Starting today, you can define the action you want to take in your account when a budget exceeds its threshold (actual or forecasted amounts). This level of control will allow you to reduce unintentional overspending in your account. You can choose among three action types: Identity and Access Management (IAM) policy, Service Control policy (SCPs), or target running instances (EC2 or RDS). For example, you can choose to apply a custom “Deny EC2 Run Instances” IAM policy to a user, group, or role in your account once your monthly budget for EC2 has been exceeded. With the same budget threshold, you can configure a second action that targets specific EC2 instances within a particular region.

Starting today, Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL will concurrently upgrade all of your in-region read replicas along with the upgrade of your primary database instance during major version upgrades of PostgreSQL. 

Amazon Connect real-time metric dashboards now allow you to drill down into queue and routing profile data in one click. For example, if a queue has a long wait time, call center managers can create a table in one click to view agents in that queue. With this table, they can quickly identify agents in an error status and work with them to resolve the issue.

Amazon Redshift Amazon Redshift now supports the ability to query across databases in a Redshift cluster. With cross-database queries, you can seamlessly query data from any database in the cluster, regardless of which database you are connected to. Cross-database queries can eliminate data copies and simplify your data organization to support multiple business groups on the same cluster. Support for cross-database queries is available on Amazon Redshift RA3 instance types.

AWS Glue crawlers now support Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) and MongoDB collections. You can now use AWS Glue crawlers to infer schema of Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) and MongoDB collections and create or update a table in the Glue Data Catalog. A configuration option allows you to specify if you want the crawler to crawl the entire data set or select a sample of the data to reduce crawl time.

Ultra Modern Water Coolers

If you’re considering Bottleless Water Dispensers for your office, school, medical facility or home, we know you’ll want to make sure that you’ve made the best choice available.

PureWater Dynamics  has been Denver’s leading provider and service company for more than twenty years and, above all else, has made its reputation on its outstanding service. A water cooler, bottleless or bottled, you have several options.

How to Choose the Best Water Filtration Service:

First:

Evaluate the space where you’re planning to install your new bottle less water cooler. Will there be room for a stand-along upright cooler or will you require a countertop water cooler ? For home or office kitchen top situations, you may even require an under-counter water dispenser.

Second:

Discuss with your co-workers or spouse whether they prefer a bottleless system or the older 5 gallon water bottles that will need to be lifted, delivered and stored. For the under-counter and counter-top units this isn’t an option.

Third:

With the bottleless water coolers, you will save money since replacement of bottles and delivery isn’t a problem. Bottleless water filtration systems require servicing only once or twice per year, depending on volume of use. Most of our customers choose this option as it is relatively hassle free and avoids the possible injuries of lifting those heavy bottles.

Fourth:

Be sure to follow this basic outline and you’ll be on your way to enjoying some great tasting and healthful water for your employees, clients or family.
