AWS Firewall Manager announces security policy support for enhanced application layer (L7) DDoS protection within AWS WAF. The application layer (L7) DDoS protection is an AWS Managed Rule group that automatically detects and mitigates DDoS events of any applications on Amazon CloudFront, Application Load Balancer (ALB) and other AWS services supported by WAF. AWS Firewall Manager helps cloud security administrators and site reliability engineers protect applications while reducing the operational overhead of manually configuring and managing rules.

Working with AWS Firewall Manager, customers can provide defense in depth policies to address the full range of web site protections from the newly released AWS WAF (L7) DDoS protections to non-HTTP based threats to web site infrastructure. By looking at the totality of a web-sites’ technology stack, customers can define and deploy all the needed protections.

AWS Firewall Manager support for application layer (L7) DDoS protection can be enabled for all AWS WAF and AWS Shield users. Customers can add this specialized Amazon Managed Rule set to a new or existing AWS Firewall Manager policy. AWS Firewall Manager supports this Amazon Managed Rule set in all regions where WAF offers the feature which means all Advanced subscribers in all supported AWS Regions, except Asia Pacific (Thailand), Mexico (Central), and China (Beijing and Ningxia). You can deploy this AWS Managed Rule group for your Amazon CloudFront, ALB, and other supported AWS resources.

To learn more about how AWS Firewall Manager works with WAF’s new Managed Rules, see the AWS Firewall Manager documentation for more details and the AWS Region Table for the list of regions where AWS Firewall Manager is currently available. To learn more about AWS Firewall Manager, its features, and its pricing, visit the AWS Firewall Manager website .
 

Amazon Web Services (AWS) announces the availability of Amazon EC2 I7ie instances in the AWS Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Malaysia) and AWS GovCloud (US-East) Regions. Designed for large storage I/O intensive workloads, these new instances are powered by 5th generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with an all-core turbo frequency of 3.2 GHz, offering up to 40% better compute performance and 20% better price performance over existing I3en instances.

I7ie instances offer up to 120TB local NVMe storage density—the highest available in the cloud for storage optimized instances—and deliver up to twice as many vCPUs and memory compared to prior generation instances. Powered by 3rd generation AWS Nitro SSDs, these instances achieve up to 65% better real-time storage performance, up to 50% lower storage I/O latency, and 65% lower storage I/O latency variability compared to existing I3en instances. Additionally, the 16KB torn write prevention feature, enables customers to eliminate performance bottlenecks for database workloads.

I7ie instances are high-density storage-optimized instances, for workloads that demand rapid local storage with high random read/write performance and consistently low latency for accessing large data sets. These instances are offered in eleven different sizes including 2 metal sizes, providing flexibility for customers computational needs. They deliver up to 100 Gbps of network performance bandwidth, and 60 Gbps of dedicated bandwidth for Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS), ensuring fast and efficient data transfer for applications.

Starting today, you can enable Amazon CloudWatch metric (ResolverEndpointCapacityStatus) to monitor the status of the query capacity for Elastic Network Interfaces (ENIs) associated with your Route 53 Resolver endpoint in Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). The new metric enables you to quickly view whether the Resolver endpoint is at the risk of meeting the service limit for query capacity, and take remediation steps like instantiating additional ENIs to meet the capacity needs.

Before today, you could enable CloudWatch to monitor the number of DNS queries that were forwarded by Route 53 Resolver endpoints, over a default five-minute interval, and make further estimations on when your endpoints will meet the query limits. With this launch, you can now enable the new metric to get direct alerts on the current status of your Resolver endpoint capacity, without requiring you to make additional estimations for calculating capacity of each endpoint. The status is reported for each Resolver endpoint, indicating whether the endpoint is operating within the normal capacity limit (0 – OK), has at least one ENI exceeding 50% capacity utilization (1 – Warning), or has at least one ENI exceeding 75% capacity utilization (2 – Critical). The new metric simplifies capacity management for Route 53 Resolver endpoints by providing clear, actionable signals for scaling decisions, without requiring additional analysis on the query volume.

To learn more about the launch, read the documentation or visit the Route 53 Resolver page . There is no charge for the metric, although you will incur charges for usage of Resolver endpoints.

Today, AWS HealthOmics introduces automatic interpolation of input parameters for Nextflow private workflows, eliminating the need for manual parameter template creation. This enhancement intelligently identifies and extracts both required and optional input parameters directly from workflow definitions, along with their descriptions. AWS HealthOmics is a HIPAA-eligible service that helps healthcare and life sciences customers accelerate scientific breakthroughs with fully managed biological data stores and workflows.

With this new feature, customers can launch bioinformatics workflows more quickly since they no longer need to manually identify, define, and validate each workflow parameter. This also helps reduce configuration errors that can occur when parameters are incorrectly specified or omitted. For specialized requirements, customers can still provide custom parameter templates to override the automatically generated configurations.

Input parameter interpolation for Nextflow workflows is now supported in all regions where AWS HealthOmics is available: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London), Asia Pacific (Singapore), and Israel (Tel Aviv). Automatic parameter interpolation is already supported for WDL and CWL workflows today.

To learn more about automatic parameter interpolation and how to build private workflows, see the AWS HealthOmics documentation .
