NEW – Replicate Existing Objects with Amazon S3 Batch Replication

Starting today, you can replicate existing Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) objects and synchronize your buckets using the new Amazon S3 Batch Replication feature. Amazon S3 Replication supports several customer use cases. For example, you can use it to minimize latency by maintaining copies of your data in AWS Regions geographically closer to your users, to meet compliance and data sovereignty requirements, and to create additional resiliency for disaster recovery planning. S3 Replication is a fully managed, low-cost feature that replicates newly uploaded objects between buckets. The buckets can belong to the same or different accounts. Objects may be replicated to a single destination bucket or to multiple destination buckets. Destination buckets can be in different AWS Regions (Cross-Region…

New DynamoDB Table Class – Save Up To 60% in Your DynamoDB Costs

Today we are announcing Amazon DynamoDB Standard-Infrequent Access (DynamoDB Standard-IA). A new table class for DynamoDB that reduces storage costs by 60 percent compared to existing DynamoDB Standard tables, and that delivers the same performance, durability, and scaling. Nowadays, many customers are moving their infrequently accessed data between DynamoDB and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). This means that customers are developing a process to migrate the data and build complex applications that must support two different APIs—one for DynamoDB and another for Amazon S3. DynamoDB Standard-IA table class is designed for customers who want a cost-optimized solution for storing infrequently accessed data in DynamoDB without changing any application code. Using this new table class, you get the single-digit millisecond…

New – Amazon DevOps Guru for RDS to Detect, Diagnose, and Resolve Amazon Aurora-Related Issues using ML

Today we are announcing Amazon DevOps Guru for RDS, a new capability for Amazon DevOps Guru. It allows developers to easily detect, diagnose, and resolve performance and operational issues in Amazon Aurora. Hundreds of thousands of customers nowadays are using Amazon Aurora because it is highly available, scalable, and durable. But as applications grow in size and complexity, it becomes more challenging for these customers to detect and resolve operational and performance issues quickly. During last year’s re:Invent, we announced DevOps Guru, a service that uses machine learning (ML) to automatically detect and alert customers of application issues, including database problems. Today we are announcing DevOps Guru for RDS to help developers using Amazon Aurora databases to detect, diagnose, and…

Amazon S3 Glacier is the Best Place to Archive Your Data – Introducing the S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval Storage Class
