New for AWS DataSync – Move Data Between AWS and Google Cloud Storage or AWS and Microsoft Azure Files

Moving data to and from AWS Storage services can be automated and accelerated with AWS DataSync. For example, you can use DataSync to migrate data to AWS, replicate data for business continuity, and move data for analysis and processing in the cloud. You can use DataSync to transfer data to and from AWS Storage services, including Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS), and Amazon FSx. DataSync also integrates with Amazon CloudWatch and AWS CloudTrail for logging, monitoring, and alerting. Today, we added to DataSync the capability to migrate data between AWS Storage services and either Google Cloud Storage or Microsoft Azure Files. In this way, you can simplify your data processing or storage consolidation…

Street View turns 15 with a new camera and fresh features

Fifteen years ago, Street View began as a far-fetched idea from Google co-founder Larry Page to build a 360-degree map of the entire world. Fast forward to today: There are now over 220 billion Street View images from over 100 countries and territories — a new milestone — allowing people to fully experience what it’s like to be in these places right from their phone or computer. And Street View doesn’t just help you virtually explore, it’s also critical to our mapping efforts — letting you see the most up-to-date information about the world, while laying the foundation for a more immersive, intuitive map. While that’s all worth celebrating, we aren’t stopping there. Today, we’re unveiling Street View’s newest camera,…

HBD to us! Let’s celebrate with Street View adventures

Street View is turning 15, and the birthday nostalgia is hitting us hard. In 2007, we published our first Street View images of San Francisco, New York, Las Vegas, Miami and Denver. Since then, Street View cars equipped with cameras have captured and shared more than 220 billion Street View images and traveled over 10 million miles — the equivalent of circling the globe more than 400 times! We’ve also captured Street View imagery inside cultural landmarks, high up in space and deep under the ocean. To celebrate Street View’s 15th birthday, we’re sharing 15 amazing Street View collections — including three places the world’s been loving lately, four new collections (consider this our party favor to you), and Street…

New – Amazon EC2 C7g Instances, Powered by AWS Graviton3 Processors

I am excited to announce that Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C7g instances powered by the latest AWS Graviton3 processors that have been available in preview since re:Invent last year are now available for all. Let’s decompose the name C7g: the “C” instance family is designed for compute-intensive workloads. This is the 7th generation of this instance family. And the “g” means it is based on AWS Graviton, the silicon designed by AWS. These instances are the first instances to be powered by the latest generation of AWS Graviton, the Graviton3 processors. As you bring more diverse workloads to the cloud, and as your compute, storage, and networking demands increase at a rapid pace, you are asking us to…
