Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP is announcing a new capability that makes it even easier to access Multi-AZ file systems from other networks (on-premises networks and peered networks in AWS). Starting today, you can create Multi-AZ file systems that you can access from other networks over AWS Transit Gateway without needing to perform any additional routing configuration—making it even quicker and easier to get started.

Amazon FSx for OpenZFS now offers a new generation of file systems that doubles the maximum throughput and IOPS performance of the existing generation and includes a high-speed NVMe cache.

AWS Nitro Enclaves now supports Amazon EKS and Kubernetes for orchestrating Nitro enclaves. You can now use familiar Kubernetes tools to orchestrate, scale, and deploy enclaves from a Kubernetes pod. 

AWS Compute Optimizer now supports external performance metrics from four observability partners: Datadog, Dynatrace, Instana, and New Relic. By using externally provided utilization metrics for Amazon EC2 memory, Compute Optimizer can now identify additional savings opportunity, and more performance-aware recommendations for customers that use these products.

AWS Lambda SnapStart for Java delivers up to 10x faster function startup performance at no extra cost. Lambda SnapStart is a performance optimization that makes it easier for you to build highly responsive and scalable Java applications using AWS Lambda, without having to provision resources or spend time and effort implementing complex performance optimizations. 

AWS announces the general availability of Amazon EC2 M6in and M6idn instances and Amazon EC2 R6in and R6idn instances. These sixth-generation network optimized instances are powered by 3^rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with an all-core turbo frequency of up to 3.5 GHz. They are the first x86-based general purpose and memory-optimized instances offering up to 200 Gbps of network bandwidth. These instances deliver up to 2x more network bandwidth and up to 2x higher packet-processing performance over comparable fifth-generation instances. The instances are built on AWS Nitro System, a combination of dedicated hardware and lightweight hypervisor that delivers practically all of the compute and memory resources of the host hardware to your instances for better overall performance and security. You can scale the performance of applications such as SQL and NoSQL databases, in-memory databases (SAP HANA), Telco applications (5G User Plane Function (UPF)), high performance file systems, distributed web scale in-memory caches, caching fleets, and real-time big data analytics.

AWS announces the general availability of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C6in instances. C6in instances are powered by 3^rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with an all-core turbo frequency of up to 3.5 GHz. They are the first x86-based Amazon EC2 compute-optimized instances offering up to 200 Gbps network bandwidth. C6in instances deliver up 2x more network bandwidth, and 2x higher packet performance than comparable C5n instances. C6in instances are built on the AWS Nitro System, a combination of dedicated hardware and lightweight hypervisor, which delivers practically all of the compute and memory resources of the host hardware to your instances for better overall performance and security. You can take advantage of the higher network bandwidth to scale the performance of applications, such as network virtual appliances (firewalls, virtual routers, load balancers), Telco 5G User Plane Function (UPF), data analytics, high performance computing (HPC), and CPU based AI/ML workloads.

Oh dear Greaser’s in trouble – crypto trouble, Ed confides to his diary, and I’m the poor sap he’s turned to to bail him out. His latest plea for help was pathetic. “Ed you’ve got to help me the creditors are trying to put me  away – I could end up doing ten years in …
