AWS Lambda Adds Enhanced Visibility into Stream-based Processing Operations

You can now monitor and track the time that records spend in Amazon Kinesis and Amazon DynamoDB streams before being processed by your AWS Lambda functions. Using the new IteratorAge metric, you can easily detect delays in stream processing and create alarms that help you efficiently monitor your stream-based operation’s health and performance. The IteratorAge metric is now available as a default metric which is free of charge. It is viewable in the Lambda console’s monitoring tab.

Amazon Elasticsearch Service now supports additional instance types and up to 30 TB EBS capacity per domain

Amazon Elasticsearch Service now supports M4, C4, and R4 instance types. M4 and R4 instances provide improved compute performance at lower prices than the previous generation of M3 and R3 instances. With the C4 instance type, you can benefit from better cost effectiveness for workloads that have high indexing requirements. Additionally, on the newly supported instances, Amazon Elasticsearch Service offers increased EBS volume size up to 1.5 TB per node. The increased volume size allows you to store up to 30 TB in a single Amazon Elasticsearch Service domain using EBS-backed data nodes, which is triple the previous limit. For Provisioned IOPS SSD volumes, we have also increased the maximum to 16,000 IOPS to support the most demanding workloads. This release also offers operational enhancements that reduce the time required for performing cluster updates and snapshots, typically by more than 50%.
