AWS Marketplace launches disbursement pause notifications
AWS Marketplace launched email notification and Amazon EventBridge event that informs AWS Marketplace selling partners, including ISVs and Channel Partners, when their disbursements have been paused due to invalid bank account information. With this launch, selling partners can be alerted to these events and take immediate action to update their banking details so they receive their disbursements promptly.\n Until now, AWS Marketplace selling partners had to check disbursement status in Insights tab in AMMP. With this release, disbursement paused events that are caused by invalid bank accounts will be sent to Amazon EventBridge and AWS Marketplace sellers can subscribe to these events by defining appropriate rule patterns. Each event will contain a failure reason, payment instrument ARN that is invalid, and a link to the remediation steps. The source for these EventBridge events is aws.marketplace and the possible detail-type value is Disbursement Paused. To learn more about this new email notification, see Managing email notifications for AWS Marketplace events - AWS Marketplace and to get started with creating event rules in Amazon EventBridge, see Amazon EventBridge events - AWS Marketplace.
AWS Compute Optimizer now expands idle and rightsizing recommendations to Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling groups with scaling policies and multiple instance types. With the new recommendations, you can take actions to optimize cost and performance of these groups without requiring specialized knowledge or engineering resources to analyze them.\n Compute Optimizer analyzes EC2 Auto Scaling groups’ scaling policies, instance configurations, and utilization metrics to understand their usage patterns and identify opportunities for cost and performance optimization. For EC2 Auto Scaling groups using multiple instance types, Compute Optimizer helps identify the most cost-efficient instance types, enabling you to prioritize them in your groups. When EC2 Auto Scaling groups use scaling policies to scale based on CPU utilization, Compute Optimizer recommends optimizing the CPU-to-memory ratio by considering only instance types with identical vCPU counts. Compute Optimizer also identifies and flags EC2 Auto Scaling groups that demonstrate consistently low CPU and network usage throughout the lookback period as idle, recommending that you scale them down to save costs. This new feature is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Compute Optimizer is available, except the AWS GovCloud (US) and AWS China Regions. To learn more about the new feature updates, please visit Compute Optimizer’s product page and user guide.
Amazon EC2 C8g instances now available in additional regions
Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C8g instances are available in AWS Europe (Ireland) and AWS Europe (Spain) regions. These instances are powered by AWS Graviton4 processors and deliver up to 30% better performance compared to AWS Graviton3-based instances. Amazon EC2 C8g instances are built for general-purpose workloads, such as application servers, microservices, gaming servers, midsize data stores, and caching fleets. These instances are built on the AWS Nitro System, which offloads CPU virtualization, storage, and networking functions to dedicated hardware and software to enhance the performance and security of your workloads.\n AWS Graviton4-based Amazon EC2 instances deliver the best performance and energy efficiency for a broad range of workloads running on Amazon EC2. These instances offer larger instance sizes with up to 3x more vCPUs and memory compared to Graviton3-based Amazon C7g instances. AWS Graviton4 processors are up to 40% faster for databases, 30% faster for web applications, and 45% faster for large Java applications than AWS Graviton3 processors. C8g instances are available in 12 different instance sizes, including two bare metal sizes. They offer up to 50 Gbps enhanced networking bandwidth and up to 40 Gbps of bandwidth to the Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS). To learn more, see Amazon EC2 C8g Instances. To explore how to migrate your workloads to Graviton-based instances, see AWS Graviton Fast Start program and Porting Advisor for Graviton. To get started, see the AWS Management Console.
