Today, we announced the public preview of Amazon SageMaker Components for Kubeflow Pipelines . Machine learning (ML) developers using Kubeflow Pipelines can convert their existing pipeline steps to run on SageMaker with the SageMaker Components. For instance, ML teams can use SageMaker for managed training on Spot instances which will automatically set up model checkpoints to S3 so that you can pause and resume training from the last saved state. Other SageMaker features that are supported in Kubeflow Pipelines are built-in algorithms, managed distributed training, and hyperparameter tuning. In addition, SageMaker can change instance types with one parameter swap, replacing the complicated autoscaling config in Kubernetes.

Amazon FSx for Windows File Server now enables you to increase the storage capacity and to change the throughput capacity of your file systems with the click of a button, providing you the flexibility to grow your file storage and to scale up or down the available performance as needed to meet evolving storage needs over time. 

Today, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced Amazon Textract, a machine learning service that quickly and easily extracts text and data from forms and tables in scanned documents, can now be used for workloads that are subject to Service Organization Control (SOC) compliance, and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) compliance. This launch builds upon the existing portfolio of AWS machine learning services that are SOC and ISO compliant, including Amazon Sagemaker, Amazon Rekognition, Amazon Comprehend, Amazon Lex, and Amazon Connect. The AWS compliance program continues to enable our global customer base to maintain confidence in our secured control environments with a focus on information security, confidentiality, and availability.

AWS Data Migration Service (DMS) now supports migrating graph data from relational sources to Amazon Neptune . The AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) enables you to migrate data from one data source to another. Using relational databases as source and Neptune as destination allows customers to copy their connected data into Neptune for graph queries.  

Amazon DynamoDB support for empty values for non-key String and Binary attributes in DynamoDB tables is now available in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. Empty value support gives you greater flexibility to use attributes for a broader set of use cases without having to transform such attributes before sending them to DynamoDB. List, Map, and Set data types also support empty String and Binary values.
