Today, we are announcing support for mutually authenticating clients that present X509 certificates to Application Load Balancer. With this new feature, you can now offload client authentication to the load balancer, ensuring only trusted clients communicate with their backend applications. This new capability is built on S2N, AWS’s open source Transport Layer Security (TLS) implementation that provides strong encryption and protections against zero-day vulnerabilities, which developers can trust. Mutual authentication (mTLS) is commonly used for business-to-business (B2B) applications such as online banking, automobile, or gaming devices to authenticate devices using digital certificates. Companies typically use it with a private certificate authority (CA) to authenticate their clients before granting access to data and services. Customers have implemented mutual authentication using self-created…

Today, we are announcing Cost Optimization Hub, a new AWS Billing and Cost Management feature that makes it easy for you to identify, filter, aggregate, and quantify savings for AWS cost optimization recommendations. With the new Cost Optimization Hub, you can interactively query cost optimization recommendations such as idle resource detection, resource rightsizing, and purchasing options across multiple AWS Regions and AWS accounts in your organizations without any data aggregation and processing. You can find out how much you’ll save if you implement those recommendations and easily compare and prioritize recommendations by savings. Andy Jassy, CEO of Amazon, told shareholders, “We’re trying to build customer relationships (and a business) that outlast all of us, and as a result, our AWS…

Recent advancements in machine learning (ML) have unlocked opportunities for customers across organizations of all sizes and industries to reinvent new products and transform their businesses. However, the growth in demand for GPU capacity to train, fine-tune, experiment, and inference these ML models has outpaced industry-wide supply, making GPUs a scarce resource. Access to GPU capacity is an obstacle for customers whose capacity needs fluctuate depending on the research and development phase they’re in. Today, we are announcing Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Capacity Blocks for ML, a new Amazon EC2 usage model that further democratizes ML by making it easy to access GPU instances to train and deploy ML and generative AI models. With EC2 Capacity Blocks, you…
