It is easy to create EBS Snapshots, and just as easy to either delete them manually or to use the Data Lifecycle Manager to delete them automatically in accord with your organization’s retention model. Sometimes, as it turns out, it is a bit too easy to delete snapshots, and a well-intended cleanup effort or a wayward script can sometimes go a bit overboard! New Recycle Bin In order to give you more control over the deletion process, we are launching a Recycle Bin for EBS Snapshots. As you will see in a moment, you can now set up rules to retain deleted snapshots so that you can recover them after an accidental deletion. You can think of this as a…

Introducing Karpenter – An Open-Source High-Performance Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler
Today we are announcing that Karpenter is ready for production. Karpenter is an open-source, flexible, high-performance Kubernetes cluster autoscaler built with AWS. It helps improve your application availability and cluster efficiency by rapidly launching right-sized compute resources in response to changing application load. Karpenter also provides just-in-time compute resources to meet your application’s needs and will soon automatically optimize a cluster’s compute resource footprint to reduce costs and improve performance. Before Karpenter, Kubernetes users needed to dynamically adjust the compute capacity of their clusters to support applications using Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling groups and the Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler. Nearly half of Kubernetes customers on AWS report that configuring cluster auto scaling using the Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler is challenging and restrictive.…
New – AWS Marketplace for Containers Anywhere to Deploy Your Kubernetes Cluster in Any Environment
More than 300,000 customers use AWS Marketplace today to find, subscribe to, and deploy third-party software packaged as Amazon Machine Images (AMIs), software-as-a-service (SaaS), and containers. Customers can find and subscribe containerized third-party applications from AWS Marketplace and deploy them in Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Many customers that run Kubernetes applications on AWS want to deploy them on-premises due to constraints, such as latency and data governance requirements. Also, once they have deployed the Kubernetes application, they need additional tools to govern the application through license tracking, billing, and upgrades. Today, we announce AWS Marketplace for Containers Anywhere, a set of capabilities that allows AWS customers to find, subscribe to, and…
Announcing AWS Data Exchange for APIs: Find, Subscribe to, and Use Third-party APIs with Consistent Authentication
Data is at the center of many processes and products, whether it’s a large-scale dataset used to train machine learning models, a relational database, or an API-based integration. AWS Data Exchange lets you discover, subscribe to, and use hundreds of file-based datasets via Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) offered by third parties such as Reuters, Foursquare, Change Healthcare, Vortexa, IMDb, and many more. Additionally, AWS Data Exchange for Amazon Redshift makes it even easier to ingest third-party data in your Amazon Redshift data warehouse, without any manual processing or transformation. However, in many cases your data projects require more than static datasets because you need frequent and synchronous retrieval of small amounts of information – for example, you might…
