Starting today, Amazon CloudWatch Logs is removing the 5 requests per second log stream quota when calling Amazon CloudWatch Logs PutLogEvents API. There will be no new per log stream quota. With this change we have removed the need for splitting your log ingestion across multiple log streams to prevent log stream throttling.

Amazon Kinesis Data Streams for Amazon DynamoDB is now available in 11 additional AWS Regions around the world. With Amazon Kinesis Data Streams, you can capture item-level changes in your DynamoDB tables as a Kinesis data stream with a single click in the DynamoDB console, or by using the AWS API, CLI or CloudFormation templates.

Application Auto Scaling now offers customers more visibility about the scaling decisions it takes for an auto scaled resource. Application Auto Scaling (AAS) is a service that offers standardized experience across 13 different AWS services beyond Amazon EC2, for example Amazon DynamoDB provisioned read and write capacity, and Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) services. Application Auto Scaling takes scaling actions based on the customer-defined scaling policies that act as a guideline for scaling decisions. Until now, customers only got details about successful and not about deferred scaling actions. With this feature, customers get more insights about scaling decisions that do not lead to a scaling action in both descriptive and machine-readable format.

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) R6g instances are available in AWS Region Asia Pacific (Osaka). R6gd instances are available in AWS Regions Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Seoul) and Europe (Stockholm). M6gd instances are available in AWS Regions Asia Pacific (Osaka) and Africa (Cape Town). These instances are powered by AWS Graviton2 processors, and they are built on AWS Nitro System. The Nitro System is a collection of AWS designed hardware and software innovations that enables the delivery of efficient, flexible, and secure cloud services with isolated multi-tenancy, private networking, and fast local storage. R6g instances are built for running memory-intensive workloads such as open-source databases, in-memory caches, and real time big data analytics. R6gd instances provide local SSD storage and are ideal for memory-intensive workloads that need access to high-speed, low latency storage. M6gd offer a balance of compute, memory, networking, and local SSD resources for a broad set of workloads. They are built for applications such as application servers, microservices, gaming servers, mid-size data stores, and caching fleets that also need access to high-speed, low latency storage.

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) R6i instances are available in AWS Region Asia Pacific (Osaka), Middle East (Bahrain), and Africa (Cape Town). R6i instances are powered by 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, with an all-core turbo frequency of 3.5 GHz. These instances come with always-on memory encryption using Intel Total Memory Encryption (TME) and are built on AWS Nitro System. The AWS Nitro System is a collection of AWS designed hardware and software innovations that enables the delivery of efficient, flexible, and secure cloud services with isolated multi-tenancy, private networking, and fast local storage. R6i instances are SAP Certified and are built for workloads such as SQL and NoSQL databases, distributed web scale in-memory caches (Memcached and Redis), in-memory databases (SAP HANA), and real time big data analytics (Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark clusters).

You can now create Apache Airflow version 2.4 environments on Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA) with Python 3.10 support.

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C5n instances are available in AWS Region Asia Pacific (Osaka). C5n instances, powered by 3.0 GHz Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors (Skylake) and based on the AWS Nitro System , offer customers up to 100Gbps networking for network-bound workloads, while continuing to take advantage of the security, scalability and reliability of Amazon’s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). Customers can also take advantage of C5n instances network performance to accelerate data transfer to and from S3, reducing the data ingestion wait time for applications and speeding up delivery of results. They are built for workloads such as High Performance Computing (HPC), analytics, machine learning, Big Data and data lake applications.

AWS released a newer version of Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) Installer (v1.21). This version introduces support for the Rocky Linux v9.0 and OpenSUSE Leap 15.4 operating systems. Support for Rocky Linux 9.0 is being requested by customers who deploy High Performance Computing applications as well as customers of AWS Elemental. Starting with EFA Installer v1.21, OpenSUSE Leap 15.4 will also be supported.

After three years of development, the Nichia – Infineon micro-led-based light engine for matrix-style vehicle headlamps will be seen “in a German premium vehicle” this year, according to Infineon. Matrix headlights use projection optics to project an image of a rectangular array of light sources (in this case ‘micro-leds’) ahead of the vehicle, allowing any …
