AWS CodeBuild now supports selecting an EC2 instance by name when using reserved capacity fleets. This enhancement also allows you to configure the amount of storage attached to each instance. AWS CodeBuild is a fully managed continuous integration service that compiles source code, runs tests, and produces ready-to-deploy software packages.

You can select a compute type that is most suitable for your workload. Customize your build environment to match specific resource needs – whether that’s more CPU, memory, storage, faster network speed, or GPU support. This allows you to optimize cost and feedback cycle, resulting in improved developer productivity.

The feature is now available in US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), South America (Sao Paulo), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Europe (Ireland), and Europe (Frankfurt) where reserved capacity fleets are supported.

To learn more about the instance types supported by reserved capacity fleets, please visit our documentation . To learn more about how to get started with CodeBuild, visit the AWS CodeBuild product page .
 

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) M8g instances are available in AWS US West (N. California). These instances are powered by AWS Graviton4 processors and deliver up to 30% better performance compared to AWS Graviton3-based instances. Amazon EC2 M8g instances are built for general-purpose workloads, such as application servers, microservices, gaming servers, midsize data stores, and caching fleets. These instances are built on the AWS Nitro System , which offloads CPU virtualization, storage, and networking functions to dedicated hardware and software to enhance the performance and security of your workloads.

AWS Graviton4-based Amazon EC2 instances deliver the best performance and energy efficiency for a broad range of workloads running on Amazon EC2. These instances offer larger instance sizes with up to 3x more vCPUs and memory compared to Graviton3-based Amazon M7g instances. AWS Graviton4 processors are up to 40% faster for databases, 30% faster for web applications, and 45% faster for large Java applications than AWS Graviton3 processors. M8g instances are available in 12 different instance sizes, including two bare metal sizes. They offer up to 50 Gbps enhanced networking bandwidth and up to 40 Gbps of bandwidth to the Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS).

Today, we are introducing a new account management API that enables customers to update the account name via authorized IAM principals and more efficiently manage account names. This new API is added to the AWS account management APIs that enable AWS Organizations customers to centrally and programmatically manage primary email addresses, primary contact information, alternate contact information, and AWS Regions for their accounts. Using the new API, customers will no longer need root access to manage their account names, and they will be able to use authorized IAM principals within the account. Additionally, customers using AWS Organizations in all-features mode can now update member account names via authorized IAM principals in the management and delegated admin accounts, providing a centralized and secure way to manage account names across their organization at scale. Customers can also use the new API via the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) and AWS Software Development Kit (SDK) to update account names.

The ability to manage account names via authorized IAM principals is available at no additional charge in all commercial AWS Regions and the China Regions. To get started managing your account names via IAM principals, see the documentation .
