AWS CodePipeline supports automatic retry on stage failure

AWS CodePipeline V2 type pipelines introduces the ability to automatically retry a stage if there is a failure in the stage. A stage fails if any action in the stage fails. To use automatic retry, set “Retry” as the result for the on failure lifecycle event of a stage, and optionally configure the flag to retry the stage from the first action or from the failed actions. When a pipeline execution fails any action in the stage, then the pipeline execution will be retried in the stage once.\n Automatic retry can be useful for a stage with actions that can experience transient errors. Instead of failing the pipeline execution, you can automatically retry the pipeline execution in the failed stage. To learn more about automatically retrying a stage on failure in your pipeline, visit our documentation. For more information about AWS CodePipeline, visit our product page. The retry stage feature is available in all regions where AWS CodePipeline is supported.

Amazon AppStream 2.0 now supports custom shared network storage

Amazon AppStream 2.0 now supports custom shared network storage as a new storage option for your Windows AppStream 2.0 users. With the launch of this feature, users can easily access and collaborate on shared files without transferring files manually.\n The shared network storage is implemented as an SMB (Server Message Block) network drive. When administrators enable and map these SMB network drives, multiple users can access the same data during their AppStream 2.0 sessions. Changes made to the shared files are automatically backed up and synchronized. Additionally, the feature provides the advantage of scalable, shared storage resources, optimizing customer storage usage and efficiency. Centralized management of access controls and permissions can enhance data security of your organization. This feature is available at no additional cost in all the AWS Regions where Amazon AppStream 2.0 is available. Users can connect to AppStream 2.0 through a web browser or a Windows client application to access their shared storage. AppStream 2.0 offers pay-as-you go pricing. To get started with AppStream 2.0, see Getting Started with Amazon AppStream 2.0. To enable this feature for your users, you must use an AppStream 2.0 image that uses AppStream 2.0 agent released on or after September 18, 2024 or your image is using Managed AppStream 2.0 image updates released on or after September 20, 2024. For more information about shared storage function, see or documentation.

Amazon EFS now supports up to 60 GiB/s (a 2x increase) of read throughput

Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) has increased the maximum filesystem read throughput to 60 GiB/s (a 2x increase).\n Amazon EFS provides serverless, fully elastic file storage that makes it simple to set up and run file workloads in the AWS cloud. In August 2024, we increased the maximum Elastic Throughput limits to 30 GiB/s read to support the growing throughput demand for AI and machine learning workloads. Now, we are further increasing the read throughput limit to 60 GiB/s, extending EFS’s simple, fully elastic, and provisioning-free experience to support throughput-intensive AI and machine learning workloads for model training, inference, financial analytics, and genomic data analysis. The increased throughput limits are immediately available for all EFS file systems using the Elastic Throughput mode. EFS file systems in the US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe (Dublin), Europe (Frankfurt), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), and Asia Pacific (Singapore) Regions now support up to 60 GiB/s read throughput. All other AWS Regions now support up to 10 GiB/s read throughput (previously 3 GiB/s). To learn more, see the Amazon EFS Documentation or create a file system using the Amazon EFS Console, API, or AWS CLI.

AWS access portal now offers streamlined sign in for AWS Console Mobile App

AWS IAM Identity Center now provides customers with streamlined first-time access to the AWS Console Mobile Application, reducing the required user actions by more than half.\n In the past, AWS IAM Identity Center customers who wanted to access the AWS Console Mobile Application were required to find and manually enter their AWS access portal sign in URL. With this release, users can scan a QR code on their AWS Access Portal page using their mobile device. An application link takes them directly to the AWS Console Mobile Application and pre-populates the sign in URL for their AWS access portal. The Console Mobile Application lets users view and manage a select set of resources to stay informed and connected with their AWS resources while on-the-go. The sign in process supports device password managers and biometrics authentication, making access to AWS resources simple, secure, and quick. IAM Identity Center is the recommended service for managing workforce access to AWS applications and multiple AWS accounts. Both the Console Mobile Application and IAM Identity Center are available to you at no additional cost. Visit the product page for more information about the Console Mobile Application. To learn more about the AWS access portal and its capabilities, see the IAM Identity Center user guide.
