Enhance accuracy of pre-trained Rekognition moderation model with Custom Moderation

Amazon Rekognition content moderation is a deep learning-based feature that can detect inappropriate, unwanted, or offensive images and videos, making it easier to find and remove such content at scale. Customers across industries, such as social media, gaming, and advertising, use Rekognition’s content moderation capabilities to protect their brand reputation, and enable safe user communities. With Custom Moderation, customers can now enhance the accuracy of the moderation deep learning model on their business-specific data by training an adapter with as few as twenty annotated images in less than hour.

Amazon EC2 M6in and M6idn instances are now available in new regions

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) M6in and M6idn instances are available in AWS Regions Europe (Stockholm) and Asia Pacific (Sydney). These sixth-generation network optimized instances, powered by 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors and built on the AWS Nitro System, deliver up to 200Gbps network bandwidth, 2x more network bandwidth and up to 2x higher packet-processing performance over comparable fifth-generation instances. Customers can use M6in and M6idn instances to scale the performance and throughput of network-intensive workloads such as high-performance file systems, distributed web scale in-memory caches, caching fleets, real-time big data analytics, and Telco applications such as 5G User Plane Function (UPF).

Announcing ability to enable AWS Systems Manager by default for all EC2 instances in an organization

AWS customers now have the option to enable Systems Manager, and configure permissions for all EC2 instances in an organization that has been configured to use AWS Organizations, with a single action using Default Host Management Configuration (DHMC). This feature provides a method to help customers ensure core Systems Manager capabilities such as Patch Manager, Session Manager, and Inventory are available for all new and existing instances. DHMC is recommended for all EC2 customers, and offers a simple, scalable process to standardize the availability of System Manager tools.

Announcing Unified Settings for the AWS Management Console in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions

We are excited to launch Unified Settings for the AWS Console in the AWS GovCloud (US-West and US-East) Regions. With Unified Settings, settings will persist across devices, browsers, and services. At launch, Unified Settings supports default language, default Region, visual mode, and favorite service display. Default language displays your preferred language across the Management Console, default Region sets the AWS Region each time you sign in or visit a service console, visual mode lets you toggle between the default light mode or dark mode, and favorite service display will show services in the favorites bar with either the service icon and full name or only the service icon.

Amazon EC2 now supports setting AMIs to a disabled state

Starting today, customers can disable their unused or obsolete Amazon Machine Images (AMIs; pronounced ah-mee). Disabling an AMI changes its state to disabled, makes the AMI private if it was previously shared, and prevents any new EC2 instance launches from that disabled AMI. Customers creating, managing, and consuming AMIs at-scale can now simplify and streamline their workflows with this new capability.

Amazon EC2 C7gd, M7gd, and R7gd instances now available in additional regions

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C7gd, M7gd, and R7gd instances with up to 3.8 TB of local NVMe-based SSD block-level storage are available in Asia Pacific (Singapore) and Asia Pacific (Tokyo) regions. Additionally, C7gd instances are now available in Asia Pacific (Sydney).

Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB supports M6in, M6idn, R6in, R6idn database instances

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) now supports M6in, M6idn, R6in, and R6idn database (DB) instances for RDS for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB. These network optimized DB instances deliver up to 200Gbps network bandwidth, which is 300% more than similar sized M6i and R6i database instances. Enhanced network bandwidth makes M6in and R6in DB instances ideal for write-intensive workloads. M6idn and R6idn support local block storage with up to 7.6 TB of NVMe-based solid state disk (SSD) storage.

Deploy ML models built in SageMaker Canvas to SageMaker real-time endpoints

Amazon SageMaker Canvas now supports deploying machine learning (ML) models to real-time inferencing endpoints, allowing you take your ML models to production and drive action based on ML powered insights. SageMaker Canvas is a no-code workspace that enables analysts and citizen data scientists to generate accurate ML predictions for their business needs.
