Amazon CloudWatch Logs now supports increased default API quotas. The default quota for ingesting logs has increased from 1,500 to 5,000 Transactions Per Second (TPS) in select regions. The increased quotas are available automatically with no changes required.

Amazon ElastiCache for Redis encryption at rest is now available in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions (encryption at rest is already available in all commercial regions). Customers are increasingly moving sensitive workloads to Amazon ElastiCache for Redis, such as financial and healthcare data, whose compliance regulations mandate data encryption. You can now enable encryption at rest in AWS GovCloud (US) regions using either the default (service managed) encryption at rest or your own symmetric customer managed AWS KMS keys in AWS Key Management Service (KMS) . When you enable encryption at rest, Amazon ElastiCache for Redis encrypts all data on disk including service backups stored in Amazon S3. 

Amazon DataZone is used by customers to catalog, discover, analyze, share, and govern data at scale across organizational boundaries with governance and access controls. Today, AWS announces the general availability of a new generative AI-based capability in Amazon DataZone to improve data discovery, data understanding and data usage by enriching the business data catalog. With a single click, data producers can generate comprehensive business data descriptions and context, highlight impactful columns, and include recommendations on analytical use cases. 

Starting today, you can monitor your AWS Global Accelerator resources using five new Amazon CloudWatch metrics: ActiveFlowCount, PacketsProcessed, TCP_AGA_Reset_Count, TCP_Client_Reset_Count, and TCP_Endpoint_Reset_Count. With these metrics, you can monitor the total number of active TCP or UDP flows between your application’s clients and your accelerator endpoints, the total numbers of packets processed for an accelerator, and the total number of resets generated by Global Accelerator, the client, and the endpoint behind an accelerator. You can create CloudWatch alarms with the five new metrics to more quickly and easily detect issues with your accelerator endpoints.

AWS now allows customers to enable Cost Allocation Tags retroactively for up to 12 months. As long as customers have added tags to specific resources in the past, customers can activate (or deactivate) cost allocation tags today and apply cost allocation tags to historical usage for these resources for up to 12 months.

Amazon ElastiCache Serverless adds more control over scaling the cache, by enabling customers to set a minimum limit for data storage and request rate. With ElastiCache Serverless, you can create a highly available and scalable cache in less than a minute by just specifying a name. ElastiCache Serverless automatically scales to accommodate your workload’s fluctuating traffic patterns. Now, you can pre-scale a serverless cache for anticipated scaling events by setting a minimum usage limit for data storage or request rate.

Today, Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) announced a new, improved version of its basic scanning feature in preview. The new version of ECR basic scanning uses Amazon’s native scanning technology, which is designed to provide customers with improved scanning results and vulnerability detection across a broad set of popular operating systems. This allows customers to further strengthen the security of their container images.

Amazon DynamoDB Import from S3 now supports up to 50,000 Amazon S3 objects in a single bulk import. With the increased default service quota for import from S3, customers who need to bulk import a large number of Amazon S3 objects, can now run a single import to ingest up to 50,000 S3 objects, removing the need to consolidate S3 objects prior to running a bulk import.
