AWS Database Migration Service Enables Individual Table Reload

AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) continues to make migrations easier by adding the ability to reload data for an individual table. When a database table is migrated as part of a larger migration task, you can choose to reload it while the migration is already running, without having to reload all tables in the task. This adds a new level of flexibility so you can complete a migration quicker than ever before. DMS can move data between heterogeneous database engines, giving you the freedom to migrate your databases unchanged to AWS or to replace expensive, restrictive commercial databases with cloud-enabled, cost-effective ones.

New GitHub repository with AWS Lambda actions for AWS Health

The AWS Health APIs and the AWS Personal Health Dashboard give you a personalized view into the performance and availability of the AWS services underlying your AWS resources. The service provides relevant and timely information to help you manage AWS events in progress, and provides proactive notifications to help you plan for scheduled activities. You can use CloudWatch Events to detect and react to changes in the status of AWS Health events. Then, based on rules you create, CloudWatch Events invokes one or more target actions when an event matches the values you specify in a rule.

Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) Now Supports NFSv4 Lock Upgrading and Downgrading

Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) now supports NFS version 4 lock upgrading and downgrading functionality. This new capability extends support in Amazon EFS for the NFSv4.1 and NFSv4.0 protocols by allowing you to run applications that upgrade a read lock atomically to a write lock and downgrade a write lock atomically to a read lock. One example is SQLite, a popular library that’s embedded into many applications and programming language tools like Python and PHP.
