New – Amazon EC2 C7a Instances Powered By 4th Gen AMD EPYC Processors for Compute Optimized Workloads

We launched the compute optimized Amazon EC2 C6a instances in February 2022 powered by 3rd Gen AMD EPYC (Milan) processors, running at frequencies up to 3.6 GHz. Today, we’re announcing the general availability of new, compute optimized Amazon EC2 C7a instances, powered by the 4th Gen AMD EPYC (Genoa) processors with a maximum frequency of 3.7 GHz, which offer up to 50 percent higher performance compared to C6a instances. You can use this increased performance to process data faster, consolidate workloads, and lower the cost of ownership. C7a instances offer up to 50 percent higher performance compared to C6a instances. These instances are ideal for running compute-intensive workloads such as high-performance web servers, batch processing, ad serving, machine learning, multiplayer…

Amazon DataZone Now Generally Available – Collaborate on Data Projects across Organizational Boundaries

Today, we’re announcing the general availability of Amazon DataZone, a new data management service to catalog, discover, analyze, share, and govern data between data producers and consumers in your organization. At AWS re:Invent 2022, we preannounced Amazon DataZone, and in March 2023, we previewed it publicly. During the keynote of the last re:Invent, Swami Sivasubramanian, vice president of Databases, Analytics, and Machine Learning at AWS said “I have had the benefit of being an early customer of DataZone to run the AWS weekly business review meeting where we assemble data from our sales pipeline and revenue projections to inform our business strategy.” During the keynote, a demo led by Shikha Verma, head of product for Amazon DataZone, demonstrated how organizations…
