3 objects to another Outpost, or to another bucket on the same Outpost. During replication, your S3 on Outposts objects are always sent over your local gateway (LGW), and objects do not travel back to the AWS Region. S3 Replication on Outposts provides an easy and flexible way to automatically replicate data within a specific data perimeter to address your data redundancy and compliance requirements.

Announcing cross-account support for Amazon S3 Multi-Region Access Points

Amazon S3 Multi-Region Access Points now support datasets that are replicated across multiple AWS accounts. Cross-account Multi-Region Access Points simplify object storage access for applications that span both AWS Regions and accounts, avoiding the need for complex request routing logic in your applications. They provide a single global endpoint for your multi-region applications, and dynamically route S3 requests based on policies that you define. This helps you to more easily implement multi-region resilience, latency-based routing, and active-passive failover, even when data is stored in multiple accounts.

Introducing Mountpoint for Amazon S3, a high performance open source file client

We are pleased to announce the alpha release of Mountpoint for Amazon S3, a new open source file client that delivers high throughput access, lowering compute costs for data lakes on Amazon S3. Mountpoint for Amazon S3 is a file client that translates local file system API calls to S3 object API calls like GET and LIST. It is ideal for read-heavy data lake workloads that process petabytes of data and need Amazon S3’s high elastic throughput to scale up and down across thousands of instances.

Application Auto Scaling now supports Metric Math for Target Tracking policies

Application Auto Scaling customers can now use arithmetic operations and mathematical functions to customize the metrics used with Target Tracking policies. Target Tracking works like a thermostat - it continuously changes the capacity of the scaled resource to maintain the scaling metric at the customer-defined target level.

Amazon S3 simplifies private connectivity from on-premises networks

Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) interface endpoints for Amazon S3 now offer private DNS options that can help you more easily route S3 requests to the lowest-cost endpoint in your VPC. With private DNS for S3, your on-premises applications can use AWS PrivateLink to access S3 over an interface endpoint, while requests from your in-VPC applications access S3 using gateway endpoints. Routing requests like this helps you take advantage of the lowest-cost private network path without having to make code or configuration changes to your clients.

Introducing fine-grained access controls with AWS Lake Formation and Apache Hive on Amazon EMR

Amazon EMR is excited to announce a new capability that enables users to apply AWS Lake Formation based table and column level permissions on Amazon S3 data lake for write operations (i.e., INSERT INTO, INSERT OVERWRITE) with Apache Hive jobs submitted using Amazon EMR Steps API. This feature allows data administrators to define and enforce fine-grained table and column level security for customers accessing data via Apache Hive running on Amazon EMR.

Use S3 Object Lambda with Amazon CloudFront to tailor content for end users

Using Amazon S3 Object Lambda, you can add your own code to S3 GET, HEAD, and LIST API requests to modify data as it is returned to an application. You can now use an S3 Object Lambda Access Point alias as an origin for your Amazon CloudFront distribution to tailor or customize data to end users. For example, you can resize an image depending on the device that an end user is visiting from.

AWS Data Exchange for Amazon S3 is now generally available

AWS Data Exchange for Amazon S3 is now generally available, helping customers easily find, subscribe to, and use third-party data files for faster time to insight, storage cost optimization, simplified data licensing management, and more. This feature is intended for subscribers who want to use third-party data files directly from data providers’ Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) buckets, without needing to create or manage data copies, as well as data providers who want to offer in-place access to data hosted in their Amazon S3 buckets.
