Starting today, you can replicate existing Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) objects and synchronize your buckets using the new Amazon S3 Batch Replication feature. Amazon S3 Replication supports several customer use cases. For example, you can use it to minimize latency by maintaining copies of your data in AWS Regions geographically closer to your users, to meet compliance and data sovereignty requirements, and to create additional resiliency for disaster recovery planning. S3 Replication is a fully managed, low-cost feature that replicates newly uploaded objects between buckets. The buckets can belong to the same or different accounts. Objects may be replicated to a single destination bucket or to multiple destination buckets. Destination buckets can be in different AWS Regions (Cross-Region…

Demonstrate your AWS Cloud Storage knowledge and skills with new digital badges!
Are you a cloud storage professional or an on-premises storage pro who’s curious about cloud storage? Are you interested in demonstrating your AWS Storage knowledge and skills with potential employers and your community of peers? If so, I’d like to bring to your attention the recent launch of digital badges aligned to Learning Plans for Block Storage and Object Storage on AWS Skill Builder. In this 2021 blog post by Indeed, cloud-computing is the number one in-demand skill employers are looking for. The new, verifiable, digital badges are available to everyone who scores at least 80 percent in the assessments associated with Learning Plans. The badges prove your knowledge and skills for Object Storage and/or Block Storage in the AWS…
New – Amazon EC2 X2iezn Instances Powered by the Fastest Intel Xeon Scalable CPU for Memory-Intensive Workloads
Electronic Design Automation (EDA) workloads require high computing performance and a large memory footprint. These workloads are sensitive to faster CPU performance and higher clock speeds since the faster performance allows more jobs to be completed on the lower number of cores. At AWS re:Invent 2020, we launched Amazon EC2 M5zn instances which use second-generation Intel Xeon Scalable (Cascade Lake) processors with an all-core turbo clock frequency of up to 4.5 GHz, which is the fastest of any cloud instance. Our customers have enjoyed the high single-threaded performance, high-speed networking, and balanced memory-to-vCPU ratio of EC2 M5zn instances. They have asked for instances that will leverage these features while also providing them a greater memory footprint per vCPU. Today, we…
New – Replication for Amazon Elastic File System (EFS)
Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) allows EC2 instances, AWS Lambda functions, and containers to share access to a fully-managed file system. First announced in 2015 and generally available in 2016, Amazon EFS delivers low-latency performance for a wide variety of workloads and can scale to thousands of concurrent clients or connections. Since the 2016 launch we have continued to listen and to innovate, and have added many new features and capabilities in response to your feedback. These include on-premises access via Direct Connect (2016), encryption of data at rest (2017), provisioned throughput and encryption of data in transit (2018), an infrequent access storage class (2019), IAM authorization & access points (2020), lower-cost one zone storage classes (2021), and more.…
