Aurora DSQL launches new connectors that simplify building .NET and Rust applications

Today we are announcing the release of Aurora DSQL connectors for .NET (Npgsql) and Rust (SQLx) that make it easy to build .NET and Rust applications on Aurora DSQL. The connectors streamline authentication and eliminate security risks associated with traditional user-generated passwords by automatically generating tokens for each connection, ensuring valid tokens are always used while maintaining full compatibility with existing Npgsql and SQLx features. The connectors handle IAM token generation, SSL configuration, and connection pooling, enabling customers to scale from simple scripts to production workloads without changing their authentication approach. They also provide opt-in optimistic concurrency control (OCC) retry with exponential backoff, custom IAM credential providers, and AWS profile support, making it easier to develop client retry logic and manage AWS credentials. To get started, visit the Connectors for Aurora DSQL documentation page. For code examples, visit our GitHub pages for the .NET connector and Rust connector. Get started with Aurora DSQL for free with the AWS Free Tier. To learn more about Aurora DSQL, visit the webpage.

AWS Deadline Cloud now supports new fleet scaling configurations for render farms

Today, AWS Deadline Cloud introduces three powerful new fleet scaling options that give you greater flexibility in managing your render farm capacity and performance: worker idle duration, standby worker count, and scale out rate. AWS Deadline Cloud is a fully managed service that helps creative teams efficiently manage and scale their rendering workloads in the cloud. These new options give you direct control over balancing rendering speed and efficiency. Configurable worker idle duration allows you to specify how long workers remain available after completing a job, eliminating wait times between job submissions and speeding up artist’s iteration workflow. Standby worker count maintains a pool of pre-warmed, idle workers that are immediately available at job submission so your renders start right away. Scale out rate lets you configure how quickly your fleet scales, up to 500 workers per minute, giving you the control you need to match your infrastructure needs.
These flexible scaling controls are now available in AWS Deadline Cloud. To learn more, visit the AWS Deadline Cloud documentation.

AWS HealthOmics introduces VPC-connected workflows

AWS HealthOmics announces VPC-connected workflows, giving customers the ability to run bioinformatics pipelines that access AWS resources across regions and public internet resources through a customer’s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). With this launch, life sciences customers no longer need to migrate their data and dependencies to the same AWS Region as their workflow before running analyses. AWS HealthOmics is a HIPAA-eligible service that helps accelerate scientific breakthroughs at scale with fully managed bioinformatics workflows.
This launch enables life sciences customers to develop and test bioinformatics workflows more quickly. Customers can design workflows that access publicly-hosted data sets as well as AWS resources in different regions without making changes to the workflow code or migrating data between regions. Customers can use new Configuration APIs to specify a VPC configured to access public internet resources to which HealthOmics can send and receive network traffic, making it easy to use different network configurations for different use cases. With Configuration APIs, you can add and remove public internet dependencies anytime. Networking settings are configured at the per-run level, allowing you to opt-in only the workflows that you want to be VPC connected. 
VPC-connected workflows are now available in all regions where AWS HealthOmics is available: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London), Israel (Tel Aviv), Asia Pacific (Singapore), and Asia Pacific (Seoul). To learn more about connecting workflows to your VPC, see the HealthOmics documentation.
