Amazon ECS Managed Instances now supports Amazon EC2 Spot Instances

Amazon ECS Managed Instances now supports Amazon EC2 Spot Instances, extending the range of capabilities available with AWS-managed infrastructure. With this launch, you can leverage spare EC2 capacity at up to 90% discount compared to On-Demand prices for fault-tolerant workloads, while AWS handles infrastructure management. ECS Managed Instances is a fully managed compute option designed to eliminate infrastructure management overhead, dynamically scale EC2 instances to match your workload requirements and continuously optimize task placement to reduce infrastructure costs. You can simply define your task requirements such as the number of vCPUs, memory size, and CPU architecture, and Amazon ECS automatically provisions, configures and operates most optimal EC2 instances within your AWS account using AWS-controlled access. You can also specify desired instance types in Managed Instances capacity provider configuration, including GPU-accelerated, network-optimized, and burstable performance, to run your workloads on the instance families you prefer. With today’s launch, you can additionally configure a new parameter, capacityOptionType, as spot or on-demand in your capacity provider configuration. Support for EC2 Spot Instances is available in all AWS Regions that Amazon ECS Managed Instances is available. You will be charged for the management of compute provisioned, in addition to your spot Amazon EC2 costs. To learn more about ECS Managed Instances, visit the feature page, documentation, and AWS News launch blog.

Amazon EC2 now supports Availability Zone ID across its APIs

Amazon EC2 now supports Availability Zone ID (AZ ID) parameter, enabling you to create and manage resources such as instances, volumes, and subnets using consistent zone identifiers. AZ IDs are consistent and static identifiers that represent the same physical location across all AWS accounts, helping you optimize resource placement. Prior to this launch, you had to use an AZ name while creating a resource, but these names could map to different physical locations. This mapping made it difficult to ensure resources were always co-located especially when operating with multiple accounts. Now, you can specify the AZ ID parameter directly in your EC2 APIs to guarantee consistent placement of resources. AZ IDs always refer to the same physical location across all accounts, which means you no longer need to manually map AZ names across your accounts or deal with the complexity of tracking and aligning zones. This capability is now available for resources including instances, launch templates, hosts, reserved instances, fleet, spot instances, volumes, capacity reservations, network insights, VPC endpoints and subnets, network interfaces, fast snapshot restore, and instance connect. This feature is available in all AWS regions including China and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. To learn more about Availability Zone IDs, visit the documentation.
