Today we are launching I4g instances powered by AWS Graviton2 processors that deliver up to 15% better compute performance than our other storage-optimized instances. With up to 64 vCPUs, 512 GiB of memory, and 15 TB of NVMe storage, one of the six instance sizes is bound to be a great fit for your storage-intensive workloads: relational and non-relational databases, search engines, file systems, in-memory analytics, batch processing, streaming, and so forth. These workloads are generally very sensitive to I/O latency, and require plenty of random read/write IOPS along with high CPU performance. Here are the specs: Instance Name vCPUs Memory Storage Network Bandwidth EBS Bandwidth i4g.large 2 16 GiB 468 GB up to 10 Gbps up to 40 Gbps…

AWS Week in Review – AWS Notifications, Serverless event, and More – May 8, 2023
At the end of this week, I’m flying to Seattle to take part in the AWS Serverless Innovation Day. Along with many customers and colleagues from AWS, we are going to be live on May 17 at a virtual free event. During the AWS Serverless Innovation Day we will share best practices related to building event-driven applications and using serverless functions and containers. Get a calendar reminder and check the full agenda at the event site. Last Week’s Launches Here are some launches that got my attention during the previous week. New Local Zones in Auckland – AWS Local Zones allow you to deliver applications that require single-digit millisecond latency or local data processing. Starting last week, AWS Local Zones…
Introducing Bob’s Used Books—a New, Real-World, .NET Sample Application
Today, I’m happy to announce that a new open-source sample application, a fictitious used books eCommerce store we call Bob’s Used Books, is available for .NET developers working with AWS. The .NET advocacy and development teams at AWS talk to customers regularly and, during those conversations, often receive requests for more in-depth samples. Customers tell us that, while small code snippets serve well to illustrate the mechanics of an API, their development teams also need and want to make use of fuller, more real-world samples to understand better how to construct modern applications for the cloud. Today’s sample application release is in response to those requests. Bob’s Used Books is a sample eCommerce application built using ASP.NET Core version 6…
New – Set Up Your AWS Notifications in One Place
Today we are launching AWS User Notifications, a single place in the AWS console to set up and view AWS notifications across multiple AWS accounts, Regions, and services. You can centrally set up and view notifications from over 100 AWS services, such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) objects events, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance state changes, AWS Health Dashboard events, Amazon CloudWatch alarms, or AWS Support case updates in a consistent, human-friendly format. You can also configure delivery channels—email, chat, and push notifications to the AWS console mobile app, where you can receive these notifications. Alternatively, you can view notifications in the AWS Management Console by clicking the bell icon! Choose See all notifications to find…
