AWS Clean Rooms supports incremental ID mapping with AWS Entity Resolution

AWS Clean Rooms now supports incremental processing of rule-based ID mapping workflows with AWS Entity Resolution. This helps you perform real-time data synchronization across collaborators’ datasets with the privacy-enhancing controls of AWS Clean Rooms. With this launch, you can populate ID mapping tables in a Clean Rooms collaboration with only the new, modified, or deleted records since the last analysis. Data collaborators can enable incremental processing for rule-based ID mapping workflows in AWS Entity Resolution, and then update an existing ID mapping table in a collaboration. For example, a measurement provider can maintain up-to-date offline purchase data in a collaboration with an advertiser and a publisher, enabling always-on measurement of campaign outcomes, reduced costs, and maintained privacy controls for all collaboration members.\n AWS Entity Resolution is natively integrated within AWS Clean Rooms to help you and your partners more easily prepare and match related customer records. Using rule-based or data service provider-based matching can help you improve data matching for enhanced advertising campaign planning, targeting, and measurement. For more information about the AWS Regions where AWS Clean Rooms is available, see the AWS Regions table. To learn more about AWS Clean Rooms, visit AWS Clean Rooms.

Amazon EBS increases the maximum size and provisioned performance of General Purpose (gp3) volumes

Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) now supports higher volume-level limits for its General Purpose (gp3) volumes. With this update, gp3 volumes can scale up to 64 TiB in size (4X the previous 16 TiB limit), up to 80,000 IOPS (5X the previous 16,000 IOPS limit), and up to 2,000 MiB/s throughput (2X the previous 1,000 MiB/s limit).\n These expanded limits help reduce operational complexity for storage-intensive workloads by enabling gp3 volumes with larger capacity and higher performance. You can consolidate multiple striped volumes into a single gp3 volume, streamline architectures, and lower management overhead. The increased limits particularly benefit customers running containerized workloads with limited support for striping multiple volumes, applications that rely on single-volume architectures, and growing workloads approaching current gp3 limits. The pricing model remains unchanged: you pay for storage plus any additional IOPS and throughput provisioned beyond the baseline performance. The new gp3 limits are available in all AWS Commercial Regions and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where gp3 volumes are available. To get started and learn more, please visit the Amazon EBS user guide.
