AWS Elastic Beanstalk launches Deployments tab with in-progress deployment logs

AWS Elastic Beanstalk now provides a Deployments tab in the environment dashboard, giving customers a consolidated view of their deployment history and real-time deployment progress with step-by-step deployment logs. Previously, customers had to wait until a deployment completed before retrieving logs, and then correlate events across multiple sources to understand what happened. With this launch, customers can view deployment status, events, and detailed logs in a single interface directly from the Elastic Beanstalk console, even while a deployment is still in progress.\n The Deployments tab displays a history of recent deployments for an environment, including application deployments, configuration updates, and environment launches. Each deployment includes a detailed view with deployment events and a new consolidated log that captures each step of the deployment process, including dependency installation, application builds, .ebextensions, platform hooks, and application startup output.

This feature is supported across all Elastic Beanstalk Linux-based platform branches. It is available in all AWS Commercial Regions and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where Elastic Beanstalk is available. For a complete list of supported Regions, see AWS Regions.

To learn more, see the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide. For additional information, visit the AWS Elastic Beanstalk product page.

AWS Private CA Connector for SCEP now supports AWS PrivateLink

AWS Private CA Connector for SCEP now supports AWS PrivateLink, allowing your clients to request certificates from within your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) without traversing the public internet. With this launch, you can create VPC endpoints to connect to your SCEP connector privately, keeping all traffic within the AWS network.\n AWS Private CA Connector for SCEP is a managed connector that enables you to use the Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) to issue certificates from AWS Private Certificate Authority (CA). SCEP is widely used for automated certificate enrollment and renewal for mobile devices, network equipment, and IoT devices. AWS PrivateLink support simplifies network connectivity by eliminating the need for internet gateways, NAT devices, or VPN connections to access your SCEP connector endpoints, while helping you meet compliance requirements that mandate private connectivity for certificate management. AWS PrivateLink support for AWS Private CA Connector for SCEP is available in all AWS Regions where the connector is available. For more information about Regional availability, see the AWS Region Table. To learn more and get started, visit the AWS Private CA Connector for SCEP documentation. For more information, please refer to the AWS PrivateLink documentation.

Amazon EC2 M8i and M8i-flex instances are now available in additional AWS Regions

Starting today, Amazon EC2 M8i and M8i-flex instances are now available in Europe (Ireland) and Europe (London) Regions. These instances are powered by custom Intel Xeon 6 processors, available only on AWS, delivering the highest performance and fastest memory bandwidth among comparable Intel processors in the cloud. The M8i and M8i-flex instances offer up to 15% better price-performance, and 2.5x more memory bandwidth compared to previous generation Intel-based instances. They deliver up to 20% better performance than M7i and M7i-flex instances, with even higher gains for specific workloads. The M8i and M8i-flex instances are up to 30% faster for PostgreSQL databases, up to 60% faster for NGINX web applications, and up to 40% faster for AI deep learning recommendation models compared to M7i and M7i-flex instances.\n M8i-flex are the easiest way to get price performance benefits for a majority of general-purpose workloads like web and application servers, microservices, small and medium data stores, virtual desktops, and enterprise applications. They offer the most common sizes, from large to 16xlarge, and are a great first choice for applications that don’t fully utilize all compute resources. M8i instances are a great choice for all general purpose workloads, especially for workloads that need the largest instance sizes or continuous high CPU usage. The SAP-certified M8i instances offer 13 sizes including 2 bare metal sizes and the new 96xlarge size for the largest applications. To get started, sign in to the AWS Management Console. For more information about the new instances, visit the M8i and M8i-flex instance page or visit the AWS News blog.

AWS Glue zero-ETL integrations with Amazon DynamoDB as the source support new configurations

AWS Glue zero-ETL now supports configurable change data capture (CDC) refresh intervals and on-demand data ingestion for integrations with Amazon DynamoDB as the source. This enhancement can help you to customize how frequently data changes are captured from your Amazon DynamoDB tables, with refresh intervals ranging from 15 minutes to 6 days, and trigger immediate data ingestion when needed. These capabilities bring zero-ETL integrations from Amazon DynamoDB sources to feature parity with zero-ETL integrations from SaaS sources, like Salesforce, SAP, and ServiceNow, ensuring consistent functionality across different source types.\n With configurable CDC refresh intervals, you can optimize your data pipeline performance by adjusting the frequency of change capture to match your specific business requirements—whether you need near real-time updates every 15 minutes or can work with longer intervals up to 6 days to reduce costs. The on-demand ingestion capability allows you to immediately capture critical data changes without waiting for the next scheduled CDC interval. This functionality is ideal for scenarios that require data to be immediately available for analytics, reporting, or downstream applications and helps strike a balance between data freshness requirements and operational efficiency. These features are available today in all AWS regions where AWS Glue zero-ETL is supported.

To get started with configuring CDC refresh intervals and on-demand ingestion for your Amazon DynamoDB integrations, see the AWS Glue User Guide. To learn more about AWS Glue zero-ETL integrations, visit the AWS Glue documentation.

AWS Backup adds logically air-gapped vault support for Amazon EKS

AWS Backup logically air-gapped vault now supports Amazon EKS. Logically air-gapped vaults are a type of AWS Backup vault that allows secure sharing of backups across accounts and AWS Organizations, supporting direct restore to reduce recovery time from a data loss event.\n You can now protect your Amazon EKS clusters in logically air-gapped vaults. A logically air-gapped vault stores immutable backup copies that are locked by default, and isolated with encryption using AWS owned keys or customer-managed keys. You can store your Amazon EKS backups in a logically air gapped vault either the same account or across other accounts and Regions. This helps reduce the risk of downtime, ensure business continuity, and meet compliance and disaster recovery requirements.

You can get started using the AWS Backup console, API, or CLI. Target Amazon EKS backups to a logically air-gapped vault by specifying it as the primary target or copy destination in your backup plan. Share the vault for recovery using AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM) or access it via Multi-party approval. Once available, you can initiate direct restore jobs from that account, eliminating the overhead of copying backups first.

AWS Backup logically air-gapped vault support for Amazon EKS is available in 24 AWS Regions. For more information and detailed regional availability, visit the AWS Backup documentation.
