Amazon EBS Snapshots Archive is now available in Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Canada (Central), and South America (São Paulo) Regions. We launched EBS Snapshots Archive in 17 commercial regions in November, 2021, to help you save up to 75% on storage costs for EBS Snapshots that you intend to retain for more than 90 days and rarely access. EBS Snapshots are incremental in nature, storing only the changes since the last snapshot. This makes them cost-effective for daily and weekly backups that need to be accessed frequently. If you have snapshots that you access every few months or years, and would like to retain them long-term for legal or regulatory reasons, you can use EBS Snapshot Archive to store full, point-in-time snapshots at a lower cost than what you would incur if stored in the standard tier.

In the latest release of the AWS AppConfig  Lambda Extension, there is support for Arm/Graviton2 processors. Using AWS AppConfig, a feature of AWS Systems Manager, customers can easily create feature flags or other dynamic/runtime configuration and safely deploy updates. The AWS AppConfig Lambda Extension allows customers to access this feature flag and dynamic configuration data in Lambda functions.

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) Performance Insights now makes it easier for you to see the database performance metrics for the exact timeframe you want to analyze, by choosing a custom time window within your retention period. Previously, you could only see metrics in Performance Insights by choosing relative time intervals such as the past 1 hour, the past 24 hours, etc. Amazon RDS Performance Insights is a database performance tuning and monitoring feature of Amazon RDS and Amazon Aurora that helps you quickly assess the load on your database and determine when and where to take action. This helps non-experts to measure database performance with an easy-to-understand dashboard that visualizes database load. With one click, you can add a fully-managed performance monitoring solution to your Amazon Aurora clusters and Amazon RDS instances. Amazon RDS Performance Insights automatically gathers all necessary performance metrics and visualizes them in a dynamic dashboard on the Amazon RDS console. You can identify your database’s top performance bottlenecks from a single graph.

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) now allows you to see all standard Kubernetes API resource types running on your Amazon EKS cluster using the AWS Management Console. This makes it easy to visualize and troubleshoot your Kubernetes applications using Amazon EKS.
