Amazon FSx for OpenZFS Intelligent-Tiering storage class is now available in 8 additional AWS Regions

You can now create Amazon FSx for OpenZFS file systems with the Intelligent-Tiering storage class in 8 additional AWS Regions across the US, Europe, Asia Pacific, and South America.
FSx Intelligent-Tiering is built for general-purpose file workloads such as file shares, archives, media libraries, and migrations from on-premises HDD storage. It automatically moves your data across three storage tiers (Frequent Access, Infrequent Access, and Archive) based on access patterns, and an optional SSD read cache keeps your active data fast. You get high performance for active workloads and low-cost storage for everything else, paying only for what you store with no capacity to manage. With FSx Intelligent-Tiering, you can save up to 85% compared to the FSx SSD storage class and up to 20% compared to on-premises HDD-based NAS.
With this expansion, the FSx Intelligent-Tiering storage class is now available for FSx for OpenZFS file systems in the following additional AWS Regions: US West (N. California), Europe (London, Stockholm, Spain, Zurich), Asia Pacific (Hyderabad, Seoul), and South America (São Paulo). To learn more, visit the FSx Intelligent-Tiering page and the Amazon FSx for OpenZFS product page, and see the FSx for OpenZFS Region Table for complete regional availability information.

AWS Cost and Usage Report 2.0 now supports table configurations update

AWS today announces that AWS Cost and Usage Report 2.0 (CUR 2.0) now supports updates to data table configurations via the AWS Management Console and SDK/CLI. This capability allows customers to modify their existing exports to take advantage of new CUR 2.0 features without having to delete and recreate their exports. Previously, customers configured CUR 2.0 exports with specific table settings — including export content, time granularity, column selection, export format, and destination settings. When AWS introduces new features, such as additional columns and finer row-level granularity, existing export settings intentionally remained unchanged to protect ETL jobs that depended on a stable schema. However, customers who wanted to adopt these new capabilities and were ready for the new schema couldn’t simply update their preference in existing export. They had to delete their existing export and create a new one with the new preference. With this launch, customers can update their table configuration directly through the AWS Management Console or SDK/CLI and begin receiving exports with their updated preferences starting from the next scheduled export delivery. To learn more about this feature, see AWS Data Exports and AWS Billing and Cost Management in the AWS Cost Management User Guide.

Amazon EC2 P6-B200 instances are now available in the AWS GovCloud (US-East) Region

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) P6-B200 instances accelerated by NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs are available in AWS GovCloud (US-East) Region. These instances offer up to 2x performance compared to P5en instances for AI training and inference. P6-B200 instances feature 8 Blackwell GPUs with 1440 GB of high-bandwidth GPU memory and a 60% increase in GPU memory bandwidth compared to P5en, 5th Generation Intel Xeon processors (Emerald Rapids), and up to 3.2 terabits per second of Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFAv4) networking. P6-B200 instances are powered by the AWS Nitro System, so you can reliably and securely scale AI workloads within Amazon EC2 UltraClusters to tens of thousands of GPUs. P6-B200 instances are now available in p6-b200.48xlarge size in the following AWS Regions: US West (Oregon), US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), AWS GovCloud (US-West) and AWS GovCloud (US-East) Region. To learn more about P6-B200 instances, visit Amazon EC2 P6 instances.

Amazon EC2 M9g and M9gd general purpose instances are now available

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) M9g and M9gd instances, powered by AWS Graviton5 processors, are generally available. AWS Graviton5 processors are the fifth generation of custom-designed AWS processors, delivering the best price performance for general purpose workloads running on Amazon EC2.
​​M9g instances serve a broad range of general-purpose workloads including application servers, microservices, gaming, caching, and containers, while also delivering the performance needed for agentic AI use cases like real-time reasoning, code generation, and multi-step orchestration.  
​​M9gd instances offer local NVMe-based SSD block-level storage for customers that require high-speed, low-latency local storage, such as media processing, batch and log processing, and applications that need access to temporary storage including caches and scratch files.​
​​​M9g and M9gd instances deliver up to 25% better compute performance compared to AWS Graviton4-based M8g and M8gd instances. They are up to 30% faster for databases, up to 35% faster for web applications, and up to 35% faster for machine learning. These instances are built on the sixth-generation AWS Nitro System and are the first to feature the Nitro Isolation Engine, harnessing formal verification to provide mathematical assurance that customer workloads are isolated from each other and AWS operators, pioneering a new standard for mathematically proven cloud security​​.
M9g and M9gd instances are available in US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (Oregon), and EU (Frankfurt) regions. M9g and M9gd instances are available for purchase via Savings Plans, On-Demand, Spot instances, Dedicated instances, or Dedicated hosts.
Level up your compute with AWS Graviton and get started today.
