AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) expands its functionality by supporting parallel threads when using Redshift as a target during full load. Amazon Redshift is a fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse service in the cloud. You can start with just a few hundred gigabytes of data and scale to a petabyte or more. By taking advantage of the multithreaded full load task settings, you can improve the performance of your initial migration from any DMS supported sources to Amazon Redshift.

Starting today, Amazon EC2 M6i instances are available in additional AWS Regions US West (N. California) and Asia Pacific (Tokyo). Designed to provide a balance of compute, memory, storage and network resources, M6i 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. These instances are SAP-Certified and are ideal for workloads such as web and application servers, back-end servers supporting enterprise applications (e.g. Microsoft Exchange Server and SharePoint Server, SAP Business Suite, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and PostgreSQL databases), gaming servers, caching fleets, as well as for application development environments.

Starting today, customers will be able to automatically deprecate their Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) with Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager (Amazon DLM). Deprecating an AMI prevents outdated images from being accessed by new users after a specific time, helping to ensure that any new EC2 Instances are launched from only the most up-to-date AMIs. With Amazon DLM, customers can automate when to deprecate their AMIs, removing the need for complicated custom scripts.

AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) expands functionality by supporting automatic segmentation using MongoDB and Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) as a source. Using AWS DMS, you can configure DMS tasks to segment the collection of a MongoDB cluster automatically and migrate them in parallel to any AWS DMS supported target  including Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) with minimal downtime.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in its Phase One review of the proposed merger of Nvidia and Arm is obviously correct in its finding that a merger would result in a Substantial Lessing of Competition – the criterion by which it is decided whether it should go forward for a Phase Two 2 review. …
