Amazon DynamoDB global tables with multi-Region strong consistency now supports application resiliency testing with AWS Fault Injection Service

Amazon DynamoDB global tables with multi-Region strong consistency (MRSC) now supports application resiliency testing with AWS Fault Injection Service (FIS), a fully managed service for running controlled fault injection experiments to improve application performance, observability, and resilience. With this launch, you can create real-world failure scenarios to MRSC global tables, such as during regional failures, enabling you to observe how your applications respond to these disruptions and validate your resilience mechanisms. MRSC global tables replicate your DynamoDB tables automatically across your choice of AWS Regions to achieve fast, strongly consistent read and write performance, providing you 99.999% availability, increased application resiliency, and improved business continuity. FIS is a fully managed service for running controlled fault injection experiments to improve an application’s performance, observability, and resilience. You can use the new FIS action to observe how your application responds to a pause in regional replication and tune monitoring and recovery processes to improve resiliency and application availability. MRSC global tables support for FIS is available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Frankfurt), and Europe (Paris). To get started, visit the DynamoDB FIS actions documentation.

Amazon MSK Replicator is now available in Asia Pacific (New Zealand)

You can now use Amazon MSK Replicator to replicate streaming data across Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) clusters in Asia Pacific (New Zealand) Region. MSK Replicator is a feature of Amazon MSK that enables you to reliably replicate data across Amazon MSK clusters in different or the same AWS Region(s) in a few clicks. With MSK Replicator, you can easily build regionally resilient streaming applications for increased availability and business continuity. MSK Replicator provides automatic asynchronous replication across MSK clusters, eliminating the need to write custom code, manage infrastructure, or setup cross-region networking. MSK Replicator automatically scales the underlying resources so that you can replicate data on-demand without having to monitor or scale capacity. MSK Replicator also replicates the necessary Kafka metadata including topic configurations, Access Control Lists (ACLs), and consumer group offsets. If an unexpected event occurs in a region, you can failover to the other AWS Region and seamlessly resume processing. You can get started with MSK Replicator from the Amazon MSK console or the Amazon CLI. With this launch, MSK Replicator is now available in thirty six AWS Regions. To learn more, visit the MSK Replicator documentation, product page, and pricing page.

Amazon EC2 R7gd instances are now available in Europe (Paris) Region

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) R7gd instances with up to 3.8 TB of local NVMe-based SSD block-level storage are available in Europe (Paris) Region. R7gd are powered by AWS Graviton3 processors with DDR5 memory are built on the AWS Nitro System. They are ideal for memory-intensive workloads such as open-source databases, in-memory caches, and real-time big data analytics and are a great fit for applications that need access to high-speed, low latency local storage, including those that need temporary storage of data for scratch space, temporary files, and caches.  To learn more, see Amazon R7gd Instances. To get started, see the AWS Management Console.

Amazon EKS and Amazon EKS Distro now supports Kubernetes version 1.35

Kubernetes version 1.35 introduced several new features and bug fixes, and AWS is excited to announce that you can now use Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and Amazon EKS Distro to run Kubernetes version 1.35. Starting today, you can create new EKS clusters using version 1.35 and upgrade existing clusters to version 1.35 using the EKS console, the eksctl command line interface, or through an infrastructure-as-code tool. Kubernetes version 1.35 introduces several key improvements, including In-Place Pod Resource Updates allowing CPU and memory adjustments without restarting Pods, and PreferSameNode Traffic Distribution prioritizing local endpoints before routing to remote nodes for reduced latency. The release brings Node Topology Labels via Downward API enabling Pods to access region and zone information without API server queries, alongside Image Volumes delivering data artifacts like AI models using OCI container images. To learn more about the changes in Kubernetes version 1.35, see our documentation and the Kubernetes project release notes. EKS now supports Kubernetes version 1.35 in all the AWS Regions where EKS is available, including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. You can learn more about the Kubernetes versions available on EKS and instructions to update your cluster to version 1.35 by visiting EKS documentation. You can use EKS cluster insights to check if there are any issues that can impact your Kubernetes cluster upgrades. EKS Distro builds of Kubernetes version 1.35 are available through ECR Public Gallery and GitHub. Learn more about the EKS version lifecycle policies in the documentation.
