Today, AWS announces the general availability of account color settings in AWS Management Console across all Public Regions. AWS customers now have an easy way to identify their accounts at a glance. Using the account color setting, account admins can assign a color to their AWS account (such as red for production accounts or yellow for testing accounts) that appears in the Console’s navigation bar for all authorized users in that account, enabling quick visual identification of different accounts.

AWS customers manage multiple accounts to separate their workloads, such as maintaining distinct accounts for development and production environments or for different business units. Previously, users had to rely on account numbers to identify accounts. With this new feature, users with admin privileges can assign colors to AWS accounts, enabling all authorized users to quickly identify the account they want to operate on through the colored navigation bar.

When signing in to the AWS Console, users see a default grey color in the navigation bar. Users with admin privileges can change this color through the ‘Account’ option in the navigation bar’s account menu, on the top right of the page. Once the color is set, all users with proper permissions can see it. To view the account color, users need to be assigned permissions using the AWS managed policy AWSManagementConsoleBasicUserAccess  or the custom permission uxc:getaccountcolor.

Today, SageMaker Training and Processing Jobs  announces the new Amazon EC2 P5 instance size with one NVIDIA H100 GPU. It allows businesses to right-size their machine learning (ML) and high-performance computing (HPC) resources with cost-effectiveness. The new P5 instance type gives customers the flexibility to begin with smaller configurations and expand incrementally with fine-grained control, delivering enhanced cost management for their infrastructure investments.

P5.4xlarge instances are now available through SageMaker Flexible Training Plans  in the following AWS Regions: US East (North Virginia, Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe (London), Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Sydney, Tokyo), and South America (Sao Paulo). Additionally, the instance type can be purchased through SageMaker On-Demand and Spot in the Europe (London), Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Jakarta, Tokyo), and South America (Sao Paulo) AWS Regions.

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C7i instances powered by custom 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (code-named Sapphire Rapids) are available in the Asia Pacific (Osaka) Region. C7i instances are supported by custom Intel processors, available only on AWS, and offer up to 15% better performance over comparable x86-based Intel processors utilized by other cloud providers.

C7i instances deliver up to 15% better price-performance versus C6i instances and are a great choice for all compute-intensive workloads, such as batch processing, distributed analytics, ad-serving, and video encoding. C7i instances offer larger instance sizes, up to 48xlarge, and two bare metal sizes (metal-24xl, metal-48xl). These bare-metal sizes support built-in Intel accelerators: Data Streaming Accelerator, In-Memory Analytics Accelerator, and QuickAssist Technology that are used to facilitate efficient offload and acceleration of data operations and optimize performance for workloads.

C7i instances support new Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) that accelerate matrix multiplication operations for applications such as CPU-based ML. Customers can attach up to 128 EBS volumes to a C7i instance vs. up to 28 EBS volumes to a C6i instance. This allows processing of larger amounts of data, scale workloads, and improved performance over C6i instances.

Today, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) introduced support for on-demand refresh of cluster insights, enabling customers to more efficiently test and validate if applied recommendations have successfully taken effect.

Every Amazon EKS cluster undergoes automatic, periodic checks against a curated list of insights, which provide detection of issues, such as warnings about changes required before Kubernetes version upgrades, as well as recommendations for how to address each insight. With on-demand cluster insights refresh functionality, customers can fetch the latest insights immediately after making changes, accelerating the testing and verification process when performing upgrades or making configuration changes to your cluster.

EKS upgrade insights and the new refresh capability is available in all commercial AWS Regions. To learn more visit the EKS documentation .
