Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion launches new user interface for easy blueprint discovery

By

Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion now offers a new user interface that enables searching for blueprints using full-text search in the AWS Console, helping you easily discover all the sources that you can ingest data from into Amazon OpenSearch Service. Blueprints are pre-filled OpenSearch Ingestion configuration files that help you quickly get started with ingesting data from popular sources like Amazon S3, DynamoDB and Security Lake. The new interface now also offers visual tiles with icons for all your favorite blueprints, providing you a bird’s-eye view to all the sources and sinks supported by Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion.

The new user interface for blueprints offers a customized getting started guide for each source, detailing keys steps in setting up a successful end-to-end integration. As part of the visual overhaul, Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion now also offers support for specifying the pipeline configuration in JSON format in the AWS Console in addition to the existing YAML support. This will allow you to confidently copy and paste configurations from your text or code editors without having to worry about formatting errors due to inconsistent whitespace.

These features are available in all the AWS commercial regions where Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion is currently available.

Amazon MWAA now supports Airflow REST API with web server auto scaling

By

Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA) now supports the Airflow REST API along with web server auto scaling, allowing customers to programmatically monitor and manage their Apache Airflow environments at scale. 

Amazon MWAA is a managed orchestration service for Apache Airflow that makes it easier to set up and operate end-to-end data pipelines in the cloud. With Airflow REST API support, customers can now monitor workflows, trigger new executions, manage connections, and perform other administration tasks with ease via scalable API calls. Web server auto scaling enables MWAA to automatically scale out the Airflow web servers to handle increased demand, whether from REST API requests, Command Line Interface (CLI) usage, or more concurrent Airflow User Interface (UI) users.

You can launch or upgrade an Apache Airflow environment to include web server auto scaling on Amazon MWAA with just a few clicks in the AWS Management Console in all currently supported Amazon MWAA regions . To learn more about Airflow REST API and web server auto scaling, visit the Launch Blog . To learn more about Amazon MWAA visit the Amazon MWAA documentation .

Application Load Balancer launches IPv6 only support for internet clients

By

Application Load Balancer (ALB) now allows customers to provision load balancers without IPv4s for clients that can connect using just IPv6s. To connect, clients can resolve AAAA DNS records that are assigned to ALB. The ALB is still dual stack for communication between the load balancer and targets. With this new capability, you have the flexibility to use both IPv4s or IPv6s for your application targets, while avoiding IPv4 charges for clients that don’t require it.

To get started, you can either create a new dual-stack ALB without public IPv4 or modify existing ALBs to use dual-stack without public IPv4 using AWS APIs or console. There are no additional charges for using this feature. The internet facing Ipv6 only ALB is now available in all commercial AWS Regions , and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions .
