AWS Storage Gateway introduces file-level upload notifications for File Gateway, enabling you to trigger automated workflows in the cloud and easily process on-premises file data stored with AWS as Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) objects.  

Today, we are reducing the price of Amazon EBS Cold HDD (sc1) volumes by 40%, or an estimated $160 for each 16TB sc1 volume.  

AWS Snowball Edge now supports Windows operating systems, including Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016, and Windows Server 2019. Previously, you were able to run instances on Snowball devices using either the Ubuntu or CentOS Linux operating systems. Now, with support for Windows, you can run your Windows-based workloads at the edge on Snowball Edge Compute Optimized and Snowball Edge Storage Optimized devices.  

AWS DataSync can now transfer billions of files or objects between Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon Elastic File System (EFS), or Amazon FSx for Windows File Server, with just a few clicks in the DataSync console. This enables you to easily replicate data between your managed file systems for business continuity, as well as copy portions of your data to different buckets or file systems as needed by evolving application requirements.

AWS DataSync now enables you to have more granular control over the portion of network bandwidth used to transfer your data. In addition to the existing capability allowing you to set a maximum network bandwidth limit per task, you can now increase or decrease this limit while the task is running. This enables you to minimize impact on other users or applications when a task spans multiple days.

AWS Snowball Edge now supports the ability to import virtual machine (VM) images as Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) into your Snowball Edge device after it has been deployed to your edge location, reducing the time it takes to add or update AMIs at the edge from days to minutes. This feature is available for the Snowball Edge Compute Optimized and Snowball Edge Storage Optimized device types and is available in all AWS Regions where these device types are available, and at no additional cost.  

Now you can control connection pool configuration in your mesh and leverage outlier detection functionality that simplifies implementing circuit breaker capabilities and helps to build applications resilient to connection errors. AWS App Mesh is a service mesh that provides application-level networking to make it easy for your services to communicate with each other across multiple types of compute infrastructure. AWS App Mesh standardizes how your services communicate, giving you end-to-end visibility and helping to provide high availability for your applications. 

Amazon FSx for Lustre, a service that provides high-performance shared storage, now supports storage quotas. With storage quotas, you can monitor and control user- and group-level storage consumption on your file systems to ensure that no user or group consumes excessive amounts of capacity. Storage quotas are ideal for storage administrators who manage multi-user file systems such as user shares for data scientists, computational engineers, and genomics researchers. 

AWS Transfer Family now supports creating Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) hosted server endpoints in centrally managed and shared Amazon VPC environments, helping you meet your compliance requirements as you segment your AWS environment using tools such as AWS Landing Zone for security, cost monitoring, and scalability.

Amazon CodeGuru Profiler helps developers improve application performance and reduce costs by pinpointing an application’s most expensive line of code, and providing recommendations on how to improve code to save money.
