Announcing compute-optimized instance bundles for Amazon Lightsail

Amazon Lightsail now offers compute-optimized instance bundles with up to 72 vCPUs. The new instance bundles are available in 7 sizes with both IPv6-only and dual-stack networking types. All Lightsail blueprints are supported with compute-optimized instance bundles, including Linux and Windows operating system (OS) and application blueprints. You can create instances using the new bundles with pre-configured OS and application blueprints including WordPress, cPanel & WHM, Plesk, Drupal, Magento, MEAN, LAMP, Node.js, Ruby on Rails, Amazon Linux, Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, AlmaLinux, and Windows.
The new compute-optimized instances enable you to run compute-intensive workloads that require high CPU. These high-performance instances deliver consistent, dedicated CPU performance ensuring your applications always have the full processing power they need. These new instance bundles are ideal for workloads such as batch processing, distributed analytics, high-performance web servers, scientific modeling, dedicated gaming servers, ad serving engines, video encoding, and CPU-intensive machine learning inference applications.
Amazon Lightsail is available in 15 AWS Regions including US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (London), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), and Asia Pacific (Jakarta). To get started, visit the Lightsail console. For pricing and other details, visit the Amazon Lightsail pricing.

AWS Deadline Cloud now supports configurable job scheduling modes for queues

Today, AWS Deadline Cloud announces support for configurable job scheduling modes, giving you control over how workers are distributed across jobs in a queue. AWS Deadline Cloud is a fully managed service that simplifies render management for computer-generated 2D/3D graphics and visual effects for films, TV shows, commercials, games, and industrial design. Previously, all available workers were assigned to the highest-priority, earliest-submitted job first, which could delay feedback on other submitted jobs. You can now choose from three scheduling modes when creating or updating a queue: priority FIFO (the existing default behavior), priority balanced (workers are distributed evenly across all jobs at the highest priority level), and weighted balanced (jobs are weighted based on configurable parameters including priority, error count, submission time, and rendering task count). Priority balanced and weighted balanced scheduling modes enable artists to get immediate feedback on their submissions without waiting for earlier jobs to complete. Configurable job scheduling modes are available in all AWS Regions where AWS Deadline Cloud is supported. To get started, visit the Deadline Cloud developer guide.

Amazon CloudWatch launches OTel Container Insights for Amazon EKS (Preview)

Amazon CloudWatch introduces Container Insights with OpenTelemetry metrics for Amazon EKS, available in public preview. Building on the existing Container Insights experience, this capability provides deeper visibility into EKS clusters by collecting more metrics from widely adopted open source and AWS collectors and sending them to CloudWatch using the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP). Each metric is automatically enriched with up to 150 descriptive labels, including Kubernetes metadata and customer-defined labels such as team, application, or business unit. Curated dashboards in the Container Insights console present cluster, node, and pod health with the ability to aggregate and filter metrics by instance type, availability zone, node group, or any custom label. For deeper analysis, customers can write queries using the Prometheus Query Language (PromQL) in CloudWatch Query Studio. The CloudWatch Observability EKS add-on provides one-click installation through the Amazon EKS console, or can be deployed through CloudFormation, CDK, or Terraform. The add-on automatically detects accelerated compute hardware including NVIDIA GPUs, Elastic Fabric Adapters, and AWS Trainium and Inferentia accelerators. For existing customers of the add-on, CloudWatch supports publishing both OpenTelemetry and existing Container Insights metrics at the same time. Container Insights with OpenTelemetry metrics is available in public preview in US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Singapore), and Europe (Ireland). There is no charge for OpenTelemetry metrics from Container Insights during preview. To get started, see the Container Insights with OpenTelemetry metrics for Amazon EKS.

Amazon ElastiCache Serverless now supports IPv6 and dual stack connectivity

Amazon ElastiCache Serverless now supports IPv6 and dual stack connectivity, expanding beyond the IPv4 connectivity that was previously available. This gives you greater flexibility in how your applications connect to your Serverless caches.
When creating an ElastiCache Serverless cache, you can now choose from three network type options — IPv4, IPv6, or dual stack. With dual stack connectivity, your cache accepts connections over both IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously, making it ideal for migrating to IPv6 gradually while maintaining backward compatibility with applications connecting over IPv4. IPv6 connectivity enables you to use IPv6-only subnets with your Serverless caches, eliminating the need for IPv4 addresses and helping you meet compliance requirements for IPv6 adoption.
IPv6 and dual stack connectivity for ElastiCache Serverless is available in all AWS Regions, including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and the China Regions, at no additional charge. To learn more, visit the Amazon ElastiCache product page and Choosing a network type for serverless caches in the Amazon ElastiCache documentation.
