AWS IoT FleetWise Now Generally Available – Easily Collect Vehicle Data and Send to the Cloud

Today we announce the general availability of AWS IoT FleetWise, a fully managed AWS service that makes it easier to collect, transform, and transfer vehicle data to the cloud. Last AWS re:Invent 2021, we previewed AWS IoT FleetWise, heard customer feedback, and improved features for various use cases of near-real-time vehicle data processing. With AWS IoT FleetWise, automakers, fleet operators, and automotive suppliers can take the complex variability out of collecting data from vehicle fleets at scale. You can access standardized fleet-wide vehicle data and avoid developing custom data collection systems, or you can integrate AWS IoT FleetWise to enhance your existing systems. AWS IoT FleetWise enables intelligent data collection that sends the exact data you need from the vehicle…

New – AWS Support App in Slack to Manage Support Cases

ChatOps speeds up software development and operations by enabling DevOps teams to use chat clients and chatbots to communicate and run tasks. DevOps engineers have increasingly moved their monitoring, system management, continuous integration (CI), and continuous delivery (CD) workflows to chat applications in order to streamline activities in a single place and enable better collaboration within organizations. For example, AWS Chatbot enables ChatOps for AWS to monitor and respond to operational events. AWS Chatbot processes AWS service notifications from Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) and forwards them to your Slack channel or Amazon Chime chat rooms so teams can analyze and act on them immediately, regardless of location. However, AWS Support customers had to switch applications from Slack to…

Happy 10th Anniversary, Amazon S3 Glacier – A Decade of Cold Storage in the Cloud

Ten years ago, on August 20, 2012, AWS announced the general availability of Amazon Glacier, secure, reliable, and extremely low-cost storage designed for data archiving and backup. At the time, I was working as an AWS customer and it felt like an April Fools’ joke, offering long-term, secure, and durable cloud storage that allowed me to archive large amounts of data at a very low cost. In Jeff’s original blog post for this launch, he noted that: Glacier provides, at a cost as low as $0.01 (one US penny, one one-hundredth of a dollar) per Gigabyte per month, extremely low-cost archive storage. You can store a little bit, or you can store a lot (terabytes, petabytes, and beyond). There’s no…

New – HTTP/3 Support for Amazon CloudFront

Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) service, a network of interconnected servers that is geographically closer to the users and reaches their computers much faster. Amazon CloudFront reduces latency by delivering data through 410+ globally dispersed Points of Presence (PoPs) with automated network mapping and intelligent routing. With Amazon CloudFront, content, API requests and responses or applications can be delivered over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) version 1.1, and 2.0 over the latest version of Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt and secure communication between the user client and CloudFront. Today we are adding HTTP version 3.0 (HTTP/3) support for Amazon CloudFront. HTTP/3 uses QUIC, a user datagram protocol-based, stream-multiplexed, and secure transport protocol that combines and improves upon…
