We launched the general-purpose Amazon EC2 M6a instances at AWS re:Invent 2021 and compute-intensive C6a instances in February of this year. These instances are powered by the 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors running at frequencies up to 3.6 GHz to offer up to 35 percent better price performance versus the previous generation instances. Today, we are expanding our portfolio to include memory-optimized Amazon EC2 R6a instances featuring AMD EPYC (Milan) processors 10 percent less expensive than comparable x86 instances. R6a instances, powered by 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors are well suited for memory-intensive applications such as high-performance databases (relational databases, noSQL databases), distributed web scale in-memory caches (such as memcached, Redis), in-memory databases such as real-time big data analytics (such…

New — Detect and Resolve Issues Quickly with Log Anomaly Detection and Recommendations from Amazon DevOps Guru
Today, we are announcing a new feature, Log Anomaly Detection and Recommendations for Amazon DevOps Guru. With this feature, you can find anomalies throughout relevant logs within your app, and get targeted recommendations to resolve issues. Here’s a quick look at this feature: AWS launched DevOps Guru, a fully managed AIOps platform service, in December 2020 to make it easier for developers and operators to improve applications’ reliability and availability. DevOps Guru minimizes the time needed for issue remediation by using machine learning models based on more than 20 years of operational expertise in building, scaling, and maintaining applications for Amazon.com. You can use DevOps Guru to identify anomalies such as increased latency, error rates, and resource constraints and then…
Amazon Redshift Serverless – Now Generally Available with New Capabilities
Last year at re:Invent, we introduced the preview of Amazon Redshift Serverless, a serverless option of Amazon Redshift that lets you analyze data at any scale without having to manage data warehouse infrastructure. You just need to load and query your data, and you pay only for what you use. This allows more companies to build a modern data strategy, especially for use cases where analytics workloads are not running 24-7 and the data warehouse is not active all the time. It is also applicable to companies where the use of data expands within the organization and users in new departments want to run analytics without having to take ownership of data warehouse infrastructure. Today, I am happy to share…
