Multi-Attach is now available on Amazon EBS Provisioned IOPS volume type, io2. Launched in August 2020, io2 is the newest generation of our Provisioned IOPS volume type designed for 99.999% durability (100x io1) and 500:1 IOPS:GiB (10x io1). Multi-Attach lets you share access to an EBS data volume between up to 16 Nitro-based EC2 instances within the same Availability Zone (AZ). Each attached instance has full read and write permission to the shared volume. Multi-Attach is intended to make it easier to achieve higher application availability for customers that want to deploy applications that manage storage consistency from multiple writers in shared storage infrastructure.

You can now launch Apache ActiveMQ 5.15.14 brokers on Amazon MQ. This patch update to ActiveMQ contains several fixes and new features compared to the previously supported version, ActiveMQ 5.15.13.

Porting Assistant for .NET now supports automated code translation. In addition to identifying incompatibilities in the source code, Porting assistant can now automatically make changes to the source code to address commonly found incompatibilities with .NET Core. For example, when Porting Assistant detects the usage of Entity Framework in an application, it automatically adds EF Core as a dependency, update the namespaces in the source code, and add applicable stubs to allow developers to quickly port the application.

AWS Systems Manager Automation now lets you define the actions to perform when an operator cancels the execution of a runbook. Using this feature, you can automatically roll back any changes or perform necessary cleanups when the execution of a runbook is canceled.

Today, we are excited to release a new learning capsule that dives deep into Transformer models. To learn the concepts behind 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 Transformer models which use attention layers to capture dependencies non-sequentially. Transformers are a machine learning architecture model designed to handle sequential data. By building a transformer-based model that understands musical motifs, or sequences, developers can create a model that can generate new music based on a series of sequences learned during training. Get started with creating a composition using the Transformers technique in the AWS DeepComposer Music studio .

Amazon Managed Blockchain now supports Ethereum in preview. Ethereum is a popular decentralized blockchain platform that establishes a peer-to-peer network allowing participants to transact without a trusted central authority. AWS customers can easily provision Ethereum nodes in minutes, and connect to the public Ethereum main network and test networks such as Rinkeby and Ropsten. With Amazon Managed Blockchain, customers get secure networking, fast and reliable syncs to the Ethereum blockchain, durable elastic storage for ledger data, encryption at rest and transport, and secure access to the network via standard open-source Ethereum APIs. Amazon Managed Blockchain automatically scales the storage, monitors node health, replaces unhealthy nodes, and automates Ethereum software upgrades, improving the availability of customers’ Ethereum infrastructure.

You can now reboot individual brokers within your Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) cluster by using the Reboot Broker API. The Reboot Broker API enables you to test the resiliency of your data producers and consumers by simulating MSK service maintenance such as automated patching or the effect a version upgrade has on a MSK broker. Visit the Amazon MSK API Reference for information on how to use this API. 

The AWS Load Balancer Controller provides a Kubernetes native way to configure and manage Elastic Load Balancers that route traffic to applications running in Kubernetes clusters. Elastic Load Balancing offers multiple load balancers that all feature the high availability, automatic scaling, and robust security necessary to help make your applications fault tolerant.

Amazon AppFlow, a fully managed data integration service that enables customers to securely transfer data between AWS services and cloud applications, added Upsolver as a destination. You can now use Amazon AppFlow to configure data flows with Upsolver as the destination. Upsolver is a data lake ETL platform that stores data on the cloud, applies advanced transformations, and distributes it to multiple destinations.

The EC2 Hibernation feature is now available in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. Hibernation gives you the ability to launch EC2 instances, set them up as desired, hibernate them, and then quickly bring them back to life when you need them. Applications pick up exactly where they left off instead of rebuilding their memory footprint. By using Hibernation, you can maintain a fleet of pre-warmed instances to get to a productive state faster without modifying your existing applications.
