AWS Marketplace announces support for sellers and channel partners to create contract pricing private offers in four new currencies, and choose non-US bank accounts for disbursement. These features make it easier for sellers and buyers to do business globally by simplifying funds flow.

Sellers can now create private offers with contract pricing in EUR, GBP, JPY, and AUD and receive their disbursements in the offer currency. Additionally, sellers are no longer required to have a US-domiciled bank account. Instead, they can choose to receive payments into one or more bank accounts located in any seller eligible jurisdiction . For channel partner private offers (CPPO), the seller, channel partner, and buyer must all transact in the same currency. Sellers need to issue a resale authorization in the negotiated currency, and the channel partner then creates the CPPO in that currency.

These capabilities help AWS Marketplace sellers achieve an expanded global reach and simplified cash flow management using local bank accounts in local currency. For AWS Marketplace buyers, these features provide the ability to procure software and services in their preferred currency and eliminate foreign exchange risk in invoice amounts.

This new functionality is available worldwide for all AWS Marketplace sellers for contract-based private offers. Public offers and private offers with consumption pricing remain in USD only. To get started, sellers need to provide bank accounts with SWIFT codes and associate currency preferences. To learn more, please visit the documentation on local currency offers and disbursements.
 

The AWS Lambda console now supports Amazon CloudWatch Logs Live Tail , an interactive log streaming and analytics capability which provides real-time visibility into logs, making it easier to develop and troubleshoot Lambda functions.

Customers building serverless applications using Lambda want visibility into the behavior of their Lambda functions in real time. For example, developers want to instantly see the result of their code or configuration changes, and operators want to quickly troubleshoot any critical issues which would prevent the function from operating smoothly. Previously, you had to visit the CloudWatch console to access detailed Lambda function logs or real-time log streams. Now, with Live Tail in Lambda console, you can view and analyze Lambda logs in real time as they become available. This makes it easier for developers to quickly test and validate code or configuration changes in real time, accelerating the author-test-deploy cycle (also known as the “inner dev loop”) when building applications using Lambda. The Live Tail experience also makes it easier and faster for operators and DevOps teams to detect and debug failures and critical errors in Lambda function code, reducing the mean time to recovery (MTTR) when troubleshooting Lambda function errors.

To get started, visit the Lambda console and click “Open CloudWatch Live Tail” button in the code editor. To learn more, visit the launch blog post and Lambda developer guide .

The Live Tail experience in Lambda console is available in all commercial AWS Regions where Lambda and CloudWatch Logs are available. For more information, see the AWS Region table .

Starting today, you can launch Amazon EC2 Spot Instances using Ubuntu Pro based Amazon Machine Images (AMIs). You can now easily deploy Ubuntu Pro Spot instances and get five additional years of security updates from Canonical. You will be charged on a per-second basis for Ubuntu Pro EC2 AMI instances. For any new Ubuntu Pro EC2 AMI deployments, you will now see Ubuntu Pro charges in the Elastic Compute Cloud section of your AWS bill.

Amazon EC2 Spot Instances let you take advantage of unused EC2 capacity available in the AWS cloud. Spot Instances are available at up to a 90% discount compared to On-Demand prices. You can use Spot Instances for various stateless, fault-tolerant, or flexible applications such as big data, containerized workloads, CI/CD, web servers, high-performance computing (HPC), and other test & development workloads. Spot Instances are easy to launch, scale, and manage through AWS services like Amazon ECS and Amazon EMR, or integrated third parties like Terraform and Jenkins.

Spot Instances can be launched via RunInstances API with a single additional parameter. You can also provision compute capacity across Spot Instances, RIs, and On-Demand instances to optimize performance and cost using EC2 Fleet and Auto Scaling Groups APIs. To learn more about Amazon EC2 Spot Instances, visit Amazon EC2 Spot page or technical documentation .

The AWS Lambda console now surfaces key metrics about Lambda functions in your AWS account via a built-in Amazon CloudWatch Metrics Insights dashboard, enabling you to easily identify and troubleshoot the source of errors or performance issues.

To efficiently operate distributed serverless applications built using Lambda, it is crucial to easily identify the source of errors or performance anomalies, such as spike in critical metrics like errors or invocation duration for Lambda functions in your AWS account. Previously, you had to navigate to CloudWatch console and query metrics or create custom dashboards, which caused context switching and added friction for operators and DevOps teams to effectively monitor and optimize Lambda-based applications. Now, the Lambda console features a new built-in dashboard, which leverages CloudWatch Metrics Insights capability and provides you with instant visibility into the following critical insights — most-invoked Lambda functions, functions with highest number of errors, and functions taking the longest to run. This reduces friction due to context switching and enables your operator teams to easily identify and fix the source of errors or performance anomalies without leaving the Lambda console.

To get started, simply navigate to the “Dashboard” page in the Lambda console to access the insights surfaced by Metrics Insights dashboard. To learn more, visit the launch blog post .

The Metrics Insights dashboard in Lambda console is available in all commercial AWS Regions where Lambda and CloudWatch metrics are available, including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, at no additional cost. For more information, see the AWS Region table .
