Amazon Web Services (AWS) announces the general availability of Amazon EC2 M6a and C6a bare metal instances. M6a and C6a instances are powered by 3rd generation AMD EPYC (code named Milan) processors with an all-core turbo frequency of 3.6 GHz. M6a instances deliver up to 35% better price performance compared to M5a instances, while C6a instances deliver up to 15% better price performance compared to C5a instances, and offer 10% lower cost than comparable x86-based EC2 instances. M6a and C6a 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. M6a instances are SAP-Certified and a good fit for workloads such as web and application servers, back-end servers supporting enterprise applications, web servers, micro-services, multi-player gaming servers, caching fleets, as well as for application development environments. C6a instances are well suited for compute-intensive applications like batch processing, distributed analytics, high performance computing (HPC), ad serving, highly-scalable multiplayer gaming, and video encoding.

AWS Network Firewall is now authorized as FedRAMP Moderate in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (N. California) and US West (Oregon). You can now use AWS Network Firewall to protect and control access to and from your Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) in these regions for workloads that require FedRAMP Moderate categorization level.  

We are excited to launch Unified Settings in the AWS Management Console. With Unified Settings, settings will persist across devices, browsers, and services. At launch, Unified Settings will support settings called default language, default Region, and favorite service display. Default language displays your preferred language across the Management Console, default Region sets the AWS Region that loads each time you log in or load a service console, and favorite service display will show services in the favorites bar with either the service icon and full name or only the service icon. Unified Settings is available in all public AWS Regions.

Amazon Athena now supports data stored in Amazon Ion  format, a richly-typed, self-describing format developed and open-sourced by Amazon. Amazon Ion provides interchangeable binary and text formats which combine the ease of use of text with the efficiency of binary encoding. The Ion format is currently used by internal Amazon teams, by AWS services such as Amazon Quantum Ledger Database (Amazon QLDB), and in the open source SQL query language PartiQL .

AWS Lambda is announcing Lambda Function URLs, a new feature that makes it easier to invoke functions through an HTTPS endpoint as a built-in capability of the AWS Lambda service. You can add Function URLs to new and existing functions in a single click from the console, or in a couple of lines using AWS CloudFormation or the AWS Serverless Application Model. Function URLs are ideal for getting started with buiding web services on Lambda or for common tasks like building web hooks.

AWS Amplify Studio now offers a visual interface for setting up and managing file storage resources, making it easy to store and serve user-generated content (e.g. photos and videos) from web or mobile apps. With Amplify Studio, you can easily create an Amazon S3 bucket, configure file access levels, integrate storage client libraries into your web or mobile app, and manage files in Studio’s drag and drop file explorer.
