Please note, this release supports the versions released by the PostgreSQL community on November 21,2024 and not the previous November 14,2024 release. These releases contain product improvements and bug fixes made by the PostgreSQL community, along with Aurora-specific security and feature improvements such as improved read replica upgrades for reduced downtime, new features for Babelfish and improved Global Database cross-region resiliency for better read availability during unplanned events.\n As a reminder, Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL 12 standard support ends on Feb 28, 2025. You can either upgrade to a newer major version or continue to run Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL 12 past the end of standard support date with RDS Extended Support. These releases are now available in all commercial AWS regions and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, except China regions. You can initiate a minor version upgrade by modifying your DB cluster. Please review the Aurora documentation to learn more. For a full feature parity list across regions, head to our feature parity page. Amazon Aurora is designed for unparalleled high performance and availability at global scale with full MySQL and PostgreSQL compatibility. It provides built-in security, continuous backups, serverless compute, up to 15 read replicas, automated multi-Region replication, and integrations with other AWS services. To get started with Amazon Aurora, take a look at our getting started page.

IPv6 compatibility for AWS Secrets Manager VPC Endpoints

AWS Secrets Manager now supports Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), Dualstack compatibility for Virtual Private Cloud through AWS PrivateLink. With this, Secrets Manager is now fully compatible for IPv6 connectivity in all commercial regions via PrivateLink networking.\n IPv6 addresses global increase in the demand for internet connected devices, without the need for NAT and is largely scalable. With simultaneous support for both IPv4 and IPv6 clients on Secrets Manager endpoints, you are able to gradually transition from IPv4 to IPv6 based systems and applications, without needing to switch all over at once. This also enables you to meet IPv6 compliance requirements. With this launch, you can choose to connect using the new protocol over both the public internet and via PrivateLink. IPv6 support for Secrets Manager is available for PrivateLink endpoints in all commercial regions, China regions, and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. Refer to Secrets Manager documentation for more details.

Amazon EC2 I7ie instances now available in AWS US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon) regions

Amazon Web Services is announcing starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) I7ie instances are now available in AWS US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon) regions. Designed for large storage I/O intensive workloads, I7ie instances are powered by 5th generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with an all-core turbo frequency of 3.2 GHz, offering up to 40% better compute performance and 20% better price performance over existing I3en instances. I7ie instances offer up to 120TB local NVMe storage density (highest in the cloud) for storage optimized instances and offer up to twice as many vCPUs and memory compared to prior generation instances. Powered by 3rd generation AWS Nitro SSDs, I7ie instances deliver up to 65% better real-time storage performance, up to 50% lower storage I/O latency, and 65% lower storage I/O latency variability compared to I3en instances.\n I7ie are high density storage optimized instances, ideal for workloads requiring fast local storage with high random read/write performance at very low latency consistency to access large data sets. These instances are available in 9 different virtual sizes and deliver up to 100Gbps of network bandwidth and 60Gbps of bandwidth for Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS).
