Amazon EC2 I8g instances now available in additional AWS regions

AWS is announcing the general availability of Amazon EC2 Storage Optimized I8g instances in Europe (Stockholm) and Asia Pacific (Osaka) regions. I8g instances offer the best compute performance in Amazon EC2 for storage-intensive workloads. I8g instances use the latest third generation AWS Nitro SSDs, local NVMe storage that deliver up to 65% better real-time storage performance per TB while offering up to 50% lower storage I/O latency and up to 60% lower storage I/O latency variability compared to I4g instances. These instances are built on the AWS Nitro System, which offloads CPU virtualization, storage, and networking functions to dedicated hardware and software enhancing the performance and security for your workloads. Amazon EC2 I8g instances are designed for I/O intensive workloads that require rapid data access and real-time latency from storage. These instances excel at handling transactional, real-time, distributed databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Hbase and NoSQL solutions like Aerospike, MongoDB, ClickHouse, and Apache Druid. They’re also optimized for real-time analytics platforms such as Apache Spark, data lakehouse and AI LLM pre-processing for training. I8g instances are available in 10 different sizes with up to 48xlarge including one metal size, 1.5 TiB of memory, and 45 TB local instance storage. They deliver up to 100 Gbps of network performance bandwidth, and 60 Gbps of dedicated bandwidth for Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS). To learn more, visit Amazon EC2 I8g instances.

AWS IoT Core adds location resolution capabilities for Amazon Sidewalk enabled devices

AWS IoT Core Device Location announces location resolution capabilities for Internet of Things (IoT) devices connected to Amazon Sidewalk network, enabling developers to build asset tracking and geo-fencing applications more efficiently by eliminating the need for GPS hardware in low-power devices. Amazon Sidewalk provides a secure community network through Amazon Sidewalk Gateways (compatible Amazon Echo and Ring devices) to deliver cloud connectivity for IoT devices. AWS IoT Core for Amazon Sidewalk facilitates connectivity and message transmission between Amazon Sidewalk-connected IoT devices and AWS cloud services. The integration of Amazon Sidewalk with AWS IoT Core, enables you to easily provision, onboard, and monitor your Amazon Sidewalk devices in the AWS cloud. With the new enhancement, you can now use AWS IoT Core’s Device Location feature to resolve the approximate location of your Amazon Sidewalk enabled devices, using input payloads like WiFi access point, Global Navigation Satellite System data, or Bluetooth Low Energy data. AWS IoT Core Device Location uses these inputs to resolve the geo-coordinate data, and delivers the geo-coordinate data to your desired AWS IoT rules or MQTT topics for integration with backend applications. To get started, install Sidewalk SDK v1.19 (or a later version) in your Sidewalk-enabled devices, provision the devices in AWS IoT Core for Amazon Sidewalk, and enable location during the provisioning. This new feature is available in AWS US-East (N. Virginia) Region of AWS cloud where AWS IoT Core for Amazon Sidewalk is available. Please note that Amazon Sidewalk network is available only in the United States of America. For more information, refer AWS developer guide, Amazon Sidewalk developer guide, and Amazon Sidewalk network coverage.

AWS Transform automates Landing Zone Accelerator network configuration

AWS Transform for VMware now allows customers to automatically generate network configurations that can be directly imported into the Landing Zone Accelerator on AWS solution (LZA). Building on AWS Transform’s existing support for infrastructure-as-code generation in AWS CloudFormation, AWS CDK, and Terraform formats, this new capability enables automatic transformation of VMware network environments into LZA-compatible network configuration YAML files. The YAML files can be deployed through LZA’s deployment pipeline, streamlining the process of setting up cloud infrastructure. AWS Transform for VMware is an agentic AI service that automates the discovery, planning, and migration of VMware workloads, accelerating infrastructure modernization with increased speed and confidence. Landing Zone Accelerator on AWS solution (LZA) automates the setup of a secure, multi-account AWS environment using AWS best practices. Migrating workloads to AWS traditionally requires you to manually recreate network configurations while maintaining operational and compliance consistency. The service now automates the generation of LZA network configurations, reducing manual effort and deployment time to better manage and govern your multi-account environment. The LZA configuration generation capability is available in all AWS Transform target Regions.
To learn more, visit the AWS Transform for VMware product page, read the user guide, or get started in the AWS Transform web experience.

AWS Site-to-Site VPN announces 5 Gbps bandwidth tunnels

AWS Site-to-Site VPN now supports VPN connections with up to 5 Gbps bandwidth per tunnel, a 4x improvement from existing limit of 1.25 Gbps. This increased bandwidth benefits customers who require high-capacity connections for bandwidth-intensive hybrid applications, big data migrations, and disaster recovery architectures while maintaining traffic encryption between AWS and their remote sites. Customers can also use 5 Gbps VPN connections as a backup or overlay for their high capacity AWS Direct Connect connections. AWS Site-to-Site VPN is a fully managed service that allows you to create a secure connection between your data center or branch office and your AWS resources using IP Security (IPSec) tunnels. Until now, Site-to-Site VPN supported a maximum of 1.25Gbps bandwidth per tunnel and customers had to rely on ECMP (Equal cost multi path) to logically bond multiple tunnels to achieve higher bandwidth. With this launch, customers can now configure their tunnel bandwidth to 5 Gbps, reducing the need to deploy complex protocols such as ECMP while ensuring consistent bandwidth performance. This capability is available in all AWS commercial Regions and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where AWS Site-to-Site VPN is available, except Asia Pacific (Melbourne), Israel (Tel Aviv), Europe (Zurich), Canada West (Calgary), and Middle East (UAE) Regions. To learn more and get started, visit the AWS Site-to-Site VPN documentation.

Amazon Connect Cases adds conditional field visibility and dependent options

Amazon Connect Cases now supports conditional field visibility and dependent field options, so you can simplify case layouts and ensure agents capture the right information faster. For example, you can show a Return Reason field only when the case involves a return, and limit Issue Type choices to hardware-related options when Issue Category is set to Hardware. Amazon Connect Cases is available in the following AWS regions: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (London), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), and Africa (Cape Town) AWS regions. To learn more and get started, visit the Amazon Connect Cases webpage and documentation.
