Amazon EC2 C7i instances are now available in the Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) Region

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C7i instances powered by custom 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (code-named Sapphire Rapids) are available in the Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) Region. C7i instances are supported by custom Intel processors, available only on AWS. C7i instances deliver up to 15% better price-performance versus C6i instances and are a great choice for all compute-intensive workloads, such as batch processing, distributed analytics, ad-serving, and video encoding. C7i instances offer larger instance sizes, up to 48xlarge, and two bare metal sizes (metal-24xl, metal-48xl). These bare-metal sizes support built-in Intel accelerators: Data Streaming Accelerator, In-Memory Analytics Accelerator, and QuickAssist Technology that are used to facilitate efficient offload and acceleration of data operations and optimize performance for workloads. C7i instances support new Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) that accelerate matrix multiplication operations for applications such as CPU-based ML. Customers can attach up to 128 EBS volumes to a C7i instance vs. up to 28 EBS volumes to a C6i instance. This allows processing of larger amounts of data, scale workloads, and improved performance over C6i instances. To learn more, visit Amazon EC2 C7i Instances.

Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL now supports integration with Kiro powers

Today, AWS announces Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition integration with Kiro powers, enabling developers to build Aurora PostgreSQL backed applications faster with AI agent-assisted development using Kiro. Kiro powers is a repository of curated and pre-packaged Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, steering files, and hooks validated by Kiro partners to accelerate specialized software development and deployment use cases. Kiro power for Aurora PostgreSQL packages the MCP server with targeted database development guidance, giving the Kiro agent instant expertise in Aurora PostgreSQL operations and schema design. Kiro power for Aurora PostgreSQL bundles direct database connectivity through the Aurora PostgreSQL MCP server for data plane operations (queries, table creation, schema management), and control plane operations (cluster creation) and the steering file with Aurora PostgreSQL–specific best practices. When developers work on database tasks, the power dynamically loads relevant guidance – whether creating new Aurora clusters, designing schemas, or optimizing queries – so AI agents receive only the context needed for the specific task at hand. Aurora PostgreSQL power is available within Kiro IDE and Kiro powers webpage for one-click installation and can create and manage Aurora PostgreSQL clusters in all AWS Regions. For more information about development use cases, read this blog post. To learn more about Aurora PostgreSQL MCP server, visit our documentation. Amazon Aurora is designed for unparalleled high performance and availability at global scale with full PostgreSQL compatibility. It provides built-in security, continuous backups, serverless compute, up to 15 read replicas, and automated multi-Region replication.
