Amazon OpenSearch Service now offers a new multi-tier storage option powered by OpenSearch Optimized Instances. This new architecture combines Amazon S3 cloud technology with local instance storage to deliver improved durability and performance. The new multi-tier architecture features two tiers: hot and warm. The hot tier handles frequently accessed data, while the warm tier leverages Amazon S3 for cost-effective storage of less frequently accessed data. 

Until now, Amazon OpenSearch Service supported a warm tier through UltraWarm, which provided cost-effective storage for read-only data. The new warm tier powered by OpenSearch Optimized instances supports write operations, providing greater flexibility for data management. You can automate rotating data from hot to warm as it ages using Index State Management feature.

For warm tier deployments, customers can use OpenSearch Optimized (OI2) instances (size ‘large’ to ‘8xlarge’), with addressable warm of up to five times the local cache size. tandard Managed Storage charges apply for warm data. The new Multi-tier experience is available on OpenSearch 3.3 and above. For more information please refer to the documentation .

New Multi-Tier experience on OI2 instance family is now available on Amazon OpenSearch Service across 12 regions globally: US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London, Spain).  Please refer to the Amazon OpenSearch Service pricing page  for pricing details

Today, AWS Payment Cryptography has expanded to Australia (Sydney) Region, and now supports AS2805 functionality. This expansion represents the service’s thirteenth AWS Region worldwide. With AS2805 capabilities customers can migrate more payment workloads to AWS while maintaining operability with other companies utilizing this standard.

Australia, New Zealand and several other countries rely on Australia Standards 2805 (AS2805) as a consistent approach for managing cryptography between organizations for card payments. Historically, these companies required Hardware Security Modules (HSM) to perform these operations in a compliant, compatible manner. AWS Payment Cryptography now provides equivalent functionality for node-to-node use cases in an elastic, scalable service, eliminating the operational burden of procuring and managing standalone hardware. Customers can leverage the service’s use of PCI-certified HSMs as part of their overall compliance programs while using APIs that integrate with AWS IAM and AWS CloudTrail.

AWS Payment Cryptography is available in the following AWS Regions: Canada (Montreal), US East (Ohio, N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Ireland, Frankfurt, London), Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Singapore, Tokyo, Osaka, Mumbai) and Australia New Zealand (Sydney).

To start using the service, please download the latest AWS CLI/SDK and see the AWS Payment Cryptography user guide for more information including further compliance details.

You can now deploy AWS IAM Identity Center in 37 AWS Regions, including Asia Pacific (Taipei).

IAM Identity Center is the recommended service for managing workforce access to AWS applications. It enables you to connect your existing source of workforce identities to AWS once and offer your users single sign on experience across AWS. It powers the personalized experiences offered by AWS applications, such as Amazon Q, and the ability to define and audit user-aware access to data in AWS services, such as Amazon Redshift. It can also help you manage access to multiple AWS accounts from a central place. IAM Identity Center is available at no additional cost in these AWS Regions .
