You can now share snapshots of Aurora Serverless DB clusters with other AWS accounts or publicly. We are also giving you the ability to copy Aurora Serverless DB cluster snapshots across AWS regions.  

You can now use AWS Glue in the AWS GovCloud (US-East) Region . AWS Glue automates much of the effort to build, maintain, and run extract, transform, and load (ETL) jobs.

The venue slashed commissioning time for the entertainment lighting while improving the accuracy of 554 new Internet-connected LED floodlights from Signify.

You can now use AWS Organizations to centrally govern and manage your environment as you grow and scale your workloads across AWS accounts in AWS GovCloud (US) , Amazon’s isolated cloud infrastructure and services designed to host sensitive data and regulated workloads in the cloud for customers who have U.S. federal, state, and local government compliance requirements. AWS Organizations helps you control access, compliance, and security; and share resources across your AWS accounts.

AWS Transit Gateway is now available in both AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. AWS Transit Gateway enables customers to connect thousands of Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (Amazon VPCs) and their on-premises networks using a single gateway. As you grow the number of workloads across multiple AWS accounts, you need to scale your networks, better control your policies, and effectively monitor your resources.  

Starting today, Amazon EC2 P3dn instances are available in the Europe (Dublin) AWS region. P3dn instances were first introduced in December of 2018 and feature eight NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs with 32GB of GPU memory each, 100 Gbps networking, 96 Intel Skylake-based vCPUs, and 768 GB of system memory that expands the P3 portfolio on the top end for faster distributed machine learning (ML) training workloads.

AWS CodeCommit, a fully-managed source control service, is now available in the AWS GovCloud (US-West) Region. CodeCommit makes it easy for companies to host secure and highly scalable private Git repositories. 

Customers using AWS ParallelCluster to set up their High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters can now take advantage of an optimized scaling algorithm designed for use with Slurm Workload Manager. Other enhancements in the new release of AWS ParallelCluster release include features to prevent cluster scale-up when job dependencies are not satisfied, and support for the latest version of Slurm Workload Manager (v18). The complete list of enhancement in AWS ParallelCluster 2.3.1 can be found here.

HPC clusters are collections of tightly coupled compute, storage, and networking resources that enable customers to run large scale scientific and engineering workloads. AWS ParallelCluster is a fully supported and maintained open source cluster management tool that makes it easy for scientists, researchers, and IT administrators to deploy and manage HPC clusters on AWS. AWS ParallelCluster reduces the operational overhead of cluster management and simplifies running HPC workloads on AWS. AWS ParallelCluster is available at no additional charge, and you pay only for the AWS resources needed to run your applications. Slurm is a free and open-source job scheduler for Linux and Unix-like kernels used by many of the world’s supercomputers and HPC clusters.

Amazon Comprehend helps you solve a variety of use cases with custom classification. For example, you can build classifiers to organize your daily customer feedback into categories like “loyalty”, “sales” or “product defect”. Amazon Comprehend removes the complexity to create custom classification models, requiring only a CSV file with labels and example text.

A confusion matrix helps you understand how your labels are performing based on the training data you provided. For example, if you have two labels with similar training content, the custom classification model may not be able to clearly distinguish between these labels. Using the confusion matrix, you can focus on creating better training content, so each label is more distinct from the other.
