Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling now offers the ability to filter out instance details from the DescribeAutoScalingGroups API with a new parameter. With IncludeInstances set to false, you can quickly access metadata and configurations about your Auto Scaling Groups without the overhead of instance details, reducing the size of the API response and improving API response time.\n The new parameter is available in all commercial AWS Regions, and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. To learn more, see the EC2 Auto Scaling API Reference.
AWS Parallel Computing Service (PCS) is now available in the AWS GovCloud (US-East, US-West) Regions
AWS Parallel Computing Service (PCS) is now available in the AWS GovCloud (US-East, US-West) Regions\n Today, AWS launches AWS Parallel Computing Service (PCS) in the AWS GovCloud (US-East, US-West) Regions, enabling you to easily build and manage High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters using the Slurm workload manager. AWS PCS is a managed service that makes it easier for you to run and scale your high performance computing (HPC) workloads and build scientific and engineering models on AWS using Slurm. You can use AWS PCS to build complete, elastic environments that integrate compute, storage, networking, and visualization tools. AWS PCS simplifies cluster operations with managed updates and built-in observability features, helping to remove the burden of maintenance. You can work in a familiar environment, focusing on your research and innovation instead of worrying about infrastructure. To get started, visit the AWS PCS page and the AWS PCS documentation.
AWS Payment Cryptography is now available in AWS Asia Pacific (Mumbai) and Asia Pacific (Osaka)
AWS Payment Cryptography has expanded its regional presence in Asia Pacific with availability in two new regions - Asia Pacific (Mumbai) and Asia Pacific (Osaka). This expansion enables customers with latency-sensitive payment applications to build, deploy or migrate into additional AWS Regions without depending on cross-region support. For customers processing payment workloads in Asia Pacific (Tokyo), the new Osaka region offers an additional option for multi-region high availability.\n AWS Payment Cryptography is a fully managed service that simplifies payment-specific cryptographic operations and key management for cloud-hosted payment applications. The service scales elastically with your business needs and is assessed as compliant with PCI PIN Security requirements, eliminating the need to maintain dedicated payment HSM instances. Organizations performing payment functions - including acquirers, payment facilitators, networks, switches, processors, and banks can now position their payment cryptographic operations closer to their cloud applications while reducing dependencies on auxiliary data centers or colocation facilities with dedicated payment HSMs. AWS Payment Cryptography is available in the following AWS Regions: US East (Ohio, N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Ireland, Frankfurt) and Asia Pacific (Singapore, Tokyo, Osaka, Mumbai). To learn more about the service, see the AWS Payment Cryptography user guide, and visit the AWS Payment Cryptography page for pricing details and availability in additional regions.
Amazon EC2 C7gd instances are now available in additional AWS Regions
Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C7gd instances with up to 3.8 TB of local NVMe-based SSD block-level storage are available in the Asia Pacific (Osaka, Jakarta) and South America (Sao Paulo) Regions.\n These Graviton3-based instances with DDR5 memory are built on the AWS Nitro System and are a great fit for applications that need access to high-speed, low latency local storage, including those that need temporary storage of data for scratch space, temporary files, and caches. They have up to 45% improved real-time NVMe storage performance than comparable Graviton2-based instances. Graviton3-based instances also use up to 60% less energy for the same performance than comparable EC2 instances, enabling you to reduce your carbon footprint in the cloud. To learn more, see Amazon C7gd Instances. To get started, see the AWS Management Console.
Amazon S3 Express One Zone now supports atomic renaming of objects with a single API call
Amazon S3 Express One Zone now supports renaming objects with the new RenameObject API. For the first time in S3, you can rename existing objects atomically (with a single operation) without any data movement.\n The RenameObject API simplifies data management in S3 directory buckets by transforming a multi-step rename operation into a single API call. You can now rename objects in S3 Express One Zone by specifying an existing object’s name as the source and the new name of the object as the destination within the same S3 directory bucket. With no data movement involved, this capability accelerates applications like log file management, media processing, and data analytics while lowering costs. For example, renaming a 1-terabyte log file can now complete in milliseconds, instead of hours, significantly accelerating applications and reducing cost. You can use the RenameObject API in the S3 Express One Zone storage class in all AWS Regions where the storage class is available. You can get started with the new capability in S3 Express One Zone using the AWS SDKs, AWS CLI, AWS Management Console, Amazon S3 API, or Mountpoint for Amazon S3 (version 1.19.0 or higher). To learn more, visit the S3 User Guide.
Valkey introduces GLIDE 2.0 with support for Go, OpenTelemetry, and pipeline batching
AWS, in partnership with Google and the Valkey community, announces general availability of General Language Independent Driver for the Enterprise (GLIDE) 2.0, the latest release of one of its official open source Valkey client libraries. Valkey is the most permissive open source alternative to Redis stewarded by the Linux Foundation, which means it will always be open source. Valkey GLIDE is a reliable, high-performance, multi-language client that supports all Valkey commands. GLIDE 2.0 brings new capabilities that expand developer support, improve observability, and optimize performance for high-throughput workloads.\n Valkey GLIDE 2.0 extends its multi-language support to Go (contributed by Google), joining Java, Python, and Node.js to provide a consistent, fully compatible API experience across all four languages—with more on the way. With this release, Valkey GLIDE now supports OpenTelemetry, an open source, vendor-neutral framework enabling developers to generate, collect, and export telemetry data and critical client-side performance insights. Additionally, GLIDE 2.0 introduces batching capabilities, reducing network overhead and latency for high-frequency use cases by allowing multiple commands to be grouped and executed as a single operation. Valkey GLIDE is compatible with versions 7.2, 8.0 and 8.1 of Valkey, as well as versions 6.2, 7.0, and 7.2 of Redis OSS. Valkey GLIDE 2.0 is available now through the Valkey repository on GitHub. For more information about Valkey’s official client libraries, visit the Valkey website.
