AWS Marketplace announces enhanced pricing dimension capabilities for sellers

Today, AWS Marketplace announces enhanced pricing dimension capabilities, increasing limits and improving flexibility for sellers managing their product pricing. These enhancements increase the maximum pricing dimensions from 24 to 200, enable immediate use of new SaaS dimensions, and remove the 90-day price update restriction for dimensions without active subscriptions. These enhancements address key product pricing needs for sellers offering complex enterprise software. With 200 dimensions each for contract and usage-based pricing, sellers can now fully represent pricing across multiple features, user types, and consumption metrics in a single listing; matching the same pricing structures they offer outside of AWS Marketplace. When sellers add new usage dimensions to their public offers, these become available immediately for use. For instance, when a seller launches a new feature, subscribers can now instantly access it. Similarly, for dimensions without active subscriptions, sellers can adjust prices to align with their external pricing strategies without waiting through multiple 90-day periods. These enhancements to pricing dimensions are now available in all AWS Regions where AWS Marketplace is supported. To learn more, visit the AWS Marketplace Seller Guide, or access the AWS Marketplace Management Portal to try the new capabilities.

AWS Marketplace now supports new currencies for usage-based private offers

AWS Marketplace now supports usage-based private offers in four new currencies: EUR, GBP, AUD, and JPY. AWS Marketplace Sellers and Channel Partners can now reach buyers globally without currency conversion complexity or foreign exchange risk by pricing their offers in these new currencies. For sellers, this means faster deal cycles, simplified cash flow management in local currency, and the ability to close larger deals with confidence. For AWS Marketplace buyers, software and services can now be procured in their preferred currency, eliminating foreign exchange risk in invoice amounts, and streamlining the procurement process for private offers. Sellers can now create private offers in EUR, GBP, AUD, and JPY, and receive their disbursements in the offer currency, regardless of pricing types, including contract with consumption-based pricing and usage-based (pay-as-you-go) pricing, in addition to contract-only pricing. For Channel Partner Private Offers (CPPO), the seller, channel partner, and buyer must all transact in the same currency. Sellers need to issue a resale authorization in the negotiated currency, and the channel partner then creates the CPPO in that currency. This functionality is available worldwide for all AWS Marketplace Sellers for all private offers. Public offers remain in USD only. AWS Marketplace Sellers can choose to get disbursed to a bank account in one of the eligible jurisdictions by updating your banking information and set your currency preferences in the AWS Marketplace Management Portal Settings page. To learn more, visit the documentation on local currency offers and disbursements.

Amazon RDS for Db2 launches support for native database backups

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for Db2 now enables customers to perform native database-level backups, offering greater flexibility in database management and migration. With this feature, customers can selectively back up individual databases within a multi-database RDS for Db2 instance, enabling efficient migration of specific databases to another instance or on-premises environment. Using a simple backup command, customers can easily create database copies for development and testing environments, while also meeting their compliance requirements through separate backup copies. By backing up specific databases instead of full instance snapshots, customers can reduce their storage costs. This feature is now available in all AWS Regions where Amazon RDS for Db2 is offered. For detailed information about configuring and using native database backups, visit the Amazon RDS for Db2 documentation. For pricing details, see the Amazon RDS pricing page.

Amazon VPC Lattice now supports configurable IP addresses for Resource Gateways

Starting today, Amazon VPC Lattice lets you configure the number of IPv4 addresses assigned to resource gateway elastic network interfaces (ENIs). This enhancement builds on VPC Lattice’s capability of providing access to resources on Layer-4 such as databases, clusters, domain names, etc. across multiple VPCs and accounts. When configuring a resource gateway, you can now specify the number of IPv4 addresses per ENI, which becomes immutable after setting. The IPv4 addresses are used for network address translation and determine the maximum number of concurrent IPv4 connections to a resource. You should consider your expected connection volume when configuring the IPv4 address count. By default, VPC Lattice assigns 16 IPv4 addresses per ENI. For IPv6, VPC Lattice always assigns a /80 CIDR per ENI. This feature is available at no additional cost in all AWS Regions where VPC Lattice is offered. For more information, visit the Amazon VPC Lattice product detail page and Amazon VPC Lattice documentation.

New Compute Optimized Amazon EC2 C8i and C8i-flex instances

AWS is announcing the general availability of new compute optimized Amazon EC2 C8i and C8i-flex instances. 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. These C8i and C8i-flex instances offer up to 15% better price-performance, and 2.5x more memory bandwidth compared to previous generation Intel-based instances. They deliver up to 20% better performance than C7i and C7i-flex instances, with even higher gains for some workloads. The C8i and C8i-flex instances are up to 60% faster for NGINX web applications, up to 40% faster for AI deep learning recommendation models, and 35% faster for Memcached stores compared to C7i and C7i-flex instances. C8i-flex are the easiest way to get price performance benefits for a majority of compute intensive workloads like web and application servers, databases, caches, Apache Kafka, Elasticsearch, and enterprise applications. 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. C8i instances are a great choice for all compute intensive workloads, especially for workloads that need the largest instance sizes or continuous high CPU usage. C8i instances offer 13 sizes including 2 bare metal sizes and the new 96xlarge size for the largest applications. C8i and C8i-flex instances are available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), and Europe (Spain). To get started, sign in to the AWS Management Console. Customers can purchase these instances via Savings Plans, On-Demand instances, and Spot instances. For more information about the new C8i and C8i-flex instances visit the AWS News blog.

Amazon Connect now enables you to customize service level calculations

Amazon Connect now enables you to customize service level calculations to your specific needs. Supervisors and managers can define time thresholds for when a contact is considered to meet service level standards and select which contact outcomes to include in the calculation. For example, managers can choose to count callback contacts, exclude contacts transferred out while waiting in queue, and exclude short abandons using a configurable time threshold. Customization of service level calculation is available from the metric configuration section on the analytics dashboards. With this feature supervisors and managers can now create a service level metric calculation that better aligns with their business operations. With a customized view of service level performance, operations managers can assess how effectively they have met their service standards. This new feature is available in all AWS regions where Amazon Connect is offered. To learn more about customizing your service level calculation, visit the Admin Guide.
