Starting today, Amazon EC2 R5 instances are available in the Asia Pacific (Seoul, Sydney, Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt, London), US West (N. California), Canada (Central), and GovCloud (US-West) AWS regions. This is in addition to the US East (N.

Amazon EC2 Spot Console now supports scheduled scaling for Application Auto Scaling, enabling you to plan scaling activities based on predictable workload patterns. Using the Spot Console, now you can create scheduled actions for your Spot Fleet request to scale the capacity up and down at specified times.

When you create a scheduled action, you can specify when the scaling activity should occur, the minimum capacity, and the maximum capacity. At the specified time, Auto Scaling scales your Fleet based on the new capacity values. You can create scheduled actions that scale one time only, or that scale on a recurring basis.

Support for scheduled scaling in the EC2 Spot Console is now available in all public AWS regions. You can learn more about this feature by reading the documentation page and learn about Spot Instances here .
 

The AWS command line interface (CLI) now allows you to create a kubeconfig file during Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS) cluster creation with a single command.

The AWS Amplify JavaScript library now supports Amazon Sumerian, enabling developers to securely embed virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and 3D scenes into web applications.

Today, we’re launching a new guided API builder for AWS AppSync. Before today, knowing GraphQL was a pre-requisite for building an AWS AppSync API. This is because, AWS AppSync is powered by GraphQL, a powerful API query language that allows your backend and applications to perform complex data fetching in a single round trip for efficient network operations. The “no-code” GraphQL API builder , we release in July 2018, was a step in relaxing this requirement. With today’s launch, we are making it even easier to create a powerful, serverless API for your mobile and web apps without any prior knowledge of GraphQL.

ROHM is aiming to power the sensors in self-driving cars with a family of compact dc-dc converters. Called the BD9S series, the parts support output currents from 0.6 to 4.0A and come in 3x3mm packages, and operate at up to 90% efficiency (3.6Vin 1.8Vout). Switching is current-mode, resulting in fast load transient response, and fixed 2.2MHz …

Wurth has come up with a neat idea for those in need of shielding on their PCB, but without time to order a custom part. For prototyping, ShielDIY is bend-it-yourself shielding made from 0.2 mm thick metal sheet with pre-embossed fold lines at 5mm intervals. “To produce an individual shielding cabinet of the required shape, …
