Internal dependencies again prove problematic Amazon Web Services’ US-EAST-1 region, which last week caused massive disruption to online services, is having another bad day as internal dependencies again prove problematic.…

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) R8i and R8i-flex instances are available in the Europe (London) region. These instances are powered by custom Intel Xeon 6 processors, available only on AWS, delivering the highest performance and fastest memory bandwidth among comparable Intel processors in the cloud. The R8i and R8i-flex instances offer up to 15% better price-performance, and 2.5x more memory bandwidth compared to previous generation Intel-based instances. They deliver 20% better performance than R7i instances, with even higher gains for specific workloads. They are up to 30% faster for PostgreSQL databases, up to 60% faster for NGINX web applications, and up to 40% faster for AI deep learning recommendation models compared to R7i. R8i-flex, our first memory-optimized Flex instances, are the easiest way to get price performance benefits for a majority of memory-intensive workloads. They offer the most common sizes, from large to 16xlarge, and are a great first choice for applications that don't fully utilize all compute resources. R8i instances are a great choice for all memory-intensive workloads, especially for workloads that need the largest instance sizes or continuous high CPU usage. R8i instances offer 13 sizes including 2 bare metal and the new 96xlarge size for the largest applications. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sap/latest/general/sap-hana-aws-ec2.htmland deliver 142,100 aSAPS, the highest among all comparable machines in on-premises and cloud environments, delivering exceptional performance for mission-critical SAP workloads. To get started, sign in to the https://aws.amazon.com/console/. Customers can purchase these instances via Savings Plans, On-Demand instances, and Spot instances.

ガソリン税に上乗せされる暫定税率の廃止に向け、自民、立憲民主など与野党6党の実務者が29日、協議した。焦点となっていた廃止時期は年内を目指すことで大筋合意した。関係者が明らかにした。自民は来年廃止

The problem started with misconfigured DNS, but soon infected EC2 launches as well, bringing hiccups to many of the largest internet services.

Today, Amazon announced two new Amazon CloudWatch metrics that provide insight into when your application exceeds the I/O performance limits for your EC2 instance with attached EBS volumes. These two metrics, Instance EBS IOPS Exceeded Check and Instance EBS Throughput Exceeded Check, monitor if the driven IOPS or throughput is exceeding the maximum EBS IOPS or throughput that your instance can support. With these two new metrics at the instance level, you can quickly identify and respond to application performance issues stemming from exceeding the EBS-Optimized limits of your instance. These metrics will return a value of 0 (performance not exceeded) or a 1 (performance exceeded) when your workload is exceeding the EBS-Optimized IOPS or throughput limit of the EC2 instance. With Amazon CloudWatch, you can use these new metrics to create customized dashboards and set alarms that notify you or automatically perform actions based on these metrics, such as moving to a larger instance size or a different instance type that supports higher EBS-Optimized limits. The Instance EBS IOPS Exceeded Check and Instance EBS Throughput Exceeded Check metrics are available by default at a 1-minute frequency at no additional charges, for all Nitro-based Amazon EC2 instances with EBS volumes attached. You can access these metrics via the EC2 console, CLI, or CloudWatch API in all Commercial AWS Regions, including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and China Regions. To learn more about these CloudWatch metrics, please visit the EC2 CloudWatch Metrics documentation.

AWSは、19日からの大規模障害について謝罪と概要を公開した。障害の引き金となったDynamoDBのDNS PlannerおよびDNS Enactorの自動化システムを全世界で無効化し、NLBやEC2の制御を改善する対策を発表した。

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C7i-flex instances that deliver up to 19% better price performance compared to C6i instances, are available in the Asia Pacific (Jakarta) Region. C7i-flex instances expand the EC2 Flex instances portfolio to provide the easiest way for you to get price performance benefits for a majority of compute intensive workloads. The new instances are powered by the 4th generation Intel Xeon Scalable custom processors (Sapphire Rapids) that are available only on AWS, and offer 5% lower prices compared to C7i. C7i-flex instances offer the most common sizes, from large to 16xlarge, and are a great first choice for applications that don't fully utilize all compute resources. With C7i-flex instances, you can seamlessly run web and application servers, databases, caches, Apache Kafka, and Elasticsearch, and more. For compute-intensive workloads that need larger instance sizes (up to 192 vCPUs and 384 GiB memory) or continuous high CPU usage, you can leverage C7i instances. To learn more, visit Amazon EC2 C7i-flex instances. To get started, see the AWS Management Console.

When migrating Amazon EC2 instances with encrypted Amazon EBS volumes across AWS Regions with in the same account or a different account, you face a particular challenge: AWS KMS keys are AWS Region-specific and cannot be shared across AWS Regions. This post provides a step-by-step approach to successfully migrate your encrypted EC2 instances without compromising your security posture by sharing your KMS keys.
