AWS Batch now supports price capacity optimized allocation strategy for Spot Instances

Starting today, customers can specify the price-capacity-optimized allocation strategy in AWS Batch. Previously, AWS Batch supported the capacity optimized Spot allocation strategy that is designed to optimize Spot Instance placement based on capacity availability to help reduce the likelihood that workloads are interrupted. The new price and capacity optimized allocation strategy is designed to provide a balance between price and capacity.

AWS Batch on AWS Fargate now supports Linux ARM64 and Windows x86 containers in Console

AWS Batch now supports Linux ARM64 and Windows x86 containers in AWS Fargate via AWS Batch console. This feature helps AWS Batch customers simplify the adoption of modern container technology by expanding their architecture options for scheduling Linux ARM64 and Windows x86 containers in Fargate compute environments. Support for ARM64 architecture also gives customers the benefits of Graviton instances in Fargate which can help improve price/performance over comparable x86-based instances for a variety of workloads including high performance computing.

SageMaker Studio announces pre-built docker ‘SageMaker Distribution’ for machine learning

Amazon SageMaker Studio is a fully integrated development environment (IDE) for machine learning (ML) that enables Data Scientists and ML practitioners with their end to end machine learning workflow, from preparing data to building, training, tuning, and deploying models. In May 2023, we launched SageMaker Distribution a pre-built docker image which includes the most popular libraries for machine learning as an open-source project at JupyterCon. Today, we are announcing support for SageMaker Distribution in Amazon SageMaker Studio.

Introducing Amazon EC2 M7i-flex and M7i instances

AWS announces the general availability of Amazon EC2 M7i-flex and EC2 M7i instances powered by custom 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (code-named Sapphire Rapids). These custom processors, available only on AWS, offer up to 15% better performance over comparable x86-based Intel processors utilized by other cloud providers.

AWS announces new AWS Direct Connect location in Herzliya, Israel

Today, AWS announced the opening of a new AWS Direct Connect location within the EdgeConnex Herzliya data center in Herzliya, Israel. By connecting your network to AWS at this location, you gain private, direct access to all public AWS Regions (except those in China), AWS GovCloud Regions, and AWS Local Zones.

Amazon EventBridge Scheduler adds schedule deletion after completion

Amazon EventBridge Scheduler now supports the ability to set schedules to automatically delete upon completion of the last invocation. This can be used for one-time, cron, and rate schedules with an end date.

Announcing additional Ephemeral Storage for EKS Fargate

AWS Fargate for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) now lets customers configure the size of ephemeral storage for their workloads up to a maximum of 175 GiB. This enables customers with data intensive workloads to utilize AWS Fargate for Amazon EKS. AWS Fargate for Amazon EKS removes the need to provision and manage servers, lets you specify and pay for resources per application, and improves security through application isolation by design.

Amazon VPC IP Address Manager now publishes IP Address utilization metrics for AWS resources

Amazon VPC IP Address Manager (IPAM) now supports three new CloudWatch metrics — VpcIPUsage, SubnetIPUsage, and PublicIPv4PoolIPUsage, that allow you to identify underutilized or near full capacity IP address ranges, optimizing your IP address usage on AWS. These metrics proactively track IP address usage across resources such as Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (Amazon VPCs), subnets, and Public IPv4 Pools. You can also set alarms for these metrics in Amazon CloudWatch to receive notifications when an IP address usage threshold is breached. Moreover, for a consolidated view of all IP address-related insights, these metrics are available on the IPAM Dashboard.

AWS Config now supports 19 new resource types

AWS Config now supports 19 more resource types for services, including AWS Amplify, Amazon AppIntegrations, AWS App Mesh, Amazon Athena, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Amazon CloudWatch Evidently, Amazon Forecast, AWS IoT Greengrass Version 2, AWS Ground Station, AWS Elemental MediaConnect, AWS Elemental MediaTailor, Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK), Amazon Personalize, Amazon Pinpoint, and AWS Resilience Hub.

AWS Amplify Introduces CloudWatch Logger feature for Swift and Android

We are excited to announce the launch of a new CloudWatch Logger feature with AWS Amplify, which is available now for Swift and Android developers. This feature empowers developers to log errors from the Amplify libraries to CloudWatch, enhancing the ability to detect production issues. It also enables developers to write custom logs to detect failures in different parts of their applications.

Amazon EBS announces up to 128 volume attachments per EC2 instance

Today, with the launch of M7i instances, customers can attach up to 128 EBS volumes to an EC2 instance. By comparison, previous generation M6i instances allow up to 28 EBS volume attachments to an EC2 instance. The higher volume attachment limit enables customers to increase storage density per EC2 instance, so that they can host larger applications per instance or reduce total compute cost by improving their resource utilization. With this launch, customers can also take crash-consistent snapshots for up to 128 EBS volumes attached to a single EC2 instance.

Amazon RDS for Oracle now supports replicas for Single-tenant instances

Starting today, Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) for Oracle supports read and mounted replicas for instances on the multitenant container database (CDB) architecture running in single-tenant configuration. Amazon RDS for Oracle replicas fully manage the configuration of Oracle Data Guard to create and maintain replicas in the same or different AWS Region as the primary DB instance.

Amazon EKS makes it easier to configure and use Amazon EFS for persistent shared file storage

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) now supports the Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver as an EKS add-on, making it simpler and easier to use EFS shared file storage with your EKS clusters.
