Now you can export your Amazon DynamoDB table data to your data lake in Amazon S3, and use other AWS services such as Amazon Athena, Amazon SageMaker, and AWS Lake Formation to analyze your data and extract actionable insights. No code-writing is required. 

Today, we are excited to announce a Transformers-based algorithm in AWS DeepComposer. AWS DeepComposer gives developers a creative way to get hands-on using a musical keyboard and the latest generative AI techniques to expand their skills. Transformers are state-of-the-art models that work on sequential data such as text, stock values, music, and genome sequences. With the newly launched Transformers feature, developers can iteratively extend a melody in AWS DeepComposer to create new and longer compositions.  

Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra), a scalable, highly available, and fully managed Cassandra-compatible database service, now helps you update and store common data between multiple rows efficiently by using static columns. 

Today, we are excited to announce our next AWS DeepComposer Chartbusters challenge, Keep Calm and Model On. AWS DeepComposer gives developers a creative way to get hands-on using a musical keyboard and the latest generative AI techniques to expand their skills. Chartbusters is a global competition where developers use AWS DeepComposer to create original compositions and compete to showcase their machine learning and generative AI skills for a chance to win prizes. In this challenge, developers can experiment with our newly launched Transformers algorithm which allows developers to extend an input melody by up to 30 seconds. Entries are due by January 31, 2021. Learn more about how to compete on the AWS DeepComposer Chartbusters competition.

AWS Managed Services (AMS) now provides Infrastructure Auto-Tagging feature for automated tagging of AMS infrastructure provisioned for management purposes.  

This new on-demand digital course provides a deep dive into AWS IAM and best practices for using IAM policies. The advanced course is designed for security professionals with a working knowledge of AWS and it includes five learning modules, video demonstrations, assessments, and three optional self-paced labs.

Amazon Polly is a service that turns text into lifelike speech, and today we are excited to announce the general availability of our brand-new British Newscaster speaking style voice – Amy. The speaking style mimics a formal and authoritative British newsreader and it is the result of our latest achievements in Neural Text-to-Speech (NTTS) technology. 

Starting today, Amazon Aurora Global Database is expanding its manageability capabilities to more closely match the in-region versions of Aurora. Fast Database Cloning and AWS CloudFormation are both supported.  

Today, we are excited to release a new learning capsule that provides an overview into the history of neural networks used for sequence modeling and the origins of Transformers. To learn the concepts of generative AI, developers can use easy-to-consume, bite-sized learning capsules in the AWS DeepComposer console. In this new learning capsule , developers will learn about the kind of problems sequence modeling is used to solve, the history of sequence modeling neural networks, and why Transformers are the new standard for solving sequence modeling problems. Transformers are a machine learning architecture model designed to handle sequential data. With this new model, developers can extend an input melody by up to 30 seconds.  

Amazon S3 Object Ownership is now generally available with the addition of support for AWS CloudFormation. S3 Object Ownership is a new S3 feature that enables bucket owners to automatically assume ownership of objects that are uploaded to their buckets by other AWS Accounts. This helps you to standardize ownership of new objects in your bucket, and to share and manage access to these objects at scale via resource-based policies such as a bucket policy or an access point policy. Whether your S3 bucket receives data from other AWS accounts, or stores output from AWS services like AWS CloudTrail, S3 Object Ownership simplifies the work of creating and maintaining shared data sets on Amazon S3.
