Amazon Web Services is announcing the general availability of Amazon EC2 High Memory U7inh instance, a new addition to EC2 High Memory family, built in collaboration with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). Amazon EC2 U7inh instance run on 16-socket HPE Compute Scale-up Server 3200, and are built on the AWS Nitro System to deliver a fully integrated and managed experience consistent with other EC2 instances. Powered by the fourth generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (Sapphire Rapids), U7inh instance offers 32TB of memory with 1920 vCPUs. U7inh is the highest performing High Memory instance in Amazon EC2 for running large, compute-intensive in-memory database workloads such as SAP HANA.

U7inh instance is certified by SAP for running SAP S/4HANA, SAP BW/4HANA, Business Suite on HANA, Data Mart Solutions on HANA, and Business Warehouse on HANA in production environments. For details, see the SAP HANA Hardware Directory .

U7inh instance enables 160Gbps of Elastic Block Storage (EBS) bandwidth for storage volumes including io2 Block Express to support IO-intensive use cases such as data hydration, backup and restore. In addition, the instance supports up to 200Gbps of network bandwidth and support ENA Express.

U7inh instance is available in the US East (N. Virginia) and US West (Oregon) AWS Regions for purchase via a 3-Yr Savings Plan. To learn more, visit the U7i instances page .
 

Today, AWS announces the introduction of Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) support for Bottlerocket, the Linux-based operating system purpose-built for hosting containers, with a focus on security, minimal footprint, and safe updates. An EFA is a network device that you can attach to your Amazon EC2 instance to accelerate Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and High Performance Computing (HPC) applications.

EFA support allows customers to use Bottlerocket with instance types such as G4, G5, P4, and P5 (see full list of the supported instance types ). When an EFA device is detected, Bottlerocket automatically reserves huge pages and updates the locked memory limits for containers, ensuring the best possible EFA performance. This integration provides customers with a secure, efficient, and high-performance container hosting environment for their most demanding computational tasks.

EFA support is available on all first-party Bottlerocket Amazon Machine Images starting with version 1.28.0 and is accessible in all commercial AWS Regions and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. To get started with Bottlerocket, see the Bottlerocket User Guide . You can also visit the Bottlerocket product page and explore the Bottlerocket GitHub repository for more information.

You can now use Amazon EBS Local Snapshots in AWS Dedicated Local Zones. Dedicated Local Zones are a type of AWS infrastructure that are fully managed by AWS, built for exclusive use by you or your community, and placed in a location or data center specified by you to help you comply with regulatory requirements.

Customers use EBS Snapshots to back up their EBS volumes for disaster recovery, data migration, and compliance purposes. With Local Snapshots, you can now create backups of your EBS volumes in Dedicated Local Zones and store them within the same geographical boundary as your EBS volumes, helping you meet your data isolation and data residency use cases. You can also create Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies for your account to enforce that snapshots are stored within the Dedicated Local Zone. Additionally, you can use Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager (DLM) to automate the creation and retention of local snapshots.

Local Snapshots are available through the AWS Console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), and AWS SDKs. To learn more, see the technical documentation on Local Snapshots.

AWS announces a new version of Kinesis Producer Library (KPL) that supports the AWS SDK for Java 2.x for improved performance and security features. With the new KPL version 1.0, now you can fully remove the dependency on the AWS SDK for Java 1.x. You can upgrade your applications running previous KPL versions to KPL 1.0 without any change in your core data processing logic.

Amazon Kinesis Data Streams is a serverless data streaming service that enables customers to capture, process, and store real-time data streams at any scale. Kinesis Producer Library is an open-source library that simplifies producer application development, enabling developers to achieve high write throughput to a Kinesis data stream by aggregating and batching the data.

KPL 1.0 is available with Amazon Kinesis Data Streams in all AWS regions. To learn more, see the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams developer guide and KPL 1.0 release notes .

Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB now offers customers the option to create instances with Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses. Timestream for InfluxDB makes it easy for application developers and DevOps teams to run fully managed InfluxDB databases on Amazon Web Services for real-time time-series applications using open-source APIs. Customers moving to IPv6 can now simplify their network stack by creating their Timestream for InfluxDB instances on a network that supports both IPv4 and IPv6.

The continued growth of the internet is exhausting available Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) addresses. IPv6 increases the number of available addresses by several orders of magnitude so customers will no longer need to manage overlapping address spaces in their VPCs. Customers can also continue to connect to Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB via IPv4 connections if they do not utilize IPv6.

Support for IPv6 on Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB is available in all Regions where Timestream for InfluxDB is available. See here for a full listing of our Regions. To learn more about Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB, please refer to our user guide .
