Amazon EC2 C8a instances now available in the Asia Pacific (Tokyo) region

Starting today, the compute-optimized Amazon EC2 C8a instances are available in the Asia Pacific (Tokyo) region. C8a instances are powered by 5th Gen AMD EPYC processors (formerly code named Turin) with a maximum frequency of 4.5 GHz, delivering up to 30% higher performance and up to 19% better price-performance compared to C7a instances. C8a instances deliver 33% more memory bandwidth compared to C7a instances, making these instances ideal for latency sensitive workloads. Compared to Amazon EC2 C7a instances, they are up to 57% faster for GroovyJVM allowing better response times for Java-based applications. C8a instances offer 12 sizes including 2 bare metal sizes. This range of instance sizes allows customers to precisely match their workload requirements. C8a instances are built on AWS Nitro System and are ideal for high performance, compute-intensive workloads such as batch processing, distributed analytics, high performance computing (HPC), ad serving, highly-scalable multiplayer gaming, and video encoding. To get started, sign in to the AWS Management Console. Customers can purchase these instances via Savings Plans, On-Demand instances, and Spot instances.

Amazon ECR now supports pull through cache for Chainguard

Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) pull through cache now supports Chainguard’s registry as an upstream source. With today’s release, customers now benefit from the security and availability of Amazon ECR for private Chainguard images. As customers continue to scale their use of Chainguard images, keeping them synchronized with Chainguard’s registry becomes increasingly important. With ECR’s pull through cache feature, customers can keep Chainguard images in sync without additional workflows or tools to manage. Amazon ECR’s pull through cache supports frequent registry syncs, helping to keep container images sourced from Chainguard up to date. Later, customers can apply ECR features such as image scanning and lifecycle policies to their cached Chainguard images. The pull through cache for Chainguard is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon ECR pull through cache is supported. To get started, review our documentation.

AWS Blu Insights is now AWS Transform for mainframe refactor

AWS Blu Insights capabilities are now available as part of AWS Transform, enabling customers to launch mainframe refactoring projects from the AWS Transform console. This launch unifies all three mainframe modernization patterns — refactor, replatform, and reimagine — within AWS Transform for mainframe. Code transformation is now offered at no cost, replacing the previous lines-of-code based pricing model. With this launch, you can access AWS Transform for mainframe refactor directly from the AWS Transform console using your existing AWS credentials. The mandatory three-level certification requirement to access the Transformation Center has been removed, lowering the friction to exploring refactor projects. Self-paced training content remains available within the application for those who want to build deeper knowledge. AWS Transform for mainframe refactor is available in 18 AWS Regions. In regions where AWS Transform for mainframe is not yet available, you can continue to access the service through the AWS Mainframe Modernization console. To get started, visit the AWS Transform for mainframe refactor user guide.
