Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) I4g storage-optimized instances powered by AWS Graviton2 processors are now generally available. I4g instances deliver the best compute price performance for a storage-optimized instance versus comparable x86-based storage optimized instances, and the best storage performance per TB for a Graviton-based storage instance. Based on AWS Nitro SSDs that are custom built by AWS and reduce both latency and latency variability, I4g instances are optimized for workloads that perform a high mix of random read/write and require very low I/O latency, such as transactional databases (Amazon DynamoDB, MySQL, and PostgreSQL) and real-time analytics such as Apache Spark.

We’re excited to announce the General Availability of AWS IoT Device Defender and the secure tunneling feature of AWS IoT Device Management in the AWS Middle East (UAE) Region, providing flexibility to customers and extending the service footprint to an additional location in the Middle East besides AWS Middle East (Bahrain) Region. 

Amazon MemoryDB for Redis now makes it simpler and faster for you to get started with setting up a new MemoryDB cluster. The new console experience offers streamlined navigation and minimal settings required to configure a cluster, in just a few clicks.

Amazon Redshift Data Sharing, a secure way to share live data across Amazon Redshift clusters, is now available in AWS China regions. Customers can now share data to provisioned clusters and serverless workgroups in the same account and different accounts, as long as they are within the same region. Redshift Data Sharing enables instant, granular, and high-performance data access across Redshift clusters without the need to copy or move data. Redshift Data Sharing provides live access to the data so that your users always see the most up-to-date and consistent information as it is updated in the data warehouse. Redshift Data Sharing can be used on your Amazon Redshift RA3 clusters at no additional cost.

Starting today, Amazon EC2 High Memory instances with 12TiB of memory (u-12tb1.112xlarge) are now available in Asia Pacific (Mumbai) Region. Customers can start using these new High Memory instances with On Demand and Savings Plan purchase options.

Today, Amazon QuickSight announces the general availability of managing Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) connections via public APIs and an enhanced UX with Multi-AZ support. APIs enable you to create, update, delete, list and describe VPC connections. This launch enables you to create private VPC connections as part of your Infrastructure as Code (IaC) efforts with full support for AWS CloudFormation.

Amazon QuickSight now supports State Persistence for embedded dashboards (and consoles) for registered users. Embedded QuickSight dashboards now remember filter selections between visits when accessed as a registered QuickSight user. Registered users can also Bookmark specific views of the embedded dashboard, making it simple to access your preferences from one convenient location. For example, you can create a Bookmark for an embedded dashboard with a specific filter setting that differs from the original dashboard. This allows you to quickly switch between relevant views without having to re-initializing the filters. You can enable Bookmarks and State Persistence using the GenerateEmbedUrlForRegisteredUser API.
