AWS is announcing the general availability of Amazon EC2 Storage Optimized I8g instances in US East (Ohio) region. I8g instances offer the best performance in Amazon EC2 for storage-intensive workloads. I8g instances are powered by AWS Graviton4 processors that deliver up to 60% better compute performance compared to previous generation I4g instances. 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).

AWS Elastic Beanstalk now supports dual-stack configuration for both Application Load Balancers (ALB) and Network Load Balancers (NLB), allowing environments to serve both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. You can now set the IpAddressType option to “dualstack,” and Elastic Beanstalk will automatically configure your load balancer with dual-stack support, creating both A and AAAA DNS records. You can seamlessly update existing IPv4 environments to dual-stack or revert back as needed.

This capability helps you reach users on IPv6-only networks while maintaining full IPv4 compatibility, supporting global accessibility requirements and IPv6 adoption mandates. The feature automatically handles DNS record management, simplifying IPv6 deployment for your applications and ensuring optimal performance for all users.

This feature is available in all AWS regions that support Elastic Beanstalk and Application and Network Load Balancers.

For detailed configuration steps, see the Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide and Load Balancer documentation . Learn more about IPv6 networking in the Amazon VPC User Guide .

With flow monitors in Amazon CloudWatch Network Monitoring, you can now monitor network performance of traffic flowing between AWS Regions across the AWS global network. Flow monitors provide near real-time visibility of network performance for workloads between compute instances such as Amazon EC2 and Amazon EKS, and AWS services such as Amazon S3 and Amazon DynamoDB. Flow monitors provide metrics to help you rapidly detect and attribute network-driven impairments for your workloads.

With this release, flow monitors now help you to assess whether network performance issues on the AWS global network between a local and a remote Region are impacting your workloads. Because the flow monitor’s network health indicator (NHI) now also captures the health of the AWS global network on your workload’s network paths between Regions, you can quickly identify whether impairments in a local Region, in the AWS global network, or in the remote Region are affecting your workloads. This feature extends network visibility for flows to a remote Region’s public IP address, and for private traffic flowing to a remote Region over Amazon VPC peering or AWS Transit Gateway peering.

For the full list of the AWS Regions where Network Monitoring for AWS workloads is available, visit the Regions list . To learn more, visit the Amazon CloudWatch Network Monitoring documentation .

AWS HealthImaging now supports OAuth 2.0 -compatible identity providers for authentication of DICOMweb requests using OpenID Connect (OIDC). With OIDC authentication, you can manage secure access to DICOM resources using your organization’s standard procedures for creating, enabling, and disabling user accounts.

With this launch, you can now use existing identity providers (IdPs)—such as Amazon Cognito, Okta, or Auth0—to issue JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) that authorize secure access to your DICOMweb endpoints. This launch makes it simpler to integrate AWS HealthImaging into existing medical imaging applications and expands HealthImaging’s support of DICOMweb standard interfaces that rely on OAuth 2.0-compatible authentication. Support for OIDC is limited to DICOMweb REST API requests. HealthImaging includes native support for AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) users and roles for authentication of all API requests.

Support for OpenID Connect (OIDC) is available in all AWS Regions where AWS HealthImaging is generally available: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Sydney), and Europe (Ireland).

AWS Backup now lets you choose whether to include Access Control Lists (ACLs) and ObjectTags when backing up your Amazon S3 buckets.

Previously, AWS Backup included these metadata components for all objects by default. This new capability lets you customize your backup approach based on your recovery needs, so you can include only the metadata you need.

This capability is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Backup for Amazon S3 is available. For pricing and regional availability information, see the AWS Backup pricing page .

To learn more about AWS Backup for Amazon S3, visit the product page and technical documentation . To get started, visit the AWS Backup console . 

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C6in instances are available in AWS Region Asia Pacific (Thailand). These sixth-generation network optimized instances, powered by 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors and built on the AWS Nitro System , deliver up to 200Gbps network bandwidth, for 2x more network bandwidth over comparable fifth-generation instances.

Customers can use C6in instances to scale the performance of applications such as network virtual appliances (firewalls, virtual routers, load balancers), Telco 5G User Plane Function (UPF), data analytics, high performance computing (HPC), and CPU based AI/ML workloads. C6in instances are available in 10 different sizes with up to 128 vCPUs, including bare metal size. Amazon EC2 sixth-generation x86-based network optimized EC2 instances deliver up to 100Gbps of Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) bandwidth, and up to 400K IOPS. C6in instances offer Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) networking support on 32xlarge and metal sizes.

C6in instances are available in these AWS Regions : US East (Ohio, N. Virginia), US West (N. California, Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London, Milan, Paris, Spain, Stockholm, Zurich), Middle East (Bahrain, UAE), Israel (Tel Aviv), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong, Hyderabad, Jakarta, Malaysia, Melbourne, Mumbai, Osaka, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo, Thailand), Africa (Cape Town), South America (Sao Paulo), Canada (Central), Canada West (Calgary), and AWS GovCloud (US-West, US-East).
