Amazon EC2 simplifies visibility into your active AMIs

Starting today, you can check when your Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) were last used to launch EC2 instances by simply describing your AMIs, enabling you to efficiently filter and track your active AMIs.

Amazon EMR Serverless introduces Shuffle-optimized disks delivering improved performance for I/O intensive workloads

Amazon EMR Serverless is a serverless option in Amazon EMR that makes it simple for data engineers and data scientists to run open-source big data analytics frameworks without configuring, managing, and scaling clusters or servers. An EMR Serverless application uses workers to execute workloads, allowing users to configure ephemeral storage per worker based on the workload’s needs. Today, we are excited to introduce Shuffle-optimized disks on Amazon EMR Serverless, offering increased storage capacity (up to 2TB) and higher IOPS delivering better performance for I/O-intensive Spark and Hive workloads.

New feature for Amazon Connect Contact Lens agent screen recording

You can now enable agent screen recording when your VDI environment is configured to allow multiple agents to connect concurrently to the same Windows instance (multi-session VDI). This makes it even easier and more cost effective for you to help agents improve their performance when using Amazon Connect in a multi-session VDI environment.

Amazon EC2 now protects your AMIs from accidental deregistration

Starting today, you can prevent Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) from accidental deregistration by marking them as protected. A protected AMI cannot be deregistered until you explicitly disable deregistration protection.

Amazon EFS increases maximum per-client throughput to 1.5 GiB/s

Amazon EFS file systems now support up to 1.5 GiB/s of throughput per client, a 3x increase over the previous limit of 500 MiB/s. With this launch, you now have a simpler way to run throughput-intensive file workloads on AWS.

Amazon Route 53 Resolver DNS Firewall now supports Domain Redirection

Starting today, you can enable Route 53 Resolver DNS Firewall to automatically skip the inspection of domains included in a domain redirection chain, such as Canonical Name (CNAME) and Delegation Name (DNAME), thus avoiding the need to explicitly specify each domain from the chain in your Route 53 DNS Firewall rules when allow-listing domains.
