On October 26, 2021, we launched Amazon RDS Custom for Oracle, a managed database service for applications that require customization of the underlying operating system and database environment. RDS Custom lets you access and customize your database server host and operating system, for example, by applying special patches and changing the database software settings to support third-party applications that require privileged access. Today, I am happy to announce the general availability of Amazon RDS Custom for SQL Server to support applications that have dependencies on specific configurations and third-party applications that require customizations in corporate, e-commerce, and content management systems, such as Microsoft SharePoint. With RDS Custom for SQL Server, you can enable features that require elevated privileges like SQL…

Introducing Karpenter – An Open-Source High-Performance Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler
Today we are announcing that Karpenter is ready for production. Karpenter is an open-source, flexible, high-performance Kubernetes cluster autoscaler built with AWS. It helps improve your application availability and cluster efficiency by rapidly launching right-sized compute resources in response to changing application load. Karpenter also provides just-in-time compute resources to meet your application’s needs and will soon automatically optimize a cluster’s compute resource footprint to reduce costs and improve performance. Before Karpenter, Kubernetes users needed to dynamically adjust the compute capacity of their clusters to support applications using Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling groups and the Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler. Nearly half of Kubernetes customers on AWS report that configuring cluster auto scaling using the Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler is challenging and restrictive.…
New – AWS Marketplace for Containers Anywhere to Deploy Your Kubernetes Cluster in Any Environment
More than 300,000 customers use AWS Marketplace today to find, subscribe to, and deploy third-party software packaged as Amazon Machine Images (AMIs), software-as-a-service (SaaS), and containers. Customers can find and subscribe containerized third-party applications from AWS Marketplace and deploy them in Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Many customers that run Kubernetes applications on AWS want to deploy them on-premises due to constraints, such as latency and data governance requirements. Also, once they have deployed the Kubernetes application, they need additional tools to govern the application through license tracking, billing, and upgrades. Today, we announce AWS Marketplace for Containers Anywhere, a set of capabilities that allows AWS customers to find, subscribe to, and…
New – Amazon EC2 M6a Instances Powered By 3rd Gen AMD EPYC Processors
AWS and AMD have collaborated to give customers more choice and value in cloud computing, starting with the first generation AMD EPYC processors in 2018 such as M5a/R5a, M5ad/R5ad, and T3a instances. In 2020, we expanded the second generation AMD EPYC processors to include C5a/C5ad instances and recently G4ad instances, combining the power of both second-generation AMD EPYC processors and AMD Radeon Pro GPUs. Today, I am happy to announce the general availability of Amazon EC2 M6a instances featuring the 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors, running at frequencies up to 3.6 GHz to offer up to 35 percent price performance versus the previous generation M5a instances. You can launch M6a instances today in ten sizes in the AWS US East…
