Starting today, you can create and configure exports of your billing and cost management data using a CloudFormation template with Data Exports resources and APIs. With CloudFormation, you can use a programming language or simple text file to automate the creation of exports in a secure, efficient, and repeatable way. This allows you to configure full infrastructure stacks for billing and cost management with exports as data inputs to analytics and BI tools like Amazon Athena and Amazon QuickSight. The new resource type available for deployment in CloudFormation is an “Export”.

Starting today, the general-purpose Amazon EC2 M7a instances are now available in Europe (Frankfurt, Spain, Stockholm) regions. M7a instances, powered by 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors (code-named Genoa) with a maximum frequency of 3.7 GHz, deliver up to 50% higher performance compared to M6a instances.

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for Oracle now offers Oracle Database Standard Edition 2 (SE2) with the License-Included (LI) purchase option in additional AWS Regions and for additional instance classes. R6i instances are now available in Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Europe (Zurich), and Israel (Tel Aviv). T3 instances are now supported in Europe (Zurich) and Israel (Tel Aviv).

AWS Compute Optimizer now supports customizable EC2 rightsizing recommendations based on memory utilization. Compute Optimizer considers memory utilization metrics to generate rightsizing recommendations for EC2 instances when you enable memory utilization monitoring through AWS CloudWatch Agent or your preferred observability products .
