Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, a service that provides fully managed shared storage built on NetApp’s popular ONTAP file system, is announcing two additional monitoring capabilities that enable you to monitor file system events and diagnose network connectivity: you can now access ONTAP Event Management System (EMS) logs and collect packet captures on your file systems.

Today, AWS announced Windows support on Karpenter (Starting with v0.29.0), the open-source node provisioning and management project. Using Karpenter, customers can now quickly scale their Amazon EKS clusters running Windows with right-sized Amazon EC2 instances in response to changing application load. Karpenter helps customers optimize their operational overhead and costs during this process without manually adjusting the compute capacity of their clusters, overprovisioning compute to meet rapidly changing demand, or creating multiple EC2 Autoscaling Groups (ASGs).

Following the announcement of updates to the PostgreSQL database by the open source community, we have updated Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition to support PostgreSQL 15.3, 14.8, 13.11, 12.15, and 11.20. These releases contains product improvements and bug fixes made by the PostgreSQL community, along with Aurora-specific improvements. This release also contains new features and improvements for Babelfish for Aurora PostgreSQL version 3.2 and improved support for Amazon Web Services Database Migration Service version 3.5.1 Aurora PostgreSQL target endpoint Babelfish data types. Refer to the Aurora version policy to help you to decide how often to upgrade and how to plan your upgrade process. As a reminder, if you are running any version of Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL 11, you must upgrade to a newer major version by January 31, 2024.

Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition now supports the pgvector extension to store embeddings from machine learning (ML) models in your database and to perform efficient similarity searches. Embeddings are numerical representations (vectors) created from generative AI that capture the semantic meaning of text input into a large language model (LLM). pgvector can store and search embeddings from Amazon Bedrock, Amazon SageMaker, and more.

AWS Lambda can now detect and stop recursive loops in Lambda functions. Customers build event-driven applications using Lambda functions to process events from sources like Amazon SQS and Amazon SNS. However, in certain scenarios, due to resource misconfiguration or code defect, a processed event may be sent back to the same service or resource that invoked the Lambda function. This can cause an unintended recursive loop, and result in unintended usage and costs for customers. With this launch, Lambda will stop recursive invocations between Amazon SQS, AWS Lambda, and Amazon SNS after 16 recursive calls.
