Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL now supports R8g database instances in additional AWS regions

AWS Graviton4-based R8g database instances are now generally available for Amazon Aurora with PostgreSQL compatibility in the AWS Canada (Central), AWS Asia Pacific (Singapore) and AWS Asia Pacific (Seoul) regions. R8g instances offer larger instance sizes, up to 48xlarge and features an 8:1 ratio of memory to vCPU, and the latest DDR5 memory. Graviton4-based instances provide up to a 40% performance improvement and up to 29% price/performance improvement for on-demand pricing over Graviton3-based instances of equivalent sizes on Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL databases, depending on database engine, version, and workload.\n AWS Graviton4 processors are the latest generation of custom-designed AWS Graviton processors built on the AWS Nitro System. R8g DB instances are available with new 24xlarge and 48xlarge sizes. With these new sizes, R8g DB instances offer up to 192 vCPU, up to 50Gbps enhanced networking bandwidth, and up to 40Gbps of bandwidth to the Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS). You can launch Graviton4 R8g database instances in the Amazon RDS Management Console or using the AWS CLI. Upgrading a database instance to Graviton4 requires a simple instance type modification. For more details, refer to the Aurora documentation. Amazon Aurora is designed for unparalleled high performance and availability at global scale with full 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.

Amazon Connect now supports copy and bulk edit of agent scheduling configuration

Amazon Connect now supports copy and bulk edit of agent scheduling configuration, making it easier to set up and maintain agent schedules. You can create new scheduling configurations by copying existing ones — for example, copy a weekday shift profile to create a weekend variant, or, copy scheduling configuration (time-zone, weekly working hours, days off, etc.) from an existing agent to multiple new hires. When bulk editing, you can select specific fields to update, such as update time-zone and start date for new hires without changing their weekly working hours. These updates reduce time spent by managers on configuration management, thus improving productivity and operational efficiency.\n This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Connect agent scheduling is available.

Amazon Connect now supports agent schedule adherence notifications

Amazon Connect now supports agent schedule adherence notifications, making it easier for you to proactively identify when agents aren’t adhering to their scheduled activities. You can define rules to automatically send email or text notifications (via EventBridge) to supervisors when agents exceed adherence thresholds. For example, if agent adherence drops below 85% in a trailing 15-minute window, supervisors can receive an email alert. These automated notifications eliminate the need for continuous dashboard monitoring and enable proactive intervention before service levels decline, improving both supervisor productivity and customer satisfaction.\n This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Connect agent scheduling is available.

Amazon EBS io2 Block Express supports China Regions

Amazon EBS io2 Block Express volumes are now available in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD.\n io2 Block Express leverage the latest generation of EBS storage server architecture designed to deliver consistent sub-millisecond latency and 99.999% durability. With a single io2 Block Express volume, you can achieve 256,000 IOPS, 4GiB/s throughput, and 64TiB storage capacity. You can also attach an io2 Block Express volume to multiple instances in the same Availability Zone, supporting shared storage fencing through NVMe reservations for improved application availability and scalability. With the lowest p99.9 I/O latency among major cloud providers, io2 Block Express is the ideal choice for the most I/O-intensive, mission-critical deployments such as SAP HANA, Oracle, SQL Server, and IBM DB2. Customers using io1 volumes can upgrade to io2 Block Express without any downtime using the ModifyVolume API to achieve 100x durability, consistent sub-millisecond latency, and significantly higher performance at the same or lower cost than io1. With io2 Block Express, you can drive up to 4x IOPS and 4x throughput at the same storage price as io1, and up to 50% cheaper IOPS cost for volumes over 32,000 IOPS. io2 Block Express is now available in all the Amazon Web Services regions. You can create and manage io2 Block Express volumes using the Amazon Web Services Management Console, Amazon Command Line Interface (CLI), or Amazon SDKs.
