In today’s business landscape, companies strive to equip their employees with the most suitable and efficient tools to perform their jobs effectively. To achieve this goal, many companies turn to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications. This approach allows companies to optimize their workflows, enhance employee productivity, and focus their resources on core business activities rather than software development and maintenance. As the use of SaaS applications expands, there’s an increasing need for solutions that can proactively identify and address potential security threats to maintain uninterrupted business operations. Security teams spend time monitoring application usage data for threats or suspicious behavior, and they’re responsible for maintaining security oversight to meet regulatory and compliance requirements. Unfortunately, integrating SaaS applications with existing security tools requires…

AWS Week in Review Step Functions Versions and Aliases EC2 Instances with Graviton3E Processors and More June 26 2023
It’s now summer in the northern hemisphere, and you can feel it in London where I live. But let’s not get distracted by the nice weather and go through your AWS updates from the previous seven days. Last Week’s Launches Another interesting week with many announcements! Here are some that got more of my attention: AWS Step Functions – You can now use versions and aliases to maintain multiple versions of your workflows, track which version was used for each execution, and create aliases that route traffic between workflow versions. To learn more, refer to this blog post. AWS SAM – You can now simplify the way you define an AppSync GraphQL API in AWS SAM with the new a resource…
New Amazon EC2 Hpc7g Instances Powered by AWS Graviton3E Processors Optimized for High Performance Computing Workloads
At AWS re:Invent 2022, Adam Selipsky, CEO of AWS, explained high performance computing (HPC) workloads typically can either be compute-intensive, compute- and networking-intensive, or data- and memory-intensive in his keynote. Compute workloads include weather forecasting, computational fluid dynamics, and financial options pricing. To help with this, you have Amazon EC2 Hpc6a instances, which deliver up to 65 percent better price performance over comparable compute optimized x86-based instances. Other HPC workloads require modeling the performance of complex structures—things like wind turbines, concrete buildings, and industrial equipment. Without enough data and memory, these models can take days or weeks to run in a cost-effective way. The Amazon EC2 Hpc6id instance is designed to deliver leading price performance for data and memory-intensive HPC…
New Amazon EC2 C7gn Instances: Graviton3E Processors and Up To 200 Gbps Network Bandwidth
The C7gn instances that we previewed last year are now available and you can start using them today. The instances are designed for your most demanding network-intensive workloads (firewalls, virtual routers, load balancers, and so forth), data analytics, and tightly-coupled cluster computing jobs. They are powered by AWS Graviton3E processors and support up to 200 Gbps of network bandwidth. Here are the specs: Instance Name vCPUs Memory Network Bandwidth EBS Bandwidth c7gn.medium 1 2 GiB up to 25 Gbps up to 10 Gbps c7gn.large 2 4 GiB up to 30 Gbps up to 10 Gbps c7gn.xlarge 4 8 GiB up to 40 Gbps up to 10 Gbps c7gn.2xlarge 8 16 GiB up to 50 Gbps up to 10 Gbps c7gn.4xlarge…
