Amazon OpenSearch Service now supports Graviton4 based (c8g,m8g,r8g and r8gd) instances

Amazon OpenSearch Service now supports latest generation Graviton4-based Amazon EC2 instance families. These new instance types are compute optimized (C8g), general purpose (M8g), and memory optimized (R8g, R8gd) instances. AWS Graviton4 processors provide up to 30% better performance than AWS Graviton3 processors with c8g, m8g and r8g & r8gd offering the best price performance for compute-intensive, general purpose, and memory-intensive workloads respectively. To learn more about Graviton4 improvements, please see the blog on r8g instances and the blog on c8g & m8g instances. Amazon OpenSearch Service Graviton4 instances are supported on all OpenSearch versions, and Elasticsearch (open source) versions 7.9 and 7.10. One or more than one Graviton4 instance types are now available on Amazon OpenSearch Service across 23 regions globally: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (N. California), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Jakarta), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), Asia Pacific (Hyderabad), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Malaysia), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Thailand), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Spain), Europe (Stockholm), South America(Sao Paulo) and AWS GovCloud (US-West).

CloudWatch Database Insights now supports tag based access control

Amazon CloudWatch Database Insights now supports tag-based access control for database and per-query metrics powered by RDS Performance Insights. You can implement access controls across a logical grouping of database resources without managing individual resource-level permissions. Previously, tags defined on RDS and Aurora instances did not apply to metrics powered by Performance Insights, creating significant overhead in manually configuring metric-related permissions at the database resource level. With this launch, those instance tags are now automatically evaluated to authorize metrics powered by Performance Insights. This allows you to define IAM policies using tag-based access conditions, resulting in improved governance and security consistency. Please refer to RDS and Aurora documentation to get started with defining IAM policies with tag-based access control on database and per-query metrics. This feature is available in all AWS regions where CloudWatch Database Insights is available. CloudWatch Database Insights delivers database health monitoring aggregated at the fleet level, as well as instance-level dashboards for detailed database and SQL query analysis. It offers vCPU-based pricing – see the pricing page for details. For further information, visit the Database Insights User Guide.

Amazon DocumentDB now supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)

Amazon DocumentDB now offers customers the option to use Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses on new and existing clusters. Customers moving to IPv6 can simplify their network stack by running their databases on a dual-stack network that supports both IPv4 and IPv6. IPv6 increases the number of available addresses and customers no longer need to manage overlapping IPv4 address spaces in their VPCs (Virtual Private Cloud). Customers can standardize their applications on the new version of Internet Protocol by moving to dual-stack mode (supporting both IPv4 and IPv6) with a few clicks in the AWS Management Console or directly using the AWS CLI. Amazon DocumentDB is a fully managed, native JSON database that makes it simple and cost-effective to operate critical document workloads at virtually any scale without managing infrastructure. Amazon DocumentDB support for IPv6 is generally available on version 4.0 and 5.0 in AWS Regions listed in Dual-stack mode Region and version availability. To learn more about configuring your environment for IPv6, please refer to Amazon VPC and Amazon DocumentDB.

Amazon EC2 now supports CPU options optimization for license-included instances

Amazon EC2 now allows customers to modify an instance’s CPU options to optimize the licensing costs of Microsoft Windows license-included workloads. You can now customize the number of vCPUs and/or disable hyperthreading on Windows Server and SQL Server license-included instances to save on vCPU-based licensing costs. This enhancement is particularly valuable for database workloads like Microsoft SQL Server that require high memory and IOPS but lower vCPU counts. By modifying CPU options, you can reduce vCPU-based licensing costs while maintaining memory and IOPS performance, achieve higher memory-to-vCPU ratios, and customize CPU settings to match your specific workload requirements. For example, on an r7i.8xlarge instance running Windows and SQL Server license included, you can turn off hyperthreading to reduce the default 32 vCPU count to 16, saving 50% on the licensing costs, while still getting the 256 GiB memory and 40,000 IOPS that come with the instance. This feature is available in all commercial AWS Regions and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. To learn more, see CPU options in the Amazon EC2 User Guide and read this blog post.

Amazon Location Service Introduces New Map Styling Features for Enhanced Customization

Today, AWS announced enhanced map styling features for Amazon Location Service, enabling users to further customize maps with terrain visualization, contour lines, real-time traffic data, and transportation-specific routing information. Developers can create more detailed and informative maps tailored for various use cases, such as outdoor navigation, logistics planning, and traffic management, by leveraging parameters like terrain, contour-density, traffic, and travel-mode through the GetStyleDescriptor API. With these styling capabilities, users can overlay real-time traffic conditions, visualize transportation-specific routing information such as transit and trucks, and display topographic features through elevation shading. For instance, developers can display current traffic conditions for optimized route planning, show truck-specific routing restrictions for logistics applications, or create maps that highlight physical terrain details for hiking and outdoor activities. Each feature operates seamlessly, providing enhanced map visualization and reliable performance for diverse use cases. These new map styling features are available in the following AWS Regions: US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Stockholm), Europe (Spain), and South America (São Paulo). To learn more, please visit the Developer Guide.
