Starting today, memory-optimized Amazon Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) X2iedn instances are available in AWS Asia Pacific (Thailand) region. These instances, powered by 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors and built with AWS Nitro System, are designed for memory-intensive workloads. They deliver improvements in performance, price performance, and cost per GiB of memory compared to previous generation X1e instances. These instances are SAP-certified for running Business Suite on HANA, SAP S/4HANA, Data Mart Solutions on HANA, Business Warehouse on HANA, SAP BW/4HANA, and SAP NetWeaver workloads on any database.

To learn more, visit the EC2 X2i Instances Page, or connect with your AWS Support contacts.

AWS DataSync Enhanced mode now supports data transfers between on-premises file servers and Amazon S3 , enabling customers to transfer datasets that scale to virtually unlimited numbers of files at higher levels of performance than DataSync Basic mode.

AWS DataSync is a secure, high-speed file transfer service that optimizes data movement over a network. Enhanced mode uses parallel processing to deliver higher performance and scalability for datasets of any size, while removing file count limitations and providing detailed transfer metrics for better monitoring and management. Previously, Enhanced mode was available for data transfers between Amazon S3 locations and for multicloud transfers. This launch extends the capabilities of Enhanced mode to support transfers between on-premises NFS or SMB file servers, and Amazon S3. Using Enhanced mode, customers can accelerate generative AI workloads by rapidly moving training datasets to AWS, power data lake analytics by synchronizing on-premises data with cloud-based pipelines, and drive large-scale migrations for archival and cloud modernization.

This new capability is available in all AWS Regions where AWS DataSync is offered. To get started, visit the AWS DataSync console . For more information, see the AWS DataSync documentation .

Today, AWS Shield announces multi-account network security management and automated network analysis for network security director, which is currently in preview. AWS Shield network security director provides visibility into the AWS resources in your AWS organization, identifies missing or misconfigured network security services, and recommends remediation steps.

With network security director, you can specify a delegated administrator account from which you can start continuous network analysis for multiple accounts or organizational units in your AWS Organization. You can then centrally view each account’s network topology, network security findings, and recommended remediations for missing or misconfigured network security services. You can also easily summarize and report on the network security misconfigurations identified by AWS Shield network security director from within Amazon Q Developer in the AWS Management Console and chat applications.

AWS Shield network security director is also now available in five additional AWS regions: Europe (Ireland), Europe (Frankfurt), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), Asia Pacific (Singapore), and Australia (Sydney).

We are excited to announce that Amazon EMR Managed Scaling is now available for EMR on EC2 customers in the Asia Pacific (Malaysia, Melbourne, New Zealand, Taipei, Thailand), Canada West (Calgary), and Mexico (Central) AWS Regions. Amazon EMR Managed Scaling automatically resizes the EC2 instances in your EMR cluster for the best performance at the lowest possible cost.

With Amazon EMR Managed Scaling, you simply specify the minimum and maximum compute limits for your clusters, and Amazon EMR on EC2 automatically resizes your cluster for optimal performance and resource utilization. Amazon EMR Managed Scaling constantly monitors key workload-related metrics and uses an algorithm that optimizes the cluster size for the best resource utilization. Using this algorithm, Amazon EMR can scale the EC2 cluster up during peaks and scale it down during idle periods, reducing your costs and optimizing cluster capacity for the best performance. Amazon EMR Managed Scaling can also be used with Amazon EC2 Spot Instances, that lets you take advantage of unused EC2 capacity for a discount when compared to on-demand prices.

Amazon EMR Managed Scaling is now available in all AWS commercial regions.

Amazon EMR Managed Scaling is supported for Apache Spark, Apache Hive and YARN-based workloads on Amazon EMR on EC2 versions 6.14 and above. To learn more and to get started, visit the Amazon EMR Managed Scaling user guide .
