Amazon QuickSight is excited to announce the launch of SPICE capacity auto-purchase API. Previously, customers were required to manually turn on SPICE auto-purchase via the console UI. Now with this API enhancement, QuickSight users can programmatically turn on the SPICE capacity auto-purchase, seamlessly integrating it into their adoption and migration pipeline. Once turned on, users don’t need to estimate SPICE usage and manually purchase capacity each time. Instead, they can seamlessly ingest data and use SPICE worry free, as QuickSight will automatically acquire the necessary capacity to meet their usage requirements. For further details, visit here .

The new SPICE capacity auto-purchase API is now available in Amazon QuickSight Enterprise Editions in all QuickSight regions – US East (N. Virginia and Ohio), US West (Oregon), Canada, Sao Paulo, Europe (Frankfurt, Stockholm, Paris, Ireland and London), Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo), and the AWS GovCloud (US-West) Region.

Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) now includes GitLab Container Registry as a supported upstream registry for ECR’s pull through cache feature. With today’s release, customers using GitLab’s software-as-a-subscription offering, GitLab.com , can automatically sync images from the newly supported upstream registry to their private ECR repositories.

ECR customers can create a pull through cache rule that maps an upstream registry to a namespace in their private ECR registry. Using Amazon ECR Pull through cache support with GitLab Container Registry requires authentication. Customers can provide credentials that are stored in AWS Secrets Manager and are used to authenticate to the upstream registry. Once rule is configured, images can be pulled through ECR from GitLab Container Registry. ECR automatically creates new repositories for cached images and keeps them in-sync with the upstream registry. Additionally, customers can use repository creation templates (in preview) to specify initial configurations for the new repositories created via pull through cache. Using pull through cache with other registries, customers can be assured of having the latest images from upstream sources in ECR, while also benefiting from the availability, performance, and security of ECR. 

Pull through cache rules are supported in all AWS regions, excluding AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and AWS China Regions. To learn more about creating a pull through cache rule in ECR, please visit our user guide .

Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) for PostgreSQL now supports the latest minor versions PostgreSQL 16.3, 15.7, 14.12, 13.15, and 12.19. This release of RDS for PostgreSQL also includes support for pgvector 0.7.0, which lets you index vectors larger than 2,000 dimensions and adds support for scalar and binary quantization through expression indexes. 

The PostgreSQL community released PostgreSQL 16.3 minor version as of today. We recommend that you upgrade to the latest minor versions to fix known security vulnerabilities in prior versions of PostgreSQL, and to benefit from the bug fixes added by the PostgreSQL community. You are able to leverage automatic minor version upgrades to automatically upgrade your databases to more recent minor versions during scheduled maintenance window. Learn more about upgrading your database instances in the Amazon RDS User Guide .

Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL makes it simple to set up, operate, and scale PostgreSQL deployments in the cloud. See Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL Pricing for pricing details and regional availability. Create or update a fully managed Amazon RDS database in the Amazon RDS Management Console .
