AWS Fault Injection Service (FIS) helps you to put chaos engineering into practice at scale. Today we are launching new scenarios that will let you demonstrate that your applications perform as intended if an AWS Availability Zone experiences a full power interruption or connectivity from one AWS region to another is lost. You can use the scenarios to conduct experiments that will build confidence that your application (whether single-region or multi-region) works as expected when something goes wrong, help you to gain a better understanding of direct and indirect dependencies, and test recovery time. After you have put your application through its paces and know that it works as expected, you can use the results of the experiment for compliance…

Zonal autoshift – Automatically shift your traffic away from Availability Zones when we detect potential issues
Today we’re launching zonal autoshift, a new capability of Amazon Route 53 Application Recovery Controller that you can enable to automatically and safely shift your workload’s traffic away from an Availability Zone when AWS identifies a potential failure affecting that Availability Zone and shift it back once the failure is resolved. When deploying resilient applications, you typically deploy your resources across multiple Availability Zones in a Region. Availability Zones are distinct groups of physical data centers at a meaningful distance apart (typically miles) to make sure that they have diverse power, connectivity, network devices, and flood plains. To help you protect against an application’s errors, like a failed deployment, an error of configuration, or an operator error, we introduced last…
IDE extension for AWS Application Composer enhances visual modern applications development with AI-generated IaC
Today, I’m happy to share the integrated development environment (IDE) extension for AWS Application Composer. Now you can use AWS Application Composer directly in your IDE to visually build modern applications and iteratively develop your infrastructure as code templates with Amazon CodeWhisperer. Announced as preview at AWS re:Invent 2022 and generally available in March 2023, Application Composer is a visual builder that makes it easier for developers to visualize, design, and iterate on an application architecture by dragging, grouping, and connecting AWS services on a visual canvas. Application Composer simplifies building modern applications by providing an easy-to-use visual drag-and-drop interface and generates IaC templates in real time. AWS Application Composer also lets you work with AWS CloudFormation resources. In September, AWS Application Composer announced…
Amazon SageMaker Studio adds web-based interface, Code Editor, flexible workspaces, and streamlines user onboarding
Today, we are announcing an improved Amazon SageMaker Studio experience! The new SageMaker Studio web-based interface loads faster and provides consistent access to your preferred integrated development environment (IDE) and SageMaker resources and tooling, irrespective of your IDE choice. In addition to JupyterLab and RStudio, SageMaker Studio now includes a fully managed Code Editor based on Code-OSS (Visual Studio Code Open Source). Both Code Editor and JupyterLab can be launched using a flexible workspace. With spaces, you can scale the compute and storage for your IDE up and down as you go, customize runtime environments, and pause-and-resume coding anytime from anywhere. You can spin up multiple such spaces, each configured with a different combination of compute, storage, and runtimes. SageMaker…
