Announcing sticky session routing for Amazon SageMaker Inference

Today, we are announcing the availability of sticky session routing on Amazon SageMaker Inference which helps customers improve the performance and user experience of their generative AI applications by leveraging their previously processed information. Amazon SageMaker makes it easier to deploy ML models including foundation models (FMs) to make inference requests at the best price performance for any use case.\n By enabling sticky sessions, all requests for the same session will be routed to the same instance, allowing your ML application to reuse previously processed information to reduce latency and improve user experience. This is particularly valuable when customers want to use large data payloads or have the need for seamless interactive experiences. By leveraging their previous inference requests, customers can now take advantage of this feature to build innovative state-aware AI applications on SageMaker. To do this customers will have to create a session id with their first request and then use that session id to indicate that SageMaker should route all the subsequent requests to the same instance. Sessions can also be deleted when done to free up resources for new sessions. This feature is available in all regions where SageMaker is available. You can learn more about deploying models on SageMaker here and more about this feature in our documentation.

AWS Elemental Media Services now support live AV1 encoding

The AV1 video codec is now supported in the AWS Elemental Media Services. You can use AV1 in AWS Elemental MediaLive, MediaPackage, MediaTailor, and MediaConvert to produce both live and on-demand streams with ad insertion.\n This launch enables live streaming and packaging of AV1 encoded content, preparation of AV1 VOD assets and ads, and ad insertion into AV1 encoded videos. AV1 provides a lower bitrate with a similar viewing experience when compared to HEVC and AVC, reducing both the bandwidth required to deliver live events and CDN costs. AV1 can also deliver better video quality for viewing on mobile devices and in network constrained environments. AWS Media Services enable you to transport, prepare, process, and deliver live and on-demand content in the cloud. These managed services let you build and adapt video workflows quickly, eliminate capacity planning, easily scale with growth, and benefit from pay-as-you-go pricing. Connect with other AWS services and third-party applications for live and on demand video streaming, media storage, machine learning, content protection, advertising and monetization, and more. To learn how the AV1 codec can reduce bandwidth and improve the viewing experience, read the blog post. For more information about live AV1 pricing, please review the AWS Elemental MediaLive pricing page. To learn more about the services, please visit the AWS Media Services page.

Amazon ECR announces support for dual-layer server-side encryption in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions

Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) now supports dual-layer server-side encryption in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. This capability allows you to apply two independent layers of server-side encryption to images stored in Amazon ECR. Dual-layer server-side encryption with keys stored in AWS Key Management Service (DSSE-KMS) enables you to meet stronger compliance and regulatory requirements of applying multiple layers of encryption to your container images.\n ECR supports server-side encryption of ECR images using either Amazon S3-managed encryption keys or keys stored in Amazon Key Management Service (KMS). This often meets your security requirements as it protects data at rest, however, if you operate in highly regulated environments that require rigorous security standards, you may require a second layer of encryption for your images. Now with DSSE-KMS, you can easily apply two layers of encryption and control the keys used for both layers. Once this feature is enabled, ECR automatically encrypts your images twice when pushed and decrypts twice when pulled using your encryption keys managed by Amazon Key Management Service (KMS). AWS KMS is a simple to use key management service that makes it easy for you to create, manage, and control keys by setting permissions per key and specifying key rotation schedules. DSSE-KMS with ECR is available for use in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions at an additional cost. For pricing information, visit the Amazon ECR pricing page. To learn more about all available encryption options on Amazon ECR and get started with this feature, visit our user guide.
