Life is not always happy, there are difficult times. However, we can share our joys and sufferings with those we work with. The AWS Community is no exception. Jeff Barr introduced two members of the AWS community who are dealing with health issues. Farouq Mousa is an AWS Community Builder and fighting brain cancer. Allen Helton is an AWS Serverless Hero and his young daughter is fighting leukemia. Please donate to support Farauq and Olivia, Allen’s daughter to overcome their disease. Last week’s launches Here are some launches that got my attention: Amazon EC2 high memory U7i Instances – These instances with up to 32 TiB of DDR5 memory and 896 vCPUs are powered by custom fourth generation Intel Xeon…

Simplify custom contact center insights with Amazon Connect analytics data lake
Analytics are vital to the success of a contact center. Having insights into each touchpoint of the customer experience allows you to accurately measure performance and adapt to shifting business demands. While you can find common metrics in the Amazon Connect console, sometimes you need to have more details and custom requirements for reporting based on the unique needs of your business. Starting today, the Amazon Connect analytics data lake is generally available. As announced last year as preview, this new capability helps you to eliminate the need to build and maintain complex data pipelines. Amazon Connect data lake is zero-ETL capable, so no extract, transform, or load (ETL) is needed. Here’s a quick look at the Amazon Connect analytics…
AWS analytics services streamline user access to data, permissions setting, and auditing
I am pleased to announce a new use case based on trusted identity propagation, a recently introduced capability of AWS IAM Identity Center. Tableau, a commonly used business intelligence (BI) application, can now propagate end-user identity down to Amazon Redshift. This has a triple benefit. It simplifies the sign-in experience for end users. It allows data owners to define access based on real end-user identity. It allows auditors to verify data access by users. Trusted identity propagation allows applications that consume data (such as Tableau, Amazon QuickSight, Amazon Redshift Query Editor, Amazon EMR Studio, and others) to propagate the user’s identity and group memberships to the services that store and manage access to the data, such as Amazon Redshift, Amazon Athena,…
Amazon EC2 high memory U7i Instances for large in-memory databases
Announced in preview form at re:Invent 2023, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) U7i instances with up to 32 TiB of DDR5 memory and 896 vCPUs are now available. Powered by custom fourth generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (Sapphire Rapids), these high memory instances are designed to support large, in-memory databases including SAP HANA, Oracle, and SQL Server. Here are the specs: Instance Name vCPUs Memory (DDR5) EBS Bandwidth Network Bandwidth u7i-12tb.224xlarge 896 12,288 GiB 60 Gbps 100 Gbps u7in-16tb.224xlarge 896 16,384 GiB 100 Gbps 200 Gbps u7in-24tb.224xlarge 896 24,576 GiB 100 Gbps 200 Gbps u7in-32tb.224xlarge 896 32,768 GiB 100 Gbps 200 Gbps The new instances deliver the best compute price performance for large in-memory workloads, and offer the highest…
