Today, AWS Amplify Hosting announces monorepo framework support for npm workspaces, Yarn workspaces, pnpm workspaces, Turborepo and Nx. With this release, AWS Amplify Hosting offers fully managed CI/CD deployments and hosting for apps contained within a monorepo (aka monorepository, multi-package repository, multi-project repository, or monolithic repository).

Today, we are announcing the general availability of AWS Wavelength on the BT 4G/5G network in Manchester. Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), enterprises, and developers can now use the AWS Wavelength Zone in Manchester to build ultra-low latency applications for mobile devices and users in the United Kingdom.

Amazon Kendra is an intelligent search service powered by machine learning, enabling organizations to provide relevant information to customers and employees, when they need it. Starting today, AWS customers can use Amazon Kendra as a retriever to build retrieval augmented generation (RAG) systems.

Today, we are announcing the availability of AWS Backup Audit Manager in AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions. AWS Backup Audit Manager is a feature within the AWS Backup service that allows you to audit and report on the compliance of your data protection policies to help you meet your business and regulatory needs. AWS Backup enables you to centralize and automate data protection policies across AWS services based on organizational best practices and regulatory standards, and AWS Backup Audit Manager helps you maintain and demonstrate compliance with those policies.

Starting this week, NoSQL Workbench for Amazon DynamoDB is now available in the AWS GovCloud (US-West and US-East) Regions. NoSQL Workbench is a client-side tool that helps you design, visualize, and build scalable, high-performance data models, and query Amazon DynamoDB tables with a point-and-click interface. 

Today, we are announcing an improvement for Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) performance on Amazon EC2 memory-optimized R6a instance type.

We are excited to announce that you can now use Amazon Athena to query data stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) Glacier storage classes. S3 Glacier is a secure and durable service for low-cost data archiving and long-term backup. With this launch, you can use Athena to directly query restored data in the Glacier Flexible Retrieval and Deep Archive storage classes, saving you time by removing the need to move and duplicate data.

We are announcing the general availability of the Amazon Kinesis Video Streams Edge Agent. This feature offers a simple, efficient, and cost-effective way to connect to IP cameras on customer premises, locally record and store video from those cameras, and stream videos to the cloud on a customer-defined schedule for long term storage, playback, and analytical processing. 

Amazon S3 now provides the restore status of objects stored in Amazon S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval and Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive using the S3 LIST API. This new information in S3 LIST API responses can be integrated into your applications, helping you identify and access restored objects from S3 Glacier. For example, S3 Glacier restore status is now integrated into Amazon Athena, so you can run queries against your restored data from low-cost S3 Glacier storage classes.

AWS Batch now supports specifying a minimum number of vCPUs (Min vCPUs) for Multi-Node Parallel (MNP) Jobs. MNP jobs allow users to run large-scale tightly coupled workloads, such as ML training, across multiple Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances. With this launch, customers can now retain a specified number of vCPUs on a compute environment (CE) even when there are no jobs running. This feature enables customers to maintain a warm pool of healthy instances for MNP jobs, helping prevent situations where capacity is returned to EC2 due to rapid scale down.
