Amazon DocumentDB now supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)

Amazon DocumentDB now offers customers the option to use Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses on new and existing clusters. Customers moving to IPv6 can simplify their network stack by running their databases on a dual-stack network that supports both IPv4 and IPv6. IPv6 increases the number of available addresses and customers no longer need to manage overlapping IPv4 address spaces in their VPCs (Virtual Private Cloud). Customers can standardize their applications on the new version of Internet Protocol by moving to dual-stack mode (supporting both IPv4 and IPv6) with a few clicks in the AWS Management Console or directly using the AWS CLI. Amazon DocumentDB is a fully managed, native JSON database that makes it simple and cost-effective to operate critical document workloads at virtually any scale without managing infrastructure. Amazon DocumentDB support for IPv6 is generally available on version 4.0 and 5.0 in AWS Regions listed in Dual-stack mode Region and version availability. To learn more about configuring your environment for IPv6, please refer to Amazon VPC and Amazon DocumentDB.

Amazon EC2 now supports CPU options optimization for license-included instances

Amazon EC2 now allows customers to modify an instance’s CPU options to optimize the licensing costs of Microsoft Windows license-included workloads. You can now customize the number of vCPUs and/or disable hyperthreading on Windows Server and SQL Server license-included instances to save on vCPU-based licensing costs. This enhancement is particularly valuable for database workloads like Microsoft SQL Server that require high memory and IOPS but lower vCPU counts. By modifying CPU options, you can reduce vCPU-based licensing costs while maintaining memory and IOPS performance, achieve higher memory-to-vCPU ratios, and customize CPU settings to match your specific workload requirements. For example, on an r7i.8xlarge instance running Windows and SQL Server license included, you can turn off hyperthreading to reduce the default 32 vCPU count to 16, saving 50% on the licensing costs, while still getting the 256 GiB memory and 40,000 IOPS that come with the instance. This feature is available in all commercial AWS Regions and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. To learn more, see CPU options in the Amazon EC2 User Guide and read this blog post.

Amazon Location Service Introduces New Map Styling Features for Enhanced Customization

Today, AWS announced enhanced map styling features for Amazon Location Service, enabling users to further customize maps with terrain visualization, contour lines, real-time traffic data, and transportation-specific routing information. Developers can create more detailed and informative maps tailored for various use cases, such as outdoor navigation, logistics planning, and traffic management, by leveraging parameters like terrain, contour-density, traffic, and travel-mode through the GetStyleDescriptor API. With these styling capabilities, users can overlay real-time traffic conditions, visualize transportation-specific routing information such as transit and trucks, and display topographic features through elevation shading. For instance, developers can display current traffic conditions for optimized route planning, show truck-specific routing restrictions for logistics applications, or create maps that highlight physical terrain details for hiking and outdoor activities. Each feature operates seamlessly, providing enhanced map visualization and reliable performance for diverse use cases. These new map styling features are available in the following AWS Regions: US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Stockholm), Europe (Spain), and South America (São Paulo).

AWS SAM CLI adds Finch support, expanding local development tool options for serverless applications

AWS Serverless Application Model Command Line Interface (SAM CLI) now supports Finch as an alternative to Docker for local development and testing of serverless applications. This gives developers greater flexibility in choosing their preferred local development environment when working with SAM CLI to build and test their serverless applications. Developers building serverless applications spend significant time in their local development environments. SAM CLI is a command-line tool for local development and testing of serverless applications. It allows you to build, test, debug, and package your serverless applications locally before deploying to AWS Cloud. To provide the local development and testing environment for your applications, SAM CLI uses a tool that can run containers on your local device. Previously, SAM CLI only supported Docker as the tool for running containers locally. Starting today, SAM CLI also supports Finch as a container development tool. Finch is an open-source tool, developed and supported by AWS, for local container development. This means you can now choose between Docker and Finch as your preferred container tool for local development when working with SAM CLI. You can use SAM CLI to invoke Lambda functions locally, test API endpoints, and debug your serverless applications with the same experience you would have in the AWS Cloud. With Finch support, SAM CLI now automatically detects and uses Finch as the container development tool when Docker is not available. You can also set Finch as your preferred container tool for SAM CLI. This new feature supports all core SAM CLI commands including sam build, sam local invoke, sam local start-api, and sam local start-lambda. To learn more about using SAM CLI with Finch, visit the SAM CLI developer guide.
