Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio supports Amazon Athena workgroups

Data engineers and data analysts using Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio can now connect to and run queries with pre-existing Amazon Athena workgroups. This feature enables data teams to run SQL queries in SageMaker Unified Studio with the default settings and properties from existing Athena workgroups. Since Athena workgroups are used to manage query access and control costs, data engineers and data analysts can save time by reusing Athena workgroups as their SQL analytics compute while maintaining data usage limits and tracking query usage by team or project. When choosing a compute for SQL analytics within SageMaker Unified Studio, customers can create a new Athena compute connection or choose to connect to an existing Athena workgroup. To get started, navigate to SageMaker Unified Studio, select “Add compute” and choose “Connect to existing compute resources”. Then create a connection to your pre-existing Athena workgroups and save. This new compute is now available within the SageMaker Unified Studio query editor to run SQL queries. Connecting to Athena workgroups within SageMaker Unified Studio is available in all regions where SageMaker Unified Studio is supported. To learn more, refer to the SageMaker Unified Studio Guide and Athena Workgroups Guide.

New Amazon CloudWatch metrics to monitor EC2 instances exceeding I/O performance

Today, Amazon announced two new Amazon CloudWatch metrics that provide insight into when your application exceeds the I/O performance limits for your EC2 instance with attached EBS volumes. These two metrics, Instance EBS IOPS Exceeded Check and Instance EBS Throughput Exceeded Check, monitor if the driven IOPS or throughput is exceeding the maximum EBS IOPS or throughput that your instance can support. With these two new metrics at the instance level, you can quickly identify and respond to application performance issues stemming from exceeding the EBS-Optimized limits of your instance. These metrics will return a value of 0 (performance not exceeded) or a 1 (performance exceeded) when your workload is exceeding the EBS-Optimized IOPS or throughput limit of the EC2 instance. With Amazon CloudWatch, you can use these new metrics to create customized dashboards and set alarms that notify you or automatically perform actions based on these metrics, such as moving to a larger instance size or a different instance type that supports higher EBS-Optimized limits. The Instance EBS IOPS Exceeded Check and Instance EBS Throughput Exceeded Check metrics are available by default at a 1-minute frequency at no additional charges, for all Nitro-based Amazon EC2 instances with EBS volumes attached. You can access these metrics via the EC2 console, CLI, or CloudWatch API in all Commercial AWS Regions, including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and China Regions. To learn more about these CloudWatch metrics, please visit the EC2 CloudWatch Metrics documentation.

Aurora DSQL now supports resource-based policies

Amazon Aurora DSQL now supports resource-based policies, enabling you to simplify access control for your Aurora DSQL resources. With resource-based policies, you can specify Identity and Access Management (IAM) principals and the specific IAM actions they can perform against your Aurora DSQL resources. Resource-based policies also enable you to implement Block Public Access (BPA), which helps to further restrict access to your Aurora DSQL public or VPC endpoints. Aurora DSQL support for resource-based policies is available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Paris), and Europe (Frankfurt). To get started, visit the Aurora DSQL resource-based policies documentation.

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling now supports predictive scaling in six more regions

Customers can now enable predictive scaling for their Auto Scaling groups (ASGs) in six more regions: Asia Pacific (Hyderabad), Asia Pacific (Melbourne), Israel (Tel Aviv), Canada West (Calgary), Europe (Spain), and Europe (Zurich). Predictive Scaling can proactively scale out your ASGs to be ready for upcoming demand. This allows you to avoid the need to over-provision capacity, resulting in lower EC2 cost, while ensuring your application’s responsiveness. To see the list of all supported AWS public regions and AWS GovCloud (US) regions, click here. Predictive Scaling is appropriate for applications that experience recurring patterns of steep demand changes, such as early morning spikes when business resumes. It learns from the past patterns and launches instances in advance of predicted demand, giving instances time to warm up. Predictive scaling enhances existing Auto Scaling policies, such as Target Tracking or Simple Scaling, so that your applications scale based on both real-time metrics and historic patterns. You can preview how Predictive Scaling works with your ASG by using the “Forecast Only” mode. Predictive Scaling is available as a scaling policy type through AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), EC2 Auto Scaling Management Console, AWS CloudFormation and AWS SDKs. To learn more, visit the Predictive Scaling page in the EC2 Auto Scaling documentation.

Amazon Quick Sight announces the general availability of a new data preparation experience

Amazon Quick Sight, a capability of Amazon Quick Suite, now offers a visual data preparation experience that helps business users perform advanced data transformations without writing complex code. Users can now clean, transform, and combine data in multi-step workflows—appending tables, aggregating data, executing flexible joins, and other advanced operations that previously required custom programming or SQL commands. Users can easily track data transformations step-by-step, enhancing traceability and shareability. With the ability to utilize datasets as a source expanded from 3 to 10 levels, teams can build reusable transformation logic that cascades across departments. For instance, centralized data analysts can now prepare foundational data sets that can then be further customized by regional business users, applying territory-specific calculations and business logic with simple clicks. The enhanced experience now also supports 20X larger cross-source joins, moving from a previous capacity of 1GB to 20GB today. This feature is available to Quick Sight Author and Author Pro customers in the following regions: US East (N.Virginia and Ohio), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), South America (Sao Paulo), Europe (Frankfurt, Milan, Paris, Spain, Stockholm, Ireland, London, Zurich), Africa (Cape Town), Middle East (UAE), Israel (Tel Aviv), Asia Pacific (Jakarta, Mumbai, Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, Sydney), AWS GovCloud (US-West, US- East) and to Quick Suite Enterprise subscribers in US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Sydney), and Europe (Ireland). For more details, read our documentation here.
