AWS Transfer Family now supports managed workflows that makes it easy for you to create, execute, and monitor post upload processing for file transfers over SFTP, FTPS, and FTP for Amazon S3 and Amazon EFS. Using this feature, you can save time with low code automation to coordinate all the necessary tasks such as copying and tagging. You can also configure custom logic to scan for errors in the data including Personal Identifiable Information (PII), viruses, malware, or incorrect file formats or types. With managed workflows, quickly detect anomalies and meet your compliance requirements with ease.

Amazon EBS direct APIs now supports creating 64 TB EBS Snapshots directly from any block storage data, including on-premises data. With this new capability, customers can use EBS Snapshots for disaster recovery of their largest on-premises workloads and achieve business continuity in AWS at lower costs.

Amazon S3 Multi-Region Access Points accelerate performance by up to 60% when accessing data sets that are replicated across multiple AWS Regions. Based on AWS Global Accelerator, S3 Multi-Region Access Points consider factors like network congestion and the location of the requesting application to dynamically route your requests over the AWS network to the lowest latency copy of your data. This automatic routing allows you to take advantage of the global infrastructure of AWS while maintaining a simple application architecture.

The Amazon S3 Intelligent-Tiering  storage class automates storage cost savings for a wider range of workloads by eliminating the minimum storage duration, and removing the low per-object monitoring and automation charges for objects smaller than 128 KB. S3 Intelligent-Tiering is the only cloud storage class that delivers automatic storage cost savings when data access patterns change, without performance impact or operational overhead. Previously, S3 Intelligent-Tiering was optimized for long-lived objects stored for a minimum of 30 days and objects larger than 128 KB. With these changes, S3 Intelligent-Tiering is the ideal storage class for data with unknown, changing, or unpredictable access patterns, independent of object size or retention period. You can use S3 Intelligent-Tiering as the default storage class for data lakes, analytics, and new applications.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) announces the general availability of Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, a storage service that allows customers to launch and run complete, fully managed ONTAP file systems in the cloud for the first time. ONTAP is NetApp’s file system technology that has traditionally powered on-premises network-attached storage (NAS) and provides a widely adopted set of data access and data management capabilities. Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP provides the popular features, performance, and APIs of ONTAP file systems with the agility, scalability, and simplicity of a fully managed AWS service, making it easier for customers to migrate on-premises applications that rely on NAS appliances to AWS. It also provides developers with high-performance and feature-rich file storage that makes it easy to build, test, and run cloud-native applications.

Amazon SageMaker is now available in the AWS Asia Pacific (Osaka) Region. Amazon SageMaker is a fully managed service that provides every developer and data scientist with the ability to build, train, and deploy machine learning (ML) models quickly. SageMaker removes the heavy lifting from each step of the machine learning process to make it easier to develop high quality models.

AWS CloudEndure Migration Factory Solution coordinates and automates manual processes for larger scaled migrations involving a substantial number of servers. This solutions implementation helps enterprises improve migration velocity and prevents long cutover windows by providing an orchestration and automation platform for rehosting servers to AWS at scale.

Today, we are announcing the launch of Amazon Monitron Gateway (Ethernet) , a new gateway device that allows customers to use their ethernet network to connect Monitron to the internet. The ethernet gateway joins the Wi-Fi gateway that was launched in December 2020, giving customers even more options for Amazon Monitron internet connectivity. Amazon Monitron is an end-to-end  system that uses machine learning (ML) to detect abnormal conditions in industrial equipment, enabling you to implement predictive maintenance and reduce unplanned downtime. It includes sensors to capture vibration and temperature data from equipment, a gateway device to securely transfer data to AWS, the Amazon Monitron service that analyzes the data for abnormal equipment conditions using machine learning, and a companion mobile app to set up the devices and receive reports on operating behavior and alerts to potential failures in your equipment.

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for MariaDB now supports MariaDB minor versions 10.5.12 , 10.4.21 , 10.3.31 , and 10.2.40 . We recommend that you upgrade to the latest minor versions to fix known security vulnerabilities in prior versions of MariaDB, and to benefit from the numerous bug fixes, performance improvements, and new functionality added by the MariaDB community.

AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) expands functionality by adding support for migrating multiple databases in one task using MongoDB and Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) as a source. Using AWS DMS, you can now group multiple databases of a MongoDB cluster and migrate them using one DMS task to any AWS DMS supported targets including Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) with minimal downtime.
