New Amazon EC2 Instance Types In the Works – C7gn, R7iz, and Hpc7g

We are getting ready to launch three new Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance types and I am happy to be able to give you a sneak peek at them today. C7gn Instances are designed for your most demanding network-intensive workloads: network virtual appliances (firewalls, virtual routers, load balancers, and so forth), data analytics, and tightly-coupled cluster computing jobs. They are powered by AWS Graviton3E processors and will support up to 200 Gbps of network bandwidth, along with 50% higher packet processing performance. The c7gn instances will be available in multiple sizes with up to 64 vCPUs and 128 GiB of memory. We are launching the preview today and you can Sign Up Today to join in. Hpc7g Instances…

New – Failover Controls for Amazon S3 Multi-Region Access Points

We launched Amazon S3 Multi-Region Access Points to give you a global endpoint that spans S3 buckets in multiple AWS Regions. With S3 Multi-Region Access Points, you can build multi-region applications with the same simple architecture used in a single Region. This cool and powerful feature uses AWS Global Accelerator to monitor network congestion and connectivity, and to route traffic to the closest copy of your data. In the event that connectivity between a client and a bucket in a particular Region is lost, the Multi-Region Access Point will automatically route all traffic to the closest bucket (synchronized via S3 Replication) in another Region. In addition to the use case that I just described, customers have told us that they…

Automated Data Discovery for Amazon Macie

At AWS, security is our first priority. The security of the infrastructure itself, but also the security of your data. We give you access to services to manage identities and access, to protect the network and your applications, to detect suspicious activities, to protect your data, and to report on and monitor your compliance status. Amazon Macie is a data security service that discovers sensitive data using machine learning and pattern matching and…
