Amazon EC2 R7gd instances are now available in Europe (Paris) Region

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) R7gd instances with up to 3.8 TB of local NVMe-based SSD block-level storage are available in Europe (Paris) Region. R7gd are powered by AWS Graviton3 processors with DDR5 memory are built on the AWS Nitro System. They are ideal for memory-intensive workloads such as open-source databases, in-memory caches, and real-time big data analytics and are a great fit for applications that need access to high-speed, low latency local storage, including those that need temporary storage of data for scratch space, temporary files, and caches.  To learn more, see Amazon R7gd Instances.

Amazon EKS and Amazon EKS Distro now supports Kubernetes version 1.35

Kubernetes version 1.35 introduced several new features and bug fixes, and AWS is excited to announce that you can now use Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and Amazon EKS Distro to run Kubernetes version 1.35. Starting today, you can create new EKS clusters using version 1.35 and upgrade existing clusters to version 1.35 using the EKS console, the eksctl command line interface, or through an infrastructure-as-code tool. Kubernetes version 1.35 introduces several key improvements, including In-Place Pod Resource Updates allowing CPU and memory adjustments without restarting Pods, and PreferSameNode Traffic Distribution prioritizing local endpoints before routing to remote nodes for reduced latency. The release brings Node Topology Labels via Downward API enabling Pods to access region and zone information without API server queries, alongside Image Volumes delivering data artifacts like AI models using OCI container images. To learn more about the changes in Kubernetes version 1.35, see our documentation and the Kubernetes project release notes. EKS now supports Kubernetes version 1.35 in all the AWS Regions where EKS is available, including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. You can learn more about the Kubernetes versions available on EKS and instructions to update your cluster to version 1.35 by visiting EKS documentation. You can use EKS cluster insights to check if there are any issues that can impact your Kubernetes cluster upgrades. EKS Distro builds of Kubernetes version 1.35 are available through ECR Public Gallery and GitHub. Learn more about the EKS version lifecycle policies in the documentation.
