Amazon CloudWatch Agent adds support for NVMe Local Volume Performance Statistics

Amazon CloudWatch agent now supports the collection of detailed performance metrics for NVMe local volumes on Amazon EC2 instances. These metrics give you insights into behavior and performance characteristics of your NVMe local storage. The CloudWatch agent can now be configured to collect and send detailed NVMe metrics to CloudWatch, providing deeper visibility into storage performance. The new metrics include comprehensive performance indicators such as queue depths, I/O sizes, and device utilization. These metrics are similar to the detailed performance statistics available for EBS volumes, providing a consistent monitoring experience across both storage types. You can create CloudWatch dashboards, set alarms, and analyze trends for your NVMe-based instance store volumes. Detailed performance statistics for Amazon EC2 instance store volumes via Amazon CloudWatch agent are available for all local NVMe volumes attached to Nitro-based EC2 instances in all AWS Commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. See the Amazon CloudWatch pricing page for CloudWatch pricing details. To get started with detailed performance statistics for Amazon EC2 instance store volumes in CloudWatch, see Collect Amazon EC2 instance store volume NVMe driver metrics in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide. To learn more about detailed performance statistics for Amazon EC2 instance store volumes, see Amazon EC2 instance store volumes in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

Amazon Cognito removes Machine-to-Machine app client price dimension

We’re excited to announce a simplified pricing model for Amazon Cognito’s machine-to-machine (M2M) authentication. Starting today we are removing the M2M app client pricing dimension, making it more cost-effective for customers to build and scale their M2M applications. Cognito supports applications that access API data with machine identities. Machine identities in user pools are clients that run on application servers and connect to remote APIs. Their operation happens without user interaction such as scheduled tasks, data streams, or asset updates. This change reduces the pricing of Cognito for customers using M2M authentication by removing the app client price dimension. Customers will continue to be charged based on the number of successful M2M token requests per month. Previously, customers were charged for each M2M app client registered, regardless of usage amount, and each successful token request made by the app client to access a resource. With this change, customers will only pay for their successful token requests, making it more cost-effective to build and scale M2M applications using Amazon Cognito. This pricing change is automatic and requires no action from customers. It is effective in all supported Amazon Cognito regions. To learn more about Amazon Cognito pricing, visit our pricing page.
