Amazon Athena can now query encrypted data on Amazon S3; adds support for LZO-compression, and performance improvements to JDBC driver

You can now use Amazon Athena to query encrypted data stored in Amazon S3. You can query data that’s encrypted using Server-Side Encryption with Amazon S3-Managed Encryption Keys, Server-Side Encryption with AWS Key Management Service (KMS) – Managed Keys, and Client-Side Encryption with keys managed by KMS. Amazon Athena also integrates with KMS and provides you an option to encrypt your result sets. To use this feature via the JDBC driver, you will need to download the latest version of the driver. The new JDBC driver has improved performance, support for cancelling queries and several bug fixes.

Amazon Elasticsearch Service now supports up to 100 nodes and 150 TB storage capacity per domain

Amazon Elasticsearch Service has increased the maximum number of instances supported in a single domain to 100, which increases the maximum storage capacity per domain to 150 TB on select instance types. This allows you to store and analyze up to five times more data for large analytic workloads and to horizontally scale search applications to meet the most demanding performance needs. To request an increase beyond the default per domain limit of 20 instances, simply submit a service limit increase request.

Amazon Aurora Supports Fast DDL Operations

Amazon Aurora can now execute one of the most common Data Definition Language (DDL) operations – an ALTER command to add a nullable column at the end of a table – nearly instantaneously. This capability, called fast DDL, is available in lab mode. Fast DDL doesn’t require a table copy and does not materially impact other DML statements. Since it doesn’t consume temporary storage for a table copy, it makes DDL statements practical even for large tables on small instance types. Take a look under the hood for how we accomplish this.

Amazon ElastiCache adds Support for Manual Triggering of Redis Automatic Failover to a Read Replica

We are happy to announce that ElastiCache for Redis now allows customer-triggered automatic failover. In clusters that have one or more read-replicas with Multi-AZ enabled, you can trigger a failover by manually failing the primary. This will initiate automatic failover, which will promote a read replica to primary, and replace the failed primary as a new read replica in place of the one promoted. Triggering auto failover can help with testing how your application responds to a failure of an ElastiCache primary.
