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…

We have added a set of diagnostic tools that will give participants in the AWS Partner-Led Support program access to diagnostic tools that will empower them to do an even better job of supporting their customers. Intro to AWS Partner-Led Support This AWS Partner Network (APN) program enables AWS Partners to act as the customer’s sole point of contact for technical support. Customers contact their support partner for technical assistance instead of directly contacting AWS. In many cases the partner can resolve the issue directly. If the partner cannot do this, they get guidance from AWS via their AWS Support plan. Diagnostic tools These are the same tools that AWS Support Engineers use to assist AWS customers. When a customer…

You can now create, manage, and back up your Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP FlexGroup volumes using the AWS Management Console, the Amazon FSx CLI, and the AWS SDK. FlexGroups can be as large as 20 petabytes and offer greater performance for demanding workloads. Before this launch you could only create them using the ONTAP CLI and the ONTAP REST API (these options remain available). Also new to this launch is the ability to create Amazon FSx backups of your FlexGroup volumes. FlexVol and FlexGroup FSx for ONTAP supports two volume styles: FlexVol – Support for up to 300 TiB of storage, making these volumes a good fit for general-purpose workloads. FlexGroup – Support for up to 20 PiB of…

You can now create Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP file systems that are up to 9x faster than even before. As is already the case with this service, the file systems are fully managed, with latency to primary storage at the sub-millisecond level and latency to the capacity pool in the tens of milliseconds. This new level of performance will allow you to bring even more of your most demanding electronic design automation (EDA), visual effects (VFX), and statistical computing workloads (to name just a few) to the cloud. Existing FSx for ONTAP scale-up file systems are powered by a single pair of servers in an active/passive high availability (HA) configuration, and can support a maximum of 4 GBps of…
