AWS RTB Fabric now supports configurable Availability Zone affinity

AWS RTB Fabric now supports configurable Availability Zone (AZ) affinity for responder gateways. With this capability, you can configure how your partners connect to your responder gateway: either in their own Availability Zone or to any Availability Zone that the gateway spans. This launch helps advertising technology (AdTech) companies use their infrastructure more efficiently—with no extra charges on RTB Fabric.
Demand-side platforms (DSPs) and supply-side platforms (SSPs) run their bidding systems across multiple Availability Zones. Previously, AWS RTB Fabric sent each request to available gateway capacity in the requester’s own Availability Zone (AZ), so capacity in other AZs could go unused. Now you can set a client routing policy to control this: prefer the requester’s own AZ to avoid added latency of crossing a boundary, or use every AZ that the responder gateway spans to give each requester access to more gateway capacity. Configurable Availability Zone affinity is available in all AWS Regions where AWS RTB Fabric is available. See the AWS RTB Fabric User Guide for fleet requirements before enabling.
AWS RTB Fabric helps you connect with your AdTech partners such as Amazon Ads, GumGum, Kargo, MobileFuse, Sovrn, TripleLift, Viant, Yieldmo, and more in three steps while delivering single-digit millisecond latency through a private, high-performance network environment. RTB Fabric reduces standard cloud networking costs by up to 80% and does not require upfront commitments. AWS RTB Fabric is generally available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt), and Europe (Ireland). See the AWS RTB Fabric Product Page to learn more.

Amazon ECS Express Mode now supports AWS Graviton (ARM64) workloads

Amazon Elastic Container Service Express Mode now supports specifying ARM64 as the CPU architecture for your service, making it easy to deploy ARM-based container images on AWS Graviton-powered compute and benefit from up to 40% better price-performance compared to x86-based instances.
Amazon ECS Express Mode makes it easy to rapidly launch containerized applications, including web applications and APIs, by orchestrating and managing the cloud architecture for your application. You provide your container image, and ECS Express Mode handles the rest, configuring networking, load balancing, auto scaling, and deployments, and providing your application with an auto-generated URL. With ARM64 architecture support, you can choose the compute architecture that fits your workload, whether you’re optimizing for cost with Graviton, matching your existing fleet, or deploying images built natively for ARM.
You can configure the CPU architecture for new and existing Amazon ECS Express Mode services using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, and infrastructure as code (IaC) tools. This capability is available in all AWS commercial Regions and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. To learn more, see the ECS Express Mode documentation.

AWS Continuum now supports credential testing and accessible domain suggestions

AWS Continuum for penetration testing is a frontier agent that proactively secures applications throughout the development lifecycle by offering on-demand, customized penetration testing with real exploitability testing. Developers and security teams can now test login credentials and receive suggested domains before a penetration test runs. This makes it easier to configure an accurate network scope from the start, reducing misconfiguration and wasted test cycles.
Previously, identifying all the URLs your application reaches required manual effort, and authentication failures were only discovered after a full test cycle completed, costing time and resources. With this launch, when you add login credentials during test configuration, AWS Continuum authenticates into your application exactly as a real user would, capturing every accessible domain reached during login and surfacing them as in-scope URL suggestions. You can review accessible domains, validate credentials, and confirm the agent covers the right endpoints, all before the real test begins. Accessible domains are returned regardless of whether the credential test succeeds, fails, or times out. You can learn more about this feature in our updated documentaiton.
This capability is available in all regions where AWS Continuum for penetration testing is available and is detailed on the AWS Continuum product page.

Introducing Amazon EC2 T8i instances

AWS is announcing the general availability of new low-cost burstable Amazon EC2 T8i instances. These instances are powered by custom sixth generation Intel Xeon 6 processors, available exclusively on AWS, and built on the latest sixth generation AWS Nitro cards. T8i instances deliver up to 30% better price performance compared to previous generation T3 instances, and offer four sizes: nano, micro, small, and medium. These instances are designed for workloads requiring low to moderate CPU utilization, including data processing, login gateways, small databases, batch processing, event driven functions, CI/CD pipelines, microservices, and low traffic websites.  
T8i instances deliver up to 70% higher compute performance, 1.25x higher network bandwidth, and 2.4x higher EBS bandwidth compared to T3 instances. They use the same CPU credit system as T3 with Standard and Unlimited modes, so existing T3 customers can upgrade to T8i and immediately benefit from better price performance, enabling them to lower their TCO. For customers new to AWS or migrating from on-premises, T8i instances provide one of the most cost-effective entry points to run a variety of workloads.
T8i.micro and T8i.small are available under the AWS Free Tier. T8i instances are available in US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (Oregon, N. California), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London, Paris), Asia Pacific (Hyderabad, Malaysia, Mumbai, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo), and Canada (Central) regions. T8i instances are available to purchase via On-Demand instances, and Spot instances with Savings Plan option coming soon. To learn more, visit the Amazon EC2 T8i instances page.
