Amazon Kinesis Video Streams now offers the ability to stream real-time audio and video to multiple concurrent viewers via WebRTC, while also recording video and audio from the session to the cloud for storage, playback, and analytical processing. With this update, developers can enable up to 3 concurrent viewers of real-time feeds from cameras or other video-producing devices without increasing compute or bandwidth utilization on the device. In addition, participants can engage in audio conversations with each other, enabling direct real-time communication between viewers during the session.

Developers can now build real-time peer-to-peer streaming applications by installing the Amazon Kinesis Video Streams with WebRTC SDK across security cameras, IoT devices, PCs, and mobile devices. Using the APIs, developers can create applications that stream real-time media to multiple concurrent viewers. They can develop solutions for scenarios such as home security applications sharing camera feeds with family members, remote proctoring systems with multiple monitoring operators, or robot operation control centers with audit capabilities. Developers can implement both live and on-demand video playback through session recording, and build advanced applications utilizing computer vision and video analytics by integrating with Amazon Rekognition Video and Amazon SageMaker.

Amazon Kinesis Video Streams WebRTC Multi-Viewer is available in all regions where Amazon Kinesis Video Streams is available, except the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and the China (Beijing, operated by Sinnet) Region.

AWS is announcing the general availability of Amazon EC2 Storage Optimized I8g instances in Asia Pacific (Seoul) and South America (Sao Paulo) regions. I8g instances offer the best performance in Amazon EC2 for storage-intensive workloads. I8g instances use the latest third generation AWS Nitro SSDs, local NVMe storage that deliver up to 65% better real-time storage performance per TB while offering up to 50% lower storage I/O latency and up to 60% lower storage I/O latency variability. These instances are built on the AWS Nitro System , which offloads CPU virtualization, storage, and networking functions to dedicated hardware and software enhancing the performance and security for your workloads.

Amazon EC2 I8g instances are designed for I/O intensive workloads that require rapid data access and real-time latency from storage. These instances excel at handling transactional, real-time, distributed databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Hbase and NoSQL solutions like Aerospike, MongoDB, ClickHouse, and Apache Druid. They’re also optimized for real-time analytics platforms such as Apache Spark, data lakehouse and AI LLM pre-processing for training. I8g instances are available in 10 different sizes with up to 48xlarge including one metal size, 1.5 TiB of memory, and 45 TB local instance storage. They deliver up to 100 Gbps of network performance bandwidth, and 60 Gbps of dedicated bandwidth for Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS).

Amazon EventBridge now supports Amazon SQS fair queues as targets, enabling you to build more responsive event-driven applications. You can now leverage SQSs improved message distribution across consumer groups and mitigate the noisy neighbor impact in multi-tenant messaging systems. This enhancement allows EventBridge to send events directly to SQS fair queues. With fair queues, multiple consumers can process messages from the same tenant at the same time, while keeping message processing times consistent across all tenants.

The Amazon EventBridge event bus is a serverless event broker that enables you to create scalable event-driven applications by routing events between your own applications, third-party SaaS applications, and other AWS services. SQS fair queues automatically distribute messages fairly across consumer groups, preventing any single group from monopolizing queue resources. When combined with EventBridge’s event routing capabilities, this creates powerful patterns for building scalable, multi-tenant applications where different teams or services need equitable access to event streams.

To route events to an SQS fair queue, you can select the fair queue as a target when creating or updating EventBridge rules through the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs. Be sure to include a MessageGroupID parameter, which can be specified with either a static value or JSON path expression.

Support for Fair Queue and FIFO targets is available in all AWS commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. For more information about EventBridge target support, see our documentation . For more information about SQS Fair Queues, see the SQS documentation . 

Starting today, the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) G6f instances powered by NVIDIA L4 GPUs are now available in Europe (Spain) and Asia Pacific (Seoul) regions. G6f instances can be used for a wide range of graphics workloads. G6f instances offer GPU partitions as small as one-eighth of a GPU with 3 GB of GPU memory giving customers the flexibility to right size their instances and drive significant cost savings compared to EC2 G6 instances with a single GPU.

Customers can use G6f instances to provision remote workstations for Media & Entertainment, Computer-Aided Engineering, for ML research, and for spatial visualization. G6f instances are available in 5 instance sizes with half, quarter, and one-eighth of a GPU per instance size, paired with third generation AMD EPYC processors offering up to 12 GB of GPU memory and 16 vCPUs.

Amazon EC2 G6f instances are available today in the AWS US East (N. Virginia and Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe (Stockholm, Frankfurt, London and Spain), Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Tokyo, Seoul and Sydney), Canada (Central), and South America (Sao Paulo) regions. Customers can purchase G6f instances as On-Demand Instances, Spot Instances, or as a part of Savings Plans.

To get started, visit the AWS Management Console , AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), and AWS SDKs , and launch G6f instances with NVIDIA GRID driver 18.4 or later. To learn more, visit the G6 instance page .
