Starting today, new Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C5a instances featuring 2nd generation AMD EPYC™ processors running at frequencies up to 3.3 GHz are generally available. C5a instances are variants of Amazon EC2’s compute-optimized (C5) instance family and provide high performance at 10% lower cost over comparable instances. C5a instances deliver leading x86 price-performance for a broad set of compute-intensive workloads including batch processing, distributed analytics, data transformations, log analysis, and web applications.

Amazon Aurora with PostgreSQL Compatibility has added support for managing the recovery point objective (RPO) in an Aurora PostgreSQL Global Database configuration.

AWS DeepComposer gives developers a creative way to learn machine learning. Get hands-on, literally, with a musical keyboard and the latest machine learning techniques to expand your ML skills. AWS DeepComposer includes tutorials, sample code, and training data that can be used to build generative AI models, all without having to write a single line of code. Generative AI is one of the exciting recent advancements in artificial intelligence techniques because of its ability to create something new. Until now, developers interested in growing skills in this area haven’t had an easy way to get started. With AWS DeepComposer, developers, regardless of their background in ML, can get started with generative AI techniques to learn how to train and optimize the models to create original music.  

AWS Config now supports nine new managed rules, which are predefined rules that can help you evaluate whether your AWS resource configurations comply with common best practices. 

AWS Config now offers a new conformance pack template that is intended to help you verify your compliance with NIST CSF operational best practices .

Amazon Elasticsearch Service (Amazon ES) now offers support for cross-cluster search, enabling you to perform searches, aggregations, and visualizations across multiple Amazon ES domains with a single query or from a single Kibana interface. With this feature, you can separate heterogeneous workloads into multiple domains, which provides better resource isolation, and the ability to tune each domain for their specific workloads which can improve availability and reduce costs. 

Resource Import now supports CloudFormation Registry types, so you can import resource types in the Registry, including non-AWS and private ones. Resource Import allows you to bring existing infrastructure and application resources into CloudFormation, regardless of how they were created or managed previously.

Amazon RDS for MySQL has been updated to support release 8.0.19 of the MySQL database. This release includes a number of bug fixes as well as functionality improvements.

Semiconductor manufacturers like Infineon can now use AWS IoT Core Multi-Account Registration to pre-configure silicon components like secure elements with X.509 certificates and private keys, ensuring devices built using these components are pre-qualified to connect to AWS IoT by default. AWS IoT customers can then use these qualified devices together with AWS IoT Multi-Account Registration to simplify device registration and easily move devices between multiple AWS accounts in the same Region.  

AWS CloudEndure Migration Factory Solution is an AWS Solutions Implementation that helps migrate a large number of servers with CloudEndure in a simplified and expedited way at scale. The solution automates many of the manual, time-consuming tasks that enterprises commonly face in migrating servers from on-premise to the cloud; for example, checking prerequisites on the source machine, installing/uninstalling software on the source and target machine. Thousands of servers have been migrated to AWS using this solution. When customers deploy the solution, its AWS CloudFormation template automatically provisions and configures the necessary AWS services, starting with Amazon Elastic Container Service to build a web interface and an Amazon S3 bucket to contain the frontend code.
