Today, DAX announced the SDKs for Python and .NET , support for new T2 instances in all supported regions. T2 instances provide a baseline level of CPU performance and can be more cost-effective for test and development workloads or production applications that require smaller caches. DAX is now general availability in the Asia Pacific (Singapore) and Asia Pacific (Sydney) Regions. DAX is already available in the US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), US West (N. California), EU (Ireland), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), and South America (São Paulo) Regions.

Network Load Balancer, designed to handle millions of requests per second while maintaining ultra-low latencies, is now available in the AWS EU (Paris) Region. Network Load Balancer is optimized to handle volatile traffic patterns while using a single static IP address per Availability Zone. It operates at connection level (Layer 4), routing connections to Amazon EC2 instances, containers, and IP addresses based on IP protocol data. It also preserves the client-side source IP, allowing applications to see the IP address of the client that can then be used by applications for further processing. 

AWS AppSync Preview introduces new GraphQL features to enhance application development and removes the whitelist-only access to use the service.
