You can now create Multi-AZ FSx for ONTAP file systems in VPCs that have been shared with you by other accounts in the same AWS Organization. This highly requested feature enables a clean separation of duties between network administrators and storage administrators, and makes it possible to create storage that’s durable, highly available, and accessible from multiple VPCs. Shared VPC support Before today’s launch, you had the ability to create Single-AZ FSx for ONTAP file systems in subnets that were shared with you by another AWS account, as well as both Single – and Multi-AZ file systems in subnets that you own. With today’s launch you can now do the same for file systems in multiple Availability Zones. Multi-AZ FSx…

Announcing on-demand data replication for Amazon FSx for OpenZFS
Today we’re adding to Amazon FSx for OpenZFS the capability to send a snapshot from a file system to another file system in your account. You can trigger the copy with one single API call or CLI command, and we take care of the rest. You don’t need to use commands like rsync and monitor the state of the transfer. The service takes care of the copy on your behalf. It manages potential network interruptions and retries automatically until the transfer completes. It transfers data incrementally at block level using OpenZFS’s native send and receive capabilities. This new capability helps you to maintain agility by, for example, allowing quicker and easier creation of testing and development environments, and performance improvements…
AWS Lambda functions now scale 12 times faster when handling high-volume requests
Now AWS Lambda scales up to 12 times faster. Each synchronously invoked Lambda function now scales by 1,000 concurrent executions every 10 seconds until the aggregate concurrency across all functions reaches the account’s concurrency limit. In addition, each function within an account now scales independently from each other, no matter how the functions are invoked. These improvements come at no additional cost, and you don’t need to do any configuration in your existing functions. Building scalable and high-performing applications can be challenging with traditional architectures, often requiring over-provisioning of compute resources or complex caching solutions for peak demands and unpredictable traffic. Many developers choose Lambda because it scales on-demand when applications face unpredictable traffic. Before this update, Lambda functions could…
IAM Access Analyzer updates: Find unused access, check policies before deployment
We are launching two new features for AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) Access Analyzer today: Unused Access Analyzer – A new analyzer that continuously monitors roles and users looking for permissions that are granted but not actually used. Central security teams can take advantage of a dashboard view that will help them to find the accounts that can most benefit from a review of unused permissions, roles, and IAM users. Custom Policy Checks – Validation that newly authored policies do not grant additional (and perhaps unintended) permissions. You can exercise tighter control over your IAM policies and accelerate the process of moving AWS applications from development to production by adding automated policy reviews to your CI/CD pipelines and custom…
