Announcing the general availability of a new AWS Local Zone in Istanbul, Türkiye

Today, AWS announces the general availability of a new AWS Local Zone in Istanbul, Türkiye, bringing AWS infrastructure closer to end users, while enabling organizations to meet data residency requirements by storing and backing up data locally.
AWS Local Zones are AWS infrastructure deployments that extend core services, such as compute, storage, networking, and other select services, closer to metropolitan areas worldwide. AWS Local Zones help you achieve single-digit millisecond latency for end-user workloads, meet data residency requirements, support AI/ML inference workloads, and accelerate migration and modernization of legacy applications to the cloud, all while maintaining consistent AWS APIs, tools, and services as AWS Regions. AWS Local Zones are available in more than 30 metropolitan areas worldwide.
The AWS Local Zone in Istanbul supports Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) with C7i, M7i, and R7i instances, Amazon S3 with the One Zone-Infrequent Access storage class, Amazon EBS with Local Snapshots and volume types gp3, gp2, io1, sc1, and st1, Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC), AWS Direct Connect, and Application Load Balancer.  
To get started, enable the AWS Local Zone in Istanbul (eu-central-1-ist-1a) from the Zones tab in the Amazon EC2 console settings or by using the ModifyAvailabilityZoneGroup API. For pricing information, visit the AWS Local Zones pricing page. To learn more, visit the AWS Local Zones overview page.

AWS Billing Conductor Improves Account Visibility with Billing Transfer Inventory

AWS Billing Conductor Console now enables you to see which accounts have received or accepted billing transfer invites but still lack access to pro forma billing data.
 
This page helps customers detect and close gaps in their account’s billing visibility. When an account accepts a billing transfer invitation, billing data is transferred to the inviting account. By configuring a billing group via AWS Billing Conductor, accounts can access pro forma cost data across Billing and Cost Management tools. This page provides visibility into what accounts currently lack access to pro forma billing data, making it easier to complete this configuration step. Customers can also sign up for daily notifications via AWS User Notifications and Amazon EventBridge to receive a summary of accepted billing transfers that lack a corresponding billing group. Notifications are available via email, Amazon Q Developer in chat applications (Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Amazon Chime), AWS Console Mobile Application push notifications, and the Console Notifications Center. 

 

These features are available in the US East (N. Virginia) region. To get started, visit the AWS Billing Conductor console. To learn more about setting up EventBridge integration, see the EventBridge documentation. For instructions on configuring User Notifications, see the User Notifications documentation. To learn more about Billing Transfer and AWS Billing Conductor visit the Billing Transfer product page, AWS Billing documentation and the AWS Cost Management documentation.

AWS announces ExtendDB, an open source DynamoDB-compatible adapter

Today, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced version 0.1 of ExtendDB, an open source project that implements the Amazon DynamoDB API with pluggable storage backends. Amazon DynamoDB is a serverless, fully managed NoSQL database with single-digit millisecond performance at any scale. ExtendDB enables application developers, platform teams, and enterprise architects to use the DynamoDB programming model in environments where the DynamoDB managed service is not available, including developer laptops, on-premises data centers, and disconnected edge sites, without rewriting application code. ExtendDB implements the DynamoDB control plane and data plane APIs, including operations on tables, items, and streams. The reference storage backend at launch is PostgreSQL, and the pluggable architecture allows the community to add new storage backends without modifying the core adapter. Developers can use ExtendDB for high-fidelity local development and continuous integration testing, and operate DynamoDB-shaped workloads in on-premises data centers backed by a supported database. ExtendDB is maintained by AWS, released under the Apache 2.0 license, and developed in the open on GitHub. We invite the community to contribute backend implementations, submit feedback, and participate in the project’s evolution. To learn more, see the ExtendDB project page and the AWS database blog post. To get started or contribute, visit the GitHub repository.

Amazon Managed Grafana now supports dual-stack connectivity (IPv6 and IPv4)

Amazon Managed Grafana now supports dual-stack connectivity, enabling workspaces to communicate over both Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). Dual-stack mode is available for workspaces running Grafana version 10.4 or later.
With dual-stack support, customers can simplify their network stack by eliminating the need to manage overlapping address spaces in their VPCs. Customers migrating to IPv6 can connect to their Grafana workspaces over IPv6 while maintaining IPv4 compatibility, and those not yet on IPv6 can continue using IPv4-only connections. This is especially beneficial as the continued growth of the internet exhausts available IPv4 addresses. 
Support for dual-stack connectivity on Amazon Managed Grafana is available in all regions where the service is generally available. To get started, update your workspace configuration via the Amazon Managed Grafana console, API, or CLI. For more information, see the Amazon Managed Grafana User Guide. To learn more about best practices for configuring IPv6 in your environment, visit the whitepaper on IPv6 in AWS.
