Recent Announcements
Amazon Security Lake is now available in four additional Regions
Starting today, Amazon Security Lake is available in AWS Regions Canada (Central), Europe (Paris), Europe (Stockholm), and Asia Pacific (Osaka). You can now automatically centralize your security data from AWS environments, SaaS providers, on-premises environments, and cloud sources into a purpose-built data lake stored in your account.
AWS IoT ExpressLink announces Technical Specification v1.2 with BLE connectivity
Today, AWS IoT ExpressLink, a connectivity software that powers a range of hardware modules developed and offered by AWS Partners, announces the release of Technical Specification v1.2. The updated specification provides hardware manufacturers, who design and develop Internet of Things (IoT) devices, a new command set to allow host software applications communicate wirelessly using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology.
Amazon SNS now supports in-place message archiving and replay for FIFO topics
Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) First-In-First-Out (FIFO) topics now support a no-code, in-place option to store and replay your messages, without the need to provision a separate archival resource. This improves the durability of your event-driven applications, and can help you recover from downstream failure scenarios.
Amazon OpenSearch Service now supports efficient vector query filters for FAISS
Users can now benefit from more efficient query filtering with OpenSearch’s k-NN FAISS engine by using OpenSearch 2.9 on the Amazon OpenSearch Service. Previously exclusive to OpenSearch’s Lucene k-NN engine, OpenSearch’s efficient vector query filters capability intelligently evaluates optimal filtering strategies—like pre-filtering with approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) or filtering with exact k-nearest neighbor (k-NN)—to determine the best strategy to deliver accurate and low latency vector search queries. In earlier OpenSearch versions, vector queries on the FAISS engine used post-filtering techniques, which enabled filtered queries at scale, but it potentially returns less than the requested “k” number of results.
Amazon EC2 C6in instances are now available in Asia Pacific (Seoul) region
Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C6in instances are available in AWS Asia Pacific (Seoul) region. 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.
AWS Neuron adds support for Llama-2 70b model and PyTorch 2.0
AWS Neuron is the SDK for Amazon EC2 Inferentia and Trainium based instances purpose-built for generative AI. Today, with Neuron 2.15 release, we are announcing support for Llama-2 70b model training as well as PyTorch 2.0 support.
AWS X-Ray now supports W3C format trace IDs for distributed tracing
AWS X-Ray now supports W3C trace IDs generated via OpenTelemetry and other frameworks that conform to the W3C Trace Context specification, providing customers with complete, end-to-end trace visibility for faster triaging and debugging of applications.
