Recent Announcements
AWS Fault Injection Service announces target preview for experiments
AWS Fault Injection Service (FIS) now allows you to preview targets resources before you start an FIS experiment to verify that your experiment is properly configured. In addition to target preview, FIS APIs now also return the ARNs of experiments, experiment templates, and actions in the response so that you have the information you need to uniquely identify these resources.
Amazon S3 on Outposts reduces first-byte latencies for object API requests
Amazon S3 on Outposts now caches AWS IAM permissions locally, improving the performance of applications running on AWS Outposts. This local cache eliminates the variability in first-byte latencies that comes from authentication and authorization operations in the parent AWS Region, which improves the performance of your object API requests.
Mountpoint for Amazon S3 CSI driver now supports Bottlerocket
The Mountpoint for Amazon S3 Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver now supports Bottlerocket, a Linux-based operating system that is purpose-built for containers. With this integration, your Kubernetes applications benefit from Bottlerocket’s immutable root file system, low management overhead, and integration with AWS services, while achieving high aggregate throughput to read and write data in Amazon S3.
Amazon EC2 M6gd instances are now available in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions
Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) M6gd instances are available in the AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions. These instances are powered by AWS Graviton2 processors and are built on the AWS Nitro System, a collection of AWS designed hardware and software innovations that enables the delivery of efficient, flexible, and secure cloud services with isolated multi-tenancy, private networking, and fast local storage. These instances offer up to 25 Gbps of network bandwidth, up to 19 Gbps of bandwidth to the Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS), and up to 3.8TB of NVMe SSD local instance storage.
Amazon S3 Connector for PyTorch now supports writing checkpoints with PyTorch Lightning
The Amazon S3 Connector for PyTorch now supports saving PyTorch Lightning model checkpoints directly to Amazon S3, improving the cost and performance of your machine learning training jobs. PyTorch Lightning is an open source framework that provides a high-level interface for training with PyTorch. The Amazon S3 Connector for PyTorch automatically optimizes S3 requests to improve data loading and checkpoint performance for your training workloads. Saving PyTorch Lightning model checkpoints is up to 40% faster with the Amazon S3 Connector for PyTorch than writing to Amazon EC2 instance storage.
Amazon EFS now supports up to 20 GiB/s of throughput
Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) has increased the throughput per file system to up to 20 GiB/s of read throughput and up to 5 GiB/s of write throughput.
Automate deployment of SAP S/4HANA Foundation and S/4HANA 2023 on AWS
AWS Launch Wizard now allows you to automate deployment of SAP S/4HANA Foundation applications and SAP S/4HANA 2023. This launch expands on existing Launch Wizard capabilities that allow you to automate deployment of SAP HANA, SAP NetWeaver, SAP BW/4HANA, and SAP S/4HANA 2020, 2021 and 2022 using APIs or a console-based approach.
