Amazon EC2 M8i and M8i-flex instances are now available in additional regions

Starting today, Amazon EC2 M8i and M8i-flex instances are now available in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud (Germany) 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 M8i and M8i-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 M7i and M7i-flex instances, with even higher gains for specific workloads. The M8i and M8i-flex instances 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 M7i and M7i-flex instances.

M8i-flex are the easiest way to get price performance benefits for a majority of general-purpose workloads like web and application servers, microservices, small and medium data stores, virtual desktops, 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.

M8i instances are a great choice for all general purpose workloads, especially for workloads that need the largest instance sizes or continuous high CPU usage. The SAP-certified M8i instances offer 13 sizes including 2 bare metal sizes and the new 96xlarge size for the largest applications.

To get started, sign in to the AWS Management Console. For more information about the new instances, visit the M8i and M8i-flex instance page or visit the AWS News blog.

Amazon Transcribe adds customer-managed KMS keys for custom resources

Amazon Transcribe now lets you encrypt your custom vocabularies, custom vocabulary filters, and custom language models at rest with a customer-managed AWS KMS key that you own and control.
Previously, these custom resources were always encrypted with an AWS owned key. Now you can supply your own symmetric AWS KMS key when you create or update these resources, so the artifacts Transcribe stores on your behalf are encrypted under a key in your account. If you do not provide a key, your resources continue to be encrypted with an AWS owned key—no action is required unless you opt in.
With a customer-managed key, you control key permissions and decide exactly which principals and services can encrypt and decrypt your custom resources. Every use of your key is logged in AWS CloudTrail, giving you a full audit trail for compliance and monitoring. You can also disable the key or transition resources to a different key to revoke access on your own schedule.
This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Transcribe is offered. To learn more, see Amazon Transcribe Developer Guide.

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery now supports AWS Graviton-based source servers

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS) now supports disaster recovery for AWS Graviton-based (arm64) source servers. You can now protect and recover your Graviton workloads with the same simple, reliable DRS experience you already use for x86 workloads.
As more workloads move to Graviton for its price-performance benefits, they need the same disaster recovery coverage as the rest of your environment. DRS now automatically detects arm64 source servers and recovers them onto Graviton instances, preserving your workload’s architecture end to end. Recovery works the same way it does for your other servers, with nothing extra to configure.
This capability is available in all AWS Regions where AWS DRS is offered, at no additional cost. To learn more, visit the AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery User Guide.

AWS DataSync launches a monitoring dashboard for tracking task executions across your account

AWS DataSync now provides a monitoring dashboard in the DataSync console that gives you visibility into your data transfers across your account. For each task execution, you can see its status, data and file transfer rates, duration, and the total data and files transferred. You can filter executions by status, task, task mode, execution ID, or start time to focus on a specific set of runs. The dashboard summarizes the filtered results, including the number of successful and failed executions, and the cumulative data and files transferred, grouped by task. To troubleshoot issues, you can select a failed execution to view its errors. The dashboard also displays counts of your configured tasks, locations, and agents, along with real-time total transfer rates.
Previously, monitoring multiple transfers required reviewing each execution individually or building custom Amazon CloudWatch dashboards. Now you can monitor the health, performance, and progress of concurrent transfers from a single view. This is useful for large migrations and recurring transfers that run many tasks at once.
The AWS DataSync dashboard is available at no additional cost in all commercial AWS Regions and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where AWS DataSync is available. To view your dashboard, go to the AWS DataSync console. To learn more about DataSync, visit the AWS DataSync User Guide.

Amazon EventBridge relaunches event buses for enterprise scale

Amazon EventBridge relaunches event buses with a new enhanced Custom event bus that lets you build event-driven applications that decouple teams and can scale with your organization. Create a custom event bus, share it across accounts, and now teams can publish and consume events with strict ordering, open event formats, built-in retention, and support for advanced event transformations.
The EventBridge Custom event bus is a serverless event broker that enables you to create scalable event-driven applications by routing events between your applications, SaaS integrations, and AWS services. It can now be shared with one or more accounts through AWS Resource Access Manager allowing publishers to send events directly to the central event bus. With a new event publishing API, you can now publish events in popular JSON based event formats like CloudEvents and preserve their schema without modification. Custom event buses include 24 hours of built-in retention that can be extended for up to one year allowing you to recover from application errors or hydrate new components from historical data. A new Subscriber resource allows you to filter events and deliver them to over 250 AWS services. Now with native support for strictly ordered use cases, customers can ensure events are processed in the exact order they were received and new event evaluations allow automatic content based deduplication.
To get started, you can create and share the new Custom event bus using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, Serverless Agent skill, and AWS CloudFormation. To help you separate the existing Custom event bus experience from the new enhanced Custom event bus, we have renamed the existing bus to Custom event bus – classic. All existing APIs remain unchanged.
The enhanced Custom event bus is available at launch in fourteen AWS Regions: United States (N. Virginia, Ohio, Oregon), Europe (Ireland, Frankfurt, Stockholm, Spain), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo, Singapore, Sydney, Malaysia, Thailand, Mumbai, Hong Kong). We have introduced a new pricing model that charges for data transferred rather than events, and rewards you with lower costs as your workloads scale. To learn more, visit Amazon EventBridge. 
To learn more, see the AWS News blog, the EventBridge user guide, and the EventBridge product page, or download the agent skills.

AWS Billing and Cost Management now provides billing context for your account through a new API

AWS Billing and Cost Management now offers the ListBillingViewSegments API, which returns the billing context of your account over a time period you specify.
You can use the API to retrieve information about how your accounts are positioned in the billing hierarchy, such as management accounts, member accounts, or billing group primary accounts. You can also identify which accounts managed your billing relationship and the rate settings, either billable or pro forma, applied to your cost data. The API returns billing context only, not cost and usage data. You can call the API directly or through an AI agent.
Your billing context can change mid-period. The API therefore divides the requested period into time segments, each with its effective date range. For example, an account starts as its own payer, then moves under another organization as a member account, and in a later month has its new payer manage its billing through AWS Billing Conductor. A request covering all three periods returns three segments, each identifying the accounts and billing settings that were in effect.
ListBillingViewSegments is available in all commercial AWS Regions at no additional charge and supports primary billing views. To get started, visit the AWS Billing API Reference.
