Amazon Redshift announces query monitoring rules (QMR), a new feature that automates workload management, and a new function to calculate percentiles

You can use the new Amazon Redshift query monitoring rules feature to set metrics-based performance boundaries for workload management (WLM) queues, and specify what action to take when a query goes beyond those boundaries. For example, for a queue that’s dedicated to short running queries, you might create a rule that aborts queries that run for more than 60 seconds. To track poorly designed queries, you might have another rule that logs queries that contain nested loops. We also provide pre-defined rule templates in the Amazon Redshift management console to get you started.

Use the Enhanced AWS Price List API to Access AWS Service- and Region-Specific Product and Pricing Information

Starting today, the AWS Price List API can return product and pricing information for specific AWS services and regions. Previously, the API returned product and pricing information for a service for all AWS regions at once. You can now create more precise requests that return product and pricing information for the AWS service and region of interest.
For example, using this API you can get the product and pricing information for Amazon S3 in the us-east-1 region: https://pricing.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/offers/v1.0/aws/AmazonS3/current/us-east-1/index.json or https://pricing.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/offers/v1.0/aws/AmazonS3/current/us-east-1/index.csv
