Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) now supports up to 500 MB/s of per-client throughput, a 100% increase from the previous limit of 250 MB/s. Total throughput for an EFS file system remains at 10+ GB/s across all NFS clients. 

Amazon FSx for Lustre, which makes it easy and cost effective to launch and run the world’s most popular high-performance file system in AWS, is making it even easier to process data residing in Amazon S3 by enabling your file system’s contents to be updated automatically as data is added to or changed in an S3 bucket.

Starting today, users can experience a new, optimized user interface when they access Amazon WorkDocs from the WorkDocs Android mobile application. This new user interface enhances accessibility, supports easier collaboration, and improves file and folder discoverability.  

The Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) CSI driver is now generally available. The EFS CSI driver makes it simple to configure elastic file storage for both EKS and self-managed Kubernetes clusters running on AWS using standard Kubernetes interfaces. Applications running in Kubernetes can use EFS file systems to share data between pods in a scale-out group, or with other applications running within or outside of Kubernetes. EFS can also help Kubernetes applications be highly available because all data written to EFS is written to multiple AWS Availability zones. If a Kubernetes pod is terminated and relaunched, the CSI driver will reconnect the EFS file system, even if the pod is relaunched in a different AWS Availability Zone. 

Amazon RDS for MySQL has been updated to support release 8.0.20 of the MySQL database. This release includes a number of bug fixes as well as functionality improvements. 

Amazon RDS for SQL Server now retains the same Service Master Key (SMK) throughout the lifespan of the RDS SQL Server DB instance. By retaining the same SMK, your DB instance will be able to seamlessly use objects that are encrypted with the SMK.

Amazon QuickSight now allows customers to embed dashboard authoring capability within third party applications and portals. Customers (e.g., Independent Software Vendors or ISVs, enterprises) can now provide self-service data exploration, ad-hoc data analysis, and dashboard authoring capabilities directly to their end-users. Customers benefit from not having to repeatedly create custom dashboards based on ad-hoc requests from their end-users, while also creating strong product differentiation and up-sell opportunities within their applications.  

Amazon AppFlow, a fully managed integration service that enables customers securely transfer data between AWS services and cloud applications, now supports private data transfers between AWS and Salesforce leveraging AWS PrivateLink. Customers can use AppFlow’s private data transfer option to ensure that data does not get exposed to the public internet during transfers between AWS and Salesforce, improving security and minimizing risks of Internet based attack vectors. AppFlow makes it easy for customers to configure private data transfers with Salesforce in just a few clicks. It automatically sets up PrivateLink endpoints and manages the lifecycle of these endpoints without requiring customers to set up or monitor any network infrastructure.

You can now search, sort, and filter across all tables and view more detail on your AWS accounts and organizational units (OUs) within the AWS Control Tower console.
