AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store today introduces advanced parameters that provide three enhanced capabilities. Advanced parameters enable you to create more than 10,000 parameters, use larger parameter value size (up to 8 KB) and add policies to your parameter.  

AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store now supports up to 1,000 requests per second. This lets you run applications that require higher concurrent access to a large number of parameters. You can enable the higher throughput limit from the Parameter Store Settings tab. Once the higher throughput is enabled for your account, you incur charges per API interaction. See the pricing page for details.  

You can now tag Amazon DynamoDB tables when you create them. Tags are labels you can attach to AWS resources to make them easier to manage, search, and filter.

DynamoDBMapper now supports Amazon DynamoDB transactional API calls, enabling developers who use DynamoDBMapper to simplify their code when making coordinated, all-or-nothing changes to multiple items both within and across DynamoDB tables.

The new master’s and PhD curriculum will help develop precision light dosing to optimize yields of vegetable, fruits, grains, nuts, and seeds.

AWS RoboMaker, a service that makes it easy to develop, simulate, and deploy intelligent robotics applications at scale, is now available in the Asia Pacific (Tokyo) region. AWS RoboMaker extends the most widely used open-source robotics software framework, Robot Operating System (ROS), with connectivity to cloud service. Now you can build highly-available applications for your APAC-based simulations and deployments.

AWS Global Accelerator is now available in Europe (London), Europe (Paris), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Seoul), and Canada (Central) AWS Regions. Previously, AWS Global Accelerator was already available in the US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), US West (Northern California), Europe (Ireland), Europe (Frankfurt), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), and Asia Pacific (Singapore) AWS Regions.

AWS is announcing the immediate availability of the new AWS Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) Region. The Hong Kong Region joins Singapore, Tokyo, Sydney, Beijing, Ningxia, Seoul, and Mumbai as the eighth active AWS Region in Asia Pacific and mainland China, and the 21st AWS Region worldwide. The AWS Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) Region consists of three Availability Zones and with this launch, the AWS Global Infrastructure now offers 64 Availability Zones worldwide, serving customers in over 190 countries. The new AWS Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) Region adds to the existing infrastructure AWS already has in Hong Kong SAR, which includes three Edge Network Locations, for customers looking to securely deliver data, videos, applications, and APIs to customers with low latency, high transfer speeds, all within a developer-friendly environment.

AWS now specifies the IP address ranges for Amazon DynamoDB endpoints. You can use these IP address ranges in your routing and firewall policies to control outbound application traffic. If you have an application that uses DynamoDB and need to lock down outbound access to the DynamoDB endpoints, you can use these IP address ranges. You also can use these ranges to control outbound traffic for applications in your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud , behind AWS Virtual Private Network or AWS Direct Connect .
