With Amazon S3 Express One Zone support for logging of all data plane API actions in AWS CloudTrail, you can get details on who made API calls to S3 Express One Zone and when API calls were made, thereby enhancing data visibility for governance, compliance, and operational auditing. Now, you can use AWS CloudTrail to log S3 Express One Zone object-level activity such as PutObject and GetObject, in addition to directory-bucket level actions such as CreateBucket and DeleteBucket that were already supported.

With logging of all events in AWS CloudTrail, you can quickly determine which S3 Express One Zone objects were created, read, updated or deleted and identify the source of the API calls. If you detect unauthorized S3 Express One Zone object access, you can take immediate action to restrict access. In addition, you can use CloudTrail features such as advanced event selectors for granular control over which events are logged and CloudTrail integration with Amazon EventBridge to create rule-based workflows for event-driven architectures.

You can enable AWS CloudTrail data events logging for S3 Express One Zone in all AWS Regions where S3 Express One Zone is available . Get started with CloudTrail event logging for S3 Express One Zone by using the CloudTrail console , AWS CLI , or AWS SDKs. For pricing information, visit the CloudTrail pricing page . To learn more, see the S3 User Guide , S3 Express One Zone product page  and the AWS News Blog .

RDS Data API for Aurora Serverless v2 and Aurora provisioned PostgreSQL-Compatible database instances is now available in Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Paris), US West (N. California), US East (Ohio), Canada (Central) regions. RDS Data API allows you to access these Aurora clusters via a secure HTTP endpoint and run SQL statements without the use of database drivers and without managing connections.

Data API eliminates the use of drivers and improves application scalability by automatically pooling and sharing database connections (connection pooling) rather than requiring customers to manage connections. Customers can call Data API via AWS SDK and CLI. Data API also enables access to Aurora databases via AWS AppSync GraphQL APIs. API commands supported in the Data API for Aurora Serverless v2 and Aurora provisioned are backwards compatible with Data API for Aurora Serverless v1 for easy customer application migrations.

Data API supports Aurora PostgreSQL 15.3, 14.8, 13.11 and higher versions. Customers currently using Data API for ASv1 are encouraged to migrate to ASv2 to take advantage of the new Data API. To learn more, read the documentation .

Today, we’re announcing next-generation Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP file systems that provide higher scalability and enhanced flexibility compared to previous-generation file systems. Previous-generation file systems consisted of a single highly-available (HA) pair of file servers with up to 4 GBps of throughput. Next-gen file systems can be created or expanded with up to 12 HA pairs, allowing you to scale up to 72 GB/s of total throughput (up to 6 GBps per pair), giving you the flexibility to scale performance and storage to meet the needs of your most demanding workloads.

With next-gen FSx for ONTAP file systems, a single HA pair can now deliver up to 6 GBps of throughput, providing workloads running on a single HA even more room to grow. However, customers with the most compute-intensive workloads need the higher throughput provided by a file system with multiple HA pairs. Before today, these customers could create a file system with multiple HA pairs but couldn’t add HA pairs or adjust its throughput at a later time. Now, next-gen file systems allow you to add HA pairs and adjust their throughput capacity, giving you additional flexibility to optimize your workload’s performance over time.

Next-gen file systems are available today in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe (Ireland), and Asia-Pacific (Sydney). You can create next-gen Multi-AZ file systems with a single HA pair, and Single-AZ file systems with up to 12 HA pairs. To learn more, visit the FSx for ONTAP user guide .

Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, a service that provides fully managed shared storage built on NetApp’s popular ONTAP file system, today announced support for the NVMe-over-TCP (NVMe/TCP) block storage protocol. Using NVMe/TCP, you can accelerate your block storage workloads such as databases and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) with lower latency compared to traditional iSCSI block storage, and simplify multi-path IO (MPIO) configuration relative to iSCSI.

FSx for ONTAP provides you with multi-protocol access to fully managed shared storage, including the iSCSI protocol for deploying applications such as databases and VDI that rely on shared block storage. NVMe/TCP is an implementation of the NVMe protocol that transports data over TCP using traditional Ethernet as a fabric. With this launch, you have the option of using NVMe/TCP to provide shared block storage for these applications in order to take advantage of NVMe/TCP’s lower latency and simplified setup.

NVMe/TCP is available on all second-generation Amazon FSx for ONTAP file systems in all AWS Regions where they’re available. To learn more, visit the FSx for ONTAP user guide .

AWS Glue Data Catalog now supports generating column-level aggregated statistics for Apache Iceberg tables. These statistics are now integrated with cost-based optimizer (CBO) from Amazon Redshift Spectrum, resulting in improved query performance and potential cost savings.

Apache Iceberg support statistics such as nulls, min, max, but lacks support for generating aggregation statistics such as number of distinct values (NDV). With this launch, you now have integrated end-to-end experience where NDVs are collected on columns of Apache Iceberg table and stored in Apache Iceberg Puffin files. Amazon Redshift use these aggregation statistics to optimize queries by applying the most restrictive filters as early as possible in the query processing, thereby limiting memory usage and the number of records read to provide the query results.

To get started, you can generate statistics for an Apache Iceberg table using AWS Glue Console or AWS Glue APIs. With each run, Glue Catalog will compute statistics for current Iceberg table snapshot, store in an Iceberg puffin file and Glue Catalog. As you run queries from Amazon Redshift Spectrum , you will automatically get the query performance improvements with built-in integration with Apache Iceberg.

Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, a fully managed shared storage service built on NetApp’s popular ONTAP file system, now allows you to read data from a volume while it is being restored from a backup. The feature “read-access during backup restores” allows you to improve Recovery Time Objectives by up to 17x for read-only workloads that rely on backup restores for business continuity, such as media streaming and compliance verification.

You can restore an FSx for ONTAP backup into a new volume at any time. Before today, when you restored a backup, Amazon FSx provided read-write access to data once the backup was fully downloaded onto the volume. The restore process typically took minutes to hours—depending on the backup size. Starting today, Amazon FSx enables read access to data within minutes of initiating a restore, enabling you to browse through your backup and retrieve critical data to resume operations faster in the event of accidental data modification or deletion. The volume becomes writable automatically once data has been fully restored. Now, you can reduce time to recover media streaming applications when the primary volume becomes unavailable by serving reads from a volume being restored, and compliance teams can initiate audits sooner by accessing data without waiting for the restore to complete.

This feature is available on all new and existing FSx for ONTAP second-generation file systems in all AWS Regions where FSx for ONTAP second-generation file systems are available. See the FSx for ONTAP product documentation for more details.
