Every week, there’s a new Amazon Web Services (AWS) community event where you can network, learn something new, and immerse yourself in the community. When you’re in a community, everyone grows together, and no one is left behind. Last week was no exception. I can highlight the Dutch AWS Community Day where Viktoria Semaan closed with a talk titled How to Create Impactful Content and Build a Strong Personal Brand, and the Peru User Group, who organized two days of talks and learning opportunities: UGCONF & SERVERLESSDAY 2024, featuring Jeff Barr, who spoke about how to Create Your Own Luck. The community events continue, so check them out at Upcoming AWS Community Days. Last week’s launches Here are the launches…

Amazon S3 Express One Zone, a high-performance, single-Availability Zone (AZ) S3 storage class, now supports server-side encryption with AWS Key Management Service (KMS) keys (SSE-KMS). S3 Express One Zone already encrypts all objects stored in S3 directory buckets with Amazon S3 managed keys (SSE-S3) by default. Starting today, you can use AWS KMS customer managed keys to encrypt data at rest, with no impact on performance. This new encryption capability gives you an additional option to meet compliance and regulatory requirements when using S3 Express One Zone, which is designed to deliver consistent single-digit millisecond data access for your most frequently accessed data and latency-sensitive applications. S3 directory buckets allow you to specify only one customer managed key per bucket for…

Today, we are pleased to announce Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) support in Amazon SageMaker HyperPod — purpose-built infrastructure engineered with resilience at its core for foundation model (FM) development. This new capability enables customers to orchestrate HyperPod clusters using EKS, combining the power of Kubernetes with Amazon SageMaker HyperPod‘s resilient environment designed for training large models. Amazon SageMaker HyperPod helps efficiently scale across more than a thousand artificial intelligence (AI) accelerators, reducing training time by up to 40%. Amazon SageMaker HyperPod now enables customers to manage their clusters using a Kubernetes-based interface. This integration allows seamless switching between Slurm and Amazon EKS for optimizing various workloads, including training, fine-tuning, experimentation, and inference. The CloudWatch Observability EKS add-on provides comprehensive…

In a News Blog post for re:Invent 2023, we introduced you to Amazon S3 Express One Zone, a high-performance, single-Availability Zone (AZ) storage class purpose-built to deliver consistent single-digit millisecond data access for your most frequently accessed data and latency-sensitive applications. It is well-suited for demanding applications and is designed to deliver up to 10x better performance than S3 Standard. S3 Express One Zone uses S3 directory buckets to store objects in a single AZ. Starting today, S3 Express One Zone supports AWS CloudTrail data event logging, allowing you to monitor all object-level operations like PutObject, GetObject, and DeleteObject, in addition to bucket-level actions like CreateBucket and DeleteBucket that were already supported. This enables auditing for governance and compliance, and can…
