Specifying the VPC for your Amazon RDS DB Instance

You can now easily change the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) used by your Amazon RDS DB instance. You can specify a new VPC for an existing DB instance deployed in Single-AZ configuration by using the Amazon RDS Management Console, the Amazon RDS API, or the AWS Command Line Tools. In addition, if you are running your DB instance on the EC2-Classic environment, you can switch to the EC2-VPC environment by modifying your existing DB instance.

GameLift Adds Game Session Search

Amazon GameLift is a fully managed service that makes it simple and cost-effective to deploy, operate, and scale session-based multi-player game servers in the cloud. GameLift has added two new features and made several improvements to the service. Game developers can now use the new game session search & sort feature to populate session browsers with active game sessions that better match player preferences. Developers building game servers can now implement custom health checks for game server processes and report health status, which GameLift uses to track and maintain overall health for a fleet. In addition, with the release of the new Server SDK, GameLift now fully supports the ability to run multiple server processes concurrently on each instance in a fleet, giving you greater control over how efficiently you use GameLift resources and potentially reducing overall costs for hosting your game.
