Amazon EC2 High Memory instances are now available in new regions – U7i-6tb.112xlarge instances in AWS South America (Sao Paulo) and Europe (Milan), U7i-12tb.224xlarge in AWS GovCloud (US-East), and U7in-16tb.224xlarge instances in Europe (London). U7i instances are part of AWS 7th generation and are powered by custom fourth generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (Sapphire Rapids). U7i-6tb instances offer 6TiB of DDR5 memory, U7i-12tb instances offer 12TiB of DDR5 memory, and U7in-16tb instances offer 16TiB of DDR5 memory, enabling customers to scale transaction processing throughput in a fast-growing data environment.

U7i-6tb instances offer 448 vCPUs and support up to 100Gbps Elastic Block Storage (EBS) and deliver up to 100Gbps of network bandwidth. U7i-12tb instances offer 896 vCPUs, support up to 100Gbps Elastic Block Storage (EBS) and deliver up to 100Gbps of network bandwidth. U7in-16tb instances offer 896 vCPUs, support up to 100Gbps Elastic Block Storage (EBS) and deliver up to 200Gbps of network bandwidth for faster data loading and backups. All U7i instances support ENA Express. 

U7i instances are ideal for customers using mission-critical in-memory databases like SAP HANA, Oracle, and SQL Server.

Starting today, customers can create nested environments within virtualized Amazon EC2 instances. Previously, customers could only create and manage virtual machines inside bare metal EC2 instances. With this launch, customers can create nested virtual machines by running KVM or Hyper-V on virtual EC2 instances. Customers can leverage this capability for use cases such as running emulators for mobile applications, simulating in-vehicle hardware for automobiles, and running Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows workstations.

 

AWS Backup now supports AWS PrivateLink for SAP HANA systems running on Amazon EC2. This enables customers to route all backup traffic through private network connections, helping organizations meet security and compliance requirements for regulated workloads.

Customers in regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, and government agencies often require that all traffic remain on private networks. Previously, while SAP HANA application workloads could use AWS PrivateLink for secure, private communication with AWS services, backup traffic to AWS Backup had to traverse public endpoints. With this release, you can now use AWS PrivateLink for AWS Backup storage endpoints, ensuring your SAP HANA workloads on EC2 maintain end-to-end private connectivity for both application traffic and backup data. This helps organizations subject to HIPAA, EU/US Privacy Shield, and PCI DSS regulations implement fully private data protection strategies.

This feature is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Backup supports SAP HANA databases on EC2. To get started, update your Backint agent and add the backup-storage VPCE to your VPC .

Starting today, Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) offers Long-Term Support (LTS) on DocumentDB 5.0, enabling customers to reduce database upgrade frequency and maintenance overhead. LTS versions will receive only critical stability and security patches without introducing new features.

To get started, create a new DocumentDB cluster engine version 5.0.0, or patch your existing engine version 5.0.0 cluster during your next maintenance window. Verify you’re running the required Engine Patch Version by connecting to your cluster and running db.runCommand({getEngineVersion: 1}). Ensure you’re running Engine Patch Version 3.0.17983 or later.

This LTS release is available in all Amazon Web Services regions where DocumentDB is offered. For more details about DocumentDB LTS, and how to check to see what engine patch version you’re on, refer to the Long-Term Support (LTS) release for Amazon DocumentDB .
