Amazon RDS Custom for Oracle now supports R5b and X2iedn instances
Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) Customfor Oracle now supports R5b and x2iedn instances. These instances are designed to deliver high EBS-optimized throughput and IOPS to enhance performance of Oracle database workloads that require high IO and that process large data sets in memory. Amazon RDS Custom for Oracle customers, with right-sizing, can migrate their database instances to smaller-sized R5b or x2iedn instances and still meet their workload throughput, IOPS, and memory requirements, saving on compute and database licensing costs.
AWS AppSync now supports JavaScript for all resolvers in GraphQL APIs
AWS AppSync is a managed service that makes it easier to build scalable APIs that connect applications to data. With AppSync, API developers can write resolvers to define the business logic that connects their AppSync GraphQL and Pub/Sub APIs to data. Now, developers can use JavaScript to write their unit resolvers, pipeline resolvers, and AppSync functions that are executed on the AppSync JavaScript (APPSYNC_JS) runtime.
Announcing general purpose Amazon EC2 M7a instances
AWS announces the general availability of Amazon EC2 M7a instances. M7a instances, powered by 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors (code-named Genoa) with a maximum frequency of 3.7 GHz, deliver up to 50% higher performance compared to M6a instances.
AWS Glue Studio Visual ETL adds 5 new visual transforms
AWS Glue Studio now offers 5 new visual transforms: Record matching, Remove null rows, Extract string fragments from a regular expression, Parse JSON column, and Extract JSON path.

Amazon RDS now supports M6g and R6g database instances in six additional AWS regions
Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB now supports AWS Graviton2-based M6g and R6g database instances in Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Jakarta, Melbourne, Osaka), Europe (Zurich), and Middle East (Bahrain) Regions.
Amazon RDS now supports T4g database instances in 6 additional AWS regions
Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB now supports AWS Graviton2-based T4g database instances in Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Jakarta, Melbourne, Osaka), Europe (Zurich), and Middle East (Bahrain) Regions. T4g database instances provide a baseline level of CPU performance, with the ability to burst CPU usage for as long as required. Depending on the database engine, version, and workload, T4g database instances provide up to 36% better price performance over comparable x86-based T3 database instances.
Amazon EC2 M7g and R7g instances are now available in AWS Region Asia Pacific (Singapore)
Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) M7g and R7g instances are now available in AWS Region Asia Pacific (Singapore). These instances are powered by AWS Graviton3 processors that provide up to 25% better compute performance compared to AWS Graviton2 processors, and built on top of the the AWS Nitro System, a collection of AWS designed innovations that deliver efficient, flexible, and secure cloud services with isolated multi-tenancy, private networking, and fast local storage.
Amazon EC2 D3en instances are now available in additional regions
Starting today, Amazon EC2 D3en instances, the latest generation of the dense HDD-storage instances, are available in the Europe (Frankfurt), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Tokyo) regions. D3en instances are ideal for workloads including distributed / clustered file systems, big data and analytics, and high capacity data lakes. With D3en instances, you can easily migrate from previous-generation D2 instances or on-premises infrastructure to a platform optimized for dense HDD storage workloads.
