Today, AWS IoT SiteWise announced new performance enhancements that will significantly improve the retrieval of industrial data from its hot storage tier. We have improved the GetAssetPropertyValueHistory and BatchGetAssetPropertyValueHistory APIs by increasing the maximum number of results for each paginated response from 250 up to 20K.  With these upgrades, developers can now retrieve asset property data, including measurements, attributes, metrics, and transforms, at high velocity to build industrial applications.

Today, AWS announces the general availability of AWS Glue G.4X and G.8X, the next series of AWS Glue workers for your most demanding serverless data integration workloads. Glue G.4X and G.8X workers provide higher compute, memory, and storage resources than current Glue workers. These new types of workers help you scale and run your most demanding data integration workloads, such as memory-intensive data transforms, skewed aggregations, machine learning transforms, and entity detection checks with petabytes of data.

AWS IoT SiteWise now provides the ability for customers to automatically compute aggregated asset property values every 15 minutes. Customers can now get aggregated values for asset properties, metrics and transforms (mathematical expressions that map asset properties’ data points from one form to another) for every minute, 15-minute, hour, and day. AWS IoT SiteWise computes commonly used statistical aggregates such as average, count, maximum, minimum, standard deviation, and sum over multiple time intervals. Customers can map data streams and define static or computed equipment and process properties across all facilities so they’re readily available for analysis. For non-numeric properties, such as Strings and Booleans, AWS IoT SiteWise computes only the count aggregate.

AWS CloudTrail Lake, a managed data lake that lets organizations aggregate, immutably store, and query their audit and security logs for auditing, security investigations and operational troubleshooting, now supports all Presto SQL SELECT query functions for easy and flexible queryability of data . This new release includes support for popular query functions such as REGEXP_EXTRACT for sophisticated pattern matching such as finding all S3 requests made on a specific S3 bucket prefix, and UNNEST an array such as resources to query over its objects like resourceType. With this release, you can also add comments within the query for better readability.

Ingress Transport Layer Security (TLS) inspection for AWS Network Firewall is now available in all AWS Regions where AWS Network Firewall is available today, including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. With this launch, you can use AWS Network Firewall to decrypt, inspect, and re-encrypt TLS traffic originating from the internet, another VPC, or another subnet.

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) I4g storage-optimized instances powered by AWS Graviton2 processors are now generally available. I4g instances deliver the best compute price performance for a storage-optimized instance versus comparable x86-based storage optimized instances, and the best storage performance per TB for a Graviton-based storage instance. Based on AWS Nitro SSDs that are custom built by AWS and reduce both latency and latency variability, I4g instances are optimized for workloads that perform a high mix of random read/write and require very low I/O latency, such as transactional databases (Amazon DynamoDB, MySQL, and PostgreSQL) and real-time analytics such as Apache Spark.

We’re excited to announce the General Availability of AWS IoT Device Defender and the secure tunneling feature of AWS IoT Device Management in the AWS Middle East (UAE) Region, providing flexibility to customers and extending the service footprint to an additional location in the Middle East besides AWS Middle East (Bahrain) Region. 

Amazon MemoryDB for Redis now makes it simpler and faster for you to get started with setting up a new MemoryDB cluster. The new console experience offers streamlined navigation and minimal settings required to configure a cluster, in just a few clicks.

Amazon Redshift Data Sharing, a secure way to share live data across Amazon Redshift clusters, is now available in AWS China regions. Customers can now share data to provisioned clusters and serverless workgroups in the same account and different accounts, as long as they are within the same region. Redshift Data Sharing enables instant, granular, and high-performance data access across Redshift clusters without the need to copy or move data. Redshift Data Sharing provides live access to the data so that your users always see the most up-to-date and consistent information as it is updated in the data warehouse. Redshift Data Sharing can be used on your Amazon Redshift RA3 clusters at no additional cost.

Starting today, Amazon EC2 High Memory instances with 12TiB of memory (u-12tb1.112xlarge) are now available in Asia Pacific (Mumbai) Region. Customers can start using these new High Memory instances with On Demand and Savings Plan purchase options.
