AWS Fault Injection Service (FIS) helps you to put chaos engineering into practice at scale. Today we are launching new scenarios that will let you demonstrate that your applications perform as intended if an AWS Availability Zone experiences a full power interruption or connectivity from one AWS region to another is lost. You can use the scenarios to conduct experiments that will build confidence that your application (whether single-region or multi-region) works as expected when something goes wrong, help you to gain a better understanding of direct and indirect dependencies, and test recovery time. After you have put your application through its paces and know that it works as expected, you can use the results of the experiment for compliance…

You can use the new OR1 instances to create Amazon OpenSearch Service clusters that use Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) for primary storage. You can ingest, store, index, and access just about any imaginable amount of data, while also enjoying a 30% price/performance improvement over existing instance types, eleven nines of data durability, and a zero-time Recovery Point Objective (RPO). You can use this to perform interactive log analytics, monitor application in real time, and more. New OR1 Instances These benefits are all made possible by the new OR1 instances, which are available in eight sizes and used for the data nodes of the cluster: Instance Name vCPUs Memory EBS Storage Max (gp3) or1.medium.search 1 8 GiB 400 GiB…

We are opening up a preview of the next generation of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances. Equipped with brand-new Graviton4 processors, the new R8g instances will deliver better price performance than any existing memory-optimized instance. The R8g instances are suitable for your most demanding memory-intensive workloads: big data analytics, high-performance databases, in-memory caches and so forth. Graviton history Let’s take a quick look back in time and recap the evolution of the Graviton processors: November 2018 – The Graviton processor made its debut in the A1 instances, optimized for both performance and cost, and delivering cost reductions of up to 45% for scale-out workloads. December 2019 – The Graviton2 processor debuted with the announcement of M6g, M6gd, C6g,…

The new Amazon S3 Express One Zone storage class is designed to deliver up to 10x better performance than the S3 Standard storage class while handling hundreds of thousands of requests per second with consistent single-digit millisecond latency, making it a great fit for your most frequently accessed data and your most demanding applications. Objects are stored and replicated on purpose built hardware within a single AWS Availability Zone, allowing you to co-locate storage and compute (Amazon EC2, Amazon ECS, and Amazon EKS) resources to further reduce latency. Amazon S3 Express One Zone With very low latency between compute and storage, the Amazon S3 Express One Zone storage class can help to deliver a significant reduction in runtime for data-intensive…
