We’re excited to announce that customers will be able to create up to 1,000 Active Jobs per AWS account per connected region. The prior limit was 100 active continuous jobs and 100 active snapshot jobs per AWS account. This new limit will apply to the total number of Jobs created – including both, continuous and snapshot jobs. The new limit applies to all commercial AWS regions where AWS IoT Device Management is available. The higher limits are reflected in your account automatically and you do not have to take any action. If your account has an approved limit that is higher than this new limit, you will continue to have the higher limit.

Using Amazon EBS direct APIs, customers can create snapshots of their block storage data, regardless of where it resides, including data on-premises. This enables customers to achieve business continuity in AWS at a lower cost and use the existing Fast Snapshot Restore feature to quickly recover this data into Amazon EBS volumes for use cases like disaster recovery. 

Genomics Tertiary Analysis and Machine Learning Using Amazon SageMaker is a new AWS Solutions Implementation that creates a scalable environment in AWS to develop machine learning models using genomics data, generate predictions, and evaluate model performance.

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) administrators can now view and manage their EKS quotas through AWS Service Quotas .  

You can now view and manage your quotas (also referred to as limits) using Service Quotas for AWS Fargate, the serverless compute engine for containers that works with both Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). Service Quotas consolidates the default values and your account specific applied values for Fargate On-Demand and Fargate Spot resource count quotas in one single location. In addition, AWS Fargate now supports Amazon CloudWatch Usage Metrics, making it easier to get better visibility into the Fargate resource utilization in your account and proactively manage your quotas. With the CloudWatch Usage Metrics and Service Quotas integration, you can easily monitor Fargate resource usage against quotas and configure alarms to warn about usage approaching a service quota.
