We are excited to announce that Amazon EMR on EKS now supports programmatic execution of Jupyter notebooks when running interactive workloads via managed endpoints. Amazon EMR on EKS enables customers to run open-source big data frameworks such as Apache Spark on Amazon EKS. Amazon EMR on EKS customers can setup and use a managed endpoint (available in preview) to run interactive workloads using integrated development environments (IDEs) such as EMR Studio . 

AWS Batch now supports Linux ARM64 and Windows x86 containers in AWS Fargate. This feature helps simplify the adoption of modern container technology for AWS Batch customers by expanding their architecture options for scheduling Linux ARM64 and Windows x86 containers in Fargate compute environments. Support for ARM64 architecture also gives customers sustainability benefits of Graviton instances in Fargate which can help improve price/performance over comparable x86-based instances for a variety of workloads including high performance computing.

Amazon Connect now provides APIs to programmatically delete routing profiles and queues. You can now remove routing profile and queue resources that are no longer applicable, streamlining your contact center as requirements change and you adapt to new strategies for call flows, agent groups and other routing configurations. Deleting unused resources also frees up capacity in your service limits, giving you room to create new routing profiles and queues.
