Amazon EC2 I7i instances now available in additional AWS regions

Amazon Web Services (AWS) announces the availability of high performance Storage Optimized Amazon EC2 I7i instances in AWS Asia Pacific (Singapore, Jakarta), Europe (Stockholm) regions. Powered by 5th generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with an all-core turbo frequency of 3.2 GHz, these instances deliver up to 23% better compute performance and more than 10% better price performance over previous generation I4i instances. Powered by 3rd generation AWS Nitro SSDs, I7i instances offer up to 45TB of NVMe storage with up to 50% better real-time storage performance, up to 50% lower storage I/O latency, and up to 60% lower storage I/O latency variability compared to I4i instances. I7i instances are ideal for I/O intensive and latency-sensitive workloads that demand very high random IOPS performance with real-time latency to access small to medium size datasets (multi-TBs). I7i instances support torn write prevention feature with up to 16KB block sizes, enabling customers to eliminate database performance bottlenecks. I7i instances are available in eleven sizes – nine virtual sizes up to 48xlarge and two bare metal sizes – delivering up to 100Gbps of network bandwidth and 60Gbps of Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) bandwidth.

Amazon Cognito identity pools now support private connectivity with AWS PrivateLink

Amazon Cognito identity pools now support AWS PrivateLink, enabling you to securely exchange federated identities for AWS credentials through private connectivity between your virtual private cloud (VPC) and Cognito. This eliminates the need to route authentication traffic over the public internet, providing enhanced security for your workloads. Identity pools map authenticated and guest identities to your AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles and provide temporary AWS credentials, with this new feature, through a secure and private connection. You can use PrivateLink connections in all AWS Regions where Amazon Cognito identity pools are available, except AWS China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. Creating VPC endpoints on AWS PrivateLink will incur additional charges; refer to AWS PrivateLink pricing page for details. You can get started by creating an AWS PrivateLink VPC interface endpoint for Amazon Cognito identity pools using the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), AWS Software Development Kits (SDKs), AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK), or AWS CloudFormation. To learn more, refer to the documentation on creating a VPC interface endpoint and Amazon Cognito’s developer guide.

Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser introduces Web Content Filtering

Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser now includes Web Content Filtering, a comprehensive security and compliance feature that enables organizations to control and monitor web content access. This new capability allows administrators to define granular access policies, block specific URLs or entire domain categories using 25+ predefined categories, and seamlessly integrate with Session Logger for enhanced monitoring and compliance reporting. While existing Chrome policies for domain control remain supported, Web Content Filtering provides a more comprehensive way to control web access through category-based filtering and improved logging capabilities. Organizations can better manage their remote work security and compliance requirements through centralized policy management that scales across the enterprise. IT security teams can implement default-deny policies for high-security environments, while compliance officers benefit from detailed logging and monitoring capabilities. The feature maintains flexibility by allowing customized policies and exceptions based on specific business needs. This feature is available at no additional cost in 10 AWS Regions, including US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt, London, Ireland), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo, Mumbai, Sydney, Singapore). WorkSpaces Secure Browser offers pay-as-you go pricing. To get started with WorkSpaces Secure Browser, see Getting Started with Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser. You can enable this feature in your AWS console and automatically migrate any browser policies for URL Blocklists or URL Allowlists. To learn more about the feature, please refer to the feature documentation.

Amazon CloudWatch SDK supports optimized JSON, CBOR protocols

Amazon CloudWatch announces support for both the JSON and Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) protocols in the CloudWatch SDK, enabling lower latency and improved performance for CloudWatch customers. The SDK will automatically use JSON or CBOR as its new default communication protocol, offering customers a lower end-to-end processing latency as well as reduced payload sizes, application client side CPU, and memory usage. Customers use the CloudWatch SDK either directly or through Infrastructure as Code solutions to manage their monitoring resources. Reducing control plane operations latency and payload size helps customer optimize their operational maintenance and resources usage and costs. JSON and the CBOR data formats are standards designed to enable better performance over the traditional AWS Query protocol. The CloudWatch SDK for JSON and CBOR protocols support is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon CloudWatch is available and for all generally available AWS SDK language variants. To leverage the performance improvements, customers can install the latest SDK version here. To learn more about the AWS SDK, see Amazon Developer tools.
